A Cariosity.-A lady in this town, a
few days since, laid out some linen on
the grass to whiten, and on takingit up,
found to her establishment number OF
flowers elegantly painted upon it. A
second time the same magical picture was
stamped upon her linen, which led to the
discovery of the fair painter. 1t was
found to be a little worm which diligent-
ly laboured till he had produced the
flower, and then died. The flowers are
large, perfectly regular, and variegated
The colour of the centre is yellow, the
foliage of dusky brown. Naturalists
can probably give some further account
Of this little embroiderer.

Distressing CircEmstdnce.-A child in
Colchester, about 25 months old, was
missed by its parents on Tuesday, the
Esd ult. A search was Immediately
commenced by the parents and those of
the neighborhood and continued during
the night and afternoon of the following
day, which proved unsuccessful. The
alarm was given in this village Wednes-
day afternoon, by the ringing Of the
bells, and several of the citizens repair
ed with promptitude 10 the dwelling of
the unfortunate parents, and commenc-
ed IA dilligent search, through the for
ests and adjoining fields, which was kept
up until late in the evening, when they
returned without having made any dis
covery. BY this time, so severe was
the aflliction to the mother of the child,
that she became mentally deranged.
Early on Thursday morning the alarm
was again given, and several hundreds
recommended the search, which was at
tended with as little success as former
ly, until late in the afternoon, when
tracks were found but they were still
under the painful necessity Of returning
without further success. On Friday
vi orning the party again met, and dis
perssd in different directions, with bu:
faint hopes of finding the child alive /;
but were, however, happily disappoint-
ed. II was found in the afternoon, in
Sunderland Hollow, on the bank of a,
stream, caught by its clothes on bush,
about two miles from home, and restor-
ed to its parents, after having been lost
three days and three nights, whose
overjoyed feelings can be better imag-
ined than described. Although the child
was extremely weak when fonnd, we
understand il is now fast recovering.
