He say - S: Perhaps the man of all Men who knows More than any about this sub ject, is the' venerable Prof. Packard, still liynig at the ripe old age of sev enty-seVen, in'a retired mansion just outside the college yard. He was the early tutor of Longfellow, thorne. i s ind Pierce.. lie has -been - a • professor at the college over half a century! . lie is now- the college li-- brarian. it was a beautiful afternoon as I walked up to the campus, and, passing into — the library, with its lofty roof and ci!ikeitgallery; found the old Professor an a corner nook reading a late review. He has a'personal greet ing ! fur; every one, and, personal knowledge of all save four whet have igraduate(L from Bowdoin, for over half a century. He went ;over the incidents , Of these tifts7,years or more, :seemingly ',as' if they were but the oc .euriences of yesterday. Of his old colaborersHot one is left behind. Packard became a tutor in the col -1(.0 in Longfellow, Hawthorne. • A bbott, tin -historian ; --Congressman Cilley, th.trge B. Cheerer, the cele brated divine, and author of "Deacon diles' Distillery," besides Fs .Senator J. W. Bradbury,-of Maine, and -sev eral otherldistinguished men, were graduateS in the .cla:44 of 1825. The distinguished Commodore Preble al- So had ;an- only son in this class as did old Jeremiah Mason, the fan/us laWyer New Hampshire. The son of the latter studied law, but diet! in early life. llt is said that the class, as whole. was very ambitiOns. Young Cilley, who was afterwaids shot by Braves, earnestly contended in his elass for the first position. But he fotneltno strong an opponent in Josiah S. Little. of Portland, who' was soineWhat older than the rest of the clasS. and who had been . finely fitted at I.;keter. And so'younir. eil ley. ,:ifter his first year. seemed to lose. his, ambition. and fell back. It was thotight Little would make his mark in world, but he came in possesSbni of a large property, and in additiOn iitarried a. rich wife, and so, never reached the goal of fame. At gradnation the three first parts, the orations, were awarded to Little, Bradbury. and Longfellow. It may seem str:tnge to sonic that of all the 711,'11 have gone out from Bow -I)(iin.-no One wholias ever graduated first in his class has achieved.a na tional reputation. The poet Long- fellow, 11(iiieve, has come the near est to it. lie was third in his class, While Hawthorne stood Ab bott. the hiStorian. 'about 20. Pierce about 22. ..and John A. Andrews came net at the iot. n his college Longfellow's parents resided in Port land. The young poet entered Bow doin one year in advance, as d,soph °More, at:theearly age of fifteen. In college, I 'am told, he had no exclu sivd associates. Ile Mingled and talked freely with all, and so came to, be universally regariled by the boys as a social amfgenial.fellow. In rec itations he .*s very 'prompt and at tentive. Ile-showed himself to be Very fine' recitation scholar. In the langnagcsliC was especially finished, :111(1 his themes alwaysbore the stamp of a classical, mind. .In mathematics . and metaphYsics, however, he was not parcieularly distinguished, tho' he acquitte(l himself . While in college he wrote a great deal of poetry, , among which is one poem now in print, much admired. Pro fessor Packard while in Boston once called upon IJames G.- Carter, then the editor 'oflthe Literary Review Of Boston. " What is that young fellow down there,"! says Mr. Carter, -" Who writes such good poetry ?"- It seems that young Longfellow was a - boo stint p(ietical contributor to:thisße y frit• while in- college. .Thern is n• very old desk now in . colic* "Which is said to bade been a part of the col lege furnitnre of the poet..l am told that while iii college he read nearly all the distinguished British poets, and showed himself very fond of the old essayistS of history and bio -Craphy. While in college lie also de livered before the students a ,very tine prodnetiOn on "King Philip and Miles Standiell," and at graduation .the subject: of his oration was " The Life and Wfiting.s of Chatterton." But he was= then,- as now, very much averse to pubic speaking. It will.be half a century next July ,Since he graduated. His class will hold a re union at that time, and Longfellow will deliver a !poem. HawthOrn4 parents ;lived in the old-town of !Salem, Mass. YoUng Nathaniel entered Boidoin at the age of seventeen...

