Coz. PLUcK CAsHrERED.-A Court Mar
tial assembled at Philadelphia for the purpose
of trying Col. John Pluck, have sentenced
him to be cashiered, and declare him incapa-
bic of holding commission in the militia, for
2 years. The sentence has been approved
and new election ordered, to supply the va
cancy thus caused. We hope no other such
experiment will be tried to bring dishonor on
the militia.
MonntuI Gentleu,ea. Since the dis
grace of Col. Pluck, in being cashiered and
'incapacitated from holding any military com
mission, we hear various accounts of him. It
is said ne was highly incensed at the proceed
ings offhc court martial which dishonoured
g him, and, ON its decision, stamped his foot in
lawful pomp,'' and swore roundly that he
would forthwith leave the country of ingrdti-
t~de, and tender his services to the govern
ment Of Mexico! In contemplation of this
step. he has made his will, from which is fur,
nished the following extracts -
Aen,-I bequeath my toledo since it has
been refused by Col. Stone, to Gov. Troup.

zine contains the following Instructions for
brewing " on small SCALE" AZ
"The art Of brewing is exactly similar to
the process OF making tea. Put handful of
malt into a teapot, then fll it with water, the
first time rather under boiling heat. After it
has stood some time, pour of the liquor, Just
as you would tea, and fill up the pot again
with boiling water ina similar manner pour
that off, and SO go on filing up and pouring
OH till the malt in the pot is tasteless, which
will be the case when all the virtue is extract
ed. The liquor, or malt tea, thus extracted,
must then be boiled with few hops in it,and
when it becomes cool enough, that is, about
blood heat, add little yeast to ferment it,
and the thing is done. This is the whole art
and process Of brewing, and to brew larger
quantity requires just the same mode of pro-
ceeding as it would to make a tea breakfast
for a regiment of soldiers. peck of malt
and four ounces Of hops will produce 10quarts
Of ale, better than can he purchased ID Lon

Dissection of an O,ydng Outang.
A Scientific Journal published at Boston,
gives an account Of the dissection of an Ourang
Outang, from the island of Borneo, which
died in that city on the day of its arrival
During considerable part of the voyage it
had been cheerful and fond of amusement,
very d0cile and clean in its habits, cleaning
out a house made for its residence every NOR
ming. II sat on an elevated seat, and gener-
ally walked erect, which appeared to belts
most easy and most natural motion; the bone
ofthe heel exactly resembling that of man.
Its height was about three feet and half, g.
it is supposed to have been nearly six years
old. II was sometimes too b0isterous in its
Inirth, and when corrected it would lay down
and cry like child. 1t drank wine and cof-

probable the change in its diet brought on the
complaint Of which it died. The weather
being very hot, did not allow DIR. Jefries, who
opened and examined the body, that time
which would have been desirable, for full
investigation; but according to the account
which he has given, the internal structure of
every part except the throat, bore closer re-
semblance to that of the human species, than
naturalists have lately been willing to allow
The lips were fuller and thicker than those of
anegro, and the arms were long and the fin
gers reaching to the ANGLES, (which evidently
indicates that they were Intended for climb
ing. The structure and position of the intes-
tines We're the same as in man, and the strucA
ture Of the bones clearly proved that walking
erect was its natural attitude. The mouth
and jaws resembled the human, but we're
argein proportion. Mw
