in support Of which large force is expects
ed from Spain, and a large requisition will
be made upon the forces now in this Island.

SUCCESSFUL HUNT. James M. Hlliard
uf Colebrook, while on hunting expedition,
heard the whining of young wolves from a
large hollow log. Believing the old wolf to
be in the log, he crawled into it and set a
trap for her, and then laid down near the
place and fell asleep. Upon awaking he
saw two old wolves in the stream near him,
who fled at his appearance. He then en-
tered the log and found nine young wolves,
all of which he bagged and brought (six Of
them alive) to Colebrook--a distance of
about fifteen miles. The bounty on whelps
is ten dollars.

VIRGINIA Com. 1t no longer remains
a doubt, but that Gold of pure quality is
to be found in great quantities in this coun-
ty, as it has already been discovered on 8
different plantations, on one of which, viz,
that of Captain William F. and DR.. Edmund
White, about $500 worth of surface Gold
has been obtained within a few months,
and the partial diggings and examinations
which have been made in several places,
indicates an abundant supply.

A Lovers ENERGY. A letter from Co.

was that day wrecked against one the pill

1t contained seven individuals, amongst
whom there was young lady Of uncommon
beauty, 10 years of age, and belonging to a
most respectable family. She was, more
over, betrothed to a young man, an inhab.
liant of Coblentz, named Fasbender. This
gentleman, happening to be an eyewitness
of the shocking accident, preclpitated him
self from the bridge, with the rapidity of
lightning, into the foaming surge, and, for
tunately, seized hold Of the object of his
affections just as she exclaimed "Jesh Ma

were happily saved.

Great erents from MiR causes"

Samuel Wright Minor, editor Of the Jack
sonlan," paper printed a. MD ,nnough, Hen
ry county, Georgia, was the first man in the U.
States who nominated General Jackson for ,e
Presidency. We have never heard the fact
disputed, and have perfect recollection Of his
having advocated the claims Of the G-neral in
opposition 10 Col. Monroe, while he pu ,lish-
ed the Athens Gazette. and 10 the present dav
he has been consistent and uncuinpromising
supporter Of the "great man."
We mention the circumstance al the present

that his consistent course will not operate to
his disadvantage.
