Enrrons: Having but late ly noticed quit© a number of comma-. nications in the 11nroarint from .dif- ferent localities, and myself having the honor of being a resident of To wanda, I thought I might writ-kerne thing which would interest the read ers of your widely circulated sheet. Ithaca is a thriving village of seven or eight thousandinhabitants, and is situated at the head of Cayuga Lake. It is surrounded by some of the most beautiful and enchanting scenery— cascades •and Waterfalls being the chief objects of attraction, of which there are said to be nearly a hundred within a - radiusof ten miles of Itha ca, which - vary from twenty ' to. two hundred feet in height. ' Corn, l University, destined soon to become the leading .institution of America, and. a monument of per petual glory to the "Forest City," is beautifully situated on the bill about a mile northeast of the center of the town, and . conunands An extensive view of the surrounding country, There are at present four buildings finished and in coKse of construc tion. The "McGraw building," •as it is called from its donor, John Mc- Graw, Esq.,, f Ithaca, is slowly grow ing into significance, and will be com pleted, it is thought, in about one year. It is to be the central univer sity .building, and is to'have a. fewer made expressly to contain the chimes presented to the Uuiversity by Miss Jennie McGraw and Mrs. President White. It has been reported that nearly all the trustees of Cascadilla Place had declared their willingness to convey the building to the trustees of Cornell University. It was origi nally built with the intention of es tablishing a Water-cure, and is now subject to a lease of Cornell Univer sity, and is used as a dormitory for certain members of the faculty and a part of the students. This will make the fifth building belOnging to the University. The buildings present au imposing appearance, and with the..exception of the Labaratory, are constructed of stone of a grayish cast trimmed off with, white, and are built with a. view of enduring for ages. The number of students in Ihe Uni versity is about COO, of whom 320 tire freshmen, the seniors juniors and' sophomores 'making up the remain der. A s the freshmen outnumber the " sOphs,' thero i:; not much danger of rushing or of trampling freslunen under feet, although a slight attempt was made on Friday, the Bth resulting in a drawn battle and sonic little damage to the South University building. - Your "humble servant'-' had the hono>i . of being engaged . in it and getting hat pretty well dig comfited. The class of "'73" held a mooting at Military Hall on Saturday the 9th, at 3 p.m., and it wasresolved to- have no rushing in the future • un less it was begun by some opposite party; in that case it • was resolved that we would stand up for our rights. These resolutions will insure the class of " '74" with a pleasant reception. Cornell University is fast gaining in popularity. students repre sent nearly every State in the Union, as - well as some foreign countries. Among the members of the class of " '73" a State Representative lifts his head. • I say lifts his head, for he stands at least six feet in his "stock ings. He is a strong built, muscular man, as some of the devoted class of " '72 " found out in the little scrim image we had on Friday. The University „present; facilities , for learning which are not to be found in other colleges. The ever-memo rable expression of . its founder, the Hon. Ezra Cornell, ‘,‘ I would _found an institution where any person can find - instruction in any study," has been the aim of the University, and for these " who have to work their *ay," as it is pretty genet dly express,. faeties - are, off, -by which they may earn_ at least something to- Wards defraying the 'expenses of Their education: Indeed, those • who are engaged in labor in and abdilf the Untversity, for purpose of de fraying their own expenses, are called the "Legion -of Honor." President White is traveling •in the Western States; before his return he will visit some of the - Western institutions and the lands belonging to Cornell Uni versity.

E. 1 [For tho Ilzronrzu.] TEM:MUNOZ AND PRITIOtOGY • , _ The advoeates of total abstinence from all that intoxicates " are often met with the - claim that "abstinence i 8 not temperance." As temperance admits the use of whatever is needful to the `healthful sustenance of our bodies, for the vig orous performance of all their fune.; tions:so abstinence should disallow the usdof whatever' disturbs or proves positively injurious to the vitaLecon omy. • - Whether temperance implies total abstinenCe from the use of alcoholic_ stimulants, depends upon the settle ment of the single simple question by the phYsiolOgists: . Is it in any sense food, or healthful? • By common consent, alcohol is clas sified with poisons—hence is in no :ense food—as experiment proves it indigestible and in no way usable in the-organic economy. We are told that alcohol contains the " sperit" .o'f the grain, hence it must be nour ishing—while the truth is the " spir it " or life of tho grain is destroyed in -distillation, and in alcohol we have only the product of decomposition and decay—an inorganic substance. ,The experiments of physiologists prove that . alcohol is expelled un changed from the living system, hence war, and -Waste of - the vital forces. This vital resistance sonic learned men have mistaken for increased vi tality. This waste of lif: principle they lip-Vo mistaken for its accumula tion. This mistake, and' the practices which grow out of . it, are the chief obstacles in the way of temperance reform, and the source of most of the debauchery, vice and crime in our land. The false doctrine which mis takes stimulation for strength, dice tuallyparalyzes the temperance cause, and is the basis of the traffic in in toxicating drinks. Some advocates for the-use of alto= hol affirm that " all our food contains poison;" hence alcohol, or poisonous drugs, may be good for us and even necessary to health. - Such animation can have no foun dation in science, from the fact that all, vita properties are destroyed and lost in the analysis Of" food . proper... By physiology we learn the distinc tion between dead and living,or or , mune. and inorganic matter, and that in the