OF terrible storm of wind and rain, which
passed over the country in the region of Mari

DIsBANDINa FOREIGN MILITARY COMPANIES.
On the 18th, OF Cincinnati, Gen. Sargeant made
formal demand on each Of the military COM
panies composing the Irish battalion to deliver
up forthwith all the army appendages and &C.
coutrements in their possession, which order was
obeyed only By one company.
General Sergeant then sued out writs Of re-
plevin, and the Sheriff took possession Of the
entire accoutrements Of the other companies. A
similar demand is to be made on the German
companies. The gcause Of these demands is
alleged insubordination on the Fourth Of July
New Hampshire paper states, that o little
girl living near Gilmanton, in that State, has
been detected in the practice Of going a short
distance from her home TO play with black
snakes. She was found with large one eoiled
BY her side, and another in her lap. Her fss-
cination is complete that she told her friends if
they killed these reptiles she knew of others
that she could play with. This looks less in
credible than many other absurd stories We
have heard of the same nature.
FREAK OF HOR5E.-As splendid team Of
horses, attached to barouche, we're being
driven down Genesee street this morning, boy
unthinkingly fired pistol near them, when one
of the animals fell as if shot by cannon ball,
although the pistol was no. pointing toward
him when fred. He lay perfectly stilI-mo-
tlonless-for minute or more, then reared
violently, till he regained his feet, when the
driver used his arts to subdue the herse, and
the barouche moved on as if there had been no
interruption Of its progress: utica Observer.
STRANGE AND FIsHY.-We learn, from the
best authority, that for miles in the waters OF
the Beech Fork Of Salt river, the fish are dying
by thousands. The shore is covered with their
dead bodies to such degree that the atnlos-
phere is loaded with an offensive smell The
hogs have been turned loose to feed upon them.
No reason can be given for this fatality. Every
kind of fish ever seen in that region, with the
single exception Of the cat fish, has been found
killed louisville Democrat. 11th.
