A Doctor and Esis lizards.

Mr.. Thurlow Weeds last letter from Vera
Cruz 10 the Albany Evening Journal relates The
following marvellous incident in notice Of
visit to the estate of Doct Stephens:
"While enjoying our Segars under broad
spreading Tamarind tree, the Lizards came
down as usual, 10 keep the Mosquitoes away
from their Protector The Doctors kindness
for animals has developed instincts and AVA
kened affections that would not discredt a race
intellectually endowed His beautiful fan-tai-
ed Pigeons, when he returns from town, come
with their greetings TO his carriage, and perch
upon his shoulders. His Lizards Jump FROM
the trees into his hands. A year or two since,
when several of the officers of IT, s. Ship Po-
tomac, with two gentlemen residing here, were
at breakfast with the Doctor, huge Lizard that
had the misfortune 10 lose his tail by some cas-
uaty, marched into the room, and up to the
Doctor with the dsmembered limb in his mouth
This looks, confess, too much like ' Re.
markable Snake Story" but il is nevertheless
a well authenticated fact The manned reptile
under the influence of ius,inct highly excited
sought relief from the hand by which it had
been fed and cherished. The Doctor himself
regards the circumstance as a tribute to his skill
in surgery.

No War with England.

II appears that after all the clustering OF The
locofocos, in regard 10 Oregon, and their deter
mination 10 possess it, with or without the con-
senr of England, Mr.. Polk did not mean, when
ne said The claim of the United States 10 the
whole OF Oregon was unquestionable, 10 stop
negotiations for the amicable adjustment of the
boundary, and TO plunge US into a war with
England, but merely said it for effect, to tickle
the fancy OF the locos, as he used TO do when
on the stump in Tennessee. The Washington
Union, the organ of The administration, says, in
aluding TO this subject, that :" The President OF
The United States has no intention of closing the
door of any negotiation with Great Britain on
the Oregon question" What vast amount OF
patriotic assurance has been thrown away by
the locos upon this subject. Ii is really cruel
in Mr.. Polk 10 speak SO ambiguously as to lead
his friends into such,error. We insist that be
