ped. The bark pealer or cutter makes a slit
in the bark with knife, pcrpcndicularly
from the top of the trunk to the bottom he
makes another incision parallel to it, and at
some distance from the former, and two
shorter horizontal cuts at the top and bot.

the cuts have been made, he leaves the tree
to throw off the bark by the spontaneous

THE SEA SERPEyT--It is reported by the
British brig Abcona, recently arrived at Liy-
erpool, that on the nth Of September last,
about =. NJ, in lat 80 s., long. l3 f., while
the ship was under light wind and in
smooth water, a sea monster Of great size
and singular appearance, was described
Attention was first directed TO it by the
broken action Of the water, which otherwise
was smooth all around The animal was
discovered protruding its head above water
to the length of about thirty feet, at an an.
gle Of sixty degrees to the horizon. His
head was about twelve feet long, and was
marked by white stripe or streak down
each side. At about six feet from the ter
mination Of the strcaks, which were pre-
sumed to be its jaws, there was protubcr-
ance on its back, like small watcr.cask.- -
The creature kept its eyes shut, but its eyes
were plainly visible. At the point of con.
tact with the water, the body seemed abou,
as large as the long boat The general color
was black, but under the jaw was quaint.
ty ofloose skin like n pouch, ofa lighter COL
or than the rest Of the animal. While un.
der observation he dipped under water three
times remaining submerged about minute
each time. From the broken action of the
water at diffcrcnts points, it seemed as il
prOtuberances similar to those on the back
existed on various parts Of the body. From
the best conjecture that could be made, il.
whole length was computed at $50 feet.

Tipping Ladies.

A iudicrous, but somewhat painful affair,
took place few evenings since, We under
stand says the New York Day Book, in a Sc.
lect Female Academy up town, compromi-
sing somewhat the mistress of the establish
mcnt. Several of the pupils mothers had
dropped in, and remained TO take dish Of
tea, and being short of milk, an Irish girl
was sent to ncighboring grocery to get
some. The tea was handed round, and some
surprise was felt that the milk did not color
it, but nothing was said. The particular fla.
vor, too, was remarked, but no one liked to
speak at length one lady ventured a hint,
and the exclamations became general. The
mistress Of the academy colorcd very deep.
ly, but, of course, could not account for it,
and summoned the girl.
"Bridget," said the lady, "what was that
you obtained at the grocery
Sure, it was milk, ma'am,' the girl ropli.
cd.
"Milk!" exclaimed the lady, "why smell
it," handing her the jug at the same time.
"lts gin, it is, or my nose desaves me, "
said the girl, ''but shure it's milk | asked
for, and don't go there for the same kind Of
milk for you, ma'am! 7"
1t is needless to say that the indignant pa
rents quilted the house after very formal
lcave-taking, and that several young ladies
were hastily summoned home.

Curious Statistics.

Some statistical genus declares that
"morc money is expended in the United
States for cigars than all the common schools
in the Union" A wag, who is undoubtedly
a lover of the weed, seeing this statement
going through the papers, gets off the io..
lowing:
1t has been calculated that the cost Of
washing linen that might just as well be
worn two days longer, amounts to enough in
this country to more :han deiray the eXpen-
scs of the American Boards Of Foreign Mis-
sions.
The expenses Of buttons worn on tho
backs of our coats, where they are of no
earthly use, is equal to the support Of all
our orphan asylums.
The value Of tails to dress coats (of no
value in reality, for warmth or convcnience)
is actually greater than the cost of our ex-
cclcnt system Of common schools.
II has been estimated that the value Of old
boots, thrown away, which might have been
worn at least day longer, is more than
enough to buy flannel night.gown for eve.
ry baby in the land. Also that the cost Of
the extra inch on the tall shirt.collars Of our
young men is equal to the sum necessary to
put the Bible into the hands ofcvery one Of
the Patagonian giants.

VINO INVENTED THE ZIG.zAG SicxLE?-
MEssRs. EDIroRs--0n the Cd inst, had an
interview with Hiram Moore, the gentleman
who invented the zig.zag sickle. lie assured
me that he was thelnventor in fact, and n
gentleman here assures me he has n letter
from Mr.. Leland, recognizing Mr.. Moore as
tho inventor. The question may now be
considered settled, and the only regret Is
that it was not put into general use, and tha,
the inventor did not receive his reward, and
the public the benefit Of it. The zg.zag
sickle then was invented II or IS years ago,
since which time llvc or six persons have
claimed to have invented the same thing.

SPIRITUAL lNTElLIGENCE--N NEWS AHEAD OF
THE TELEGRAru- Philadelphia Bulletin
having invited the spiritual mediums in that
region to communicate what they could find
out in relation to the death Of the Emperor
Nicholas, a singular medley Of intelligence
from the ethereal or some other regions was
poured into the hopper of that Journal
Here are couple Of dispatches from some
what distinguished spirits:
Napoleon BOnaparte-The Gar has not
yet arrived in the city; he will he here by
eight o'clock. lie has arrived. Huzza |!
God save Liberty and my country forever!
Nicholas RomdnoF-i was poisoned by
one OF my mobiles, because would not have
peace my second son, Constantine, aged
twcnty.scve years, will bc Emperor. He
will proclaim peace; stocks will be up in
market
We are glad to learn that Constantine is
to be Emperor, for h, is greatly superior in
capacity to Alexander.
\ New Jersey medium, having told just
about what we have all read in the newspa-
pers, was pressed TO tell more, and stated
distinctly that old Nick had been poisoned
by one Of his attendants. We quote:
He revived somewhat during the night,
vious to his death, which occurred as stated
above. lie was perfectly aware OF his con-
dition, and named his second son, Constan'
, tine, us his successor.
| The prospect of peace is as far distant now
as il the Gar had lived, us one of his d, ing
requests was that the war should be prose
cutcd, and, to use his own words, "Russio
must conquer
Another medium says, "Nicholas is no,
dead, but sleepetl'' lie is to wake uT
when the news of the excitement in London
caused by the announcement of his deatl
shall have reached St. Petersburg.
Crazy old Paul thus Eliminates:
81, Paul Romanoif, late Emperor Of al
the Russias, do hereby certify that my sol
Nicholas is not dead. The report was onl,
u trick to fool the allies aud help along som,
grand stockjobbing operations. Nicholas
was a good boy to me and he will live lont
enough to punish his foes"
st. Arnaud oxults like true Frcnchman
"Nicholas est mort Scbastopol es
prise! C'cst un mauvais subjct, &C Mon
sieur Nicholas Les ames mobiles ct legit
lines DC cctte sphere nc le reconnaissent pas
Mais, IL est mort. Vivc Ia gloirc! Viv,
rEmpcreur
"Monsieur Nicholas" must be "bad sub
ject" indeed if the spiritual associates Of St
Arnaud should give him the cut direct, q
they are cxhorted to do.
Al, the circumstances attending the dealt
of Nicholas must be as clear as spiritua
mud, if VIC arc to credit these statements 9

ByRoS AND PEEL.--There was at school
fine clever boy, who was known as ''little
Bob Peel" One day it happened that one
of the older boys, u stout brutal fellow, un.
dcrtook to make "fag,"-that is a sort of
school slave-of young Peel; but tho little
hero resisted with all his might. This ty
rant, however soon conquered, and then pro
cccdcd to beat him in the most cruel man
ncr In the midst of this another boy somc-
what older than Peel, but too small to hope
to master the large boy, came running up,
with tears in his eyes and his checks hot with
indignation, asked how many blows no
meant to inllict.
"why, what is that to you, you young
rascal!" Was the reply.
because, il you please" said tho noble
