CURIOSITY Frances Kelsly, of Lockport,
showed us yesterday afternoon what he calls a
natural curiosity, but which We think the great
est artificial curiosity that We have seen for
long time. Ii is glass tumbler full of honey,
wrought up in comb OF most curious construc-
ton, and at the same time leaving the glass per-
fectly transparent He has. We understand at
No. 90 Mulberry street. a number Of these most
singular specimens of natural art, if we may
be permitted to use the seeming solecsm that
really mes nearest description ofthem. He
has with him Sswarms Of Bees in glass hives each
containing several apartments, in which the bees,
by his experience &skiIl, were compelled to work.
Mr.. Kelsey has been engaged for years in the
management Of the Honey Bee, and has at
length completely succeeded in controlling their
operations as he pleases. His exhibition will
convince any one, he says, that the opinions of
naturalsts as to the habits and customs Of the
bee, have been heretofore erroneous On the
whole, it is very great curiosity-and such
one as Virgil never dreamed ON y Cour.

HoRRID MuaDER-The following account of a
most dreadful transaction has been communi-
Gated to us in letter, dated
"CEDAR SHoAL, CD, Is. c. Nov. l6
"The circumstances attending the death of
Captain Rodman, together with another neigh
Dor, MIR. VIM. Walker, are, perhaps, the most
outrag acts Of human butchery ever perpe-
trated in any country. They are briefly as fol-
lows.-On Wednesday evening, the 18th inst,
John G Ferguson young man of this vicinity,
went to the store Of Capt. Rodman to trade him
a small bag of cotton which he did, and in the
settlement there was a small balance Of change
due Ferguson, which it was not convenient for
Capt Rodman to make at that time. Ferguson
became enraged, and swOre that if he did not
pay him then, he would sue him. At this time
Mr. Walker (who. with another man, were
the only persons presently observed to Fergu
son, not to make himself uneasy abont the
change, that Rodman would pay him shortly
Ferguson Immediately laid hold of Walker,
threw him down, and was beating him severely
when Capt. Rodman got over the counter and
separated them. Ferguson then drew out his
knife, when Capt Rodman retreated back over
the counter-in doing which, he received a stab
in the side from Ferguson, and one in the ARM
which proved mortal in 4S hours after Fergu-
son then turned upon Walker, who had got up
and was sitting on the counter and plunged
his knife into Walkers left temple up to the
handle, as appeared afterwards when the knife
was found. Walker survived but "a hours
Ferguson made his escape, and has yet elud-
ed his pursuers. Thus have this community
been deprived of two respectable citizens, by
the hand of worthless assassin"

no efficient measures have been adopted by the

muster a sufficient force and drive every Irish

CAPTAIN BAcK-OficiaI information from
Capt Back, is published in the London Morn
ing Chronicle Of the latest date. The Captain
and his party were all well, with the exception
of Augustus, the EsqumauX interpreter, who had
accompanied Sir John Franklin on both his
iournes, and was now despatched by the Hud-
sons Bay company TO join this third enterprise,
but persisted by the way. The winter had, in
deed been extraordinarily severe. We have
had" says Captain Back, " most distressing
winter in this more than Siberian solitude, where
desolation reigns in unbroKen repose. Even
the animals have fed from US, as it were by in
stinct, and many, very many OF the unhappy
natives have fallen victims TO famine in stua-
tons the most revolving to human nature. The
fish also, on which in some measure relied,
left US; in places which we were told never be-
fore failed, We have not caught fish; and du-
ring the whole season scarcely living creature
has been seen, except on one occasion raven,
which in wheeling over the house startled me
with his croak, so uniformly was the silence
around u.s. ran out, but when it saw me it
screamed, and again made off 10 the Western
Mountain in the dark shade OF which 1t was
speedily lost"
A letter from the hardy adventurer, under
date OF the 25th, says-"I have this moment
received your despatch, with an account OF
Ross's return. | am all gratitude and happi-
ness NV heart is too full to write; but shall
pay attention to all that is recommended to me:
of this assure the Committee. What triumph
in this return of Ross's to us all, who hoped
against hopcr And what do the croakers say!
will they acknowledge the lesson afforded by
it Of the power Of stubborn perseverance, &c.
II is expected that the captain and his whole
party will set forward on their return in the
spring.
