no following liner are taken from Poem entitled 4
Autumnal Evo,' written Cor the Times Telescope,
Delta, of Blackwsod'a Magazine.
The shower hath drifted Ger; the blue
Ofcloudcss heaven shines softly through;
Still is the mir, the sea is calm,
The bright bloomsd flowers sutbrsathing balm;
And from the west, with orange ray,
Serenely clear, and calmly gay,
The sun looks forth DER oceans isles,
Der earth and heaven, and setting smiles.
What, though the day in clouds have passed,
Though dripped the rain and roared the blast,
Though Mornng's orient flag unfurled
Scarce awed the shades that dimmed the world,
And fire eyed Noons rcsplendant car
Ploughed vainly through deep mists affair."
This scene of bsauty and delights,
And evening radiance, well requites
For dreary doubts, for boding gloom,
And dreams, whose dwelling was the tomb.
The murmuring bee, from flower to flower
Is roaming round the biossmy bower
The clustering bower, where jasmine wreath
Is mixed with odorous flowers beneath,
The creeping honeysuckle weaves
Its yellow horns with ivy leaves;
And round them in many row,
The lilies of the valley blow,
Upshooting snowy bells between
Luxuriant stems of darkest green.
How bright, how beautiful the day
In its calm lustrc dies away,
AS if the clouds that wept the while
Had dried their tears, and turned to smile
Down on the verdant wales of earth,
Whose looks have changed from gloom to mirth
Onevery blade, and leaf and stem,
Of diamond drops diadem
Around is sprinkled bright and clear
AS beauty's sympathising tear,
When sinless sorrows cause its flow -
The fruits depend from every bough,
Mellow and ripe the downy peach,
The purple plum, and nectarinc, each
Half shaded by its leaves, in hue
Diversified, and varying too
With note melodious, clear and free,
Upon the moss Drowned apple tree,
Within the ancient orchards pale
The JiachLird, Scotslands nightingale,
Sits singing, and responses sound
From every grove and garden round.

Curious CIRCUMSTANCES. Mr.. George
Dixon OF. Durham, butcher, dreamed on
Sunday night last Ia strong impression hav-
ing probably been produced on his mind by
the heavy rains of that and the preceding
day. that flock, consisting of about two
hundred sheep, his property, which were
feeding in turnip field, on the banks of
the Tyne, near to Corbridge, Northnmber-
land, had been swept away, by the over
flowing of that river. The dream had such
an effect upon him, that he was induced to
call up young man, his apprentice, and
despatch him to the place in question at an
early hour on Monday morning, with in
structions to remove the sheep Immediately
on to higher ground, and on no account to
be dissuaded from so doing. The young
man, after a ride of about % miles, reached
the field, and proceeded to execute the or
ders given him, when the farmer on whose
land the sheep had been placed remonstrat-
ed with him, and ridiculed the idea of re-
moving them, assuring him they were per-
fectly safe. The apprentice, however, was
firm in the performance of his duty, and
before he had succeeded in removing the
whole of the sheep, the flood broke down
an embankment, and covered the field to a
considerable depth, the rapid current carry
ing off FIVE of the flock, which were borne
along for a considerable distance, but we've
finally secured in consequence of their
fleeces being entangled in the hedges.

JUDICIAL. In the Supreme Court, Wash
ington, Jan. 90, Mr.. Justice Washington
delivered the opinion of the Court in Will
liams VS.. The Bank of the United States.
1t was an action by the Bank brought
against Williams, as indorser upon nego-
table note. The only question, was wheth-
er there was due notice to the indorser.
1t appeared that the indorser lived in the
town where the bank was situate, and
when the note became due and was DIS
honored, a Notary went to the house of the
indorser to give him notice, found it shut
up, and upon inquiry of neighbor, learned
that the indorser and his family were out
OF town on visit. The Notary then left
written notice at neighbours house, re-
questing 1T to he delivered 10 the indorser
upon his return. The Court held that
where the house of the indorser is shut up,
and no person is there to receive notice, it
is not necessary for the Notary to do any
further act to give notice, or leave any
written notice any where else for the in
dorser. The judgment of the court, in fla
vor of the bank, was therefore affirmed.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND PRovIDEN-

step-daughter of Mr.. Vincent observing no
light in the Wesleyan Chapel, went into

(nearly l2 months old) were on FIRE: She

candle, and went into neighbours house.
The other little boy, about four years old.
says, that his brother, after his mother went
out, got up and lit the candle, when the
sleeve caught fire and continued burning
about the child till he dropped down dead.
The other two children, in few minutes
must have been suffocated, if not burnt to
death.

