THE Two FoxEs-Mrs. Child, in her " Letters from New-York," vouches for the authenticity of the following curious incident in natural history:
 "He (the narratorj was one day in the fields, near a stream where several geese were swimming. Presently, he observed one disappear under tEe Wa ter, with sudden jerk. While he looked for her to rise again, he saw fox emerge from the water. and trot off to the woods with the unfortunate goose in his mouth He chanced to go in direc- tion where 1t was easy for man to watch tIs movements. He carried his burden to recess un- der an overhanging rock. Here he scratched away mass of dry leaves, scooped hole hid his treas ure within, and covered it up very carefully. Then off he went to the stream again, entered some dis tance behind the flock of geese, and foated noise- lessly along, with merely the top of his nose vis. ble above the surface. But this time, he was not so fortunate in his manGuvres. The geese, by some accident, took the alarm and flew away with loud cackling. The fox, finding himself defeated, walk ed off in direction opposite to the place where his victim was buried. The man uncovered the hole, put the goose in his basket, replaced the leaves carefully and stood patiently at distance to watch further proceedings. The sly thief was soon seen returning with another fox that he had invited to dine with him. Tkey trotted along right merrily, swinging their tails snutng the air. and smackirg their lips, in anticipation of rich repast. When he arrived under the rock Reynard eagerly scratch. ed away the leaves; but To, his dinner had disap- peared: He looked at his companion, and plainly saw by his countenance that Ee more than mis- doubted whether any goose was ever there, as pre- tended. He evidently considered his friends hos pitality sham, and himself insulted His con: temptuous expression was more than the mortified fox could bear. Though conscious of generous in- tentions, he felt that all assurances to that effect would be regarded as lies Appearances were cer- tanly very much against him; for his tail slunk between his legs and he held his head down, look ing sideways with a sneaking glance at his disap- pointed companion. Indignant at what he snp- posed to be an attempt to get up charac. fer for generosity on false pretences, the offend. ed guest seized his unfortunate host, and cufied him most unmercifully. Poor Reynard bore the infction with the utmost patience, and sneaked oil as if conscious that he had received no more than might be naturally expected under the circumstan- ces.

NEW AND IMPORTANT INVEN-
TlON.

A Magnetic Printing Telsgruph.-The
application of this hidden and mysterious
power, to the purposes Of the rapid trans
mission of intelligence is yet in Infancy.
There is now iu this city. telegraph
moved by the power of electro magnetism,
v hich performs that which, in our bOyish
days, we would not have believed, if we
had read Of it in the Arabian Nights. -
We have seen specimen Of printing
done with the usual letters of the alpha
bel, and as legible to child as the clear
est type, which was executed atone end Of
a magnetic wire, through direction
given al the other. 1t is true, as incredi-
BILE as the statement may seem to he, that
a man might, ii the wires were laid, now
sit at New York and, with more rapidity
than our best compositor can set type,
print at New Orleans letter or despatch
in the ordinary letters of our language.
In few days this invention will be
made more generally known, when we
will be at liberty TO speak Of it more fully.
At present arrangements are making for
the perfection Of the patents here aud in
Europe. The telegraph itself We have
mol seen, and in making statements with
regard to it are obliged to speak little
iucautiously from hear-say. But as far as
our enquiries go, there is no reason 10
doubt'the representations that have been
made to US on this subject; and as the
practicability of the thing itself, now that
il has been discovered, carries no impro-
liability upon the face Of it, il need not be
questioned. The effects of this invention
can hardly be anticipated. Thesobslitu-
tion of the usual alphabet for The hlreosly.
phics Of Morse's telegraph, is an impor-
tant and valuable Improvement upon one
of the most wonderful discoveries Of the
age.--N Y. Ere. Posk.
