A Prediction FULFILLED.

James Barbour, Dabney Carr, and Writ were
on their customary journey TO Fluvana. the ad-
joining county to Albemarle, to attend the court
there, the State of Flu" as that county was
called in their jocular terms.
They had been amusing each other with the
usual parkishness which characterized their in
tercourse. Writ was noted for making clever
speeches as they rode together. In these, he
was wont to imagine some condition Of circum-
stances adapted to his displays. Sometimes he
rode ahead of his companions, aud waiting for
them by the road side, welcomed them in an
Grafton of mock gravity to the confines of the
State of Flu" representing himself to be one
oothe dignitaries sent to receive the distin-
guished persons into whom he had transformed
the young attorneys of the circuit. These ex-
hibitions and others of the same kind are said
70 have afforded many laugh for the actors.

A Singular Relic.

Capt D'Auberville, of barque Chieftain of
Boston, writes to the editor of the Louisville Va
yieties that he put into Gibralter on the 9th Of
August last to repair some damage his vessel
had sustained, and while waiting, himself and
two of his passengers crossed the straits to Nj
Abylus, on the African coast, to shoot and pick
up geographical specimens. Before returning,
the breeze had freshened SO much as to render
it necessary to put more ballast in the boat;
and; one of the crew lifted what he suppos-
ed to be rock but from its extreme lightness
and singular shape was induced to call the at
tention Of the Captain to it; who at first took
it for a piece of pumice stone, but so complete
" covered with barnac!es and other marine
animalcule, as to deny that superstition. On
