The Englishman and the Skunk.

An English traveller, who has published an
interesting account OF his Excursion" in
the U. States, thus describes his rencontre
with Skunk which he met with in a wes-
tern prairie. These 6 beautiful little ami
malsn are not found in Europe, but are pc.
culiar to the American continent.
"About forty miles from Carmi, had
most curious adventure, and one that
caused me for some time afterwards a
great deal of vexatlon. While crossing
small prairie, observed coming to-
wards me, in the middle of the path, a
beautiful little animal, about two feet
long, of dark colour, with longitudinal
white stripes down its back, bushy tail,
and very snort legs. Intending TO catch
it, l Immediately galloped forward to
prevent its escape. To my astonish-
ment, however, it did not attempt to run
away but stopped in the middle of the
road, as if it had been tame. came
close up to it, so that my horses fore
feet almost touched ii, but still it did moi
offer to escape. | at first intended tc
dismount and catch it; but considering
that | could do nothing with it, and thai
perhaps it might bite me, determined
to leave it alone, and content myself
with admiring it.
" 1t would have been we'll for me i
| had done so but after having finished
looking at it, spirit Of mischief, q car
| attribute it to nothing else prompted
me to lean forward on my horse, ant
strike it over the back with small

the whip touched the animals back
when turning its posteriors toward me
and lifting up its.hind-leg, il discharged
a Stygian liquor, the odour of which
shall recollect till my dying day. In al
instant the whole prairie seemed to bt
filled with stencil, that is beyond al
description. 1t was so powerful, pun
gent, and sickening, that at first it near
ly made me faint, and galloped away
from the brute with all possible expedl
ton.
81 had previously supposed that
had, in the course of my life, snelt very
bad odours; but they were all perfumes
compared to this. No one who has no
experienced it can form any idea ofsuct
Ia horrible stencil. Most fortunately

| The trying day at last came. Mr.
Flint's family arose, after the sIeeples
night, and found the morning unusuall,
fine and pleasant. Toavoid being laugh
ed at, they sud very little of the ex
Pected disastee, and dinner came with.
out single sim of war in the elements.
The mother smiled at table perhaps the
first time for weeks; and they all now
began to entertain doubts of The veraci-
ty OF fortune ttlIers; but they dare not
express, OF hardly silently cherish that
the day would be sorrowlpss. The work
men had returned to the meadow, the
clock hadstruck three, and madam Flint
had become almost sociable; when the
unwelcome roll of thunder was heard
echoing over the distant hills; a few
dark clouds had united, and, by their
frowning and glowing, threatened ire
mendous shower. The father came in,
sat down, but said not word. Every
countenance was dark, as if it had be-
come mirror to the darkening Skies
Henry alone was undaunted. his coun-
tenance was like an angel, or any being
that fears not death. His sisters united
with their mother, and with all the en-
treaties they were capable of framing,
besought him to fly TO the castle for
safety. But he was now fixed in his res
olutlon not TO stir step.
The storm was now drawing near
very fast, the lightning became more
vivid every CLEAN, and the increasing
roar of thunder was mingled with the
rushing sound Of the rain in the distant
forest, when the amiable youth took his
Bible in his hand, and walked straight
into the open field. The distressed
souls in the cottage hardly knew where
they were, until the thunder came so
trequentlyand loud. they began to trem-
bic for their own safety. "Why did we
not go into the thunder house," said lit
tie Sophia, as pale as death &" the thun-
der will strike the house and, -
She did not finish her sentence, before
tremendous volley of thunder filled
the room apparently with liquid fire,
and seemed to sunder the very founda-
ton OF the earth by its report.
The storm had spent its force, and
the rain ceased almost instantly. The sun
broke out, and all nature, by her smiles.
seemed willing to atone for her recent
frowns, and the thunder died away like
an evening echo, through the surround
ing forest. The despairing group in the
house were riveted to their seat in sus-
pense Emo one daring to stir, for fear Of
being the first to behold the corpse of
the dear Henry. They sat fearfully
gazing at each other till Henry opened
the door, saying with smile, "Your
thunder-proof castle is fine defence /;
the Lightning has dashed it to atoms p
They all ran TO see, and it was so. Far
mer Flint turned on his heel and went
to his work. He was never known to say
word of it afterwards, unless first pro-
voked 10 it; and the whole family, Hen
ry excepted, although they were too
we'll bred to be angry, never heard with
satisfaction or complacency the name oil
the Thunder-Proof Castle"

Mr.. Chief Justice Marshall delivered the iudg-
ment of the Court, reversing the decree of the
Circuit Court. In this case, principle of
great Importance to the settlement OF the land
titles in Kentucky was determined. The dcci-
sion LAYS down the rule, that, in cases of adver-
sary title, such an adversary possession as would
bar an ejectment if the plaintiff possessed the
legal title, constitutes also a bar to title i'll
