and five of the overseers, for forcibly cutting oft
her head of hair. 1t appeared that the plaintiff
had burthened the parish with two illegiinate

measure complained of to despoil her Of her at
fractions, and :: to bring down her pride" The
hair in question was stated to have been a yard

defendants was unjustifiable, and they found q

SINGULAR AFFEcrIox.-The following cir
cumstance was related to us the other day, by a
gentleman of probity and ~veracity. A cat belong
ing to his house had two kittens, a few dayso DID,
taken from her and destroyed. Whereupon puss,
determined to supply the loss as quick as posi-
bic, went into the poultry yard, and caught two
small goslings, which she carried, one at a time,
to the place from whence her kittens had been
taken. This was observed by some member of
the family, who Immediately took the goslings
and restored them again to their natural parent.
Puss, still brooding, as it seems, over her misfOr-
tune, went a second time TO the poultry yard.
caught the goslings again. and carried them, as
before stated, to her bed, where she was now per-
mitted. through the curiosity of the family, to
keep and accompany them for the space of fifteen
or twenty days. In this time one of these Cos
lings was accidently killed by a little boy, and
the other was found with the cat still ty its side.
During the whole of this period, says the gentle
man who related the story to US, Puss manifested
the strongest regard and most watchful attention
towards her adopted progeny.

The amount of stock having been subscribed,
which is required by the law of Maryland, to au-
thorize the organization Of the Company, to i'm
prove tne ROAD from freueTlCktOWn TO ltarper'S
Ferry, the commissioners have advertised a meet
ing of the stockholders, to take place at Newton
Trap on the 10Th inst for the purpose of elect
ing officers, &c.
This information is highly gratifying to those
of our citizens, who have made exertions to car
ry into effect. the act of Assembly, incorporating
a company to construct a road from SmithfeId
to Harper's Ferry in this county. 1t furnishes,
too. an additional inducement, to invest money
in the stock of this company. The probability
that Harper's Ferry will, ere long, be the depot
of a great part of the trade of the Valley of
Virginia.. was of itself sufficient to give import
aace to this undertaking, evenif the road should
extend no farther eastward than Harper's Fer
ry; but the certainty of being met at that place
by our neighbors of MARYLAND. should induce
US to redouble our e~xertiOns in this Enterprise
The stockholders of the Maryland road have
doubtless subscribed with the expectation, that
we will do our part in making the chain of COM
munication between this country and Baltimore.
Shall they be disappointed? The necessity for
for this road every day becomes more apparent,
whilst the events of every day increase the prob
ability that the investment will be profitable.

Heirs of Charlottesville. Irving's abridgment
of his Life of Columbus, contains a note in which
we find the following interesting statements re-
lative to the descendants OF this llIustrious man:
ssWhile this abridgment was going to press,
the author received a letter from Madrid, men
tionlng a recent circumstance, which may be of
some interestto the reader of this. work. The
emancipation of the Spanish colonies in Ameri-
ca had stripped the heirs of Columbus of all their
property, insomuch that his last direct descend
ami and representative, the Duke of Veraguas, a
young nobleman of worth and talent, was reduc-
ed to extreme poverty. He instituted a claim
upon the government for Naturalization, which
has Just been allowed. A pension of twenty
four thousand dollars has been assigned him on
the revenues Of Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t is a
circumstance highly to his credit, that, in the
time of his greatest distress, he refused ums
that were offered him for various documents in
the archives of his family, and particularly for
autographs Of his llustgioas ancestor.
