A HEN AND KITTENS. We witnessed a curi-
Gus circumstance on Saturday last, to which
we doubt whether the cluck and the .tea, tribes
can furnish parallel. A cat with four young
kittens occupied an open room contiguous TO q
dwelling house, which was frequently visited
by some hens belonging to the same family.
When the kittens were two or three DAYS old.
some of the family on going into the room were
surprised TO see one of the hens folding the kit
tens under her wings, and miss puss living al a
distance, apparently somewhat terrified. On
learning the circumstance, we slept in on Sat
! urday, to see for ourselves The hen was re-
peatedy removed from the kittens, and the cat
put with them, but she would immediately re-
| turn, fly at the cat and pick her head and nose
with such violence, that the cat would be oblip-
| cd to retreat. Sometimes tho hen would pur-
sue the cat clear across the room, and then
hasten back and cover the kittens again. The
cat, though apparently anxious to get at tho
Kittens made but little resistance to the attack
of the hen, would bear her buffetngs patiently
for awhile, till they fell too thick and heavily
upon her, when the terrified creature would fiy
for safety. The hen had neither had chickens
| this season, nor had she been sitting upon
eggs.-POrtiGnd Courier.

COTTON.
We copy the following remarks on the b;.,o-
OF the Cotton plant, and the value of Cotton.
lngton City, by j. Elliot
The history of Cotton in this country. az
hlbIts one of the most striking phenomena
OF the age in which we live. Forty years
since, not one pound of Cotton was export.
ca rom the United States now it amounts
10 SoO'eUO,OOO, out Of the S59,00O,OOO Of
our exports. Then we imported Cotton
from great distance and at high price:
now we drive 1t out of every market in the
world by the abundance, cheapness, and
superiority of American Cotton.
The country of its first cultivation il not
certainly known; it is believed, however. 10

The manufacture and use of Cotton wool
was anterior to history. The Afumm;es Of
ancient Thebes are, down to this dav al
ways found wrapped in Cotton cloth of close
texture, good fabric, and apparent preser.

LONGEVITY OF VEGETABLES The vital prin-
cipal Of vegetables, il is we'll known, may DO
preserved for great length of time but the
following instance, which we find mentioned
in an abstract of lecture delivered in London
by professor of Botany, seems scarcely credi-
BILE. 1t is stated that Dubious root, which was
found in the hand of an Egyptian mummy, and
in which situation it had very probably been
on exposure TO the atmosphere, though when
discovered, it was apparently in state of per-
feet diyness. The root, it is said, was subse-
quently put into the ground, where il grew
with readiness and vigor.
