Mr.. Nude, the writer OF this article, in
Parungtou'S CycIopedia, relates, from his
own personal knowledge, the following par
tlculars:
Early one morning a man in the north
was going to his work through fuTze bushes
on a common. and came upon a fox, stretch
ed out al full length, Under the side OF one of
the bushes. The fox was drawn by the tail
aud swung right and LET'S and then laid on the
ground, but 10 symptom of motion or life did
he show. The man, never doubling that
Revuarl had gene the way of all foxes, and

TAI OF pcacoc, 5 feathers and other ornament

stood inclined from the wall Of his cottage
tooa the animal by the tail and swung it over
/ the one shoulder, at the same time placing
his mattock On the other to keep up the bal

to mend the high ruad. The animal had
couuteytcited death to admiration and he did

I fox: but he had no inc.mtion to undergo that
/ species OF dissection which the point of the
mattoch was ever and anon giving one of his
ribs; So, at last, he gave tlat decisive snap,
which IS the characteristic bite Of foxes
. The man felt something was the matter, but
/ knew not very well what; Sc throwing the fox
and mattock from him, he turned round to
face his foe, whoever he might be, and, in
turning. he espied his dead fox At the distance
of full htty yards, making foI the break with
all imaginable speed"
We shall mention one other mecdote which
came within the personal knowledge OF the
writer OF the above article, because 1t throws
some light en- the mode Of action of the fox.

CURIOUS FACTS IN NATURAL HISTORY

CURIOUS L ACTS IN ~ AIIRAL HISTORY.
About the year I748, some laborers in
working quarry in the neignborhood of
Princeton, n. ]. for the stone with which
the college is built, discovered a cavern
which contained the entire skeletons of
an immense number Of the Rattlesnake
-Crotalus. The bones were In such
quantities as to require two or fhree carts
for their removal. There can beno doubt
that this cavern had once a small opening,
which was afterwards closed by the acct
dental fall Of a stone or some other imped-
iment. This had probably been the win
ter abode OF the rattlesnake for years,
wher many had died through age, and
others in Consequence of the circumstance
Just mentioned. NJ. Humboldt, in the
third volume of his Personal Narrative,
hints at an occurrence somewhat similar
to the above. 81 had visited the caverns
of the Hartz, those Of FranConia. and the
beautiful grottO of Treshemienshiz in the
| Carpathian mountains, which are the
| vast cemetries Of bones Of tigers, hyenas,
and bears, as large as our horses" Buck
land in his Geology, has an account of a
hyena skeleton, discovered in Derbvshier,
in a cavernous rock. He supposes the
cavern to have been open, and afterwards
closed by stalactltes instances of which
are common in derbyshier. "Into this
cavern, conceive, = says he, " the animal
had retired to die, at a period long after
the existence of the maine animals which
are imbedded in the surrounding rocks

Great as eAYas; illustrious as his achlev-
ments were, he was one of Us. He was
a Civilian, a Lawyer, Jurist. His great
mind was imbued with the science OF our
noble profession, and enriched with al!
congenial learning; and to these may be
added the ornaments of Rhetoric and FL
oouence Trained in constitutional law, IN
the school of It's founders, Washington
called him in precious youth to the KIN
dred field Of Diplomacy. That MISSION
! discharged, he returned to his profession
and devoted himself to If with assIduity
until the People called him from the du-
ty of expounding laws to the higher de-
partmeut of making Laws.
Rising through various and very res
ponsible departments of public service, he
became Chief Magistrate Of the Republic.
There he impressed on its history an en-
during illustration Of wise, peaceful and
enlightened administration, devoted TO the
cultivation ofpeace, TO its arts, and its in
terests, and to extending the sway OF Re-
publican Institution over the Continent,
and vet in all things subordinate TO the
Law and regulated by the Law.
When he had thus filled the measure
/ Of the world expectation, and of his own
1 generous ambition, he resumed his place
! in the National Legislature, and devoted
| what remained of life to long, arduous
and finally successful vindication of the
constitutional liberty of speech, and the
universal and inalienaJlc Right of PETI-
TIoN. Nor can we forget that while thus
engaged, he set noble example for US.

many millions Of her people of whom she
had been despoiied by the ayarice Of our
superior race.
Whatever difference of opinion there
may be concerning the principles and
policy Of the deceased, all men will now
agree that he won among American Sta
tesmen, and emincnily more than any o.
Their, the fame accorded to the most illus
trious statesman Of France-the fame Of
a statesman-Sans peur ct sans reproche.
Its fit that the DEATH Of such Cit
zen should be marked with all the testi-
monials public grief, in order that his
LIFE may have It's just influence on man
kind. 1t is fit it should be honored in
this tribunal, the fame OF which is not I'M
known throughout the world, and the re-
cords OF which will remain forever. In

fore, move that such an expression be
entered on the record, and that the Court
do then adjourn.-AIb. Journal,

WRITTEN FOR MISS {. L. EDWARDS, or MASS
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, QUINcY, Mass
In days of yorc, the poets pen
From wing of bird was pIundered,
Perhaps Of goose, but, now and then,
From Joye's own Eagle sundered.
But now metallic pens disclose
Alone the poets numbers;
In iron inspiration gIows,
Or with the minstrel slumbers.
Fair Damsel could my pen impart,
In prose or lofty rhyme.
The pure emotions Of my heart,
To speed the flight Of time,
What metal from the womb OF earth
Could worth intrinsic bear,
To stamp with corresponding worth
The blessings thou wouldst share
