Preserve yoar Sheet from the Gad- Fly

Preserve your Sheet from the Cad Fly.
There exists, in some parts of the coun-
try, species Of fly, which naturaliYts call
sstrus opis, Of the same genus with that
which deposits eggs in the hair of horses,
and causes botts. This fly attacks sheep,
from about the middle Of August to the mid
die of September, deposits its eggs in the
nostriis of the animals, aud causes those
zyormS, which SO frequently destroy them.
The Mechanics Gazette recommends rs
preventive, covering the nostrls of sheep
with list Of gauzy substance, through
which the animal can breathe, and keep
ing it in its place by some adhesive sub
stance" We doubt, however, the prac-
ticaDiiity Of excepting it in its place" by any
"aelhesive substance" Another preventive
which sheep owners tell us is effectual, is
to keep the noses of the sheep constantly
smlrched with tar, from about the middle OF
Augusi to the tier end Of September. If
the sheep swallow some Of the tar, SO much
the better, as it prevents or cures the rot,
and confirms their health.
Ii the fly has performed its mischievous
function, and the seeds of the disorder are
already sown, you may make use OF the fol-
lowing

All the Foreign Ministers who were pres

opel Johnson did not know whether 1t was
Tecumseh, or another chief. but observing
the effects which his intrepidity had upon
the other Indians, he deemed it necessary
to despatch him III order to secure the VIC
tory. The Colonel had already received
four wounds, and was much weakened by
the loss of blood. His horse also had been
SO wounded as to be unable to move faster
than a walk. He was not able to approach
the chief in a line, OIL account of the trunk
of a large tree which was lying before him.
He therefore rode round the head of the
tree and then turned his horse directly to-
wards the chief, and advanced upon him.
Atthe distance of few yards, the Colonels
horse stumbled, but did not entirely fall.
This gave the Indian the first notice OF his
approach, who instantly levelled his rifle at
the Colonel, and gave him another wound,
the severest which he received i'll the battle.
He did not however fall, but continued his
movement towards the Indian, till he came
so near that the Indian was raising his toma-
hawk to strike him down. The Col. had 4
pistol in his right hand, charged with ball
and three buckshot, which he held against
his thigh, so that the Indian had not discov-
cred it. At this moment, the Colonel raised
his pistol and disch 1rging its contents into
the breast of this Indian Chief, laid him
dead upon the spot. The Indians near him
raised veil, and instantly He'd. The Col
onel, covered with wounds, twenty live
balls having been shot into him, his clothes
and his horse, was unable any longer to act;
but was taken from the battle ground, faint

Creighton of the u 5. Ship Cyane, who OBJ
tanned them at considerable expense and no
little trouble from the interior of Africa,
for the purpose, as stated by the New York
Post, of introducing here, "A species which
is said to be highly valuable, not only for
the wool, but the flesh. The tail has a very
singular appearance, being in some instan-
ccs from eight to ten inches in breadth,
forming when it is cooked, a most delicate
and delicious food. A pair Of these sheep,
1t is understood, are intended for General
Van Bensselear Of Albany. Several barrels
ofgrape vines Of the finest kinds to be met
with on the coast of the Mediterranean, to-
gether with large quantity of garden seeds,
have also been received at different times
from the same source. Of the seeds, part
were presented to the Horticultural Society
OF New York; and OF the vines, some have
been distributed, in that vincinity, and the re-

his case was about to be called, his wife, a
respectable young womanin her appearance,

had been waiting in deep anxiety during
the whole morning fell back from her seat,
