REMARKABLE CONVERSION.

The sudden conversion of four hu!,dreo
Tyroeans Of the ZillerlhM from the Caiho
lie to the reformed faith, has been brought
about, it is said, in the following manner:
A traveller in the Tyrol left with his host a
copy orthe Bible which passed from hand
to hand-at first from notions Of curiosity,
but afterwards for the purpose of daily
reading. The result was, that no fewer
than 400 persons renounced the Catholic
aud adopted the Protestant faith. The
Government Of Vienna sought to conslrain
them either to renounce their newly adopt.
ed faith, or to emigrate into Transylvania,
the only province Of the empire where the
existence Of seeding sects is allowed.
The Tyroleans, however, protested against
a compulsory emigration. and imp!ored the
protection of the king Of Prussia. 1t is in
consequence of this appeal, that NJ. Strauss
has been sent from the court of Prussia on
a mission 10 Vienna 10 negotiate all arrange.

THE SHORT CUT.

Of some miles ia parish where he had uev.

turnpike road, till he had to call at. A man
in smock. frock, orwbom he inquired the
distance, told him 10 take the short cut
across the fields, and he would save half a
mile by il. The short cut was taken, when
presently he came 10 two paths, and not
knowing which to choose, he proceeded
along the wrong one. Soon after this he
came to lane which hrauchcd Off in oppo.

worse by going farther as;ray. A: last cor.

obliged to 60 all the way back again to the
turnpike road, saying TO himsclf--"CatcE'

The present seems to be a season OF re-
vval among many of the churches Of
Eastern Virginia. There is still lively
interest in spiritual things manifested by
the people residing in the neighborhood' Of
Four Niles Creek. Between 40 and so
have been received for baptism in that
church, most Of whom have already fol-
lowed their Lord in that institution. The
same may be said in relation 10 Deep
P..a church. AT he New Bridge church,
near Richmond, most interesting meeting
las just closcd--morc than fifty there have
protesscd allegiance to the King of saints.
In the Bear Swamp church, there is also a
lively state Of things.
We hear that in the counties Of Ma
,hews, Prince Edward, Charlotte, and
Cu!peper, the Lord is bestowirg season
Of refreshing from his presence. In the
last named couaty,the camp.meeting which
closed on the 25th ut., was attended with
mos, beneficial resul s. Several brethren
in the ministry were engaged, during the
eight days Of its continuance, in publish.
ing the glad ,idings Of The Kingdom, while
the truth accompanied by the Spirits power,
was the means OF subdung many hearts.
From Broaddis we learn, that seventy or
eighty were the subjects OF conversion.
The most perfect order reigned throughout
the mce;ng-not single circumstance
occurred to mar the engagement Of the

II ls well known that very considcral le
portion Of the inhabitants OF { bina dwell in
floating houses-or rather in boats. with
large and Convenient cabins-where men,
women and children may be seen in abun.
dance. having no other home and gaining
slender livelihood by some occupation that
does not require res sdence on terra firma.
In the neighborhood Of Canton, many ofthc
owners of.hese movable dwellings,, employ
themselves in rearing ducks. md the saga.
city which these animals exhibit is remsrka.
bic.
Every morning they are allowed to leave
their habitation, and indulge in their acqua.
tic amusenlen:s; and sometimes five or six
hundred Of these noisy creatures arc seen
sporting on these floating duck pens. They
never stray far from their houses-and fhe
sound ofa little tingling bell seems 10 pro.
duce upon them magical effect. The mo.
men, the first sound Of the bell is heard, the
ducks hasten towards their home with as
,onishing swif,ness, and the commo:ion thus
ins'antaneously produced in their ranks, is
amusing enough each orc apparently anx-
ious to outs.rip his companions in the race
and such IL scene ofshoving. swimming.
flying and cabling, is seldom seen among
ducks in any par, Of The world, than in Chi
m. This prompt obedience on the part Of
those stupid water fowls, is the resul, of edu.
caion--and the means used, although ex.
ceelingly efficient, arc very s;n;'lc. The
last duck which reaches the boat, is invaria-
bly, seized by the duck. master.g general, and
is compelled to undergo severe drubbing,
with bamboo caEc-and the fear Of this
Punishment which they a-e exceedingly de.
srous to avoid. ensures tie mos, perfect
order and obedience among these animals,
which have been considered among the

The mode of managing ducks, is some.
