QUEBEC.

Toget an idea Of Quebec, imagine a
mountain range at right angles with the
river, coming within a few rods Of the
bank, and there presenting wall of solid
rock more than 300 feet in heighth-its
summit crowned with wall and impos-
ing Qualifications while at the end and on :
the northern side from the base to the
top, lies the city. To US it had quite
martial appearance. We walked in front
OF the soldiers who came with us, as they
marched to lively air through the streets,
and at every corner we passed soldier at
his station. Our course was first through
an arched way, in the low row Of Govern
ment stores, which lie along the banks Of
the river, then by narrow winding street
through gate TO the Upper town, AN as
cent as steep as that Of the worst hills
where roads are made in New-E England
and at last we entered the new barracks
on the top of the hill. We approached
passes about them by streets, dug Is or
~ feet below the surface of the ground,
and walled on each side with hewn stone.
The barracks are now in progress, and
when completed, will accommodate 10, 900
troops. They are made of two parallel
walls of hewn stone, 40 or so feet apart,
with an arched roof OF brick between
them, making rooms below, while the top
is covered with earth and neatly tuffed
with gravelled walks extending from one
end to the other. The walls rise 3 orb
teet above this covering, and the pipes
from the stoves below pass through them.
The upper row of stores project over the
rest like the caves Of house, and this
with the doors and windows, which open
to the south, and the square columns which
project from the walls, give the whole the
appearance of neat and uniform architect
ure. The stone are raised from the river
height of 345 feet by means of steam
railway. On the brow of the precipice
is the Citadel, and near it are a number
OF vast cannon, pointing over the walls,
with wheels at the inner end of their car
riages, SO that they can be directed in a
moment, SO as to sweep any point of the
river far above or below. The Heights
of Abraham, famous in history for the he
rock death of Wolf, and the battle be-
tween the English and the French, are
on the summit of the hill some distance
back of the city, and are now used as a
race ground. The walls are nearly three
miles long, with five gates and divide the
upper town from the lower and the sub
urbs. They are 20 or 30 feet high, and
a or 5 thick, and filled on the inner side
to within few feet of the top with terra
ces for working the cannon and other
purposes. Around the whole circuit OF
I the walls, at short distances from each
other, are embrasures with heavy cannon
mounted or lying near. 1t is fortress Of
the first order, and if properly defended,
! it would seem impossible to reduce it
except by starvation, or stratagem. The
Cathedral, though not SO large as that at
Montreal, is more massive in its internal
structure, and has much greater profu-
sion of gliding and costly ornament.

WONDERFUL WOLF HUNT.

During the last winter, great loss hav.
ing been experienced in the southern
towns of Genesee county, from the ,depre-
dations of wolf, large company of
sportsmen were rallied, on the 18th of
February last, for the purpose of destroy
ing him. Foremost in the pursuit, was a
son of Benjamin Howle, Esq, of Caledo-
MIA, a lad Of Is years of age, who had dis
tanced his companions nearly mile,
when he discovered the wolf making his
way ahead, over piece of rising ground
with his utmost speed Applying his
whipto his horse, he soon overlook and
passed him just as he was on the eve of
entering an almost impenetrabIe swamp.
Having diverted the wolf from his course,
and being without fire arms, he tried at
first to run his horse on him in order to
disable and impede him. until he could be
dispatched. But the horse, less coura-
geous than his rider, shrinking from a
contest with so ferocious an enemy, the
boy dsmounted, took off rope halter,
thrust it into his bosom, and followed on
foot. Again overtaking the wolf, who
was plentifully gorged with the flesh of
the animals which he had devoured, and
nearly exhausted, he seized him by the
tail with both his hands, and, with his feet
well braced, held him fast. He continu-
ed thus for some minutes, waiting for his
companions, when the wolf, having re-
covered in some measure from his excess
sive fatigue, turned round to attack him.
The boy, with an intrepidity rivalled on
" in the battle of Decatur with >barbar-
ousfoe of mother kind, seized his antago-
mist by the nape of the neck with his right
hand. having still hold of the tail with his
left, the one whirling round the other four
or FIVE times. till the boy fell uppermost.
The wolf being nearly covered in deep
snow, the boy bore down on his neck with
his right foot, to prevent his biting, and
succeeded in tying one of his hind legs
with halter to a small tree. He then
with leap placed himself out of his reach.
Breaking off a sapling, which was the
best weapon he could procure, he beat
him on the head until the blood gushed
from his nostrils. The WOLF after several
unavailing attempts to extricate himself,
was madened TO desperation, exhibiting so
frightful an appearance as for moment
to daunt the courage Of the boy. and make

