habitants in the east part of Brandon, VT.
His appearance was 80 interesting, that all
who saw him, were highly delighted, and
men, women and children, with one consent,
determined to take IN the stranger. He,
however, did not belong to "good society,""
was ungenteel and bashful, and retreated to
the woods. The women and children sur
rounded the forest, while the more adven-
turous men explored the thicket, and paid
forcible sautations to the diffident stranger.
Two full-grown bears were taken, after one
of them had made proof of his excellent
teeth in the thigh of Mr.. David Richardson,

The Court of Common Pleas, after a busy
week, adjourned on Saturday last. Among
the trials of the civil actions, was one, which,
although it involved or established no new
principle, yet knowledge of the grounds
on which and other like cases have been
decided, are not perhaps by every person
rightly understood. The action was brought
to recover the wages of minor, for about
six months labor. The work was proved
and not denied. But the defendant Of
fered in evidence, and showed clearly
special contract-that the lad was to WORK
year for a stipulated sum, and that he lett
his employment without good cause before
the expiration of the term agreed upon.
The Plaintiff endeavored to rebut this evil
dence by attempting to shew, in the first
place, that there was no special contract,
and therefore he was entitled to receive
what the work was reasonably worth for the
time the boy labored; and, in the next place,
if the Jury should believe from the whole
evidence, that there was contract for Il
year, We: the Plaintiff ought to recover, be-
cause the hoy had good and sufficient cause
for leaving the defendants employment.
The Court Judge Cummings) instructed
the jury, that, if they believed there was a
special contract for year for stipulated
sum, and the boy failed without sufficient
cause, to work that length of time, there
verdict must be for the defendant; if there
was no special contract, or, if there was a
contract for a year and the boy had good
cause for leaving the defendants employ
ment, (which might be i'll treatment, sick
ness and the like) then the verdict of the
Jury should be for the Plaintiff to recover
what the labor done was reasonably worth

FROM cOIOMBIA.

"CARRAcAs, Aug. %. Late events have
added a new example to the solemn lesson
that the step from Military Rule to Despotic
Power is but short and easy one, when
the public mind becomes degraded, and
covers under intrigue and corruption. Boil
var you know has assumed the Sovereign
command of Colombia, more in the jesuitcal
style of Cromwell, than in the bold enc OF
Napoleon; and having serviie military
and other tools to support his usuIpation, we
now hear many of those who lately stood
foremost among the most noisy of those who
called themselves exclusively Patriots and
Republicans, openly proclaiming their pref
erence for Despotic Rule in an individual
for life, under whom they say they shall
enjoy quiet and security, to that of the gone
by reign of Liberty and Equality, which
they pronounce to have been the parents of
Anarchy, and of that many headed Tyrant-
the Sovereign People. Such is now the
altered tone of thousands. May we not
hope from the knowledge of this degrading
fact, that our countrymen in the United
States will be induced to reverence more
highly, and love more dearly our well bal
anced system of Girl Government, and
avoid the deplorable effects of Military Usur-
patton"

ASoTHER MILL HOAX. An account is now
running through the papers, of wonderful
flour mill recently erected al Cincinnati, (O)
1t said to be operated "5y small steam engine
which is attached to two rotary pumps or sue
ton machines, standing over large vat or cis-
tern of water, by which means water is dis.
charged upon wheel 80 feet in diameter. with
power sufficient to carry two pair of stones, four
feet in diameter, together with all the macbin-
cry in the mill. The works are so constructed
that all the water, except what is lost by evan.
Grafton, runs directly back into the cistern, thus
keeping up constant supply for the pumps.
The cistern is originally supplied by the rain
caught from the caves of the building. This
then" the account adds, " is neither steam
nor water power mill, but partakng Of the
excellencies of both"
This beats the mans lifting himself by his
breeches waist band all hollow The object of
the article is clearly to give impression, that,
by the Intervention of the forcing pumps and
water wheel, great increase of power is OBJ
tanned, when, in fact, the reverse is true As
the water when elevated will not produce SO
much power as it requires to elevate it by ex-
actly the friction of both operations, SO it fol-
lows of course, that By applying the steam en-
glne directly to thu mill, and dlsmissing the
pumps and water Wheel saving would be
made OF just as much power as it requires to
keep them in motion. If we are not correct in
this position, we should be happy to have our
error shewn, either by some of our Cincinnati
friends, or by some of the editors who have SO
readily copied the article and circulated it.

THE FLooD. Since the waters receded
from the meadows, some of the farmers have
been engaged in stripping down the husks
of the Indian corn, leaving the ears to dry
and ripen on the stalks; others in gathering
their corn and husking It. Some Of it is but
little injured, and some is materially dam
aged. The potatos are completely ruined,
and most of them will be left in the ground.
We believe that great portion of the pota-
tos in the low meadows in Hadley, Hat

fate with those in Northampton.

The CANAL. For the information of those
who are DESTROYS to know whether boat may
be expected mere by the time ofthe Cattle Show,
we can only say, that, although the canal will
not be finished by that time, yet it will be in
such state of forwardness, that boats may pass
through the whole length of it. But whether
it will be thought advisable to pass boat up
before the work is completed or not, is point
on which we not advised, and therefore una
BILE to give any opinion.
