Something New.

Our readers may remember statement pub
lished some weeks since Of wild negro hav-
ing been seen in the parish of Caddo, in this
State. The last number Of the Caddo Gazette
contains a long article from the pen of MIR. J.
NJ. Pierce Of that Parish, descriptive Of his sue
cessful attempt TO catch this nondescrp,, and
of his physical peculiarites The Editor of
the Gazette declares that The creature possesses
an appendage which DR.. Pierce omitted 10 men.
lion, viz: tail about three inches long with
hair on it, If this be so the idea of its belong
ing to the Genus homo must be abandoned, un-
less some acute philosopher should prove that
Lord Monboddo's theory Of men being origin
ally monkeys furnished with tails, is true, and
that the animal in question, is specimen of
Lord Monboddo's idea of primitive humanity
1t appears from the account given by Dr.
Pierce, that he in company with Perry, pro-
ceeded towards the haunls OF the creature, which
he tracked by means of pack of hounds. AZ
ter running some time they beheld creature
coursing along at great speed, and resembling
bear rather than man. Dr.. Pierce got with
in ten PAGES of him and commanded him to stop,
but instead Of pausing he took to river. He
was still pursued by the party, which finally
arrived a, very thick cane break, in the midst
Of which was large gum tree, with hole just
large enough for a person to squeeze in. q
looked in" says DR.. Pierce. sand could see the
singular being squaI,ed in one corner Of the hol-
low and looking more like bear than human
being" Il being almost night, they concluded
TO wait until morning AT break Of day, they
commenced cutting and succeeded IN making a
hole large enough TO get him ou,. He was fe-
rocious and lndoml,able, fighting with fury and
was only subdued by rope being thrown a.
round his neck and tigh,ened until his respira-
ton was almost checked He was finally Sc
cured and taken to DR.. Peirce's house, where
he can be seen.
No doubt, adds the Doctor, he is one Of those
negroes lha, has by some means strayed of
when he was small, and it is the opinion of Mr..
Caffrey that he come there when child, or
perhaps born there, a, there were two skele-
tons in the hollow tree, supposed to be the ia.
lher and mother of the man that we caught
He appears to be fifty years old, weighing one
hundred and thirty pounds, and will ca, nothing
bot raw meat, and lha. which is tainted he likes
best. He will cal craw fish and frogs with
avidiiy when they are left in his way a. night
but will not touch food in the presence of any
person. His hair and nails are very long His
body is we'll sheltered from the cold and rain
by the long hair that covers it. When any o
the negro women come near him he shows con
siderable sexual desire, which must be from in
s,inct, as do not think he ever saw one before
he was brough, to my house.

Burning StubbIe Ground.

In conversation with farmer the other day,
he stated that he thought he had received much
benefit from burning over a piece Of s,ubble
ground. 1t caught fire by accident, from some
bushes that he had cut and was burning and

burned the stubble pretty clean. Il was sowed

dId not learn what and it was found that the
ashes were good dressing, and improved the
crop of that year, and The grass which followed.
The plan OF burning s'ubbIe was praclised
much 10 olden times. Old Virgil said or sung,
about it more than eighteen hundred years ago:
Long practice has the sure improvement found,
With kindled fires to burn the barren ground;
When light the stubble, TO the flames resigned;
is driven along and crackles in the wind"

A Bustonian writes 10 The editor of the N.
Y. Visitor, ,ha, in getting To Illinois. he expe-
rieuced all sorts Of goaheadi,ireness. In the
first place, he took a.s'eamboat-in the second,
rail road--,he third, mail coach-the fourth,
rode on horseback-he fifth, went six miles on
foot to Terra Hauie and was finally rode out
of The village on rail. He says that he don''
know which TO prefer out OF the six; hn thinks
the laer method is unqnes'onably The cheapest,
though It's accommodations are most wre'ched.

"Yes, have" replied the Quaker; "and
thou should'st be thankful that nothing worse
has happened to thee"
"Come in, them" said the debtor, finding
himself fairly caught; " come in. and will pay
you if must"
The three went into the house together, and
the slippery gentleman having ascer,ained the

The tailor having signed the receipt, placed
in the hands Of his late debtor, with feelings
such as may be readily imagined. The swim

various items of which it was composed. He
said nothing ill he came to the last charge,
which was ' for aduertising." when he broke
forth
"Halloo what's this For advertis,ng' !?
That's an odd charge in a tailor's bill You're
cheating me" !"
"Ono." coolly replied the Quaker {" ,ha, is
all right. | have charged thee with the cost of
publishing the advertisement. which thou just,

Here The swindler uttered horrid oath, as
he demanded. "D Do you mean TO say that you
caused the publication of thai advertisement z"
"Truly did," replied The Quaker with most
provoking GOODNESS.
"You told - lie in it," quickly retor,ed
the rogue
Convince me Of that" said the Quaker,
" and thou vii, find me ready to confess the
fault"
"You said should hear something to my
advantage, if would come here"
Thou art mistaken" Immediately respond
ed the Quaker; " l only promised that thou
shouldst hear of something to advantage; and
is it not to the advantage of poor tailor to col
lect an old debt. Z"
If can catch you In the street." said the
swinder with an oath and in the deepes, rage,
"Tll give you such cowhiding as will no,

"Nonsense, now" said the Quaker; "if thou
really intends TO do any thing of ,ha. SORT, we
had better step ou, into the back yard and fin

The rogue was completely non-plussed by
the GOODNESS of The Quaker, and Stood speech.

and who by the recent compromise of the
claims under his will, comes in for two-fifths
of $4,000, was for number of years, and
perhaps now is, resident of Fayette county,

THOUGHTS OF HEAVEN.

No sickness there
No weary wasting Of the frame away,
No fearful shrinking from the midnight air,
No dread Of Summers brigh: and feryid ray!
No hidden grief,
No wild and cheerless vision u despair,
No vain petition for swift relief, !
No fearful eyes, no broken hearts are there
Care has no home
Within the realm of ceaseless prayer and song
It's pillows break away and melt in foam
Far from the mansions Of the spirit thtong
The storms black wing M
Is never spread sthwart celestial skies
Its walngs blend not with ths voice Of Spring,
As some too tender aowret fades and dies
No night dstils
Its chilling dews upon the tender frame
No moon is needed there The light which fills
That land Of glory, from It's Maker came
No parted friends
Der mournful recollec,ions have to weep!
No bed of death enduring love attends
10 watch the coming OF pulseless sleep!
No blasted flower
Or withered bud celestial gardens know
No scorehing blast OF fierce descending shower
Scatters destruction like a ruthless foe
No battle word
Stsrtles the sacred host with fear and dread;
The song Of peace Creations merning heard,
10 sung wherever angel ministers tread!
Let US depart
IL home like this await the weary soul!
Look up, thou stricken one Thy wounded heart
Shall bleed no more at sorrows stern control.
With faith our guide.
WhIte-robed and innocent to lead the way,
Why fear to plunge in Jordan's rolling tide,
And find the ocean OF eternal dayi
