HYDRoPHoBIA. Two cattle, an OK and
heifer, belonging to James Bailey, Esq,
Woolwlch, (Maine) were bitten by fox
that came into the enclosure short time
since. These creatures were in great ago
ny for several days, and refused to drink.
They were both killed to end their suffer-
ings, and the fox was shot soon after he
had injured them. The fox was evidently
mad.

FROM LIBERIA. The Harriet, the vessel
which carried the last emigrants (163 in
number) to Liberia, has arrived in Hampton
Roads after passage OF AZ days. A long
spell of dry weather, soon after their arriv-
al, had subjected the emigrants, with very
few exceptions, to the fever of the coast !;
II to Is had died, but the others were con-
'alescent. The mortality in some cases
was produced by indulgence in the fruits of
the climate. Capt. Johnson brings the in
telligence Of the death of DR.. Randall, the
Governor of the Colony, sent out by the
parent society at Washington. Fhe Vice
Agent, DIR. Mechlin, had assumed the gov

100 houses, and others were daily erecting

STORIES. We take the liberty to eau
ton people, residing at distance, against
giving credit to more than one tenth of the
reports in circulation relative to the stua-
ton of the manufacturers in this village
and vicinity. But three factories have stop
ped in this place, and we are authorized to
state that they will be in operation again in
a few days. We do not believe that the
creditors of either of the manufacturers,
who have assigned their property, will suf-
fer much if any loss, further than a delay
of payment for few months.

EXEMPLARY TRIBE OF INDIANS. In the
York Advocate Upper Canada) we find the
evidence CT a Rev. Mr.. Ryerson before the
parliament Of tina: province, on the subject
OF an Indian petition, which is curious for
the account it gives of settlement of the
Missssagan Indians on tract of land call
ed the Credit, probably on the river Mis-
slssagau or Mississaque. Their number is
about two hundred and thirty, settled in n
little village, and increasing by the addition
OF savageS from the woods who are attracted
by the obvious comfort and quiet of their
condition to share their mode of life. They
reside on tract of land situated on the
river, three miles and half in length, and
two miles wide. They live in cottages
divided into two apartments, with a garrett,
and sometimes with the addition of kitch-
en-. In them are chairs, tables, bedsteads,
beds with curtains, and kitchen utensils
common among whites. There is garden
of half an acre allotted to each house, and
in some instances they have private enclo-
sures of from two to four acres, and the
village cultivates field of sixty acres in
common. They raise corn, potatoes, some
wheat, ana abundance OF garden vegetables.
! According to the report of Mr. Ryerson
they live together in great sociallty and
harmony, are kinder to each other than the
whites, and civil and hospitabe to stran-
gers. They are sober too-ardent spirits
| by solemn agreement are not permitted
to be drunk in the village; and he who
ofends against this rule is looked upon as
having violated the agreement, and is ex-
PEELED from the village. There are two
schools, one for the males and the other for
the females, with fifty children in EACH
There they are taug ht reading, writing
and arithmetic, and out of school the chill
dren instruct the adults to read. Thus
they are daily improving in civilization
The object of the petition is to secure them
from the intrusion of the whites, who fish
in their streams, and endeavor to teach the
young Indians to swear, drink whiskey

1t is an invention for carrying passengers
upon the rail road with great speed, and
without SO much distress TO the horse as is
the case by the present mode. "The horse

the carriage, being hooked to the frame of
the body and walking upon revolving
floor, which floor is placed on endless
chains or bands of leather, and they passing

road wheels; by this means the increase in
the speed of the carriage over the actual
travel of the horse or other animal. would
be in proportion as the diameter of the
drawers, or pulley wheels, are smaller than
the road wheels-that is sllpposing the
horse to walk at the rate of three miles per
hour, the carriage and horse will be propel-
led fifteen miles in the same time, and with
but little fatigue to the horse"

PEDLARs. One of these trading timer

and sentenced by the Justice to recognise

Pleas to be held in Tspn att hi il Ss os;na,

Some twenty or thirty miles from this is a
place called Flat Rock, and it is deserved
ly entitled to that appellaton, for it presents
surface of thousands and tens of thou
sands of acres, the barren and brazen face
of which does not afford sufficient guam
tity of mould to propagate any thing but
reptiles. lnthe clefts, cracks and crevices,
which are numerous in this rock, you NAV
find all kinds of snakes, from the pretty
little garter snake up to the huge, over
grown wampum-jawed rattle snake. On
or near it, lives an old man who spends a
considerable part of his time in catching
and tanning these serpents. We have seen
him come into this place with half dozen
rattle snakes in basket-and have seen
him thrust his hand into the basket and
take them out, as a child would so manv
kittens, and put them in his bosom, and he
appeared to take as much pleasure and de-
light in their Kissing and rafting, as a
youth would in the purring of kitten, or
the rafting of horse fiddle.

The following is the passage Of the Report refer
red to by this amendment,
eft appcars that in some instances purchases have
beep made of lands other than those which were re.
ouired to furnish the line Of the Canal The circum.

several Offices where they required by law to be
recorded has the Committee from ascertain
ing with any degree of precision the of these
purchases. So far, however, as they lave been in
formed unon the subject, appears that three motives
have opera,ed as inducements for these acquisitions.
Where the land thus acquired contsined quarries
Of stone or other materials essential the construction

the Canal and the river possessed guard barrier
which protected the shore and consequently the Canal
from abrasion by the during the high stages of the
waters and it was deemed prudent and necessary to
MCGUIRE the ownership of the SOIL in order to retain an
absolute CONTROL in the Company such barriers
guards, the removal OF which might involve the de-
s,ruction of their works. 8. Where the land lying be
tween the Canal and the river belonged to the same

deemed advisable to incur the former. with view to