Hawthorne,;on the other hand, was sensitive, shy., re served, quiet l ind meditative, and he often preferred to be by himself. Says one of his old classmates to the writer: " I think he was - the mot peculiar young man in his tastesl ever met. One peculiarity of his col lege days I remember very well. On leaving the recitation-room, instead of keeping with the rest of the clais as they stopped to laugh and ,chat, Ile would immediately drop Off; either by himself or in company with one of his peculiar associates. I remem ber it was often his delightto wander awdy alone down among the 4)ines. Here in sonic noiseless retreat he 'would remain for hours studying ansi amusing by himself. lk seemed to have a dread of contact with his fel ! low-students, and exhibited tenden cies to solitude. But few of hitf.telasi mates ever came to know hint In college be had but 'three asso; dates. With these he" wasvery inti mate. One was ' Franklin Pierce-, Pierce afterward became PreSident of the United States, and Hawthorne his biographer. I remember,''' con 4 tinned my informant, "seeing, thera often together in college days, and I know the friendship which they then funned for each other lasted through life. Hawthorne's two other !asso.i• elates in college were Hbratio Bridge now, at the head of the Bureau of Clothing in the Naval Departinefit,' and tleorue S. Sawyer, now Chief Justice of South Carolina." In rec;! itations . Hawthorne was not remark.' able for Accuracy. In fact; 1W was, very often 'deficient. Matheraaties he disliked very numb. • He 'excielled only' in one branch—that of a writer. Professor Newman often spoke of his translations as showing a high order of taste, while' his, English coniposi tions-wemalWays excellent. He, was, indeed, [Over of literature, and pre ferred nailer to give'vent to his nat ural genius than to allow himself to be cramped and moulded into the mere, memorizing machine of the class-room. Bid to complete the sto ry, some one has said that Hawthorne was blessed witlfit noble wife,. Whom if he had never loved he would in all probability have".died undeveloped and unknown. Both are now dead. Hawthorne sleeps on a pleasantihill slope,near' Concord. His, ideal 'wife rests in ,an old church-yard in ton don. In Ilettivii, let . us trust, their souls are again united. When Franklin Pierce • entered itowdoin College , in 1820. he wassix: teen Years-mf age. Four years later he graduated, and bade his friend I;ittliorne, who was •to retuatif l ' an other year, good-bye. Pierce, told, did not do much during his first . 'two years in•eolleire. lie seemed to look,upon the labors of a Greek or Latin lexicon as a kind of an nnso cial and unprofitable. drudgery. lAt the end of his second year, however, he suddedly changed his course. Pro fessor Packard sags young Pierce af terwards told him how it came about. One _day as he lay on his bed the thought of ,his whole past course, with a remark on the subject dropped by one of his cliss-mates, suddenly daybed upon him. lie resolvedlO do better. And-he did. Profeisor Pack ard says he afterwards . heard-Pierte recite in Locke at his junior exami nation, and'it: was one of the best rec itatons of the class. lam told, also, that he was a very earnest student in logic and political economy, and while in college gave much .title to the speeches and works of the.,best BritiSh statesmen. his themes were also noted - for their finish, inul achieved not. a little reputation in college as a debater. .Even then he was an ardent politician, and, says my informant, " I have seen yoting Pierce often laying down the case be fore a knot l of politicians at the 'lll- la , ge post office." A yonng man of fine looks, pleasing address, and by instinct a gentleman, lie was one of _the most popular men at college---in fact. a general favorite with nil. Wliile in college he taught school one winter in the riiratdiitriet4, of Maine, and found much favor also in the eves of all the country girls. " Speakhvg of debating," says my informant - , - " - I rememlkr one evening as 1 passetrthrough the College hall to my room, I heard some one speak ing in an - earpest tone. The door of the librigy.was. open. The members of one of the college societies 'were engaged in debate. The question was a political , one. I paused and lis- tened to this voice. The longer I re mained the more seemed ihstened to the place. At the close I decl#ed I had never listened ton inure plausi ble or ingenious argumeht. The young man who made it was Frank lin Pierce." The --great Senator Fessenden, the peer of Sumner, was also a graduate of ROwdoin. He ,was a black-eyed young boy when he entered college, though it is said he proved hiMself a goal 'scholar and a young man of ex cellent habits. Yet the professors found in him evidences of the same sterling independence which he ex-, hibitd in later life. In his college days, as now, the'boys went, under the name of " yaggers,7 a title given to them byAlle students'. ~,Not unfre quently the bitter foes; ihtryaggers and students, met each tither in bat tle: It Was not safe for a student to be out at night alone. One evening .it was suddenly announced that a crowd of "yaggers," , had seized student, and :were severely beating him down in the pines. The military company of students was suddenly called out ,atid hastened to the scene.. Young Fessenden led the troops.. No. sooner had he reached the field when President Allen appeared, all .ablaze with excitement. Says President Al len : " Fessenden, I order you to your room. Go at once or you will suffer punishment." Fessenden in stantly replied i "I should' - glory be punished in such a cause," and in the same breath ordered his young soldiers on. The story -goes that there Was some difficulty between Fessenden and the faculty - about , the time of his graduation, .on account of which Fessenden's diploma was with held. Inlater years, after the great man gOt into Congress, the . collegt faculty, it is said, offered to forward his diploma to him, to which he r plied that " he had got along withont it thus fin-, andhe thought he eouldthe rest of the iray." However this mar ' J ■ TOIYANDA BRADFORD COUNTY, PA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 15, 1875. • be t it is a well known faet . that in his later years at' least he `was a very . firm friend of the college and not un frequently came . back to visit tl 4 e see es of his youth. • • (For th e nertmerzit,ll OLD NEWS—NO. 11.

