The following circumstance happened
in Hara mainland Of Orkney. An eagle
bearing away hen CHANGED to pass over
house, in the vicinity of which was pig
with litter. Thinking nice fat pig a
better prize than lean hen, the eagle
dropped the latter, and attacked the pigs,
but to no purpose, for they ran up to the
old lady. who defended them courageous
ly and effectually. In the mean time the
hen made her escape into the house. The
eagle, having forgotten that bird in hand
is worth two in the bush, looked blue, and
spreading his sails, moved slowly. away.
The hogs, whichrun wild in the hills Of
Hoy, when attacked by dogs, defend
themselves by collecting and forming a
circle, in this manner presenting an armed
front in all directions to their antagonist.
Pig-styes are made in the hills with
turf, Of conical form, with hole at
the top. A pig happened to be left in
one by mistake, and, being unable to get
out, died in due time. An eagle passed
over the stye, and peeping in, spied car
cass, upon which he descended through
the hole and feasted gloriously. This ca

NEW TOWNS in PENNSYLVANIA.

We are authorized to announce that all
the stock of the Little Schuylkill Naviga-
ton Railroad and Canal Company is taken,
that the railroad will be commenced forth
with, and completed as speedily as men and
money can accomplish it. On the 10th ult.
two towns were laid out under the direction
of committee of the board of managers of
said company one at the junction of the
Little and Big Schuylkill, at the termination
of the railroads, called Port Clinton, and
the other in the centre of those coal lands
between Sharp and Locust Mountain, called
Tomaqna four miles distant from the Mauch
Chunk Mines, and four from the town OF
,Tuscarora
In few days lots and landings in those
towns will be offered for sale at moderate
prices. The situation Of Port Clinton needs
no recommendation, as glance at the mar
will convince any person of reflection thai
at no distant period all the principal rail
roads of Schuylkill County will terminate al
this point.
The town of Tomaqua is located on the
west side of Little Schuylkill, between the
main railroad, from Port Clinton to the foo
of the Broad Mountain, and the great Gaia
wissa River, which will be intersected by
lateral railroad from the main branch pass
ing directly through the town. The loca
ton, with the advantages the company pos
sess of making it the centre of the mimi,
operations Of the extensive coal tracts i
that region, will insure to it decided pref
erence over any other town that may be lai
out in its immediate vicinity.
Arrangements are making for the imme
date erection of from 40 TO so dwelling
houses in the town Of Tomoqua, which wi
be sold or let by the superintendent of tn
company, who will reside on the premise.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

We before reported the loss of the sloop
William, Swain, of Nantucket, at Sandy
Bay, and the rescue of Mrs. Haden, wher
life was almost extinct; and we now give
the following particulars obtained from
Captain Swain, in conversation this
morning. He states that finding himself
embayed in the gale, with the mainsai torn
in pieces, and that it was impossible to
escape being driven on shore, he had no
alternative but to run her on shore for the
better chance of saving the lives of those
on board. As soon as she struck, the sea
rolled over her, and each sought his own
safety on the beach. Capt. S. was the last
who remained on the deck, and then
sprang to the cabin to make an effort to
save Mrs. Haden, who was in birth in a
state room but no sooner had he reached
the cabin floor than sea knocked off the
skylight hatch, and the water poured down
SO rapidly that he was obliged to seek his
own safety by an immediate retreat to the
deck, and thence with difficulty TO the
shore abandoning Mrs. II. TO her fate.
The sloop quickly beat out her bottom up
to the wales, and the cargo hoated to the
shore.
As soon as the tide had ebbed sufii-
ciently, the crew boarded the wreck to
save what effects they could; hut Capt.
S. first ordered them to get out the corpse
of Mrs. H., as all thought she must have
persisted but on reaching the quarter
deck they heard groans. A faint hope of
saving her life now animated every one,
and they forthwith began cutting hole
through the deck but on getting to the
ceiling, and fearing an accidental blow
from the axe might extinguish what little
of life remained, they desisted, and the
tide by this time having partly ebbed from
the cabin, they descended through the
skylight and took thence to the deck the
cold and senseless body of Mrs. H. who
had remained in that perilous situation
nearly three hours. She was taken to a
neighbours house medical assistance
was promptly obtained, and her restoration
effected. The bed and birth board on
which she lay were buoyed up by the
water, SO that she was pressed close to the
ceiling of the cabin, and how it was pos
sible for her to survive in that situation
for such length of time, with the sea
continually overfowing the wreck, must
excite the establishment and wonder of all.
Mrs. Haden is respectable lady of Nam
tucket, GA years Of age, and was coming
to this city on visit to her daughter. She
arrived here this morning quite recovered.

MuTToN.Y.

A gentleman at one of our city board
ing houses, after retiring to bed one night.
had his nose strongly assailed by the smell
OF roasted mutton. He turned upon The
other side but sill the same fleshly odonr
followed him. He buried his head under
the bedclothes, but the smell grew strong
err He brought his nose 70 the free air
once more but the air of the whole room
seemed to be more or less impregnated
with the same odour. From whence could
it proceed ? He surely had not taken
lodgings in the pantry, instead Of the bed
room. And yet the muiton-ous smell al
most persuaded him that such mistake
was possible. He, however, managed, af-
ter various turnings and shiftings, to get
into sort of uncomfortable browse, in
which he dreamed all night Of carrying
sheep on his back, and hearing it cry,
baa ! baa Accusing from his dreamy
state, as soon as it was light, he got up to
reconnoitre the premises, and ascertain
the cause Of the deadly smell. He look
ed into closet attached to his bedroom,
he opened the drawer of his dressing ia
BILE, he peeped under the bed-but all to
no purpose. At last, he bethought him of
looking in the bed itself when, 10, instead
Of finding quarter of roasted mutton, he
found he had been quartered between two
table-cloths, which. with the greasy col
lections of a whole week, were placed on
his bed to serve their turn in the capacity
of sheels.-N. Y Constellation.

THE STORM OF ITO.

We stated, in our last paper, that the
late gale drove in the tide foot higher
than it had been known to rise here
1t appears however that the great tide OF
I77O. an account of which we have given
below, from the papers ofthat day, was a.
bout foot higher than the late flood
We have learned this from an intelligent
merchant of this town, whose store was
overAowed by the tide Of ITO. He mark
ed the height of the water, and afterwards
raised the store above that level. He has
compared the two tides, and found that o.

twelve inches.-Salem Observer.