PIGEONS. Innumerable multitudes of
Pigeons have been for many days passing
and repassing over this town. One flock
which passed over, literally obscured the
atmosphere, and could be observed in every
direction as far as the eye could reach, and
making noise like a strong rush of wind.
No calculation can possibly be made of its
extent, with any degree Of accuracy; but
we should imagine from the time occupied
in their passage, that the foremost ones
might have flown thirty miles by the time

SOMNoLENcY. A most laughable cir
cumstance occurred on Monday night, after
an auction sale of household furniture, at
the village of Great Ousebourne, in this
county. The auctioneer and his clerk re-
tired to bed in the same room, leaving some
company below, who, not so much fatigued
as the auctioneer, were RECALLING themselves,
and talking over the days purchases. On
sudden, they were alarmed by hearing the
auctioneer calling out from above, (" a going,
going, going )" the company went up stairs
to ascertain what was to be sold at that
hour of the night, when to their utter aston
ishment, they found the auctioneer upon
his legs in the middle of the room, going
through his professional functions with
great zest. He was not at all daunted by
the presence of the company, but went on,
selling the bedding, until he had sold all
the clothes off his clerk and he would have
sold the bed from under him, had he not
been prevented by the by-stanlers. Quilts,
blankets, sheets, pillows, and holsters, all
went in the proper order. In endeavoring
to prevent him from putting the bed up at
auction, he awoke, and found that the pleas
ure he had been enjoying, in selling the
goods around him to the highest bidder"
was but dream.

Mr.. Quincy, the new President of Har-
ward College, left town day or two since,
on visit Of observation and inquiry, as we
understand, to some of the principal col
leges in the United States. His object is
doubtless to examine the internal police and
discipline of these institutions, that he may
be able to enter upon the administration of
Harvard with all the advantages such an
investigation can give him. The Universe
tty at Charlottesville, virginia. it is said will
be the first object of his inquiry.

SUPERSTITION OF SEAMEN. The New

lar instance of the superstition of seamen.

pressed his conviction that storm which
arose was an especial evidence of the wrath
of Heaven against him, and that the divine
vengeance could only be propitated by his
Notwithstanding all the efforts made to dis
suade him from his purpose or prevent its
execution. When the ship was returning
to New York, storm of considerable vio-
lence arose, which called forth all the su-
perstition of the mariners, and cry became
universal, that she would go down unless
" Sans" chest was thrown overheard. A
Scotchman was among the most bigoted
portion of the crew; and having more
dread of the elements than of the Captain,
he by some means or other procured the
chest of poor" SAM" and entombed it in
the grave of its owner. The storm almost
Immediately abated-calmness reigned up
on the face of the waters, and fine breeze
waited the ship to the mouth of the harbor

pltious; and squall from the land drove
them off the coast. Discomfort again mani
tested its influence, and general search
took place to ascertain whether any thing
belonging to the suicide, remained on
board. After the forecastle had been duly
searched, an old shoe was discovered and
hastily yielded up as sacrifice to Eolus.

brought them into port: the whole scene,
without doubt, confirming their minds in the
superstition they had cherished

The wife of an inhabitant of small town

that she had died from i'll usage, and the
husband was taken up and put upon his
trial for mansiaughter On the trial the
husband called several witnesses to prove
that he had never beaten his wife, except
upon very crest provocation, and that the
deceased, from her temper, required whole
some correction. Two surgeons swore that
the death was natural, and that it had not
at all been fastened by unkind treatment

been needlessly dragged before tribunal
of justice. When the clerk of the court
went to the foreman to inquire if the jury
were agreed on their verdict, the foreman
