the Montreal Transcript. 1t relates to Il e
death Ola Mrs. Young Of Crmstowu, OF Tthc
CEatcaHguay River, Canada.
The unfortunate sufferer WAS VIC under.
stand, the widow of Farmer OF that name,
but continued to reside upon the land to de-
rive from il such return as the industry and
labor 0! herself and daughter co:;ld procure.
She rails q uui! cali, on account of his
beauty, which, having been lami.r:zcd
with his mistress ever since his birth, and
having always been fed by her hand, dis.
played Il natural attachment by no means
dispensing to Mrs. Young, whom he fol-
lowed the farm like i dog. The ANNA!
is now 4 little more than two years old. To.
wards the end of last week he had, as usual
accompanied the COWS 10 the homestead ,
and they were fastened in tic COW house,
when Mrs. Young and her daughter pro.
cecdeI ,hi.hcr, 70 milk them. On entering
The bu:lling, the girl proceeded to the far
end, to milk the COW fastened there and,
The loose bull advanced with his usual lami-
liarity to Mrs. Young, who pushed him
aside with the pail she carried in her hand.
The animal Immediately turned upon her,
ard with the first thurst of his horns pcnc-
trated the abdomen, and violently raising
his headrippcd her body in the most shock
ing manner. He Immediately fled 10 the
yard, carrying upon lis horns a small (rag-
ment of the clothing, and a portion of the
rcekine cntrals of his victim here he tos-
scd and shook his head in a most frantic
manner, roaring, returned to make Sc
cond charge upon the lIapless Mrs. Young.
BY this time, however, the daughter had
seized tie pitchfork, with which she GAL
anily faced the animal, and after a long
struggle, and two or three very successful!
sabs at the head Of her antagonist, she
fairly beat him from his purpose. Her
first care was now her unfortunate mother,
who, with such assistance asshe could give

that the surveys for this great work are pro-
cceding with such despatch as promises then
entire completion before Tie meeting OF the

now three brigades Of Engineers extending
the SURVEYS from this place to The mountains.
One of these surveys will connect with the

east side of the Congaree river, and crossing
it in the Fork. This survey viii pass up

line and proceeding upwards.
Another brigade Is surveying lEe which
masses from the junction Of Btaad and Saluda
rivers, opposite to Columbia, on the ridge by
Newberry, Laurens and Greenville. This
line below will probably connect with the
route surveyed by Messrs. DEXTER and DET-
MOLD, under the order Of this Town; or it
NAV unite with Ciark's rou'e down the Fork.
line which nav be conn ,cted with either
ofthe routes below this place, has been sur

mouth of Thicketty, and then on the ridge to
the valley of Green river. And brigade is
now engaged On the survey of line which
leaves the valley route near the mouth OF IL
ger, and will pass by Unioave to the Cowpen
Ridge.
A survey is also making on the ridge be-
tween the Enoree and Tiger, which will con-
meet with the Broad river route at one end,
and the route by tie Salada mountains at the
other.
It will thus be seen that when the stock
holders meet in October, they will be IN pos
session of all the facts necessary to correct

!Melonciolg Occurrcn:s. letter has been
received il this v!!llge from Cincinnati, 0
enclosing one from the postmaster at Canton
ment Leavenworth, Mo. communicating the
melancholy intelligence Of the death by Viz
lence, of Doct Benedict Sattarlee. one Of The
missionaries sent out under The direction oi
the American board by the Presovter'an
church in this vii age. From hea.i,g read
the letter from Cantonmeat Lcavc..wo orth, we
gathered the following parlicuars:-Dr. Sat-
terlee had gone out IN company with two
Pawnee Indians, to negotiate a treaty of peace
with another tribe, III which he had succeeded,
and started with the same company on his
return The two Indians, however, came in
without. him, and stated in answer to inquiries
that thew had left him in a snow storm, be-
cause he would not abandon his horse.
A party of men which subsequently, came
in from the mountains, stated that they dis
co;ered upon the prairie, about - miles from
the Pawnee villages, a blanket, rife, and halr
upon the ground, and papers and letters ad-
dressed to DR.. B. Satterlee. The information
was brought to Cantonment Leavenworth by
Maj. John Dougherty the Indian Agent for
the Pawnees, who had 70 doubt that Dr.
5. had been murdered, PROBABLY by the two
Pawnee Indians before mentioned. He states
however, that no apprehensions need be en-
tertalned on account of the other missionaries,
as the Pawnee tribes, are kind and friendly,
and this has been the act Of two individuals,
from personal motives, or of others after they
had left him.-Ihaco Chronicle

Important Discorery-A discovery has
been recently made, which, as we understand,
is likely to prove Of the greatest Importance to
the commerce of this country. 4 now ship
channel has been found, leading over the bar
into the Bay of New York. 1t lies to the east
of the channel hitherto known and used, and
not distant from the Long Island shore. It's
of commoL;ous width, averaging about quar-
ter Of a mile, and saves three or four niles OF
the distance. But the great advantages which
it presents Is, that it allows entrance and de-
parture from the port, during the prevalence
of winds, which now forbid either In tenn
pestuous weather, when access BY he channel
hitherto used is impossible, vessels may enter
by the newly discovered one, and anchoring
in the Horse Shoe, the harhor formed b.
Sandy Hook, Staten Island and the New Ier-
sey shore, may wait III safety for pilot. The
danger of an approach to our ports is thus
happily and greatly lessened.
Il is singular that with such All immense
commerce a; is continually arriving and de-
parting, the existence of so commodious an
entrance should have remained unnoticcd IN
our charts, and unknown to the most expe.
rienced navigators of our waters. Ne:iave
been told, it is true that some ofthe pilots pre-
tended that they were acquainted with 1t, but
we are not inclined to give credit to this s.o.
ry. If the pilots knew of it. how: can they
answer to their conscience, for conceaing
fact which would have diminished so greatly
the delay and danger Of the access to our
port!-Ncw York lara.
