1t was an old superstition, which has found
its way to the negroes of the United STATES
among whom it is still believed, that those
"whO are born on Christmas or Good-Fridav
have the power of seeing spirits and even Of
commanding them" and the blacks add that
no spirit can injure any one who was born on
Christmas. Shakespeare, in the following
lines, alludes to one Of the most beautiful of ali
these popular imaginings:
Some say, that ever 'ganst that season comes.
Wherein our Sayiour's birth is celeb lted
Inc bird Of dawning singeth all night long!
And then they say, no spirit dares stir abroad;
Inc nights are wholesome; then no planets strike.

BEAR SHOT IN JoHNsTON.-The Califor-
MIA bear which was sold at auction in this city.
few days ago, and taken out to the Greek
Tavern to winter, escaped from his cage, on
Friday, and created no little sensation by an
exhibition of its natural terocity The enrag-
ed animal first attacked a man who went to
the shed to get his horse, and the man backed
out III time to escape back-hug. Bruin then
climbed tree oyerhanging the turnpike, and
IN that position frightened the horses attached
to passing stage, and they ran away, but for
tunately the driver was able to keep them in
the road until their speed could be checked
satisfied with the result of that experiment his
bearship "backed down." and walking to the
house Of Mr.. Lttlefield, near by, placed his
paws upon a window sill and looked in. See
ing good looking young lady within, the ill
hammered beast struck the sash with his paw,
and thus summarily prepared the way for an
entrance not contemplated by the carpenters.
The lady fled shrieking to another room, and
then entered a complaint against Mr. Califor-
MIA Bruin for detacing building not his own,
and Mr.. Littlefield slipped five sugs into his
gun, went to the corner of the house and shot
the offender dead, capital punishment for
that kind of hOusebreakers. The carcass was
dressed and brought to town, where it will be
exposed for saIe.-Proridence Post.

ceived a warrant Sunday morning from Mr..
Justice ROtch, for the arrest of one James Al

him of his business and duty and demanded
abundance. Allen refused to surrender him
self, barricaded his door, and Threatened to
split the officers head open if he attempted to
arrest him. The officer, anticipating resist
ance, had called to his aid three or four reso-
lutte and determined citizens, and they forth
with proceeded to demOlish the door, and at
tempted to force an entrance. Allen stood
ready with his axe to carry his threat into ex-
ecutiOn. The officer and his assistants, moth
ing daunted, then advanced towards him, Al
len all the while striking at them with the fury
of mailman He aimed desperate blow at
the officers head, which was warded off by the
officer with board one foot wide that he had
taken to shield himself
The board was cleft by the blow from the
axe; but Allen struck with so much force that
he staggered forward little, and at that in
slant Mr.. Lothrop and his assistants sprung
upon him, feled him to the floor, wrested the
axe from his grasp, handcuffed him, and took
HIM before the magistrate, who held him to an
swer at the Court of Common Pleas to be hold
en- at Taunton in March next, and for the want
Of bail he was committed to await his trial.

The Milwaukee News of the Goth, in an
nouncing the arrival, gives some account of
the sporting English noblemen. With the ex-
ploring party sent out by the Canadian gov
ernment, they left Sclkirk, settlement of
some eight thousand inhabitants, on the Red
and Assinneboine rivers, on the 29th Of No
vember, with a train of seventy dogs for
Crow Wing, which point they reached after
fifteen days travel. At the time Of the St Paul
excursion, the hunting party were supposed to
have been killed by the Indians, but it seems
such was not the case. They had as trophies
of the chase, a large lot of buffalo and other
furs, the hide and horns of magnificent bufla-
10 bull that came near killing Lord Cayendish,
several Indian curiosities, and one of the dogs
used for drawing sledges, one of the Esoui-
maux breed, hearty appetite, and the rugged
health OF a grisly bear. They describe the
life they have been living as rather romantic
one day hunting, the next fishing; one day
chasing Sioux Indians, and the next being
chased in return and in all, very pleasant. Mr.
Richardson reports the country as fine prairie
clear atmosphere, pleasant in summer, cold in
winter, and very healthy.

a Word for Crinoline-It has recently oc
cured to ''Ye Scissors" of the Pittsburgh Jour
nat albeit unskillful in the mysteries OF fashion,
to speak word for crinoline,-yea, to justify
hoops. The Spectator-cynic that he was
had one general key to the bchaviorof the fair
sex in the matter of dress-thot any new
fashion was premeditatedly adopted ito smite
more efFectually their male bcholders."--
There may be some truth at the bottom OF this,
but we give the sex the credit of an occasional
exercise ofjudgment looking towards their own
comfort aud bodily betterment. Thus the hoop,
slight, roomy, graceful and airy, renders un-
necessary great masses ofmaterial ind enables
the far one to promenade the pavement or go
the round of the parlor with an the requisite ro-
tundity, and without those murderous layers
of petticoats; for such tasks of transportation,
the donkey and the dray horse are much better
adapted by nature. All the advantages of the
hoop need not here be set forth: we only hope
the fashion may be perpetuated, for the simple
reason that it carries with it the double blessing
Of grace and healthfulness.
These Scissors have fears mingled with hopes
Hoops have been, before now, and, after
triumphant season or two, were not.
