COMMUNICATED

A Great Curiosity-A few days since, gen.
tleman residing in the vicinity of this city pur
chased several well grown Hogs; and being
about moving time, when fat pork is peculiarly
grateful to the knights of the scythe, he directed
one of the above hogs to be slaughtered, which
happened to fall to the lot of good looking
sow. On opening the animal, it was discover
ed, for the first time, that she was with young.
This circumstance led to more minute exa-
mination,- when there were found within her
ten well shaped pigs perfect as they should be-,
together with an animal having perfect re-
semblance to an elephants head, instead of that
OF hog. The head and countenace is not on
ly like that of the elephant with the proboscis
in its proper place, but has only one eye, which
is very brilliant and placed directly in the cen
tire of the forehead. The body, ears and TAIL
also correspond to those of the elephant This
singular production Of Nature was presented to
the Alexandria Museum, IN good order, on the
day it was. dscovered-has been duly preserv-
ed-and is well worth the attention of the ma
turalist and the curious.

u#r Capt. Berry, Of the brig John Alexan-

authorities having suspicion that Capt. Baker
had false coin on board, seized his brig and had
her discharged-found all her cargo was entered
on the manifest. There was 25 boxes soap on

soap, the captain was fined 800 milreas, and

Water Spout.-A violent storm of wind and
rain visited Charleston on the Both ult. in the
afternoon, and continued until the next morn
ing, when an unusually large water spout made
its appearance in the bay, near Fort Johnson,
and passed up Cooper river. The appearance
is said to have been very magnificent, and
though it did come in actual contact with any
of the shipping, it caused ship in the stream
near which it passed to heel considerably. The
storm during the night was accompanied by the
appearance of fire balls and other electrical
phenomena.