De la' Bastie, by which he has succeeded in mak ing glass hard and tough, has been eXperime ted upon in New York for two mon hs by Prof. Egleston, of the school of mines, of Columbia col lege, andi on last Thursday, , in the COoperinstitute, an exhibition of the glass Iwas given before a number of the -glass dealers of New York, and some members_, of the? , press: Messrs. Patule and De la Chapelle, 1 . agents of M. De la , -Bastie, were also present. The tests to which the ghiss wee subjected were so con vincing that the New York World branches out with a' column , ot edito rial exultation oil.: the results, from, which we make tholdlOwing extract: I - < ! , P - 1 1 , ~ . i. - , .\ . 1 1 • ' ' ' .. 1 f , - f,,;.i - , • J -: - t- , '7 :- .7 , , t - -: - ' .. , - *.''.. i • ~• ' - ' i - : ..f )' ~' ' , . . . .

De In Bastie cannot be broken 'excepting under jvery different cOn ditious froin ordinary. glass and by the. applicatiou lof much greater force, but s also that it possesses the peculiar Property . ; when it does break of breaking "allnp," like a mass Hof sand, so , that it no longer splinters, and disseMinates the peril of look jaw all about tholspot where it falls. We are sure that no intelligent per son *ho witnessed Prof.' Egleston's experiments can 'have come away without feeling that M. Dc la Bastie has really begun,if he has not brought nbOut, a revolution in one of the most important of, our manufactures., There was a time . when it would have been thought merely insane to. talk of building paper boats or paper coaches. Thanks to M. Dc la Bastie the legend of Cinderella and her glass slipper is in a fair way of becoMing 'commonplace fact. Some 30 years ago .a French manufacturer electrifi ed-the world of fanhion by weaving wonderful stuffs for curtains and dra pery, robes, cravats mid Waistcoats out of threads of spun glass. We May look forward now to seeing glass chimney-baCks and mantles ; glaSs dinner tables and / boot-jacks,' and even, as Professor Egleston suggeS ted, the luxury of living in glais houses ourselves, ' without thereby being deprived of the pleasure of throwing stones at our 'neighbors. Everybod reinembers the story Of the distimMished hypoehondrMe whO was made•• miserable by the convic don that the lower part of his : bodY had been' mysteriously converted into glass, so that it could neither walk about nor sit down with,conti dence and decision, but' was compel!. ,ed to handle himself as gingerly as a brisket of new laid eggs. The altitude of the Stevens Mine io n Mount McClellan is 12,500. At t he depth of from 60 to 200 feet the 'crevice matter, consisting of silica; Calcate•and ore, together with the surroundnor•wall rock, is a solid frozen mass. McClellan' is one of the - highest eastern spurs of the snowy range ; it has the form of a horse ,Shoe, with a hold escarpment of felts ithatic rock nearly 2,900. feet high, 7hich in sonic places is nearly per pendicular. Nothing unusual occur red until a distance of some 80 or 90 feet had been made ; then the frozen erritory was reached, and it has ontinued for over 21)0 feet. There are no indicritions of a thaw summer Or winter. The whole frozen terri tory is surrounded by hard, massive rock, and.the lode itself is as hard and massive as the rock. The miners, being, unable to exea -ate the frozen material with a Pick r drill, found that the only way was i o kindle a large wood lire at night oainst the backend of the tunn e l, b. and in the morning take out the -dis eff mtrated ore. This has been the 15 mode of mining for more than -two years. The tunnel is over 290 feet deep, and there is no diminution of the frost:- There is, so far as can be een, no opening or channel through Which the frost could possibly have reached such a depth from the surface. There are other mines in the same vaeinity in a like frozen state. The theory is, that the rock was laid down in glacial times, Whenithere was cold enough to freeze the very earth's beart. In that ease the mine is an iea-house, whose stores have remain ed unthawed for at least 80,000 years ! The phenomenon is snot , uncommon Or inexplicable when openings can lie found throughAybich a current of Or can pass ; but *i cases which, like the Brandon frozen well and the Ste 1-ens mine, show no way for, idr cur r nts, are still referred to imbedded i .ebergs and the :glacinl 1 period .----- /nn the 21'etc$, alma.

