apparelled and, in her movements when un-
conscious of any of her species being near,
cautious and sprgh'Iy but, upon observing any
person, she bounds back TO the depth of the
forest with speed and Iighrness almost super
human She is seldom seen; having been ac-
cciden'ally discovered, she has been watched
for with interest; and as she has occasionally
emerged from the unknown place Of her seclu-
sion-her home in the rocks and glens--per-
sons have witnessed her visits 10 the Sylvan

region of country. We also learn that a num-

have determined to find out the abode of the

her back TO society

Indian Corn in England.

A writer in the London League, speaking o.
the introduction of Indian Corn into England
says, that about twenty years ago he pur.
chased quantity of it, the price then being
low, and sent i, to mill TO have it ground. The
miller, when informed that he intended TO feed
his pigs with it, shook his head and remarked
" Depend on it, friend, it will never dot is
all mistake-you have made but poor bar
gain" The buyer was no, 10 be frightened
he got his meal home, mixed it with steamed
potatoes, and in about month his swine were
as firm and fat as could be wished The mil
Ter called one day, and seeing his prophecy pu,
at nought, exclaimed, Oh, neighbor, it was
the potatoes that did it," Nevertheless he fed
his hogs on the same kind of diet, and with
similar results.
The writer in the League calls upon the Le-
gislalure 10 take off the duty upon the article,
and remarks:
"The crops of i, are most abundant in Amer
ica, and hundreds Of acres are left TO 70, and
spoil on the land, on account of its great cheap
ness compared with the price Of labor. What
a lamentable consideration 10 think that the
bounties of Heaven should be so wasted and
neglected from nothing more than the perverse-
ness of men who study too liuIe the happiness
and comfort of those whose well-doing would
be their gain! The advantage of its inlIoduc-
ton, untared, would prove of great service to
the laboring class, who too often feed their
swine at al enormous expense and great do

Temperance Meeting.

On Tuesday evening the 5ih inst, there was
a lecture on Temperance in the Court House,
in Siroudsburg, by CHARLES SITGREAvEs, Esq.
We were not present, but we are informed the

The cause of Temperance we consider TO be a
good one, and we wish it success all the world
over. At the conclusion of his lecture the
speaker took occasion to give an outline of the
plan, organization, and utility of the order of
The Sons of Temperance. Ii is strictly ben

The Natives of Africa.

An officer writing from The Coast Of Africa
10 the Washington Union, SAYS We are now
in the neighborhood of elephants, tigers, and
boa constructors. The ant hills are moi yet lev
elled, and the huts of the natives correspond
very well 10 the pictures of them in the ilile
geography Of my schoolboy days. The natives
live in a state of the rudest barbarily, being
naked, filthy, superstious worshippers of sticks
and bones, and believers in the most absurd
nonsense. They are willing to sell each other,
and by-lie-by, when asked them why they
sold each other, they have answered, By ques-
lion in return, Why white man buy negro"

Duty on Iron.

There has been great reaction in the iron
trade in England, and prices have gone down
upwards of 20 per cent. Al the latest dates
pig iron was bringing but from SIS 10 SIC per
ton, and The demand was small at even that
price. In view Of this, the question naturally
suggests itself, what would the iron men in this
country do were it not for the tariff which
imposes high rate Of duly on the article 3
The answer is obvious. The country would
be flooded with English iron, our own furnaces
would be closed. and the workmen deprived of
employment
