From the American Traveller.
THE BASHFUL MAN,
OR "BREAKING INTO THE WORLD.


The late Governor Sullivan commenced
the practice of law in a most obscure place,
in (what is now the State of Maine. Soon
after he opened his office, he was asked by
friend one day, "What induced him to
select so humble and retired spot, for the
commencement OF his professional career"
He is said to have replied, "You know,
my friend, | am lame. carrot jump, and
must therefore breah into the world; and
have selected this spot as cattle do the low
est and poorest part OF the fence, when they
break into a field of clover" The hirt is
good one, and those of our young men,
who would attain to professional enineDce,
may profit by it if they choose.
The following anecdote, as illustrative of
the folly of attempting to Jump into the
world" was related to me by the subject
oft, (now highly respected man) who,
years gone hy,passed through the ludicrous
scene, here related, in this city; and some
of the party now living may indulge in
pleasant "reminiscences as they call 10 mind
the dinner parties at old MIR C's in -
street in this city, where the lace,ous Capt.
3. was a standing guest.
DIR K, the subject of this anecdote,
was from his childhood to the time he en-
tered his profession, in the constant habit
of intense application to his studies, and had
the power of abstraction TO such a degree,
that nothing could divert his mind from the
subject of his investigation, whatever it
might be. His habit of seclusion from the
world had rendered him almost stranger
to it, During the whole term Of his pupil-
age, his days were passed at his study, the
lecture room, or hospial and in the night,
with those emblems Of mortality, the mid
night CONCENTRATIONS of which, in places
as gloomy as the cemetery whence they
" ere taken must produce disease even III
healty imagination, but on one like DR.
KS, the effect would be disastrous indeed
For he was from childhood afflicted with :
constitutional bdshfuineSs, which no menta
or physical discipline could subdue. Hi,
was not the mauvaise homie we too often see
neither false modesty, nor the modesiy o
the man of science, who finds the fountain
deepening, the deeper he drinks, but al
union of this latter, with native, constitu
tional, nsuperable loss Of self possession
on coming in contact with the world
He could not be unconscious of his merit
as a man of science; for he knew he ha
sacrificed enjoyments, comforts, ease mn
almost health, to his love of science; an
as he had thus spent a youth of labor, h
had a right TO crown It, by the Poet
blessing, with an age of ease." % Tha

burning Mine. Mr.. Dougherty's mine
on the Broad Mountain is still on fire, and
burns with increased fury. Mr.. ID. has
advertised for proposals to eXingulsh the
fire; but we apprehend he would scarcely
find contractor who would wait for his
pay until the job is finished, as from the
length of time it has been burning and our
own personal examination, it will probably
continue to increase in fury until the whole
jupular vein of half mile in length above
the water level shall have been consumed.
1t is now the greatest curiosity IN our re-
gion; and will doubtless attract the visits
Of many from our eastern cities, who would
rather visit volcano in this healthy neigh
borhood than visit Vesuvius.

Here is another recofd:--
Maine Bank.
STATE OF MAINE, $3.50
The Secretary of State, in a note to the
Maine Bank, says, that "by the return
from the Cashier Of this Bank, the amount
owned by each Stakeholder is not stated,
but the number Of shaIes, only, at $50
each. as shown above. BY this statement
it would appear that the Capital Stock is
1923 $50; and that the amount OF Stock
owned by the State is but So, $50; whereas
it should be 5000.

Horrid NasSocre--t,co hundred md
tpeaty Iadiaa8 killed. We learn from Gov.
Lucas and other gentlemen, who came
passengers on the lone last evening, that
two hundred and twenty Indians were kill
ed in the upper country about the ist inst.
The facts as they were related by young
gentleman who was at the treaty are as fol.
lows. The SouiX had invited the Chippe-
was to meet them at St. Peters for the pur-
pose Of making a treaty of everlasting
friendship. The Chippewas assembled ac-
cordingl y-the pipe Of peace was smoked
and they parted apparently good friends.
A large party OF the ChIppewas was en-
camped at the falls of the st. Anthony and
a smaller party encamped on the ST. Crolx
on their way home, without the least sus-
picion of treachery on the part of the
Sioux. While they were thus peacably
encamped, they were surprised by the
Sioux, who commenced their hutchery.-
Trey Immediately rallied, but before the
battle terminated, the Chippewas lost one
hundred and fifty 1.-THE Falls, and twenty
on the St Croix The number of Sioux
killed on the occasion amounted to about
fifty. We do not much wonder at the hos
tity that has been exhibited by the Sacks
and Foxes against the Sioux, if this latter
tribe has always been as t.eacherous as
they were on the above occasion.
