By ^ mail wa have sundry rumors as to q tha cause of this sadden change of pro- h gramme, and the troth cannot be certeinly ascertained at the time we write. The ^ rumors generally agree, however, that wont | ^ was received at Harriabarg. that a plan j ^ had been laid to awosainste him, on his j ^ way to Baltimore, by throwing tho train ^ off the track, down some embankment, de- t alroying the lives of all on board ; and, in ^ casa they foiled, lo attack him. wh le in a . carriage passing from depot to depot in ^ Baltimore This intelligence is said to baVo been received by a telegram from Gen.

E. t'hurch " at this plucu observed Ike cwni.ig of the | "12d of Febrnrery," by C"lebrating the j " anniversary of the school, in n public 1 |j exhibition. The exercises consisted ot . addresses, recitations of dialogues und sin- j gle pieces, both in prose and verso, enter- j ^ spered with tinging; all performed by the school. The scricet commenced at 1 | o'clock and continued some two and a half ' ^ hours. The addresses, recitations and singing comprised quit# a variety of topics, j ^ suited to almost every taste, Some were I 1 peculiarly adapted to the Sabbath School, j I being of a rcluiout character ; while q-i.lql i proportion were of a patriotic nature, et pecully suited lu tho evening, so.iin of them refonnj to the name of llut greai and good inun, whose .memory every truly j American beat reveres, and others lo the 1 difficulties in which our country is involved, j while otners still were full of bujjr-ir and I good-cheer. The oxerisei were well per- ! formed, aod evinced that caru had been la j ifl_committin< and training We were | especially interested to see the perf-ci j •jood-will with which every part wo* per- j 'formed, n«ne of the scholars evincing the least reluctance. Among the patriotic pieces recited, there ; was 004 which drew our special attention. . and, we think, the attention of ihe whole I audience, being particularly sailed to the I present intabloas limes, it was entitled *"Ka!ph Farnham's Lost Dream;" and *a> I recited by a ynung lady, one of VLe scholars, in the character of the Goddess o' f Liberty. Her Jreit was of red, while and | blue ; the akirt being compose.! ol the two forra-r colors end the waist of .lie latter, with thirteen sparkling star* besludding it thy ensign of the original thirteen State* ; and har bead was encircled with a plain gilt crown, with the word ••Liberty" in scribed upon it. Ralph Farnbam. tho subject or this i piece, was a soldier in the Revolution, nnd | ' fought at tha Battle of Honker 1 1 ill. lie | j visted Boston in good health, but a fva | months ago, when the Prince of Wales «»« j visiting that city, nnd was introduced to Hi* Royal llighoes*. and entered into some interesting canreraation in reference to the above memorable bottle,, and other incidents of that war. He ha* sioco died, no [ the 2(lh of December last, at Ilia residence, at Alton, doine. in i he 105th year of his age. The piece is the supposed dream of this aged man. in view of the threatening storm which hangs over the country, for ^ whore liberlire he fought. . The sentiment , and language ere touching, end the pro iioancing, on this occasion, was in admiraI able keeping with the piece, during Whicb tha most profound silenca reigned. The entire exercise* were well perform • ed, and apparently well apreciated by n i crowded audience. Tho proceeds of the 1 evening, we are informed, amounted to 829. At tba close, the Superintendent ennouue- , ed that, in compliance with a written re. i quest which he hntd-in hit hand, the exer- ' cises wonld be repeated this (Thursday) ' evening, Febnury 28jh.
