A WrLD MAN.-The Halifax IN. W
Herald of the 7th instant contains the fol-
lowing singular narrative:
Considerable interest has been created
within the last few days past, by the arri-
val in this city en- Thursday last, of a wild
man. who had been discovered in the woods
1t Cape Benton, in a state Of nudity. For
a short time this strange individual has
been in the poor Asylum, he has received
numerous visits, and although in a condi-
zion of complete barbarism, begins to af-
ford encouragement that attempts to civil
ize him may not be altogether hopeless.
He is both deaf and dumb, and his ap-
pearance is extremely haggard. He re-
mains generally. whether asleep or awake,
in a sitting position. His skin. is considera-
bly, shrivelled from constant exposure =
the weather, and his whole department re-
.SembleS more an inferior animal than a hu-
man being.
When food is offered him, he seizes and
pressing it into his mouth with both hands,
devours in r%avenously. He is remarkably
o of salt, which he eats in large quanti-
ties. The first steps towards civilization
have been partially successful; he having
learnt the use of a spoon, and to a limited
extent allowed his body to be covered with
a light wearing apparel.
1t IS said that the parents of this singu-
lar character emigratcd some years ago to
Sydney, from Scotland; and having permit
ted him in his juvenile days to range the
woods at pleasure, he acquired a habit of
leaving his parents residence for a number
of days at a time, until compelled for want
of food, to return home; and on the death of
his parents he took up his abode in the for
est altogether; until the time of his capture.

Ferer.-Dr. ]. C. Smith obtained $4,000
from parliament for the following recipe:
"Take six drachms of powdered nitre

By adding one drachm of the oil at a time,
a copious discharge of nitrous acid gas will
take place. The cup to be placed during
the preparation on a hot earth or a plate Of
heated iron, and the mixture stirred with d
tobacco pipe. The quantity of gas may be
regulated by lessening or increasing the
quantity of the ingredients. The above is
for a moderate sized room; half the quanti-

Avoid as much as possible breathing the

Mexican Privnteer In the Mediterranean.

The editor OF the "New York Herald in letter writ

just received from San American gentleman, dated in
Madrid Spain, 10th OF May giving an account of the
capture of American vessel in the Mediterranean by
a Mexican privateer pirate. This took place last
month The Mexican vessel is called the Unico, and
the American prize the barque Camelte, 1875 tons, Of
Bangor, Maine, Capt. Lteteld, being on her voyage
from Porto Rico to Trieste The American consul at
Barcelona communicated the news to the American min
lister at Madrid and demand made for the release
of the barque The Unico was fitted out at Gran The
captain is Spanard, who had fled from Justice in
Spain. The crew are all Spaniards She reported she
had cleared out Vera Cruz, although is certain she
never was out OF the Mediterranean They are fur
