MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. On the Goth
ult. the wind raised the water in the De-
troit river a foot higher than it has ever
been known to rise, and caused the water
to flow back on the streams which dis
charge themselves into the strait, and into
the lake above and below the river Raisin, SO
as to do considerable damage to fences, &c.
The banks of Otter creek, below the Rails
in, were overfiowed in the course of the
night, and some houses were surrounded
with water and floating ice. 1t was here
the disaster happened. A house, in which
was a mother and five children, with
young woman, THE husband was q few
miles distant) was surrounded by the flood
before the inmates, who had retired TO bed,
were aware of their danger. The noise Of
the water, and the jarring or moving of the
house, awakened the mother, who rose in
state of alarm, and with three Of the chill
drcn and the young woman, fastened from
the house, and endeavoured to escape
through the ice and water. They had not
gone far before the mother discovered that
two of her children, whom she thought the
young woman had brought from the house,
were left behind, and her maternal feeling
overcoming her fear, she. gave the three
children into the care of the young woman,
and FASTENED to the rescue of her little ones
that were left behind. The poor woman,
however, could not bear up against the cold
and the flood her strength was exhausted,
and she sunk down, calling upon the young
woman to exert herself for the rescue Of
the children that were with her. The
young woman left the mother and two
children to their fate, and succeeded in
reaching neighbouring house which was
also surrounded with water and Iorsaken.
1t appears that she could not get into the
house, and endeavoured to save the chill
dren by placing them on ladder. They
were so chilled, however, that they could
not remain on the ladder, and ere Of them
fell and was drowned. She then placed
the other two in an oven, (which was built
near the house, upon which she had sue
ceeded IN climbing. In this situation she
remained until morning, having nearly per-
ished with cold and suffering. The chill
dren in the oven were too tender 10 endure
the hardships to which they had been ex-
posed; the little sufferers were found dead.
The mother and the two children that were
left behind also persisted.

ATHENS, (GeO. Jan. 70.
SINGUIARITIEs. A gentleman who was
recently on a surveying excursion in APP
ping county, informs us he met with in
that neighborhood, an old man named Will
liam Starting, who was a soldier in Brad
docks expedition he had fourteen children
by his first wife, and raised nearly all of
them. After the death of his first wife, he
remained single ten years; but, finding it
lonesome way of living, about three years
since he married a maiden lady aged about
torty-five years, who, in year afterwards,
became the mother Of two fine boys at
birth A few years since, there was also
living in the above mentioned county, a
man who had married his wife's sister, his
brothers wife, his wife's daughter, his
brothers daughter, and his neice. This
happened by the two brothers marrying two
sisters in the first instance, and on the
death of the wife of one, and the husband
of the other, the survivors married togeth-
er; after which, the wife dying, the hus-
band married her daughter by his brother,
being his neice. Hard by was a lady who
had buried SIR husbands, and, not being
over sixty years of age, it is supposed was
not particularly averse to try = seventh. At
one of the houses where they passed the
night, the proprietor, about seventy years
of age, had handsome young wife about
seventeen years of age, with beautiful
daughter five months old.

Foolish ADVENTURE. Maj. G. w. Col
lamer, of Barre, W. on the 18th inst. shot an
apple from the bare head of Mr.. Henry In
gram, at the distance of 81 yards, with
rife. Mr.. Collamer then took his turn, and
Ingram at the same distance shot an apple
from his head. 1t was done in the presence
of number of respectable gentlemen, who,
after frultless attempts to stop the parties,
had the satisfaction to see them come off in
safety. The apples were so handsomely
cut by the ball that the juice and pomace
remained in considerable quantities on the
hair Of their heads.

industrious mechanic, residing in the yicini-

proportion of the common adder, but not re-
sembling in color any snake heretofore seen
In this country. The back light brown.
the hedy red and green, extending in two
stripes lengthwise, and the eyes white.
Whether its color is owing to its confne
ment in the stomach or not, naturalists must
decide. Mr.. Sanders has been troubled for
more than year past with unusual pain in
his stomach, which gradually increased.
For month past it has been constant and
frequently severe, accompanied by motion
like the crawling of some living animal.

in his inside. She ridiculed the idea, think

On the Saturday previous, he felt unusual
pain in his stomach which extended to his
neck and head--he took dose of medicine.

larger dose, but still relief was not obtain
ed. Monday morning, at breakfast, after
swallowing piece of meat, he felt such
nauseous sickness, that he left the house
and commenced severe vomiting, in the
course of which he brought up living rep

insurgents. He was compelled to leave the
province with an escort of only fifteen men
and fed to Taiina, a town in Bolivia, from
whence he wrote to Gen. Sucre, President
of Bolivia, requesting succor. That officer
retained for answer, that he was ever ready
to afford an asylum to the unfortunate, and
should be gratifed to extend to Gen La
Madrid every courtesy, but that he had not
power to interfere with the domestic distur-
Dances of another state.

