were, as a matter of course killed from the
fall, but those which fell where there was
grass, received no injury; and ! picked

Some people suppose that the phenomena
of this nature Nigh. take place through the
agency OF waterspouts, which draw up the
fish, sc. from rivers and wafer tanks, and
afterwards return them to the earth again in
showers of rain and there appears to be
no other way of accounting for the pheno'
menon. or that fish should be found so tar
out of their element. The. most strange
thing that struck me- in connection with this
event was, that the fish did not fall heller:
skelter every where, OF" hero and there,
but they fell in straight line, not more than
a cubit ID breadth. The natives living in
and about the place gave to the fish the
name of uka !; but whether this be the right
name OF not, cannot tell from my own
knowledge.

IMPORTANT INVENTION.

Mr.. Frederick LIE Mesurier, of this is
land, surgeon, has recently invented a new
pump for ships and mines, on principle
infai.ely superior, for all practical purposes
Iadaps set discovered. Heis at present iu
Lordoo taking ou. a patent for it, and in
tends extending that patent to France, Hoi.
land and the United States. Some Of tie
peculiarities Of this pump are tho almost to.
tai absance of offric,ion--the impossibility Of
ito getting choked by sand. wheat or even
small ssones--and a capability, in small
sized one worked by only one man, of de-
livering hogshead Of water in q minute
and a half. Larger sized ones, worked by
two or more men, may be made 10 deliver
two or more hogsheads per minute and In
mines. where the pumps ore worked by
s,sam engines, the power may be immense
" increased. We understand that the pls.
ton is dispensed with, and that q vacuum 's
produced by means ofan India rubber Bag
stretched ON rings. Mr.. LIE Mesurier, it is
reported, has been offered 42,0OOl for the
patent, it being foreseen that this pump
must superscede all others, both in ships
and mines.--Guetnsey Star.

= ,nrenssTINe SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION.
The New York Dispatch says that the
recen. and singula, death Of Mr.. Withing'
TOD, by the explosion Of a gas pipe, has
led some of the practically scientific men
Of that city to commence investigations
which may be Of vast importance. The
Dispatch remarks, on the experiments they
have already made: 4" Il is said that an
examination of a gas pipe, has shown de-
posite of exceedingly fine particles, which,
for their present purpose, the gentleman
denominate condensed permanent e'ectrI,

with a file, and detonation, or instantaneous
explosion was produced by contae. Of the
6le with the residuum Of the gas. The key
10 the death of MIR. Wilmington is furnished
by tho supposi.ion, strongly sustainei ey
the result ofthis experiment, that when he
put his teeth to the pipe, they touched the
deposit ofcondensed gas, and produced the
melancholy accident of which our readers
had the particulars.

The sJouRNAL OF THE AMERICAN SILK
SOCIETY," and Rxra Economist" is the name
of q very capital monthly publication, in the
pamphlet form, issued at Baltimore by Gideon
B. Smith, ESQ, the corresponding Secretary
of the Society, the proceeds of which are de.
voted to the advancement Of the Silk Cause in
che United States. Mr.. Smith is widely known
AZ q gentleman of talent and Of indefatigable
application his taste for agricultural pursuits
generally has made him thoroughly acquainted,
both theoretically and practically with all the
-details connected with farming and garden.
ING, and few writers display moro tact in i'm.
parting information On these interesting sub.
,ects than himself. For many years Mr..
Smith was engaged with ]. 8. SKINNER, Esq.
in conducting the " Turf Register" and the
the " American Farmer" and when the latter
gentleman gave up those periodicals, their edl-
torial management devolved upon himself A
great many individuals connected with the
press, With half the talent, and less Of the in.
dussry of Mr.. Smith, would have acquired
great name long ere this, while he has quietly
kept On in the even tenor of his way, trusting
fo fine and the result of his arduous labors
20 ulace his manifold deservings before his
countrymen in q proper and broader light.
Mr.. s. for long time has devoted much OF
mis- attention to the culture Of Six in this
country, and when the "American Silk Socie-
ty' resolved upon the publication Of a monthly
journal, his information, talent, and experience,
at once pointed him out as the very man OF all
others, % superintend it. The Society could
no, nave made a happier selection-their
choice was graceful compliment to a most
wo, thy man. And we have been gratified to
hear, that in view of his anwearied exertions
in favor of the Silk cause, and as memen'o
of the Society's regard for him as one Of the
earliest friends and most faithful supporters Of
the patriotic objects contemplated by the So
ciety it has resolved to present him with
handsome and substantial token ofpublic con-
sideration. Mr.. Skinner, we believe, vas con.
nected with the work at its commencement,
but his onerous public duties prevented bis
giving that degree of attention to it which an
enterprise of the kind 30 imperiously demands
he has more recently assumed the editorship
of tho Is Farmer" 90 that the conduct OF the
Journal dsvolves entirely upon Mr.. Smith,
whose original contributions, we have frequent.
ly remarked, are the most valuable articles In
its well filed pages.

AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA.

Judging from the tone of the newspapers in
that Territory, we should be induced to sup.
pose that great degree Of excitement existed
with respect to the late paci6cation Of the In
dians; but other accounts, both oral and writ
ten, give contrary impression, and represent
that the excitement is confined to those WHO
are interested in continuing the war, or for
some cause desire the total expulsion of the
Indians
Among the latest and most positive testimo-
ny that we have seen, ofthe peaceable inten-
tions of the Indians, and of the satisfaction of
the inhabitants at the conclusion of hostilities,
is that contained il, letter written 70 Major
