STRANGE. IF TRUE.-The Glasgow Daily Mail
says that a woman named Mrs. Hunter, re-
siding at Brax Woods. passed an animal of an
extraordinary description. She imagined that
it had been in her stomach for upwards of six
years, as during that period she had expe
rienced novel and unpleasant sen sations
which no remedy, in the shape Of medicine
could remove, and of which she is now re.
lieyed. The animal was three inches in cir.
cumfer ence, and about six inches in length,
had head shaped like that of a cat, mouth
we'll formed, ne eyes, and no feet. Its tail
was forked, but not sharp. The belly was
fat, and nearly an inch in breadth. The
whole body was covered with incipient scales,
and was striped like leech. Around the
neck and shoulders, there was amembraneous
frill Of q peculiar form. The color of the an.
imal was dark brown, the nose being white
Mrs. Hunter is about IS years of age, and has
for long time been in i'll health. '.

Captain Luce's History.

Tho New York Times has collated from va,
tious sources the following brief facts re lative
to the past history Of Capt. Luce, which We
take pleasure in laying before our readers
James G. Luce was born at Rochester, Mass
in the year 1906, and is consequently at this
time forty eight years Of age. At the age Of
sixteen years, he commenced his career as q
mariner, and so successful was he in all of the
subordinate positions he occupied, that before
he was twenty-One he was placed in command
of ship, and from that time up to 1850. he
was very successful commander. In that
year, on account of the eminence be had at
| tanned as . skilful navigator and able captain,
he was invited to the command of the noble
steamer Arctic. He accepted the invitation,
and obtained q popularity both for himself
and that noble vessel. seldom equalled and
| never exceeded and his noble conduct suhse-
quent to the recent calamity, has crowned
him with laurels which in coming years will
| remain ever green, and will associate his name
in the future with all that is brave and self
sacrificing.
In Capt. Luce's experience as commander,
he never met with an accident until May last.
when, as the Arctic was passing the southern
| coast Of Ireland, on her voyage home the last
previous to this, she struck on the Tuscan rock,
| but was speedily got off. Captain Luce, how

| in order that the fall extent of the damage
might be ascertained. 1t was found that the
| injury was slight, and she was enabled to re-
sumo her voyage ia q few days. $50.
Another singular fact connected with the
| history Of the vessels which he commanded
prior to his taking the Arctic is, that seven
| out of the nine were lost after he left them
Captain Luce has been twice married The
first time, in 1888, to Miss Leonard, of Massa-
chusetts, who died in 1886, after having given
birth to his only remaining son, Robert, now
eighteen years ofage, who is at present in Troy,
engaged in studies to perfect himself in engi
neering In 1888 Captain Luce married Miss
Elizabeth Fearing, his present wife, and the
mother Of little Willie, her only child, whose
| sad fate is recorded among those who persisted
on board the Inflated Arctic.

this claim ~.
The notice of the claim, with the evidence
in its support, was duly published and was
not acted upon In the way of confirmation,
until more than year and half afterwards.
when congress passed the act approved June
70, 1854, entitled 6 An a,t confirming certain
land claims in Louisiana in the Bastrop
grant"
The Executive cannot now look behind this
oonfirmatory act, with view of entertaining
any application to set aside and hold the act
OF confirmation nugatory. Wepossess no such
power. Turn, however, to tho confirmatory
law itself, and you will find it guards adverse
rights; for it declares-'' That the confrma.
ton by this act shall only operates as a re-.
linqulshment on the part of tho United States.
and shall not affect the right of adverse claim
ants to the lands, nor prevent judicial deci
SION IN regard to the same:' and further pro-
vides that, . IT in any case claim confirmed
oy this act was not actually located prior to
the 80 OF March, 1851, no location of the same
shall be made to the prejudice of any actual
settler; but such floating claim may be located
on any public lands in tho Ouachita district.
to which there may be no existing pre-emn.
tlon, or other valid claim, under such regula-
tons as may be prescribed by the Commits.
siOner of the General Land Office
With a view ultimately to give proper effect
to the confrmatory law, instr uctions have been
communicated by this Office to the Surveyor
General at Donaldsonville. Should there be
any valid objection to the location as now
claimed in the aforesaid case, any testimony
you may desire to file in regard to it should
be presented to the Surveyor General, after
notice to tho parties representing the private
claim.

FALLEN-It becomes melancholy duty
to chronicle the death of one OF our Oldest
citizens. S. LIsLE SMITH. He expired at
his residence, on Sunday last, surrounded
by his family and friends.
The departed had lived among us for
period of sixteen years, and his name %
ineffaccably associated with the growth OF
our city, in which he experienced pecull-
ar pride, and over which his brilliant tai
ents she'd a lustre. The memory OF the el-
oquence of the gifted orator will not soon
fade from the public mind, which he could
sway at times as with the wand Of magi-
clan. The remembrance of his his virtues
will ever live in the hearts OF those who
commaned with him as a friend. For those
who mourn the sudden rupture Of the most
tender ties, there is no language to express
their grief; how applicable to their case 10
