French Tricks.--Arguclles and
Galiano, the two leaders ofthe Cores
at Seville, mention, in their speeches
near the close of May, that the French
commanders in Spain, cause bodies
OF Spanish Royalists TO precede in
their approaches, who, committing
gross excuses, may give to the French
when they arrive, the character of de.
llverers, in the eyes of the Suffering
people. .

LEXINGTON, KY July II.
A TIGER In KENTUCKY.

We learn from Russellyille that gen.
tleman discovered an animal of alarming
appearance, few miles from town,
and fastened to the nearest house where
he was joined by three men, two of
whom were armed with guns, and atten-
ded by dog. The strange monster was
again discovered, and while bayed by the
dog, the Two guns continued to fire on
him at the distance of about fifty yards
without forcing him to move from his
stand furious loo and appealing
brow frightened the two men without
guns who fled to town. Experienced
marksmen, continued to fire, and on the
18th shot, the beast put off at full speed,
marking his way by blood flowing from
many wounds that ii must have received.
The dog was too much frightened to
continue the pursuit, and the huntsmen
dare not venture, although one of them
was as fearless, as Boone himself, and
accustomed to the chaise from early
life.
When the news reached Russellville
about forty gentlemen repaired to the
spot, and had full view of the ground.
The print which the paws of this animal
made in the earth, corresponds with the
account given of his great bulk by those
who had an opportunity of viewing him
at short distance for several minutes;
be was Of brindle colour with most
terrific frcnt--his eyes are described as
the largest ever seenin any animal We
are well acquainted with the party enga-
ged, in the attack, and give the fullest
Icredit to the account we have received
The conclusion drawn, is that the an
imal in question was a tiger of the lar
gest order from Mexico, and that it has
like the monsters Of the deep, thought
proper to wander into distant regions.
There is nothing remarkable in his pas
sing such a distance unobseyed.-
Wolves have been seen oflate years low
down in the northern necks of Virginia,
distance of nearly 200 miles from the
Blue Ridge, the supposed residence of
those animals; they had to pass through
country of the thickest population,
unprotected by large forests, until they
arrived ON the Potomac river, where ce-
dar and pine thickets shelter them from
all future danger
The above tiger was seen a few days
after, Drawing dozen shots, making its
way into the state of Tennessee, and
there is still prospect ofits being taken
and the public gratiiied with more cor
rect description.-Gas.
The Cape Fear Recorder expresses
no doubt but that the soil and climate of
North Carolina are peculiar and con-
genial to the culture of tea-and adds,
''indeed, we have heard some years "a
go that there were successive patches
growing in this country, from year to
year, originating, as it was said, from
seeds found among some Bohea Tea
but the statement, though made on good
authority, attracted but little notice, as
it was very naturally supposed the cir
cumstance would engage the attention
of our agriculturists, if there should be
any prospect of ultimate Advantage
Our surprize is not so much excited at
the present development, as that it was

THE AFFLICTED WIFE.
The path, along which we LIES journey 60,

One that will shake it, till We all drop through.
Twas necessary that poor honest Hodge,
Early one summers morn, to mill should trudge s.

Borrow d a bag-because he'd none himself.
Hodge had 10 cross a river In his way,
Ger which a temporary bridge there layi

Just as the grim OLD tyrart shook his riddle,
And let him through he roard, ard TOard again
The neighbors TO help-but help vain;
For man, and bag and corn, and all they found
Were at the bottom-and poor Hodge droIrn'd
Now, as il always happens in such cases,

This IS, says one, a serious affair;
1t shows mortals what frail things we are;
For we, like this our much lameuled friend,
Quite Unexpectedly may meet end
Twas then concluded they some one would choose,
To carry to his wife the woiul news.
Pensive, our messenger takes his way;
Studous Of how and what he ought to say,
TO soften sorrow, blunt the edge Of grief;
Ere he intllcts the PAIN provide relief
Arriv'd at length; with great precauton, he
Uniolds the sad, the dire catastrophe;
Which, when matron heard, with rueful phiz,
She cries alas, how sad a case this Isl
