DEUCALION OF KENTUCKY.

My grandfather was one of the first set
tiers of Kentucky. He was by profession
a miller, and built -four mill at village in
that state. 1t was called Thyatra, after
one of the ancient towns mentioned in the
Bible; and he and his neighbors, the foun-
ders, expected it would become great CT

an active part in the war for the lndepend-

The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser relates
the following anecdote of Yankee pedlar,
and Dutch Innkeeper, near CatskilI.
After some sporting and bantering between
Mynneer and Jonathan, who had shown off
some common slight Of hand tricks, the said
JOnath IN declared that he could swallow his
robust host Notwithstanding that Jonathan
had played off several of his Yankee tricks
which puzzled the good people exceedingly,
this was too great IA m"uthiul for them to
swallow, if the pedar could. A bet sufficient
to mosten the threats of the whole company,
was the consequence between the parties,
though the landlord, in proposing it, had no
idea that his customer would accept, when,as
he supposed, he must be certain of losing
Jonathan then directed that Mynheer should

table which had stood in the bar-ro0m for

teeth, giving the good man twinge which

public exhibition there Of child said TO have

by nature on the white of lis eyes; one OF the
words on each side of The pupil. The child has
since been taken to London; and we copy the
following article concerning il from the London
New Times:
"There was private view Yesterday of the
child whose eyes bear The very singular impress
of the letters on franc piece. The letters,
Napoleon Emperor" are distinctly visible
in the iris of the chilis eyes; they are OF pale
blue colour, and, as is stated, considerably lar

sequence Of the growth Of the child. l, was not
said whether the sight of the child had been
in any degree affected by The singular marks,
nor when they were first observed. he I'M
preston is accounted for in two ways; one is,
that the mother when pregnant, received as
present, a franc piece Of the Emperor, which
she was in the habit Of frequently gazing on;
the other, that there was in the Dom where She
sat medal Of the Emperor These causes, or
rather pretended causes, have thei. origin in a
theory whic is, we believe now secuted by ev>
ry person Of common sense, as well as by all
medical writer's.
The Old Times however, expresses itself dill
ierenly on the subject:
"The child stated 10 have the words Napoleon
Emperor, visible on its eyes, has been brought
from Paris to be exhibited in The Royal Bazar
