"pioe Dewey observed that Prof Hitcock
had shown that iccbergs, &c, had carried large
blocks o' graywacke OF Catskill over hills twelve
hundred feet high INTO the llousa,onio valley.
DR.. Birrc,t said that there were enormous

FERoCITy OF BEAR-The following re-
ded having occurred at Brighton. Maine.
nearly forty years ago 1t is seldom rha, the
black bear manltests so much teroclry when
met with in the forests of New Eng Gland. This
and her courage and rage were stimulated by
the love other oiisprins
"Benjamn Foster, son of Maj Asacl Foster,
Of BrIgeton, being on his way through thick,

growing OF bear. He soon discovered an old

fierce. He Immediately took to the first tree
he could find, which was about nine inches dl-
ame,er, and about twenty feet 10 the first limbs ;
this he ascended with all possible speed, and
having reached the limbs he called TO the near.
est nei.hbor, who lived about quarter Of
mile distant, for help. The bear, on hearing
his cries, retreated from the tree and halloord
also, which she repeated as often as he called
for help.
The bear then returned to the tree and climb
ed up nearly to the first limbs, hut losing her
hold she fell to the ground this enraged her,
and she again assembled the tree with stlll grea-
ter velocity, and overlook him at the height o
about thirty feet when she seized him by one
foot, but the shoe coniog IF she iell To the

% WAR Win ENGIANp.-We are not in.
clned to believe that there will be any actual
hostiIitics between the United States and Eng
land The threats recently thrown out in Par
lament by Sir Robert Peel and other ministe-
rial leaders, were intended more for political ef
feet at home, than anything else. The English
pride themselves greatly upon their high sense
of national honor, although no nation in Europe
has exhibited a greater want of II IN their inter
coarse with weak powers. 1t was, therefore,
| necessary To make some show that their sense OF
honor had been awakened The English Co
would b. great calamity, and in its consequences
ten times more terrible TO themselves than 10 us
/ The English nation is, in fact, more dependent
on the United States than any other power on
earth for lis own peace and the welfare of its
! people They may be said TO be a nation of o,ton
! spinners, and large portion of their operatives
are wholly dependent on that trade for their daily
! bread, The English Government is well aware
/ of this and have, therefore, made every effort TO
cul tivate cotton in their East India possessions
| Having failed in this, they are now anxious TO
prevent the annexation of Texas, and by com
mercia treaties 10 secure the cotton trade of that
fine country. In this they will not succeed, The
people of Texas are almost unanimous in favor of
annexation, and before their mighty voice all
opposition, the part of the Office holders, must
vanish before the meeting of their Congress in
June next.

MERCURY, whether in the shape of Blue Pill,
Caomel, Corrosive SuhmaIe, or any other form,
never can effect permanent cure of any disease,
consequently cannot purify the blood. The only
curative properties it possesses is to change the
present drvelopement of the disease and substitute
another in It's place. Brandrelhs Vegetable Uni
sersal Pills stand pie-eminenl in the cure OF dis
ease, because their effects as certain they are
