UNICORN.

Among the curiosties sent BY Mr.. lIodg-
son. assistant to the resident at katmandoo,
to the Asiatic Society of Calcutta, is large
spiral horn, and with it drawings of the ami
NAL made by Bhotea peasant: the draw
ings are said to convey the true image OF
living animal of the deer kind, out of the
centre of whose forehead grows horn Of
the description transmitted.-Th animal is
described as gregarious, gramniv orous, and
its flesh good to eat. Its name is chiro, its
colour bright bay and its dwelling place the
plains Of B'hote, beyond the Hmalayah.-
The Bhoteans, whom trade and religion
bring down annually to Nepaul, appear to
concur in testimony as to the existence of
this animal but they hesitate about procur-
ing it, though urged by the promise of lib
eral reward. They declare that the chiro is
too larye and fierce to be taken alive, or
fall under their simple weapons; but they
sometimes find the horns shed by the liv-
ing or left after the decay of the dead ami
NAL.

DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM.

On Sunday last, between six and seven oc!ock
p. NJ. this town was vis ed by one Of the most
violent tempcss that we ever witnessed. In
the north part ofthe town, by information re-
ccived from there, the damage done to crops,
orchards, fences, and is very great We have
heard ofscvcral farmers in that part of the town,
whose loss cannot be less than from two to four
hundred dollars each. Orchards were prostra-
ted by the wind; whole fields Of peas were com
pletely threshed out by the hail-the rooms i'll
some of the houses, after the windows had been
beaten in by the violence of the wind and hail,
We're deuged with water, to the depth of several
lachcs- and gardens were destroyed by the
combined operation ofall these causes. To give
some idea Of the awful din and comnoton Of the
elements that reigncd for time, it has been
mentioned that majestic elm, standing within
eight or ten rods of the house of Mr.. IIotch-
KISS, whose trunk was nearly as large as hogs
head, was blown down without being heard at
the house. During the violence of the storm,
large cr0''e was observed, beating up from the
south in true sailors style; but either from
dread being shipwreckcd, or from desire of
taking up hisrcsidencc in our far-famed and de.
ightful village, he came too, under the shed Of
Mr.. Bates, and suffered him>c elf to be taken Dos

Fearful indeed must be the storm, when so wild

singular Iccidcnt.-A short time since,
young lady in Swanzey, while engaged in
factory, had the misfortune Of being COM
pletely scalped. Her hair caughtins some
OF the machinery, by which she was raised
suddenly from the floor to tl'li height of
TWO or three feet, when the skin on the back
ol her neck was instantly rent, and stripped
over her head quite to her forehead, taking
on all her hair, aud leaving her skull en-
Ufeiy exposed and bare. The operation
was so quick, that she, did not realize a
ny pain till some time after the accident
happened: nor has the pain at any time
peen so excruciating as might have been
expected. She is in fair way of recovery,
and will probably be soon restored to her
usual state of health.
