When Andrew Dunlap, Mayor of the good old city of Dundee, died, his exeeu- tors resolved to appropriate to their own pc euliar benefit, the provision contained in a Godicil. which bequeathedto to the franer of an epitaph which should be endorsed upon his tombstone, the good round sum of ihif- " pounds Scotch. The executors wisely concluded that, to entitle them to an equal division of s'the spoils, the epitaph should be the joint product of their united inspita- tion5 and consequently, they (there were tieree of them3 voted, that an epifaph, prop Ter, should consist in a well aFransedffipie6s and heretofe, under the peeuiarlties of the case, 1t was quite proper that each executor should contribute a line er tenpore.

In grappling for lost anchor in the Hud- son river, little below West point, num- Der of links were brought mp, which formed part of the great chain stretched across the Hudson river during the revolutionary war, to prevent the British fieets from passing up tu West Point. The number of links re- covered is fifty one; they are said to be over foot each in length, and averaging from thirty to thirty five pounds each in weight. They are supposed to have di- unfinished one third in size and weight by corosion, and were raised with difficulty, in consequence of their close adhesion to the bottom. They were so imbedded with the rocks below, that it took three days hard pulling to bring them up, and large stones adhered to them, some weighing from Is to 20 pounds each. The 5l links weighed 15o0 lbs. 4 certificate of these facts is published in the New York papers, and one of the links has been presented to the New ' orl naval lycculn.-Bdit. .91lericaa.

Mount Tesuvius.-The most afllict-
ing details ola recent eruption OF Mount
Vesuvius have reached US. In former
account we stated that in August an e.
ruption had taken place, which, on the
evening of the 25th, began to subside.
On the 9th, 2Sth, and 29tb, new era
tiers opened, and produced ravsges aw-
full to contemplate. Thousands Of
families were flying from their native
land, old and young, dragging through
heavy masses Of heated cinders. Eff
teen hundred honses, palaces, and 9TH
er buildings, and $500 acres Of land,
have been destroyed by fire. The vii.
lage Of St. Felix had been already aban.
doned.
The lava soon poured upon this
place, and in the course of an hour,
houses, churches, and palaces, were all
destroyed. Four villages, some de.
tached houses, country villas, vines,
beautiful groves, and gardens, which a
few instants before presented magnii.
cent spectacle, now resembled a sea Of
FIRE.
On the third instant, nothing but
stones and ciuder were elected and ev-
cry prospect existed Of the eruption be.
ing 5000 at close. The palace Of the
Prince of Attayauno, and 500 acres Of
his land, are utterly destroyed. The
cindsrs fell during on entire night over
NapSks, and il the lava had taken tina,
direction, there would have been an
end to that city, Foreign p aper.

Why does it Lightens
Because of the accumulation of cleo.
trieity in the clouds I; hence it is, in
philosophical parlance called the cleo.
trio fluid.
The discharge Of electricity in thun-
der storm, is sometimes only from cloud
to cloud, sometimes from the earth to
the clouds; and sometimes from the
clouds to the earth, as one or other may
be positive or negative. When aqueous
vaper is condensed, the clouds formed
re usually more or less electrical ard
aI,e earth beisw them being brought in-
20 an opposite state, . discharge takes
place when the clouds approach within
a certain distance, constituting light
ning.--Brande.
WV does it Thunder
Because of the undulation of the air,
produced by the electric discharge just
mentioned /; thunder being more or less
intense, and Of longer or shorter dura-
ton according to the quantity of air
acted upon, and the distance ofshe place
where the report is heard from the point
Of the discharge.
MIR. Brande, from who we quote this
explanation, gives further illustration
Of this idea "Electrical effects take
place in no sensible time: 1t has been
found that discharge through cir
cult Of four miles is instantaneous but
sound moves at the rate Of about twelve
miles in minute. Now, supposing the
lightning to pass through space OF
some miles, the explosion will be first
heard from the point Of the air agita,ed,
nearest to the spectator (; it will gradu.
