The Vermont Pilgrims. -The article
which follows is from the pen of friend,
on whose information we can rely. We
have seen All article extracted from a Car

OF the Pilgrims who, some time ago, at
Itracted SO much OF the public alteniion.
That account informs us OF their arrival
at misunderstanding thence in a boat
landing on an island somewhere III the
Ohio river-the desertion of their chief
or prophet, and the consequent distress OF
bis followers. But the person who gave
this Information was undoubtedly misin
formed himself.

OF 1916 it was announced 10 the Eastern

DESPERATE COMBAT WITH A BEAR.
A person who superintends Mr. Goston's
plantation, near Newbern, was standing in
the mill, and discovered large Bear on the
edge of the swamp. about fifty yards dis
tant. He discharged his gun, loaded with
buck shot, and believed he had wounded
the animal so Much that he might safely APP
proach him, which he no sooner attempted.
than the Bear advanced on him. The Ne
groes, who were at some distance, halloed
to the Overseer, and told him 10 run but,
believing that he could defend himself .with
his gun dubbed, he held it in that position,
and retreated with his face to his adversary,
intending to watch the moment of his APP
preach, TO give him the coup de grace. Just
as he was about TO do this his foot slipped,
and be fell on his back, and in an instant,
The enraged animal sprung upon him, and
tore him in a dreadful manner. Several
persons who were in the mill ran TO the aid
of the Overseer, some with guns, others
with clubs, but they were unable to dis
engage the deadly grippe of the Bear, until
one with an exc broke his jaw. The Over
seer was brought over 10 New bern, and for
two days his life was despaired of: we have
not since heard what is his situation.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE

E
A black woman, belonging to Mr.. Ken.
uard, who lives about mile from this town,
on one day last week, was discovered by one
of the family, lying on the ground at some
distance from the house, apparently lfeless;
but on close examination her pulse appeared
regular, and she drew her breath as one in a
sound sleep. In this dormant state she lay
about Cd hours; during which time the tears
would frequently roll down her cheeks in
copious showers; and at times her counte-
nance would express symptoms of horror,
and then brighten up with smile of joy
On arousing from this cold and motionless
state, she is said TO have uttered desperate
shrek. The physician who was called TO
examine her, we understand, pronounced her
health to be good-without pretending to as
sign any cause TOR her situation, 1t is the
general belief, however, that she has been in
a trance; and The novelty of the circumstance
has excited much curiosity, and affords to-
pic for conversation with many in this neigh
borhoOd.

London, April 10.
French papers of Friday arrived al late
hour last night. Count Montijo has been
nominated Governor General Of Old Castle,
in the room Of Lieutenant General Charles
O'Donnel. The second in command APP
pointed under him in the province is Juan
Martin Diez, the Empecinado, SO celebrated
in Guerilla warfare. On the 25th Of March,
the chapter Of the Metropolitan church OF
Toledo took the oath to the Constitution
After this ceremony, the chapter, accompa-
MED byall the secular and regular clergy OF
the city, repaired 10 the cathedral. where
re Deum was chanted with the greatest So
lemnity. This, we believe, is among the
first instances of any great portion of the
clergy assembling to celebrate the re-estab-
lishment of the constitution. and to swear
feaIty to a constitutional King.
A letter from Liverpool, dated April 18th,
1890, states, that from Jan. lst, 1920, to the
18th OF April following, there had arrived at
Liverpool, from the United States of Up
land cotton, $4,000: Orleans and Tennes-
see, 1926 Sea-lslands, 5000; total 3d.
595 bags. The sales during the same pc
Rod have been of UpIands, 1882; Orleans
and Tennessee, II, o6o: Sea-Islands. 3,945;
total 63,397 bags.
The import of UpIands to that port, has
never exceeded $4,000 bags in any one
year.
The London Traveller of the 18th April,
anticipates the condition that would be re-
CURED by Don Wives, previous to the ratif-
cation of the Florida treaty, viz: a stipula-
ton on the part OF the American government,
that it should not acknowledge the indepen-
dence of the Spanish colonies. Gen. Wives
must have had other conversations on his
journey upon this subject, than that with Mr..
Gallatin and the French minister.
The ship Elizabeth, Captain Sebor, which
carried out the people of color, arrived at

We learn from a correct source that
a rupture is about tn break out between
the Cherokee and Usage Indians--tle
latter having killed three hunters Of
the former, and some others were mis-.
sing, who are also supposed to be muir
dcred. The Cherukecs we're preparing
20 take vengeance on the Osages for
this act; but Major Lewis, q. S. Indian
agent, prevailed upon them to wait uu-
til he should have seen Governor Mil
Ter. and would endeavor to obtain thro'
him ample redress from the Osages.
On his way down to this place, for that
purpose, he met our Governor, who
was Oh IA visit at the Cadron. The
go,ernor will meet and hold a council
with the CherOkees on the Goth Of a.
pril next.
1t is to be hoped that by the friendly
intcrposition OF the governor, the effu-
sion of blood may be slapped, peace
be restored, and all the differences be-
tween the two nations amicabiy settled.
