BrsuINn CAT. Th9rO is at the Battery
on the Devils Point, a cat which is an expert
catcher of the finny tribe, being in the constant
habit of diving into the sea and bringing " the
fish alive in her mouth and depositing them in
the Guard.room for the use of the soldiers.
She is now seven years old, and has long been
a useful caterer 1t is supposed that her pursuit
of the water rats first taught her to venture in
to the water, to which it is we'll known puss has
natural aversion. She is as fond of the wa

regular peregrinatons along the rock at its edge,
looking out for her prey, ready to dive for them

A HoRsE AND WELL STORY. bakers horse
fell into well, in the rear of house in Arch
street, near Front, Philadelphia, on Wednesday
last The well though dry was forty feet deep,
and when he found himself going, he gave one
of those frightful screams of agony which are
rarely heard, but which are SO expressive of
the animals feelings. A workman was lowered,
and rope fastened around the horse, but it
proved insufficient to bear his weight, and when
near the surface it broke, and precipitated him
to the bottom A second attempt was not more
successful, and on his third descent, he was
killed
New CoIEAGE. Intelligence has been re-
ceived from Russia that an experimental coming
of platina has taken place for the Government.
This new currency is TO be issued at the rate of
twenty-five shillngs per ounce, in round num-
bers, about four times the value Of silver, and
about one fourth the value of gold. 1t is stated
that platina will not mix with any other metal
il cannot, therefore, be debased

ToAsrs, The Georgia papers are so filled
with discussions on the tariff, that they have
but little room for toasts, and our Pennsylvania
Jackson paper IS no longer receivedby US, SO that
we have been unable to serve up to our readers,
this season, any of those precious mOrcsGu1 in
the form Of 4th of July toasts, which we have
heretofore obtained from these sources We
have however obtained, at second hand, the fol-
lowing elegant specimen of the sublime and
ridiculous" given at Pennsylvania celebra-
ton, which must suffice for the present:
The Fair Se1-Brilliant decoraments that lu-
minous in the dadem Of familiarising inter-
course, whose placid salutes are more lucious
than nectar, vocalness harmoniously enchant-
ing as the melodies of Arion, optics moro ad-
mirable than the diamond that glares upon their
ornaments ; saluters as attractant as attraction
ofmagnetism. Their presence casts around ex-
istence a charmingness that revives it in its
irksome pilgrimage their verule in the causa-
ton of suffering virtue, wards off calamity's We
hement darts.

and had heretofore been man OF respectabii-

town of Stanford for many years. James d.
Weed. the husband of Nancy, had common.
ced an action against him for the seduction Oh
his wife, in which he recovered before the
County Court, $4,000 damages. Bishop re-
moved it by appeal to the superior Cour!,

He had taken a large quantity of opium on

statement was, that he purchased quarter OF

that he had used it habitually in small guam
titles since; and that'he took all he had on

The Liverpool Chronicle published an ar
ticle under the head "Tale Of Mystery"
which contains an account Of the mysterious
disappearance Of young woman named Ma
ria Meharg, who had been in service in Lon
don. In consequence of the publication of
the case in Liverpool papers, information was
conveyed TO the police, that young woman,
answering the description of Mary Meharg,
had, in the month Of March last, remained
for few days at public house in James
street, Liverpool, in company with young
man who came from Birmingham on the same
coach on which she had travelled from Lon
don. This young man, who had seen Mary
Meharg for the first time on the stage coach,
was on his way to New-Orleans, and per-
suaded her to accompany him to the United
Safes They left Liverpool on the 3Oth of
March in the ship Canova, for New orleans,
where they arrived early in the month of
Nay About fortnight afterwards, the cou-
pie were married at boarding house, kept
by person named Riley, on the levee, in
the before nsmed city. These facts were de-
posed to by seaman, who sailed from Liver
pool in the "anova, and who now happens to
be in Liverpool This man saw both Mary
and her husband two days before he left New
Orleans on his return to Liverpool in the ship
James Grant. The evidence of the seaman |
was so satisfactory, and so convincing of the
innocence of the poor fellow who was in Gus
ody for the supposed murder, that the pri-
'oner was discharged by the magistrate on
Tuesday last London p0ptr.

We have no doubt that Indian corn might

had been sown for curiosity; but, as it must
