From a Harrifourg (Pennf.) paper.
A singular non defcript animal, has,
since a few weeks, several times made
its appearance near Northumberland
town, in this state, which has been the
fubjeß of much speculative enquiry in
these parts. The extraordinary form
ation of this wonderful creature, as rep
resented by a number of refpe&able
inhabitants of that place, who have
seen it, is certainly astonishing to eve
ry one, particularly to those acquaint
ed with natural hiftory, and furnifhes
the mind with a variety of conje&ures,
some of which perhaps not very favor
able to the human (pecies. This ani
mal is said to be about 5 feet in height,
and moves ereß; it has a more per
fed human face than any other animal,
of the brute creation, hitherto spoken
of. The head is crowned with hair,
which falls regular over the forehead,
near to the eyebrows ; its neck and
breast are bare, but downwards is cov
ered entirely with hair of a-reddish
cast. Its arms and hands appear per
fe&, like those of a man, excepting the
nails, which are similar to the claws of
beasts; but the feet appear perfect It
has a very long tail, which it winds
round its body when running. An at
tempt was made to catch it,a short time
since, by three gentlemen on horse
back, one of whom was near enough
to strike it with the lash of his whip, but
taking down a steep bill, the gentle
men were obliged to dismount to pur
sue it, when it made its escape. We
hear that 1000 dollars is offered for
this animal alive. >,
A Newyork Anecdote —Good one.
EPERI body has heard that the Scale of Nel,orb
is republicadiftd, ar in other words, that it has now
an Old Republican Whig (Giorgi Clinton)
Governor, and a Republican Council of Appointment.
As might rationally be sxpeaed, tbe Council has not

too) the federalfo give ns the following anecdote of
one of the newl, made Jufites :

OUR written Constitution is a mighty
obftacl^to the designs of the federal
part of our citizens. It is a standard
round which our republicans rally
with cheerfulnefs, and by which we
test the rheafures of the government.
Without it, we should be as much be
wildered as a mariner upon the ocean
without a compass. We might, in a
national view, though not abßzadly
considered, be all right, or all wrong,
as fickle opinion would pronounce,
without having a finole principle re
cognized.^—Englana is an example
of this political confufion, arising from
a want of a fundamental code. The
people may feel oppression, inasmuch
as they are sensitive Beings. But no
man can determine, though he may
know it is unjust, whether the a& by
which he is oppressed be constitutional,
since there is no constitution by which
to test it. Hence we may account for
the long period that political tyranny
and imposition have prevailed in that
country ; and hence the probability
of its continuance until the patience
of the people shall be exhausted by
impofture/and their burthens become
absolutely infopportable. When this
period arrives, and not, we think, until
then, the tyrants and the tyranny will
be trodden into the dust.
But with us the case is widely differ
ent. We have'a constitution in which
our rights are written,and by adverting
to which we can know them. Do we
want to know whether our represents
attves have executed with fidelity the
trust reposed in their hands by the
people ? Compare their a&ions with
the constitution, and if not, remove
them at the next periodical ele&ion.
For we perform only one part of our
duty to ourselves, our country, and our
posterity, if, when we know (and he
knowledge is within our reach) the
constitution has been violated, we do
not remove from office thole who have
been guilty of the infringement. With
us therefore, who are blessed with a
written constitution, it is so easy a mat
ter to preserve freedom, that while the
people are alive to their rights, and va
lue their liberty, tyranny shall never
pollute the land, nor disfigure the fair#
est part of God's creation. .
