ofa living Electric Eel, supposed to be the
first ever brought to the United States It
was conveyed thither by Capt, I.atimore,
from Surrinam; is about three feet in length
and resembles Lamprey Eel. 1t has but
one fin which runs nearly the whole length
of the body and serves for rudder. In or
der to try the effect of a shock on a fish, one
was put into the tub which contained the
Eel; on its coming in contact, it was thrown

fectly lfeless. The Editor of the Times,
while examining this singular animal, says
that he received three OF four severe shocks
on touching it.

advice and consent of the Senate, rati-

Fox nations; they holding it, however,
BY the same title, and in the same man
ner, that other Indian titles are held.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life, on Thursday, the
| 3th ult. at the residence of Mr.. John
Lewis, near Centreville, Va. SPENCER
CARTER, in the 18th year Of his age
In the death Of this interesting youth,
his parents and numerous circle of
acquaintances and friends, as well as
the society to which he belonged, have
sustained an irreparable loss. When
but eleven or twelve years old, he en-
braced the holy religion of Jesus Christ,
ever since which time, till the hour of
his dissolution, he proved to the entire
satisfaction of all who knew him, by
holy life and godly conversation, that
his was not mere profession, but that
he had indeed, "passed from death UNI
to life" On all suitable occasions, he
testified to the truth of the gospel; and
warned his dying fellow men, to fee
the wrath to come.
Prayer seemed to be all his business,
all his pleasure praise. And such pi-
Gus zeal did he continually display
when engaged in devotional exercises,
that his sincerity was never question
ed, even by the irreligious.
During an illness Of five long weeks,
the principal part of which time he
was unable to sit up, he was never
heard to murmur or complain; but on
the contrary bore his affection with
lamb-like patience and resignation
His affections appeared to be complete
ly detached from all earthly things, and
fixed on things eternal and divine. He
never expressed the least disposition to
recover, but seemed to be perfectly re-
signed to the will of his Heavenly Fa-
| Their.
A few minutes previous to his disso-
luton, his physician requested him not
to talk-with significant wave of his
hand, he exclaimed triumphantly, ~
have house above, a building of God,
not made with hands, eternal in the
Heavens"
He appeared to be ripe for glory,
and his immortal spirit, unwilling any
longer to occupy its "house of clay"
bursted the shackles of mortality, and
scared aloft to the bosom of its Maker
and its God.
Why should we mourn departing friends
Or shake at Deaths alarms
IT'S but the voice that JESUS sends
To call them to his arms.
Let me live the life of the righteous,
that my last end may be like his.
A FRIEND.
