MILK SICKNESS AT THE WEST.
A letter dated Vincennes, (lndiana) June
IL, says
"At Loeansport, on the banks of the Wa
bash, [ was cautioned by an elderly lady a
gainst using either milk, butter, or beef on
my way 10 Vincennes As reason for her
caution. she informed me that the milk-slck-
ness was common in this state. had heard
of il before, but knew little OF 1t. She IN.
formed me that very many deaths occurred
annually by this dreadful malady. There
is difference of opinion as to the cause
that produces it; bat the general opinion is
that it is occasoned by the yellow oxyd OF
arsenic in the lower ground and woodland,
and particularly near the Wabash river, and
that some weed las yet unknown) lmbibes
the poison, and when eaten by cattle causes
them to stagger. qniver, and fall in few
hours. If COWS eat of il the milk is poison
ed. or butter that is made from the milk.
and is also as sure death for those who use
the milk or butter as it is TO the animal that
eats the weed. Great care is taken TO bury
such cattle as die with it; for ii dogs &c.
eat their flesh they share the same late, and
il operates upon them as violently and fatally
as upon the animal that was first affected
with it.
The butcher uniformly, in this state runs
the victims for his knife mile, to heat It's
blood, and, if it has eaten of the weed, 1t
will at once, on stopping, culver ana snake
if Il does not, it is considered sale 10 ou.ch'
err and this is the uniform test even when
beef cattle show no signs Of having ate the
weed. Indiana is not alone in this mis'of'
tune; there has been many cases IN some
parts of Ohio and south Of 81. Louis and
others of the south western states;--i have
seen MANY farms, with comfortable buildings
and Improvement, entirely abandoned ana
their owners fed to other quarters, to AVOID
the dreadful curse. And yet. | confess
have never seen any section OF country su
nerior in soil 10 the land adjoining the Wa
bash, and this is the only objection to IT,

CoNFLicT WITH A BEAR. A letter, dated
near the mouth of the White River, in Arkan-
sas, gives the following painful account Of a
remarkable conflict with bear:
There was one OF the deepest tragedies here
two evenings ago that have ever heard off,
Mr.. Harris, the landlord in whose house am
now staying, went up the river TO drive some
cattle to a Mr.. Keen's; on the way, he and
Keen saw very large bear, which they shot Mt
twice, wounding him mortally, but not killing
him. They then followed him with their dogs,
and when they came to where he was, Mr..
Harris went into the cane to get another chance
to shoot him. The bear was behind tree,
and Mr.. Harris and the animal met. Harris
shot him the third time but did not kill. The
bear caught him and bit the large artery
in two. Keen, who was loading another gun,
ran to him, not being more than ten steps off,
with his butcher knife, TO stab the bear that
now had Harris under him, but when he was
aiming the blow the bear saw him, and leaped
at him. Keen sprang back and Harris jumped
from under the bear, ran fifteen or twenty feet
and fell. Keen said, ''are you hurti" ayes,
am killed." was his answer. Keen then ium-
ped between Harris and the bear as the latter
was rushing to another attack, aud luckily shot
him the fourth time through the body, which
weakened the animal much, though he still
fought the dogs for some time. Keen ran next
TO Harris, saw his haggard countenace, and
begged him to speak, but the PROSTATE man ex-
pired in an instant. Mr.. Harris has left five or
six children and his poor wife.

MAD Cow.-A plymouth paper gives the
following account Of case of hydrophobia in
cow, belonging TO Ichabod Morey at that
place.
"The cow acted very strangely, and it hav-
ing been supposed that she might have been bit
ten by dog which came on shore from the
brig Scion. which has bitten number of 9TH
er dogs, fears were entertained that this COW
was mad. thought it might be the horn all,
and adopted the usual remedy in such case, cut
ting off her tall boring her horns, sc. | offer
ed her water and she became infuriat and tore
the bucket to pieces without drinking. She
had a propensity TO bite things within her
reach. The remedies pursued had no favora-
BILE effect. She continued the next day in the
same situation, and about eleven O'Clock that
night she became most furious and broke out OF
the barn, believing and raving; first attacking
a wheel barrow, which she threw about, and
then ran to barrel Of water, which she turn
ed over and tossed about until it was cut of her
reach. She continued TO below and roar, at
lacking every thing in her way, until she final
ly fell dead in the greatest agony. ! was I'M
willing to believe her mad until Wednesday
night. The people in the house were so much
alarmed with her violence, that they fed into
the chambers for fear of her breaking into the
lower part of the house. became fully salts
fed, as was the case believe with the great
majority of all who saw her in these rawlings,
that she was mad. She never drank from the
beginning of her sickness, although water was
frequently offered her, and its sight increased
her fury. She fiothed at the mouth and dis
charged more than three buckets full, as
should think, in the course Of that day. After
she broke out of the barn, no person had the
courage to enter the enclosure where she was.
The whole neighborhood were in state Of a.
arm, and her bellowings were heard a great
distance"

