 The outrsges thus perpetrated ny these cruel rufians were not sufficient, 1t seems. to satisfy their blood thirsty cravings. About midnight on Wednesday,. or between that hour and one o'clock yesterday morning, they surrounded lhe office where Mir. Watson was lying wounded. and after breaking open the ! door they deliberately murdered blm. in most barbarous and shocking manner. the back of his head being cut open and the brains scattered about Mr. William Messer, one of Mr. W.'s assistants. and who was present in the office when the attack On 1t was made, was dragged out and shot dead Another Of the snperintendents, MT. - Gallon, was also shot dead, his corpse having been found yes terday morning, at a short distance from the office. Several other persons were injured. but none we believe dangerously.
 The miscreants, after the murders. pro ceeded to rob the premises. hut we learn were defeated in their main purpose by the presence ofmind of Mir. Smith, the clerk, who secured all the money except small sum in specie, and effected his escape.

NATURAL HISTORY.

Among the curious facts recently re.
corded In the country papers which pro
perly come under this head, we find q
notice Of sheep with four horns, each
about II inches in length, two shooting
out horizontally. the others growing
round the face, in the possession Of =
carrier At woburn. Mr.. Andrew, Of
rroon. lately shot phoca, measuring
eight feet long and 72 inches round the
body, and weighing about 30 stone. A
pointer bitch 10 Brighton brought forth
IN one litter Of two days continuance,
seventeen puppies. nine whelped the
first day and eight the second. At
the house Of farmer in Drumbo, Ire

where their LEGS ought TO be, and the
third at the point Of the tail: the chicken
is rs lively a. the rest. In the neighbor.

has a line young TURKEY with four legs.
Last week, young sparrow. perfectly
white. was shot near Manchester; the
bird had not a single colored feather a.
bout it. The bull and legs are yellow.
with salmon colorcd eyes. Various ef-
forts had been made TO take it alive in
vain. A wren's nest was some DAYS
ago discovered in a very extraordina-
~ place near Garstang, York. The
tooth OF a harrow had been driven into
a wall, and upon it were hung, from
time TO time, number ofhorses' shoes,
till they formed 4 considerable row.
At the further END Of the cavity form

mcnced building its nest. There is
