FENO TOBACCO PLANTERS.-We have understood
Il that report is in circulation in the Tobacco coun-
try that the Inspectors Shock Ware are in the
habit OF making deduction OF per from the
weight OF every hogshead OF Tobacco weighed by them
and that this deduction is made the Public
house in this place. There is mistake in point we
DO not make deduction of per cent, but have
been in the habit OF deducting half per from the
gross weight oil every hogsheadand upon enquiry of the
Inspectors at the Public Warehouse, we find that SIM.
lar deduction is made by them. The why this de-
duc,ion has been made, is this when the Tobacco was
weighed altogether in scales the practice of the
have been introduced in the houses was found by
balancing them, and taking off half per cent the weights
were not better, than giving down weight in the scales
But In future, no deduction will be made BY us.

Animal Sagacity providence and in
st'nct of the honey bee are proverbial, and it is
probable that natural history may yet be en-
riched by further discoveries Of the Character OF
this interesting insect A circumstance was re-
lated to Us yesterday by a gentleman of this
place who has kept bees for near twenty years,
which may, perhaps, go TO show the prescience
preach of winter to kill their drones, that the
producing members of their community may be
the better supplied. The gentleman informs us
that the bees in his hives have made general
slaughter Of drones since the present cold weath'
or commenced, and for few days past, grea
numbers are lying dead outside the hives. TC
the naturalist this may be subject of usefu
speculation, if time shall confirm this supposed

THE GOAT AND TIHE LAnsB.

What misery said a pretty lamb, after he had cropped his full ssf tender grass ! sunny vale, and was reposiug upon a velvet bed of scented clover. sWba, misery IS mine! I am tired of this lazy valley, thus buried from all human observation. Here can neither see nor be seen. They say that Providence has shed equal blessings upon. the beings'he has created. Forsooth, that is very well to talk about, but l will believe as much of ii as please, Bless sings, indeed what blessings Here l am cooped up in a narrow valley, without any prospect, while yonder, ] see goats who are no better than I,enjoying them- selves wonderfully on the preeipices- climbing the lofty crags, and overlooking, for what know, all the world.

 Immediately the discontented animal found himself elevated an immense distance above the plain, where he looked like q sDeck.

A rRur STORY oF OLD TIMEs.

During the revolutionary war, when the British were cruising on the coasts, using every favorable opportunity of landing to destroy property, the militia kept themselves in constant readiness to meet any eaereen- cy. A large company was organized at nlanomet Ponds village seven. miles from.Plymouth. They had frequent train- ings, and were often heard to wish for an opportunity of measuring bayonets with John Bull. About this time crew ot Mar blehead fishermen landed at Manemet one fine morning to wash out cargo of cod. A boy residing in the vicinity, spled them standing in the water m their red shirts, and almost dead with fright, ran to the house of the redoubtable Capt. B., informing him that regiment of red coats were pa- raded on the beach. The captain imme- diately sent his drummers and messengers through the neighborhood, and III fifteen minutes the whole sqaud was under arms.
 The gallant Captain harangued his fellow soldiers; he told them that they were nov
 to fight not only for tbeir lives, but for all which makes life desirable !; for their sweet hearts, their homes. their wives and chil- dren. "Now," said he, is q golden op- portunity. Let us show the world the courage and bravery of the people of Ma nonlet Ponds, and posterity shall rise up

 ExTRAoRDlNARY PHENoMENA.--Y Yes- terday Mr. John Parker, MT. John Rogers. Mir. Archibald Scott, and several other persons, being at the Three Mile House, observed something in the air, which they at first took 10 be mist or fog. but as the evening was very clear they were induced to take more notice of 1t, and by holding .heir hands above the eyes, so as to exclude the rays of the sun, they could distinctly see bodies of insects, apparently of red crimson color. They were in sheets with trains after them, resembling that of comet, each sheet of these insects appear ed by itself, and they were moving in de rection from west the east, about 25 or 30 feet from the earth, and at least 20 yards in width, following each other in flocks like pigeons; they observed the passage of those insects for more than 20 minutes, the sun at the time being more than one hour high.

 TAKING MAN AT HIS WORD. "A friend of ours in travelling through New Hamp- shire, few days since, siopt for the night at the Stage Hotel in celebrated village. He retired to bed early, but could get no sleep till near daylight, in consequence of the noise made by the arrival and departure of.he stages. When the last stage left, he turned himself over in bed and prepared for comfortable snoozes but just as old Nor pheus had seized hold of him, his ears were sauted blythe believing of COW directly under his window, and to use his own ex- pression, 1t sounded like noise made by ten thousand deyils." Finding there was no such thlng as sleep, he arose, and on looking out of the window discovered the object of his wrath, and perceiving a man near by, he said to him, Do for heavens sake kill that COW, and bringme the bill in the morning, and will pay it.o The man took him at his word, and killed the animal On descending to breakfast the first person our friend met was the cow- killer with the bill !-E Eosterf paper.

Now let us onward, and may the man who first turns his back upon the contest be forever branded as d coward" This speech was met with a loud .murmur of applause the pieces were charged, the bayonets fixed, and with shouIdered arms they marched to the pre- ciPitous cliffs which overhung the shore. A hat were their thoughts and feelings on the march we must leave the readerto con jeclure. They doubtless felt the fear which always attends the soldier when going into actual service they thought. of the pain of gun-shot wounds and that some among their number would be cold in the embrace of death ere the sun should reach his nleri- dian. Such thoughts at least fevoiyed in the mind of Captain B. :; but whether these outweighed his lofty ideas Of the pride, pomp and circumstance of glorious war, or whether he doubted the prowess of his tfeops, VIC. cannot ascertain. Certain it is, however, that on arriving at the cliff, below which the fishermen were quietly pursuing their occupation, he instantly turned upon his heel, exclaiming, < There are the red coats let every man take care of him. self" This speech was evidently more welcome than the first; the whole party im- mediately took to flight, not one yenturing to look behind him, until they were snugly intenched in the mud and bogs of Beaver Dam Swamp. -0ld Colony Democrat.
