ECCESTRIClTY

shall esteem il particular favor if you
will insert in your paper these few particu-
lars concerning the late Mr.. Calle. This ce-
lebrated gentleman, in early youth, show ed
few signs of bis great abilities he was even
so remarkably unpromising, that be was con-
sidercd inca able of succeeding to small in
dependence left him by his uncle. His rela-
tives had the cause tried at York, in 1850,
and many supposed that he would be decla-
red an idiot Among various questions Ito
prove whether he had sense or not) he was
asked in court, how many legs sheep had.
Do you mean, he replied, live one or a
dead one d? live one has four, dead one
only two-the other become the shoulders
By this uncommon display Of great capaci-
ty, he was ranked by the vulgar as one of
those characters who haze sense but seldom
show il and be was suffered to succeed TO
his estate without any further molesta-
ton. He DOW became poet, philosopher,
and an antiquary. He celebrated in verse a
certain liquor drank freely by the ladies Of
fashion in York /; and, though they modest
ly call il vapor water, he proved il TO be
pure French brandy. He declared perpetu-
al motion consisted in bis w;ie's tongue and
on account of his veneration for antiquities,
the color of his ine1pressbles was green, in
ttrict imitation of Adam.
He was nearly hung thrice first, for shoot
ing at a chimney whom be m istook
for the devil; secondly, for stealing haltar
with something alive at the end Of it, and,
thirdly, by having suspended himself, in or
der TO write more perfect description Of
death. He kept raven in large iron cage,
in order 10 ascertain whether or not i. would
live 700 years. He only once in his life vi
sited the theatre. He was delighted with the
music at the beginning, and, observing two
actors come forth, Gin the first scene who
spoke in rather low tone, he deliberately
left the place, observing, that perhaps those
gentlemen might wish to talk secrets. Tho
be was extremely singular in his dress, not
withstanding the impulse OF fashion, or the
earnest en;reaties of his friends, he never
could be prevailed upon to wear tail. He
proved, beyond all doubt, that man never at.
tempted to sing until he heard the nighting-
gale He followed the Greenlanders to scalp
the bear, and wear its shaggy hcnurs he
suffered the Caimuc Tartar to dress in sheep
| skin, and the Ostiacks to decorate their
heads with horns but be could not contain
bis Indignation when he thought that the En-
ropeans, civilized people. should borrow
fashions from animals, and particularly that

gar, the most ridiculous, and the most dis.

At The election fthe Fire Insurance Com

B. NickoLs was appointed Secretary, and

eur paper Of yesterday
In publishing the names of Directors of the
Columbian Insurance Office, yesterday, the
name of JAMES SANDEKsoN was accidental
ly omitted-it should have appeared first on
the list.
II is well known that during the past sum-
mer, numerous mechanics have arrived in
the District, from the Eastern States. The
public buildings at Warrington, and the re-
ports of the increasing prosperity of the
neighboring towns, have allured the enter
prising from their homes, only TO meet with
disappointment. We have always thought
that the spirit of emigration has been carried
too far and that, in the main, those who
stay at home do much better than their It'll
nerant neighbors. The following article from
the Newburyport Herald, is in support OF
our opinion and we are told that there are
many carpenters from that town now in this
place.
"The pressure ofthe times past has driven
from our town larger proportion of mocha
MICS than perhaps aoy other class of citizens ;
the return Of some Of them, particularly car
penters, we should think would prove ad-
vsntageous to their interests at this time,
