SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.

Last week, we took passage in the Steamer
Rushlight, at Newport, for Providence, and when
about half way above the bar, a general alarm
was spread among the passengers, by the piercing
cries of a lady who said that a worm or some other
kind of insect had crept into her ear. As the la
DIV was somewhat sea-sick, and had kept her birth
and probably fallen into an imperfect repose-
and as she was evidently terrified lest the boiler
of the boat should explode, it was at first sup
posed that all was imaginative, and the result oil
an historical affection. She, however, contlnu-
ed her cries of distress, and appeared to be In the
most excruciating agony. At this moment Mr..
Amos Briggs of this town, was informed OF the
lady's situation, and having obtained a tnmbler OF
liquor at the bar of the boat, he proceeded to The
cabin, and prevailed on the lady to suffer HIM
to drop the liquor into her ear, he succeeded In
relieving the anguish which she endured. lie
had not infused more than four or five drops be-
fore a bug, almost an half inch long made his APP
! pearance on the surface of the ear, and thus was
the distracted sufferer relieved from the most eX-
cruciating anguish, and the most horrid anticIpat-
ed death. But for the presence OF mind which
was thus evinced, the lady in all probability would
have soon died, er become a victim OF INSANITY;
and Mr.. Biggs is entitled to the thanks OF the lady
and her friends for the happy effect. his presence
of mind so readily produced. The incident is
worth remembering. and is entitled TO the recol-
lection of all. as its preservation may lead to
beneficial results.-PrOridelce Literary SUB.

A singular instance of the effects OF lightning,
which occurred in Columbia county, Geo. is thus
described in the Augusta Courier:-as a Miss
Smith was riding on horseback, with small negro
behind her & in company withanother female, they
we're overtaken by a storm, in which the lightning
sruckher on the forehead, bove the ten | cutting
a terrible cash completely to the bone. The tu-
id then passed on to her shoulder and down her
side, to the horse on which she rode, which was
killed instantaneously. She was struck down.
together with the negro who rode behind her, and
so were the other female and horse. All, ex-
cepting Miss Smith and her horse soon rose, per,
fectly recovered: but she continued in a state OF
insensibillty for two or three days, and it was
considered doubtful that she would recover, or
retain her senses if she did. The instance of
lightning cutting the flesh is quite novel, & it Is;
not little remarkable. that she, who was struck first
should have survived at all, while the horse to
which the fluid afterwards passed was killed in
stantly. Much of her bonnet and clothes were
torn up into the very finest kind Of lint.

Fighting on my oaUa hOOk."-At the battle
Of Yorktown, whilst the aids of the American
chief were issuing his orders along the line, a
man was discovered short distance from it who pre-
sented rather grotesque appearance, belngdressed
iii coarse common cloth worn ut the time by the
lower orders in the back country, with an otter
cap, the shape of which very much resembled
the steeple of a meeting house, and a broad leath-
er apron. His equipments consisted OF a bag,
partly filled with powder, and an old rusty gun,
which measured about seven feet eight inches,
from the muzzle to the end of the breeCh, and
which lad probably lain in the smoke ever since
the landing Of the pilgrims. One of the aids pas
sing him in the course of his rounds, inquired Of
him to what regiment he belonged. 81 bclon :
to no regiment" said the fellow after he had fr
ed mis- "long carabine." A few Moments after
the officer rode by again; but seeing the fellow
very busy. sweating with e~xertiOn, he once more
inquired to what regiment he belonged. "to no
regiment was the answer, the speaker at the
same time l~evelling his piece at a "red %coat,'
who was preparing to fire, but who dropped dead
before he had half raised his gun."-tTo what
company do YOU belong ?" "to no company
TO what battalion do you belongs"-'sTo no
battilion''-" Then where the ID do you be-
long. or who are you fighting for?'-s.Dang ye,"
(said the fellow 81 don't belong any where, 4

"Cm a Stick."-The> :" Independent News
Letter." a Van Buren, paper. quite recently got
up in Cleaveland Ohio was one of the papers
selected by the cunning Secretary, for publishing

newly created and rewarded paper, has "cut a

prosecution for forgery! Bal. Patriot.
Indian Corn in England.-The New England
Farmer remarks that Goblet boosted a great
deal of his crop of Indian corn: but late English
publications state that almost all attem, t. to cul-
tivate this kind of grain have been abortive; and
that it seems to be proved that the climate of
England is not fit for the growth of this vegeta-
bic.

Confusion worse cOntomded.-The Augusta
Courier contains a specimen of a s.Cracker Die
tionary,' which makes us acquainted with some
very curious terms in use among the Southern
Cockneys. AT the head of the list we find the
following words:-Bodaceously C~atawampously,
Contraption, &c. The definitions, in some in.
stances. convey to US of the north, a not very
clear idea Of the meaning. "Ramsquaddled."
for instance, is SAID to mean ''Rowed up salt
rlver." We are as much puzzled at this, as the
Frenchman was by DIR. Johnson's definition of
net, whichhe explained as sc reticulated square,
with intersttial vacuities."-N T. Eve. Post.
