wonderful Preservation.

The following very interesting story is ia
ken from Devonshire (England) paper:
"Dudleigh Salterton has been the scene OF
most thrilling incident. Six little chill
dren, on Wednesday mornining, got into a
boat on the beach, and mischievous boy
showed it off. The boat drifted away to SEA
before the children were missed. Terrible
was the agony Of mothers when they knew
it. A number OF men went offin all direc-
tons; every boat was on the lookout until
far in the night. Daylight returned and
still nothing was heard about them; they
were lost either in the expanse of the wide
ocean, or buried in its Unsuitable depths
A Plymouth fisherman fishing early in the
morning saw something floating in the dis
lance; he bore down ii, and discovered it
to be boat, and in the bottom the six chill
dren, all huddled in like nestof birds, fast
asleep, God having mercifullly granted them
that solace after day Of terror and despair
He took them aboard, feasted them with
bread and cheese, and gladdened their des-
pairing hearts with promise to take them
home. Between three and four in the after
noon, the Fisherman was seen in the offing
with the boat astern. All eyes were turned
owards him; the best spy-glass in the town;
was rubbed again and again, and at last they
fairly made out that it was the identical
boat. The news flew through the town, the
mothers came frantic TO the beach, for there
were no children discovered in the boats,
none to be seen in the sloop Intense was
the agony of suspense, and all alike shared
it with the parents. At last the boat came
in, and the word went round they are safe,
and many stout-hearted men burstinto tears
women shrieked with joy, and became al
most frantic with their insupportable hap
piness. 1t was indeed memorable day;
and prayer, eloquent for its rough sinceri-
ty, was offered up to Almighty God, who, in
his infinite mercy, had spared these inno-
cent children from the perils and tsrrors Of
the sea during that fearful night. Five Of
these children were under five years of age;
the sixth is but nine years DID,"

Bounty Land Warrants.

The bill making land warrants aSsignable
has passed both Houses of Congress, and is
now law. 1t has not been received as yet,
but the editor of the Scioto Gazette, who has
had "squint" at it, says that ple.emptors
may use said warrants, instead Of cash, at
81 ,25 per acre that said warrants may be 10.
Gated on any lands of the United States, now
subject to private entry-in the case of the
$3.50 lands. giving one acre for two ;--and
that full assignments may be made by the
original warrantees, according 10 the inslruc-
tons of the General Land Office. Certif-
Gates, also, are transferable.

The Allen Land CLAIM.

The correspondent of the Clevel land Plain

ming vote. The Senate declare that Gov.
Ford had no right to dispose of the lands Of
the State in the shape of an enormous fee ts
John w. Allen, or any other favorite of the
whig party, and that the whole Galphin pro.
ceedings in that Land matter is nul! and
void. II is said the House will almost unan.
imously concur with the Senate, SO utterly
fraudulent and barefaced has been his pro-
ceeding. The universal whig party had bet
ter confine their Galphinism to places wh. re
they are in power, and that is at Washington.
where millions of the Peoples money have
already been stolen.

views Respecting the Source of Light.

James Nasmytb, F. R A. S., inventor of
The Steam Hammer, an astronomer of no
mean fame, and man Of splendid abilities,
has recently published an article in the Ed.
inburgh Philosophical Journal, explaining
some Of his views on the "Source of Lights
which are both novel and interesting He
states that he has examined, for number
Of years, The remarkable features which.
from time 10 time, occur on the suns sur
face, and whatever the nature Of solar light
may be, the "source Of it appears to result
from an action induced on the exterior sur
face OF the solar sphere" Impressed with
This view he was led to conclude that the
true source Of the latent element of light
resided not in the sun bu: in Space itself,
and that the suns duty is to act as an sgent
for the bringing forth into vivid existence
its due portion Of the luminous element.
which, he supposes, is diffused throughout
the bounll regions Of space, and is per-
fectly inexhsustible. Reasoning upon this
basis, he concludes that the element of light
may not be equally diffused throughout the
regions Of space, and If this is so, It is easy
to account for the glacial period, which as
Geologists say, onte existed on This earth,
and which they account for, by boulders in
Long Island, drift grooves in rocks, where
no icebergs are now seen, nor glaciers either.
He says that there perhaps was time when
our sun in its cours' through the stellar uni
verse, passed through arSgion of space,
where the light-yielding element was def.
cient, and in which case his bnlliancy
would have suffered awhile, and an arctic
climate in consequence spread from the
poles towards the equator Of our eartb; the
glacial handwriting on the walls of out
mountains and ravines, he asserts, is unques-
tionable evidence Of this. He believes that
his idea Of this source Of light. agrees With
the Mosaic account Of the creation.

A Bear Captured by Chloroform,

A paper published al Mantaubaii, Spain,
gives an account of the capture Of huge
bear BY chloroform, which is somewhat anu
sing.
His bearship had !or a long time been the
terror OF the district, entirely defying all at
tempts at capture. Even the most daring
hunters dare not approach him sufficiently
near 10 give him death wound, and so the
bear was left to his glory, making predatory
excursions continually among the sheep and
cattle OF the surrounding FARMS Atlength
DR.. Pegot hit upon plan Of securing the
monster by Chloroform. Early one morn
ing he proceeded to the cave where the bear
slept, accompanied by party of peasants,
and having made sure by the snow just fall
en- that the animal was within, the peasan nj
ran and fastened up the entrance with iron
bars, which prevented the bear from coming
out. Over the bars they stretched their
blankets TO prevent ingress of air, and now

having filed it with the somnolent liquid
discharged il through an aperture in the
banke into the interior Ofsthe cave. This
being several times repeated. the baar soon
fell into deep sleep, when the doctor
marched in and secured his prize triumphant.
They bore the poor bear away tied TO lime,
keeping cloth saturated with chloroform
constantly at his nose, and took him 10 the
village, where cage had been prepared, the
bear was permitted to awake. Great ex-
