SoMNoLENcY. A singular circumstance
occurred at Leominster Eng on the night
of Friday week. When a widow in tina.
town was about to retire to rest, she mis-
sed the eldest of her two children, about
ten years old, and the window of her room
being open, she was informed by the young
est that his brother had eaped from it into
the street, height of sixteen feet. An
alarm was instantly given and after some
search, the child was discovered in field
beyond the church, at considerable dis
lance from his home. When he saw the
person in pursuit of him approaching, he
fled back to the town, and meeting his
mother IN the street, ran to her, and asked
her to save him from the murderers. II
appeared the child had dreamed some nor
sons were about to murder him, arose in his
sleep, opened the window, and jumped into
the street. When he awoke he found him
self in the field, and seeing the persons in
pursuit (s.ill under the impression of his
dream,l he ran from them back to the town.
where he encountered his anxious parent.
The child escaped unhurt, although he was
naked, and, to use his brothers. expression,
leaped like dog from the window into the
street.-English paper.

The LAKES. Lake Ontario is two or three
feet lower this year than it was last season. A
Cleaveland paper states that the waters of Lake
Erie within the las: three years have made
rapid and extensive inroads upon the rich and
beautiful lands which skirt its southern shore.
The banks in many places including from FIVE
to ten or twenty acres, sometimes in the space
of II moment, break and slip, like an avalanche,
almost or quite TO Il level with the bed of tho
lake. Fine farms are often materially dimin-
ished, even towns situated on the lake are en-.
dangerod The lake seems evidently encroacl-
ing upon the whole extent of the southern
shore, as if by the operation Of some immutabla
law Of nature,--Roclcstor Telegraph,

Rio de Jameiro, .4pril %. The British
government having sent orders to make
reprisal Of Brazilian vessels to the amount
claimed for captures during the war with
Buenos Ayres, if this government refuse
immediate settlement, has caused some ex-
element. Three vessels of war are now off
the harbor, waiting the decision, which has
been procrastinated some days.
The amount claimed is G422, 700 sterling,
for vessels condemned and detained. II
does not appear likely a settlement will he
made until after some vessels are taken.
This is either policy on the part of the gov
eminent or hardhood.

ain the first two months of President
Jackson's administration, he has appointed
more Members of Congress to public office
than believe were appointed by any one
of has predecessors during their whole peri
cd Of four or eight years. And it appears
that no Office is too high or too low to be
bestowed by him on this favored class
from that Of Head of Department down
to an inconsiderable Colectorshp, or even
subordinate office under Collector. If
| have not been misnformed, Represen-
tative from the greatest commercial Metrop-
oils in the United States has recently been
appointed to some inferior station, by the
Collector of the port Of New York.
Without meaning to assert, as a general
principle, that in no case would it be proper
that resort should be had to the Halls of
Congress to draw from them tried talents
and experienced public servants, to aid in
the Executive or Judicial departments, all
must agree that such resort should not he
too often made, and that there should be
some limit both as to the number and ma
ture Of the appointments. And do sin
cerely think that this limit has, in both par
ticulars, been transcribed beyond all safe
bounds, and so as to excite serious appre-
tensions.

THE Two-sTORIED DWELLING.

In one of my peregrinations through the city of

trained to meet and form graceful fesoon over

clustering blossoms from both corners of this fairy
dwelling, and almost concealed the materials of which
it was composed. On the little grass plot immedi-
aely before the door, was child Of about three years
of age elegantly dressed, playing with pet rabbit

which we sat- was perlumed by the united odor from

morning; and calling on her for the fulflment of her
promise, she gave me the following relation.

becoming proIix, if not tedious. Well, it is your
fault and you must abide by it.

| SUCCESS OF THE RUSSIANS.
The packet ship Manchester, Capt Sketchley, arri-
we'd at New York Tuesday, from Liverpool, whence
she sailed on the LIST of July. The foreign papers by
this arrival contain detailed accounts of severe en-
gagement between the Russians and the Turks, near
Choumla, on the 18th of June. The former were
commanded by Count Debitsch, General-in-chef, and
the latter by the Grand Vizier in person. The force
of the Russians is not stated. The Turkish army,
consisting of $4,000 effective men, including 90 regi-
ments of regular infantry, were utterly Dispersed and
fled with the loss of upwards of so pieces of
all their ammunition Wagons, camp and baggage /;
and above 5000 killed, and 1900 prisoners. The
number of the Russians killed, &c. is not stated
though the official account of their commanding gen
eral says, 4" the loss on our side in this sanguinary
battle is unhappiy not small.'' The combat lasted
four hours.
