charge that Mr. J @ Adams had opposed
the last war, and read from Mr. AS pub
Iished sentiments at the time.
Mr. Adams rose, and replied at much
length. and with striking severity. He
gave a most interesting history of his
whole course in relation to the last war,
and proved that if he was opposed TO the
war, because he wished the arbitration to
be left with Alexander of Russia, then
was Madison and his cabinet. that accepted

of New York, and eloquent in defence OF

shot from New York bow though aim
ed ever so Wrightly, would fall at his
feet, and he would scorn them as the mis-
cradle insects that era wled there.

woman who recent. attempted TO take tho life

else in her conversation that indicated dIsor-

One of the mos. curious facts Of natural histo-

ing an animal that has received the above appel

a compound of tho squirrel and rabbit we'll as

barking. Mr.. Gregg described II as 'llttc lar

are formed by burning IN the ground and raising

from dozen to some thousan ds and sometimes
cover Of several square miles. 'Ap-
preaching the village says Mr.. Gregg, "the 1T
tic dogs may be observed frisking about tho
