not signaZed itself IN this business, and Ann was
more closely inspected than ever. At length it was
actually discovered, that she often met by mys
ferrous looking person, who shufled along if he
had cloven foot, and averred that they had pos
itively it. 1t easy now to account for her
strange languages. There could be doubt bur
this mysterious being was Beelzebub himself, and
there were various conlectures upon the nature Of
their connexion. Some supposed she had made
league with him. and signed the bond with her blood
that he had supplied her with her buckles, and
finally to be rewarded with her immortal soul 9th
ers supposed she was bis wife and coadutor with him.
1t was not, however, till some months after she had
been seen with this mysterious parsonage that the
worst suspicion was realized. Mrs Eyers' kitchen
was situated on the street. The windows were low,
and it edifying sight to look into them. The
dressers and shelves garnshed with bright pew
ter plates, standing their edges and peepng through
of pans. dippers and skimmers, that hung
suspended from the shelves, while shining brass
warming pan and chatting dish garnshed the vain
scot. A woman, happening to pass by, cast her eye
with little madeny curiosity into the kitchen, and
beheld Ann Jones sitting there and conversing with
her demon The alarm Immediately given, and
Mrs Eyers who happened to be visiting in the neigh
borhood, of the first to hear the horrible
ry. 1t may well be supposed that she in great
agitation, and Immediately fastened home but, be-
fore she had arrived, people had collected and sur
rounded the house. Mrs Eyers Immediately proposed
that all the outside shutters should be closed the door
fastened and the key hole stopped, lest Ann and her
familiar should escape. This was done with the
greatest expedition by some while others went for
warrant to apprehend the girl. 1t was said that some
were absurd enough TO suppose that even Beelzebub
might be laid fast hold of and brought to trial. Strict
watch was kept upon the roof and the chnies for it
was thought an easy thing for them to escape in this
candestne manner. AT length the warrant arrived
Expectation and curiosity were wound up TO their
highest pitch, the door carefully opened when to
the horror and astonshment of every body present,
not living soul was to be scent The strictest nves-
tigaton was made they searched in every corner and
every closet up chimney and down cellar; no traces
could be found, and, it was clear, Beelzebub had
claimed his wife.
Months and years passed away, and nothing was
heard of Ann Jones. Her mother could not endure
the disgrace of having such son-in-law, and very
after this discovery disappeared from New Ha-
ven. blrs Eyers could be prevailed on to men
ton her name, and young Hail. who had been AIMS

thick groves of pine, forms position most sdvana-

small massive towers or guard-houses, capable of con-

CANAL STEAMBoAT.-An experiment. has
been tried on the canal, to test, in q measure
the feasibility Of navigating it by steam. The
boat was bulk in New York, and arrived here
yesterday. 1t has two hulls, between which the
wheel is placed, and resembles in degree
the ordinary Teamboats, which are found on
the river. The outside Of each hull is straight.
for the purpose Of creating as little swell in
the canal as possible: The commouon created
in the water by the wheel is confined entirely
TO the centre Of the canal, and the wake of the
boa, was much smoother, or rather was no,
so rough as we expected TO see IT.. The boat
was propelled at the rate of 3 or miles an hour:
and but for defect in the generation of the
steam, it is said her speed nigh, have been
increased to six.
Everyone must know that in the END steam
may supereede the plan of of horses, drivers and
tow-ropes, the evils Of which are too palpable
to need pointing Out 1t is however, vet ex,
tremely probleme.ical whether it can be annlied
with success; not from any fear Of iniurise the
sides OF the canal, as we humbly conceive but
from the simple fact that the depth of the wa.
ter in the canal will not furnish sufficient re-
sistiug power TO the action Of the wheels
