learn tibet Capt. John Willard was very severe

from destruction.
CoNGREss.-No business of public impor-
lance has been acted upon since our last, ex-
cept the passage of the annual appropriation
act and the farther discussion of the Tariff
Bill, which was undecided on the 18th inst.
Isaw in the Spy of the Sd inst. republished
from Carolina Paper, an account of a doub-
lie egg with query whether such phenom-
enon had ever before been discovered. A few
years ago Charles Mirick Esq. of Princeton,
in this County, brought me the shell of an I'M
| commonly large hens egg with apparently
perfect one of much smaller size. He stat
ed that his wife, in breaking an egg into
some flour, for family use, discovered the
| small egg drop from the shell above mention
ed, which she separated from the -four and
preserved with its external covering. With
view of deposting this extraordinary product
of nature in the cabinet Of the Linnean Soci-
ETY. at Boston, replaced the small egg in its
outer shell with due covering of wool. In
| descending hill, on my journey, my floating
baggage was precipitated from the chaise by
somerset of my horse and | was consoled
| for the loss Of the egg in the grateful consid-
| GRAFTON that my bones were not also broken.

ERROR CORRECTED.-Thew writer Of the
notice of an ordination at Fitchburg, on the
9TH Feb. which appeared in the Spy of the

stating that Rev. R. A. Putnam was ordained

gregational Society in that place. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr. Putnam was ordained over
the Calvinistc Society recently formed at