relation to each other the liv ing syStetn is- active and the dead matter, passive. This enables . us -- 'tT:P. affirm that al cohol does not "act ion " the living system to impart either vitality or heat. Alcohol may occasion heat as a disturbing agent (as "the essence . of heat is motion ").1, If we . recog nize in a body the sensation of heal ; its molecular particles are in rapid Motion, the consequence of some dis turbine, element ors influence. Any schooffboy.can illustrate this pie by placing a nail upon an anvils. and striling,',it 'a few blows in quick succession with a hammer. Alcohol occasions heat in.the vital domain only as 'a non-usable sub stance; and all the heat thus pranc ed is of the kind denominated' fever or inflammation. . If this doctrine is true, as we have before affirmed,-then total abstinence from all poiSonpus drugs and alco holic• stimulants,. in sickness. and health, is the only safe and true teni• perance4Latform. . quiz. MOEN OF GUNPOWDER. The greatest improvement' which the militarY•service everreceived;was in the invention of-Gunpowder, which as Polydote Virgil -relates, was about the year '1430 of Christ, by Bartholo-• dile Schwartz, a learned Franciscan monk; who, having applied himself to chemical investigations, happened to mix together, for some particular purpose, such ingredients as form the constituent parts of gunpowder, viz : saltpetre, sulphur,eharcoal. This com position, being put ipttku raortar, and covered with a stone, happened to take fire, and blew off,the stone to a considerable distance. The monk was at first greatly. suFprise'd and frightened.: but, recovering himself, he , soon discovered some of those. particular uses to 'which. it . *as after wards so successfully applied. ' Schwartz first taught the use of it to Venetians, in the year 1430; during the war with the Genoese.; and it was first employed by ' them in a place called Possa Ciodia, against Lawrence De Medicis ; and all Italy comphiined of it as a manifest innovation on the rules oflawful war. - .But what - contradicts this account i and Shows gimpowder to i lie .of an earlier date, is the fact mentioned ,by Peter 'Alexia, that the ]Moors, being be,siegeitin 1643 by, Alplaonstis ;XI, -king, of Castile, he discharged a sort of iron mortars uPoit them, which made a,noise like thunder.

AS is usual in till discussions, two ex tremes-are; developed in the contro versy respecting „tobacco. One party regards the use btbf tobacco as an ova, en evil only, and that iontinnally ; it holds that there is no such thing as moderation of evil; and•thait tho least use of the weed is pernicious, impair ing the, health and shortening the life. On the other hand, the adv,ocates of smoking and clicking take the bull 'by the horn's, aid undertake to de monstrate from the latest, grounds of physiology i that tobacco. is an article_ whose use, in due moderation, econo mizes the nervous force, repairs Cere bral wasteS, and prolongs life: - • We shall not take part in the controversy. There are several grounds on which we would dissuade young men who have not formed the habit of using tobacco from ever learning to use it. 1. It is not necessary to health or to comfort. No one Lisa natural crav ing for it. Ori the contrary,it is utter. - - ly rotaignant , to a' natural appetite. It offends the senses and every vital organ. Men are obliged to train themselves into its use. The stom ach, the heart, and the brain 1 -till pro test against it, and submit, at length, only as they do to any other medicinal :agent.. That it may become, . after long use, necessary to comfort, and even to the health, is saying 'Of it only - what may be said of opium, of strychnine,• and of arsenic, - all of which are employed for : - the very same purpose that tobacco is, viz: to produce excitement. But the need is secondaiy, artificial, and acquired. No man in health eaves to use tobac co because he needs it. The habit begins in puerile imitation. It is an apish trick Boys revolt against boy hood, and think they are nien, when old - enough to copy the faults of an imperfect manhood. They are very apt to crawl, into manhood through the flirty dour of vice.. .- It may be. said that, though there is no natural craving - forituy particu, lar drug, like .toba , ..eo, - yet in a highly artificial state • of :society men crave stimulants, and ti O.; tobacco, alcohol, &c., if used with rigid moderation, adapt themselves as artificial supplies to an artificial want. • That men living under the highly exciting conditions of - modern society need certain stimulants, we am not disposed to . deny. But is selecting one should avoid . those which are peculiarlyliable to abuse,aud employ t those whi. li experience has shown to be safe. ea and coffee are useful stimulants. They are not deg,enerat ing.:.-Whatever use tobacco and wine arc alleged to haVe in repairing, ner vous wastes, tea and coffee will serve in a like inanneros-ithout the tiaapta,- lions to which excess go with these more violent drugs. 2. The habit. of using tobacco reads men to. vulgarity. Ido not by any means say that every user of tobacco is Vulgar, or that every . one who be takes himself to it. will, of necessity, beeinne'vulgar. But, as a - matter - of fact, users of tobacco grow indiffer ent to the feelings of otherskandha-- banally keep before the eyes IA their companions disgustful things, which trucirefinement would _hide or sup preSS. 'Even brute animals, moved by mere instinct, learn to hide the ex cretions .: of tlui body. The, much abused pig prefers cleanliness: Clive' him pure water and a clean bed, add be will keep himself clean. I But, whatever rare and polite ex . ccc o ptions there may be, it is 'undenia ble that the users of tobacco become indifferent to _others' feelings, and .shoel the tastes of men with scarcely the consciousness of offending. The chewer spirts his saliva as if he were 'a liquid artillery man.. The smoker carries in his hair, his raiment, and in his breath the fetid odor of tobac co. To some the fresh' smoke of good tobacco is not : disagreeable. ' Bid the residual smell which-lingers in the pipe, on the clothes, or on the' person,_ is disgustful to every one. - If one will use tObaceo; he should at least thereafter carefullypurge andpu 'rify hiriaself.
