Naushawn is the easternnost of the Elizabeth
Islands, lying near Falmouth in Barnstable
County, from which it is separated by
narrow strait, called Woods Hole, where
the tides meet and form numerous eddies
and whirlpools among the rocks, in which
it resembles Hnrl Gate, but the navigation
is more dangerous. We once had the
pleasure of being shipwrecked in this
piaoe-we say the pleasure, because, in
consequence of it, we were obliged to go
ashore on Naushawn, but a short distance
from the mansion house mentioned below.
Here we had an opportunity of seeing two
remarkable dwarfs, who formed part of a
PARTY Of pleasure from Falmouth which
were visiting the Island. Their height was
about So inches, and their age about 81
years. Their figures and proportions were
good, and their conversation sensible
They had two other sisters of nearly the
same diminutive stature, the tallest of which
was but AZ inches high. The whole iami-
ly consisted of nine children, the other i've
being of the usual size. Their name is
Hutch. One of the four has since died, and
the three survivors, Hdnaah, RebeekGh, and
.4bieus;, have visited New-York and Phila
delphia, where they excited great curlos-
ity.
The following spirited article relative TO Maui
shawn. is from the zen of the Editor OF
the Barnstable Gazette. The mansion
house'' was formerly owned and occupied
nv "a gentleman of the name of Bowdoin,
Who was once United States' Minister to
Spain. The present superintendent of the
Island is Gen. SALEM TowNE, of Charlton,
in this County.

where agriculture is carried on upon
large scale. Horses, cattle, sheep,
butter and cheese shew almost prodi-
gality of produce, ard the milk and
cheese rooms, besides their neatness OF
arrangement, present The appearance OF
store houses for these several articles !:
milk set for cream in measures contain

the size Of Dearborn Wagon wheel,
and churns like brewers vat, all pro-
claim an extensive farm under AN excel

to be seen many Improvements in do

80 horses are annually raised for mar
ket from the farm, and vast number of
sheep find rich.pasture in its forests
and upon IFS waste land. But the great
est curiosity is the mansion house. The
politeDess of the gentleman who super
intends the farm gave us an opportunity
of going over it. 1t is situated on a
rising ground, commanding a fine water
and land prCspect-the white sails of
shipping, the main land in the distance,
the farm house with its snug appear
ance of contentment, and the little
coyes and bays which glimmer through
the foliage Of the trees, give an air of
romance 10 the whole, which is pleasing
TO the eye. The interior of the build
ing is finished and furnished in an ele-
giant manner, and seems but lately
deserted. On our entrance the first
things that met our eye were the con-
yeniences of a well furnished kitchen,
with plates, &c. arranged in prime order
along the shelves, and every thing, TO
the most minute article, 10 readiness for
the entrance ola family. The drawing
and sitting rooms appeared as though
in state Of preparation for receiving
company, ard the library was we'll fill
ed with books.-In looking over them
it is true that no production of later
date than 20 years was to be found,
to the utter exclusion of Scott and
Byron; leaf in work upon chem
:stry turned down by the deceased
owner, and which he laid aside to open
the pages off future world, showed the
bent Of bis genius. The furniture was
not altogether in the modern style, bat
was rich and expensive. On the table
was pen and inkstand. and part of a
sheet Of paper on which was written
some story in the French language,
which was torn transYersely TO the read
ing, and which, with permission, we
slowed safely iuto our pockets TO spell
out with the assistance of French
Grammar and Dictionary at another
season. II was said TO have been left
