with the sure prospect OF meettnS Win
defeat, if not with death: nor did he,
wish them to escape. However, after
considering few moments howto pro-
ceed, with penknife he cut pole fif-
teen or twenty feet in length and leav-
ing his gun at the entrance of the log,
entered the hollow, pole i'm hand.-Wheu
he had proceeded about twenty feet into
the region Of darkness, carefully using
his pole to ascertain that the way was
clear before him, he perceived two large
sparkling eyes glaring upon him. and
heard some feint growlings, plainly de-
monstrating the species and temper Of
their owner. Deeming it imprudent to
make farther researches without the aid
of his gun, which he had left at the en-
trance, he went back, and will, it return
ed to the place where he first discovered
the eyes, intending to fire at them. But
finding he could not take sure aim, ow-
ing to the darkness. although the eyes
were visible, he was obliged to retreat.
He then gathered some old wood and
stopped up the entrance, leaving room
to insert his gun, which he did, and fired
several times, but from the distance, OBJ
structions, or some other cause, without
effect. Leaving his musket at the mouth
Of the log, he then refraced his steps
home for assistace, which he obtained
On going back to the log, he found all
things as they were Ieft.-With axes they
cut into the log, at short distances from
the butt towards the limbs, nearly sixty
feet, when an old wolf was discovered
with several younger ones. As they
were crowded into narrow space, il
was nn easy matter to secure the young
ones, four in number, alive, after the old
one had retreated few feet and was
shot. Mr.. p. informs us that he has two
OF the young ones now in his possession.
Joseph Boneparte.-The Count de
Survilliers, (says the National Gazette)
lately paid visit to Washington. We
are glad to learn that he was received
there by the President and other chief
members Of the government with the +,
kindest and amplest courtesy. They
welcomed him, not rs n political per-
sonage, hut as an enlightened and ami
able gentleman, whose department and
disposition during his residence Of sew
enteen years in our country have enti-
lied him to the esteem and best Offices
Of every American citizen--as one who
had occupied thrones with the spirit 6f
a liberal, and Systematically endeavored
to promote the improvement of the great
body of the people. The oquanimity
with which he has borne the loss of roy
al grandeur, and his long exile from
France, without ali abatemen, of con
Germ in the affairs of the French nation
the respect, regard, just conception
with which he has viewed and represent
ed the institutions, social and political,
of the American repubic--the perfect
adaptation of his feelings and social
habits to those Of American life--tbe
muniiicent and unos,cntatious use which
he has made of his possessions--are
circumstances which indiyidaa,e him in
our nation among sojourners, and in
duce us to make that public mention Of
his character, and such an incident as
his reception at Washington, which we
would avoid in ordinary cases of e. pri-
vate nature.
