We trust that when the attention of the College authorities has been once called to the fact that their rules are being violated, all cause for complaint in this quarter will be removed...
...avoid being intercepted by the 'Port peelers).Two lanterns, hung from the steeple of the North Church, in Boston, telegraphed news of their movement across the river. The sexton who lighted the lanterns was afterwards arrested by the British at a funeral, and, upon examination, condemned to death.