The parents looked , like beasts--the child wore ,the sweetest, tenderest smild'on its white face that any - Of them ever saw: It had been ; ailing for days, and its brief life had been-full of bit ter woe, but yet the women cried -as, : they bent over the old cradle and kiSsed its Cold cheeks ; and felt of its icy, hands. ; • = • .? • • Father .and mother • lay, down- at dark the evening before, and people passing' by heard the 'Child - crying and wailing. It was too weak. t;e crawl .out of the cradle, and its voice • was not strong enough to break the! chains of drunken . stuper. When the sari went .doiVn and the evening shadovrs danced across the floor and seemed to grasp et him, the boy grew afraid and cried out. The shadows came faster, and as they raced 'round the room, and: scowled darkly at the lone child he 'nestled. down and drew the ragged_ blanket over his head to 'keep the vengeful shadows from seiz ing him. .11e- must have thought his parents dead, and how' still the house seemed to him. " It's -dark, mother—it's dark 1" the neighbors heard him wail ; but no one went in to comfort him and drive the shadows away., ' The night grew older—the feet of pedestrians ceased to . ceho, and the heavy breath- . ing of the drunkards made the child ; tremble and draw the blankets Still, closer. His little bare ". feet were up, and' he shut his - eyes.tight. ly ; •to keep from seeing the black ; darkness. Bye-and-bye the ragged blanket was gently palled away, ainl.tlm child opened his eyes and saw a great light in the room. . "Is it Morning? " he whispered.; but the drunkards on the floor slept on. Sweet, tender music came to' the child's ears, and the light had driven every shadow away. He was no lon ger.,afraid. The aches and pains - he had suffered for days past ivent . away all at once. " "Mother! mother! hear the music!" he cried, and from out of the : soft, white light came an angel. "I am thy mother !" she 'softly said. lle was not afraid.

Ile held up his arms and laughed for jo3'. • " Heaven .wants you!" the angel whispered. "Earth liasno more sor row—no further misery.' Come!" And he floated away- with them, leaving the sleepers lying as if ,dead. The golden light faded out, the music died away, and the old house was again filled with the grim, threaten ing shadows, which sat around the sleepers and touched their bloated faces with their gaunt skeleton fin gers, and laughedhorribly•when. the drunkards groaned in uneasy slumber. When people came in shadows went out. The -sleepers still. slept their sodden' sleep, and no one mind ed them.

A bright little girl was playing croquet, and knocking her ball with the intention of placing it in position so that she could pass through the wicket when her time to play should come again, was somewhat displeased to see it roll too far, so that she *as still out of position. Without utter ing a word.of coMplaint, she walked quietly to the ball, and with her foot rolled it to the place where she had en deavored to have it stop. AnOther in the game kindly reproved her; told her that it wai.wrong, and that if she learned to do things which were wrong in small things, like a game, of pleasure, she would be more likely to do so in large,things when .she should be throwri . into the great Struggles' of life. To this she read ily responded, Why I saw grand ma place . her ball before the wicket the same Way awhile ago." And no argument could Convince her but that it was right,to thus take advan tage of sher playmates,- because she " saw her grandma do the same thing." Thus an innocentlittle girl chanced to be the observer of an act by one to whom she looked for an example, and thus a little mind was poisioned which was perhaps as pre as the reesh-fallen stiow.
