scribes their residence on one Of the Azores
Islands, in letter to the editor OF the Ameri-

centre of garden of three acres, and COM
mands an extensive view of the harbor, and of

ANEcDoTE. A few years ago, in one of
the northern medical colleges young
physician was so fond of dissecting that he
would very often continue his dissections
until late at night. One night having left
the dlssectlng room for a short time, upon
returning, he walked deliberately up stairs !;
hardly had he reached the door, when he
was nearly preciptated from the top to the
bottom OF the steps, by coming in contact
with his servant, an Irishman, who was
employed as an assistant, who at the same
time set up cry of murder murder! Hav-
ing recovered himself in measure, he was
informed by the Irishman, that the head of
a man which was lying on the floor, had
altered its position. The young physician,
thinking that some Of the medical students
were amusing themselves at his expense,
ordered the Irishman to light the candle.
which had been extinguished. When
light was brought, the Irishman having
been ordered, cautiously opened the door.
to IND out the cause Of this extraordinary
phenomenon but no sooner was the door
opened when the head moving again, caus-
ed the freshman to ely out murder! with
such stetorian lungs, Us to alarm the whole
institution. A candle having been brought
the third time, the young physician took it
from the hands of the affrighted Irishman,
and Selling stirk- Iualked in hotnrnainAd
that if any of the students were therein
concealed, to make them feel the weight of
it. The head was perfectly still until he
it, when, judge Of his astonish-
ment, it stood erect and stared MIN in the
face he attempted to touch it it sprang a
foot from the floor; he touched it with the
stick he would attempt to move it on one
side, it moved on the other. The Irishman
standing by, could not move from fright :;
but made the walls resound with the cry Of
murder! Lo, and behold! it was rat
which had crept into the head, the brains
having been taken out, and bad not been
able to find Its way back again.

We are getting in sight Of land-We have COM
pie,e Returns from I6 Districts; viz Of Shepan-

cess Anne; Roekbridge; Culpeper; Henrco; Ame-
Is; Spottsylyania; Southampton; Prince William;
A,ioemarle; Campbell; Lunenburg and Charlotts.
We can count with almost absolute certainty, up
on a others; viz Botetourt; Caroline; Berkeley
and Grayson; also with the same degree of GER
tainty upon Delegates in Ohio D.; and in the
p. oil Washington-making 20 Districts, out of the
a. susceptible Of almost absolute certainty, and
Delegates in three others-Consttuting eighth
str Delegates out Of the whole ninety -sir.~It is
possible, that by our next paper shall have the
complete returns-and thus be able to furnish a
Muster Roll Of the Members IF the Convention
This body will present very imposing specta-
Gle OF Citizens, distin gushed by their talents and
the Offices they have filled-Two Ex-Presidents
Messrs Madison and Monroe)-The Governor
OF the Commonwealth, (Mr. Gies)-The Chief
Justice OF the U. States, (Mr. Marshali.)-At
least two Of the State Judges, viz: Judges Green,
and Dade; eleven members Of Congress, viz:
our TIVE Senators, Messrs. Tazewell and TYLER;
and nine members Of the III. of r viz: Mesars.
Trezvant, Alexander. Roane, p. p Barbour, j. S
Barbour, Taliaferro. Mercer, Mccoy and Dod-
drldge-besdes several members of both branches
OF the State Legislature, and citizens distinguish
SN =" VIC Ndiious WdikS OIL private ,-lhree
gentlemen are selected by other Districts than
their own to represent them, viz Messr,. Leigh,
Stsnard and c.. Johnson; whose standing at the
bar OF this City, is too well known to require the
pen of panegyric.
As to the general views Of the members, there
seems to be every probability that the Reforrnists
have carried the day-that is to say count the s6
Delegates beyond the Allegheny; 4 in Lotdoun;
in the District Of Albemarle; at least in the
District of Campbell; probably 2 in the d. Of
Pittsylvania; one in the District Of Norfolk-and
not counting any in the ID. of Accomack, altho'
there is the strongest probability that the vote of
that populoas county will give the ascendancy to
the Convention Candidates, and without count
ing any others, whose principles are not SO
well known-On the two great questions, up
on which so much is to turo ttAe basi. Of
representation and the right Of sufIfage,) it
may possibly happen, that a very few members
may be found or the one side, who are not found
on the other. In this District. for example, one Of
the Delegate, has declared himself in favor of
very liberal extension Of the right of suffrage,
while he is also for making taxation as we'll az
population tie Elements of reprssentation.--Eve
ry thing seems to be propitious to the cause of Re.
form.