QUEBEC, Jan. 10.


Ga the night of Monday last, a bear en-
tered the pigsty of one of the inhabitants of
the parish of Cape st. Ignae, and stran-
gled two large hogs the farmer hearing
the disturbance repaired to the sly, and
finding Bruin still there shut the door, and
made him prisoner securely as he thought,
with the intention of infictlng mortal pun
ishment when day light should return. He
was for the time disappointed, as the pris-
oner had broken sty and unceremoniously
decamped, butIike other hardened Offend
ers did not avail himself of his liberty to
clear ont for his native woods, and on furth-
er search was found in a sheep-cote, where
he had strangled twelve of the flock, and
having regularly piled them one on the 9th
er, was enjoying quiet nap on the carcass
es of his victims the farmer taking adj
vantage of this i'll judged confidence in his
enemy, alarmed his neighbors, and the
sanguinary monster was quickly despatched
by the host of assailants now arlayed in
arms against him.

The Whale, which for several DAYS had
been sporting in our river, was captured on
Monday last, in fine style by boats crew
of young men from Newport. Mr.. Oliver
Potter laid the boat alongside as the whale
came up, and Mr.. Thomas White fastened
the harpoon into her side. After running the
boat some distance, she was lanced, and
carried into Newport. The whale is of the
right sort, about IA feet long, and rated at
20 barrels of oil. A number of gentlemen
of this town have made arrangements to
CRAFTY the curiosity of those who may wish
to see this creature of the deep, and it will
be exhibited for several days in a conven-
lent place at Fox Point.-.4merican
ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF THE UTILITY OF
NEWSPAPERS. In August, 1926, Mr.. Henry
Wright of Wilbraham, applied to us, mot in
an editorial capacity to ascertain what
means he should take to obtain assistance
from the pension appropriation, from which
he had been cutoff by the rigid construc-
ton of the law His tale of suffering, in
experience and anticipation, was so full of
nature and fact, that we gave sketch of it
in our paper of August 80, 1896. 1t was
extracted into southern paper, and fell
under the observation of a gentleman at
Washington, who was kind enough to in
terest himself on the subject. 1t was more
than year before he could ascertain in
what paper the article at first appeared and
then there was so much labor and form to 90
through in order to present his claim, which
is at length favorably received, sand the old
soldier is restored to the list of the favored
creditors of America. We have reason to
believe that any honest and TEMPERATE
old soldier, whose actual property, exclu-
sive of all he honestly owes, does not ex-
coed 300 dollars, may be restored to the
pension roll.-.SPringfeId Journal.
The following strange occurrence took
place in our Court of Common Pleas, on
Thursday last In trial in which it was
supposed the interest of the stockholders of
the Morris Canal were concerned. one of
the council challenged the Judges,-the
Judges being very modest appointed the
clerk of the court, sheriff, and gentleman
Of the bar triers, who after mature deliber-
alton reported "That they found the
Judges COMPETENT, 10 by The cause as far
as THEIR INTEREST a0aS concerned And
further they say not"

A Mrs. Simpson paid new years visit
to her husband in the jail of Davies county,
Indiana, and the jailor, good naturedly per-
mitted her to remain in the Jail with him
over night ; early the next morning she bid
him an afectionate farewell, and departed
in tears; some hours after, however, the
jailor found that he had departed, leaving
her in his place, she having put on the
breaches. She was shortly afterwards dis
charged, and he has not since been heard
from. Few husbands would object to their
wives assuming the breeches on such occa-
sions.

STEAM Boar ASEcDoTE. Always en-
gagged in supporting Gen. jackson, his
friends never suffer an opportunity to es-
cape them, in which they think they can
make proselytes in his cause. By land or
by water-going or coming, they are nj
ways active. Not long since, a very res
pectable citizen being DESTROYS to know the
number otpersons on board the steam boat,
in which he was travelling between this
and New-Orlsans, was going among the
passengers and crew, enquiring of each
how they would vote on the Presidential
question. Nearly all were in favor of Mr..
Adams. Disappointed and chagrined at
the replies he received, he stepped hastily
up to stout, greasy looking citizen, who
was sitting very composedly on bale of
cotton, and slapping him heartily on the
shoulder, said with great emphasis, ~ am