We last fall mentioned the circumstance Of
an unfortunate mother leaving the boat at New
York, and forgetting to take aiovely babe with
her, which she has not since thought to call
for. How worthy and commendabe was the
conduct Of Capt. Il. on that occasion. Most
men would have called il brat and ordered it
10 the almshouse.
Not so with our fiend; he put it into the
hands of careful nurse, provided il with the
best of apparel, gave it the name of Union L.
Sing Sing, and designed to favor il with lib
eral education. Death, however, inteTposed,
and the little stranger after enjoying for a few
weeks the kindness and the bounty of his bene-
factor, without the solace of mothers care,
breathed out his tender breath on another's
bosom.
'He would no, live to know mothers shame.
A few days after the death of this deserted
child, genteel looking aged man came on board
the Union and requested Capt. Il. to inform
him of all the circumstances concerning the in
FAINT, on learning which he desired the captain
to ask no questions, and placing in his hands
double the amount expended upon the child,
hastily took his departure, and this is all that
has ever since come to light concerning the pa
rentage and desertion of the little Sing Sing
raveller.-Haoersfra,c Times.

The City of Jackson readers will rec
ollect that during the height of the specializing
mania, new city was created in honor of the
ssgreatest and best" which was to outvie in
beauty and wealth, the one standing on the OPP
posite bank of the Potomac, and bearing the
name of the beloved Washington. President
Jackson himself laid the corner stone. Apom-
pous Grafton was pronounced over this embryo
capital; large assemblage congregated TO wit
ness the imposing ceremonies of the occasion;
and the lots were of course valued at high
price.-A traveller recently passing from Alex
andria TO Washington, was anxious to visit this
new and magnificent laid out city. Fortunate
" he found a person acquainted with the local
tiles. who took him on the Potomac bridge, and
showed him the site ofthe city, over large por-
ton Of which the waters Of the Potomac have
flowed fur several months, and the corner stone,
which was supposed to have been laid in the
neighborhood of beautiful streets, was just dis
cernable as a large ,rhite stone in the midst ola
wide extended swampy plain, covered in part
with thick underground. And this stone is
all which marks the site Of the city, concerning
which sages have written and poets sung

MECHANICS.

The New fork Knieerbocker, months
ly literary periodical, in a late number
Civ es some good hints in relation to mis-
important class of citizens. Ii says:
"There is scarcely any thing which
tends more to the improvement of tnwn
than fair anil liberal support offered to
mechanics Of every description. ropu-
lation is necessary to the prnspeut, Of
an, country; and tire population being Of
an honest and industrious cliaE cier ren-
dels prosperity more certain, uniform
and un' arying. Scarcel, am place as
risen to much importance. e, zen il pos-
sessen OF the best commercial al. mtg
ges, without due regar'i To the encourage.
ment Of tire mechanic arts. For thigh
the exportation Of merchandise forms the
leading features of such a place. the va
rious arts of mechanics are put inv ria.
bly into requisi!ion, and are indispansa-
bic to render the progress Of commercial
operations safe. 10 an inlanJrown, me-
chsnics are equally as important as else
where. They constitute large and re.
spectacle portion of society in all couu.
tries; but in towns and villages they are
almost leading constituent part of their
growth and population. 10 afford am.
pie support to this class of citizens so
highly useful and necessary, is certainly
the duty of those engaged in other pur-
suits. Some branches ofmechanism have
to. sustain no competition from abroad,
the nature of their business preventing
such inroads or interferences; others are,
however, subject to be innosated by the
importation of similar articles of foreign
produce, made at rates inducing prefer.
ence over our own productions. Al
though trade and commerce, in all their
varied branches, should be free and UNI
shackled, regard for the prosperity Of
our village should induce us to afford a
reasonable support to our mechanics; we
should at least give them preference
when we are not loosers by il. A little
experience will have convinced many
that it is, in most cases, their interest to
do so, independent OF many other consI-
derations. .r &c.,
