AGRApHIc DESCRIPTION OF SIERRA LEONE.
"A worthy weathcr-beaten old sea captain
orce gave perfectly definite notion Of
Sierra Leone, i'll one little anecdotc: a,
"Sierra Leone, sir" he said; "Ill tell
you what Sierra Leone is like. A black
fellow, sir, goe, into the market It's hot
as, well anything. He buys q melon
for three farthings--and what does he do
with it? The black fellow. sir, hasn't Iay
on. He's rs bare as robin. He buys
his melon, cuts it in halves, and scoops out
the middle. He sits in one half, covers
his head with the other, and eats the mid
die. That's what he does. sir. | saw

Some time since the Philadelphia North
american called the attention of the mer-
chants and butchers of that city to the fact
that ample supplies Of beef cattle for their
markets might easily be obtained atlow cost
from the immense herds which abound in
the Republic of Venezuela. The idea was
Immediately embraced by several parties,
who have gone to Venezuela to contract for
cattle to be brought hthsr. The number
mentioned is 90 900 head; butwe presume
that, should the enterprise prove remunc-
rative, q steady importation thence will be
kept up. As regards the quality of these
Venezuelan beeves, it is said that no fears
need becntertaincd. They are of the Span
ish spike horned breed, to be seen in some
parts Of Louisiana and Texas.

The Michigan City Enterprise gives the
following account of Il distressing accident
which occurred there on Friday last;
"a bout o'clock in the afternoon Of FRI
day, Mr.. Doyle (whU has a grocery cstab<
lishment on Michigan street, was alarmed
by the cry that his house was on fire. In
n few moments he was at his residence,
when, instead ofhs dwelling beingin flames
horrible to rclate!-he found his Wife
and little daughter burning mass Of flesh
which the active exerious OF the ncighbors'
had nearly succeeded in quenching. II
appears that the family made use Of burn
ing f1aid.' and tina! they were in the habit
Of kindlins fire by pouring little Of is
upon the wood. and igni.ng it. From the
appearance Of the newly kindlcd fire. and
the fact that the can containing the fluid sat
in close proximity to the stove, with the bot
tom burst out of It, the impression seems TO
be quite prevalent that Ike mother after ig-
hitting the fire, had left the can near the
the stove, and gone about making prepare
tons for supper. While Mrs. d. was thus
engaged, tie little girl, in imitation of her
mother. no doubt, took the can and COM

which, as soon as it came in contact with
