A Pretty Incident. !

We heard very pretty incident the other
day, which we cannot help relating. A Young
lady from the South, it seems, was woed and
won by a youthful physician, living in Califor-
MA. When the engagement was made, the
doctor was rich, having been successful in San
Francisco. Is had not existed six months,
however, when, by an unfortunate investment
he lost his entire heap This event came
upon him, it should be added, just as he was
making ready to come and claim his bride
What does he dol Why, like an honorable,
chivalrous young fellow, as he is, sits down,
and writes every particular of the unhappy
turn which had taken place in his fortunes as
surfing her that if the fact produced any change
in her feelings toward him, she is released
from every promise she had made him. And,
what does the dear, good girl, do! Why, she
takes lump Of gold which her lover had sent
her when in prosperity, as keepsake, and hav-
ing 1t manufactured into ring, forwards il to
him, with the following Bible inscription en-
graved in distinct characters on the inside -
Entreat me not TO leave thee or return from
following after thee for whittier thou goest
will go; and where thou odgest will lodge
thy people shall be my people, and thy God
my God where thou dest will | die and
there viii be buried the Lord do SO TO me
and more also. if nought but death part thee
and me-
The lover idolized his sweetheart more than
ever when he received this precious evidence
OF her devotion to him, both in storm and sun
SHINE We may add that fortune soon again
smiled upon the young physician, and that he
subsequently returned to the North, to wed the
sweet gtri ne loved, and who loved him with
such an undying affection. Nay, more, the
happy BRIDE and bridegroom passed THROUGH
our city, not long since, on their way TO the
home of the latter 10 the golden State

Inquiries about Shanghais.

A Mohawk farmer writes to an agricultural
editor that the hen fever RACES some up
that way, and inquiries:
Now what do you think Of the variety called
Shankhighs, whose name don't belle them T.
l tell my wife they have no body at all, and
that when the head is cut off the legs come
right apart! Am / right!' Neighbor Buck
ingham's wife says they're the beatenest to

Onst. don't believe tits contrary to mater.
/ think they only recline little, as it were,
and-Jerusalem how can them things set 2
my jack knife can set as well as they can.
tell you, Mr.. Editor, they put things out
ofjoint, too, dreadfully. When Buckinham' s
wife got her Shankhighs home the other day,
old Kink happened to hear the rooster crow
the first time, and not knowing anything about
the matter, summoned half the place to come
and help get the old blink-eyed mule out of
the crib. Old kink says dey don't sit on de
roost as udder chicken nohow, but dey sits
straddle of de stick; cause why, when dey

off backward. Correct philosophy that.
They sit when they eat, know, for I've
seen 'em do it; and I've seen 'em try to eat
standing, but twas no go; when they peck at
a grain of corn on the ground they don't morn
half reach it, but the head hobs right between
their legs, making them turn complete SOM
erset. Maybe they're like swinged cats,
worse than they look, and that's bad enough,
anyhow. I'd as soon see pair of tongs or
compasses walking about the yard as these
Shankhighs. And had like to have forgot
to tell you that Pete says they're big liars,
cause dey crows long time fore day in de
mornin, when faint day; but Kink says Pete
don't fleet that their legs is SO long dey see
daylight long time fore common chickens.

Not long since, the President, in an after
noon ride with his estimable lady and female
friend, was brought up by the gate upon the
Columbia turnpike, on the opposite side of the
Potomac. His coachman searched his pockets
in vain for the requisite shilling. The Presi-
dent searched his. But alas, not a solitary
shilling had they among them The toll

Repellent Qualities of certain Colors to
a4H Lightning. n H
in the frequency of death by lightning in this
country, the following may lead to important
discoveries Of other means of protection beside
iron rods A paper was read before the Lon
don Electrical Society at their recent sitting
by Captain John Arrowsmith, in which he de-
tails some new views in relation TO the repel-
lent qualities of certain coors to lightning, and
the attractive force Of others-which may pos
sibly be valuable discovery. Captain Arrow
smith states that be had made thirty voyages,
during which the vessel under his command
had been niuety-eight different times within
the vortex of the electric fluid, and that in no
instance had it come in contact with those parts
Of his masts and spars coOred with black paint,
made of lamp black and oil, and that the parts
implanted were often shivered to pieces by the
lightning. He was ledto make the experiment
from reading the singular effects of lightning
upon pie-bald cattle and horses, the affinity of
the fluid for those parts of the streaks in the
animals which were white being remarkable.
Captain Arrowsmith farther states, his practice
has been 10 take in and furl his sails upon the
approach of lightning to his vessel. We
should like TO know ii any difference has ever
been remarked in this country, in liability of
the black and white races TO be struck by light
ming. The facts in relation to the inquiry
would be well worthy Of note.
