In our Calcutta files received by the
George VIC find an account OF meeting OF
the .4siatic Sotistu on the fifth Of January
Among other donations, the skin, cxtremi-
ties, and parts cf the head and neck of a large
Onrang Cutang, killed on the Coast of SUI
uu.ra, were presented 10 the Society by a
Captain Cornfoct. According to the account
given below, which WAS read at the meeting,
this animal must have been uf very uncom-
mon size and strength. None OF the speci-
mems which have been exhibited in Europe
haze ever exceeded tarce feet III Height, and
their principal characteristic has been a mild
imitation cs the domestic habits OF man, but
this one is said to have been nearly eight feet
high, ard very ferocious: Salem Gazette.
1t appears, that an Othcer Of the Ship
.TnrY Inn Sohhia, was on shore at place
called Ramboom, near rcuromon, on the
West Coast of oumatia, where he discover
cd the animal in tree. He assembled his
people and followed him to a tree in cul-
tvated spot on which he took refuge. His
walk was erect and waddling, but not quick,
and he was obliged occasionally to acccler-
ate his motion with his hands. but with the
bough of tree he tmpelled himself forward
With greater rapidity, When he reached
the trees his strength was shone IN hiSh
degree, for with one spring he gained very

rough, and emisrated, after the, death OF
Queen Anne, to America. In all these in
stances, the individu Als have,been accustom-
ed to the practice of abstcmiousness; as much,
perhaps, from necessity, as inclination; but
the fact itself, whatever the cause or motive,
leads to the inference, that the paucity of
these instances of longevity, IN bur country,
is to be attributed to an injurious indulgence
of the animal appetite. Life requires but
little to sustain it; and the more simple and
limited our diet, the less are the digestive
functions oppressed and weakened, and the
greater the activity of the bodily and mental
powers. Guttony brings in its train drow-
siness, dyspepsia, apoplexy. Temperance
is the .rcnt of agility of body, elasticity of
nerve, and clearness ofperception. If there
be in our earthly composition any spark Of
the fire of genius, Incorporate eating and
drinking will unquestionabiy stiiie and eN-
tinguish it; while, on the contrary, temper
ance will cherish and extend it.

SALEM, IN. u April 13.

A. curious incident occurred in this town
last week: A lady's neck handkerchief, with
rufflc finely embroidered, lying on bureau
in chamber at the Misses Hancock's,
was raised in their presence by light breeze
scarcely perccptible, ana passing out at the
window, rose in a circuitous manner, some
thing in appearance like kite, to a great
height, and then descended within thirty or
forty rods from whence it started nearly to
the ground. II then rose again, and in a
few minutes passed out Of sight. demonstra-
ting to its fair owner, that, II vail is" not
vanity" what is lighter than air must be
1t may not be amiss to caution the ladies not
to let their dresses become so light as that a
gust of wind may take the whole away, and
themselves too.

PIRATES CAPTURED

Capt. Waters, of the scnoonerIago, arri-
we'd at Baltimore on Monday last, from rsrto
Rico, spoke in the Gulf Stream, brig, the
captain of which informed that a piratical
sloop manned with thirty eight men, had
been captured by an English cutter and a
steam boat fitted out for the purpose at Ma
tanzas, and carried into the latterport The
pirates Who survived the action were sent to
HAVANA for trial. 1t was ascertaincd that

Michael Kimmel, youth, was suffocated
in the well of Frederic Begal, Waynes-

of his death ought to impress upon our

have not been used for some time previ-

A very unf0rtdnatc accident occurred in
this city Yesterday, As TIC Mail Stage from
3 ltim6re was about to descend the Capitol
Hill. the horses took fright at something or
other, and, the driver being unable to hold
them ia, they dashed down the road towards
the avenue, but were going too rapidly to be
turned into it. They ran across towards
Maryland Avenue, where the stage ran off
the road, upset, and was smashed literally to
atoms. 1levc were, we believe, six passcn-
gers besides the driver, most Of whom were
more or less injured, but some of them sew
ercly. The driver, Mr.. Bell, very wor-
thy man, is Supposed to have been most
hurt, having one Gf his arms broken, and
one OF his thighs fractured, besides other in-
jni'es. Hr. Halfway, Of Vermont, an c.-
tire stranger here, had his arm broken, and
was otherwise hurt. Mir Il. O. 1yler, of
this city, (who had the bad luck to have got
out at the door of lis own dwelling, but af-
towards remonnted to 90 down to his Of
flee was also mncf injured. The Messcn-
ger who has arrived from Colombia, with
the ratification by that Government of the
Treaty with the Uni,ed States, was also in
the stage, and slightly hurt. 1t is hoped
that none ofthe lives o. the hurt persons are
in danger.
Oftwo persons who escaped unhurt, one
hadbeen pursued by the other on ii charge
ofthcft, and when the accident happened,
was arrested and carried before nagis-
trate. by whom, we understand, he was com
mited to prison. National Iatellgener.

Susficiaus Circnmstance.-Last week, a
man, intliiferently- dressed, called at the
house Of a respectable farmer, few miles
from Doylestown, and it being near noon,
asked to be accommodated with dinner. 1t
was accordingly prepared by the females of
the house, and just as the stranger sat down,
the farmer himself came in. He took up a
number Of the Patriot which contained the
account of the murder Of Miss Cunningham
and description Of the murderer, and com
menccd reading the article aloud to his fam
lily. No sooner had the stranger discovered
what he was reading, than he jumped up
from the table, at which he had not eaten
three mouthfuls, threw down four times the
value of a meal, and instantly left the house.
Some surprise was excited by this sudden
movement, but he was suffered to depart
unmolestetl, and is, no doubt, by this time far
out of reach of pursuit. Patriot.