From the Boston Gazette,

An adjourned meeting Of citizens from
all parts Of the State, to take into further
consideration the subsisting relations be-
tween the State Of Georgia and the Indi-
ans within her territorial limits, was held
at the State House, in Boston, on Mon
day evening, 9Th inst.
A Memorial to Congress was presented
by the chairman of the Committee ap-
pointed at the former meeting, after the
reading Of which, the meeting was ad-
dressed by the Hon. Mr.. Choate of Salem,
who, in an impressive and eloquent man
ner, explained the obligations which the
United States were under to protect the
Indians in the peacefulpossession of their
lands-rapidly glanced over the various
treaties which had been entered into be-
tween our Government, and the Chero-
KEGS and enforced the duty which we
are under to do all in our power to pro-
tect from violation the plighted honour Of
our country. He exposed the attempt
which has been made by the Georgians to
legislate the Indians out of their lands
read extracts from their law of 1928
which prohibits an Indian from being, in
a Court Of Justice, party to suit, or
a witness against white man, and con-
Guided by moving the acceptance of the
Memorial.
He was followed by the Hon. L. Salton-
stall Of Salem, who examined infinitely,
and more at large, the language Of some
Of the Indian treaties, and showed clearly
that they had invariably, down to the pres
ent time, been recognized by our Govern
ment as an independent nation. He
read some statistical extracts showing the
advance which the Cherokees have made
towards civiization-depicted in glowing
terms the injustice which has already
been done to them, and the certain ruin
which must result from their removal be-
yond the Mississippi.
After Mr.. s. had concluded, the ques-
ton was proposed on the acceptance oil
the Memorial, and it was unanimously &C
cepted.
Mr.. Worcester of Amherst then pre-
scented two resolutions expressive of the
generalviews of the meeting, and recon-
mending to the various towns in the Com
onwealth to hold meetings, and memorial
ize Congress on the subject of the Indi-
ans, These resolutions were accompani-
ed with some very pertinent remarks by
Mr.. w.
Mr.. Shaw, of Lanesboro' seconded the
resolutions and remarked, that he had
come to the meeting with strong preju-
dices against interfering in the domestick
affairs Of Georgia, and with many misgiv-
ings that the ground which is generally
assumed in w-Engand on this subject
was untenable but the able and learned
arguments Of his friends from Salem had
fully convinced him that he had erred. He
hoped the resolutions would pass, and that
the people of the Commonwealth would
be made to see and feel that the interests
of humanity, and the honour Of the coun-
try, demand from them the adoption Of
vigorous measures in aid of the oppressed
and prosecuted Indians.
The resolutions were adopted, and the
meeting was dissolved.

Uncle Sam and his son were one day
returning from their labours in the field

drove the team, and, as he frequently
manifested very unfarmer-Rke want Of
tact in managing his cattle, his father
thought it necessary. when they came to
the gate which closed the entrance, to the
farm yard, to give him word Of caution.

keep up their credit, and was only kept in

IN Belchertown, who have from time to
time advanced it money, and to whom all
the notes of the Bank are pledged as se-
curity. Notwithstanding these embar-
easements, dividend Of three per cent
was declared last April, when the Bank
was really insolvent, and the stockholders
were indebted to the Bank, for greater
amount than the nominal value Of their
shares. The committee state. that they
could find no satisfactory account of this
dividend, the books of the Bank contain

owes one hundred and sirty.one thousand

The CHOICE OF WIFE. The whole
secret Of choosing well in matrimony may
be taught in three words, viz :-explore
the character. A violent love fit is always
the result of ignorance for there is not
daughter of Eve that has merit enough 10
justify romantick love. though thousands
and thousands may reasonably inspire that
gentle esteem, which is infinitely better.
A woman worshiper and woman hater
both derive their mistakes from their ig-
norance of the female world; for if the
character Of women were thoroughly UNI
derstood, they would be found too good 10
be hated, and yet not good enough to be
idoized. -Christian Spectator.
