ter of his religion in the following manner :
A certain slave had obtained, license Of

forth in the presence OF many OF his col
orcd brethren at one time, when he under
took to describe the process of Adams crea-
ton. Said he, "whcn God make Adam, he
stoop down, scrape up a little dirt wet it a
little, warm it in Lis hands, and squeeze
it in de right shape, and den lean it up
against the fence TO dry--

4 Duck WHIPPING AN EAGLE.-The Pc
tersburg Inelligencer narrates the following
incident :: "a large bald eagle pounced up
on sturdy muscovy drake, on Thursday
evening, at Mr. John Rowletts' farm in Prince
George in order to make meal Of him {;
but the drake, not relishing such an uucere-
monous call, put his muscular energies into
very active exercise, and made so scientific
use of them as to give his feathered ma
jesty sound drubbing whereupon the lat
ter, determined not to mount upwards
again with an empty stomach, made vi
gorous attack upon one Of the lady ducks Of
the yard, who was fortunately rescued from
the talons Of the hungry and savage bird, be-
fore she sustained any serious injury. 1t
was decidedly one of the most fiihbustering
that we have heard of for a long
time The eagle narrowly escaped capture;
and he will not again, we imagine, under
take another expedition of the kind"

Mayors CoURr-W. W. LAND, Pre-
siding.-This morning between two and
three o'clock, as watchmen Messick and
West were going their round, they heard
some one calling for help on Main street,
near where the old Court House stood and
on approaching the spot, found it to be
Edward, slave of Brooks and hired by
John Ridley. Edward was very drunk;
80 much 80 that some one had stole the
shoes off his feet, and he could tell Moth
ing about the matter. Edward also
states that some one had robbed him of
his money, which we suppose was Mr.
Bald Face, lightning warranted to kill
four miles and half up hill.
Edward appeared before Magistrate
Lamb this morning this Honor the Mayor
being out Of town) who after hearing the
evidence in the case gave him very Sc
we're reprimand and discharged him.
There is no doubt that if the two watch
men spoken of above had not been near
at the time the fellow was crying for help
ho would have fell in the snow and per-
haps frozen to death.

THE 22ND OF FEBRUARY.-There is no
doubt upon our mind, that many, if not
all of our readers have come to the con-
clusion that yesterday the 22nd of Fet-
mary; the birth day of Washington, was
not celebrated.in our city, to all who rest
under the impression, we can say they
are labouring under great mistake. The
day was celebrated, and that too in a
very quiet and peaceable manner. Yes
terday morning about eleven o'clock
party of gentlemen met together at
Concert Hall, who partook of q iine
collation. prepared for the OCCASION
Wit, mirth and sentiment abeuuded, and
everything passed off in very becoming
manner. Many toasts were given, but
on account of the lateless of the hour
when we reached there we were only
able to gather few, which we annex.
By j. NJ. T. W. Washington-the
Father Of his Country-may We as cit
izons of this great republic initiate his cx-
ample.
ByeJ. N. w. The memory Of WASH
ington, may it mover die as long as time
may last, and those who sojourn here be-
low ever follow his footsteps.
BY y. n. Our forefathers love for
You, made it instinct in us to revive; your
memory. t
! ByJ.H. Here's to General Wash
ington-may his memory never BIO forge =
xsenaby any true American.
By A. G. G. May the memory of
Washington be ever referred to among
the rising gcneration-and may eur lives
be one long dream of happiness, strewed
with flowers Of love and affection, and
when it ends may the bloom on the
rose tree of eternal life be our fond pray
er.
By B. J. j. May the chain of friend
ship, that now SO closely binds us to-
gether, never be separated by tho foul
tongue of SANDER.
BY j. ]. H. To pay respect to the
name of Washington is glory enough for
one day.
BY ]. It. E. May the stars and stripes
that now surround the Father Of his
Country never strike to the hand Of ty-
rapny.
At two o'clock the party adjourned, all
pleased with the proceedings of the NOR
ming.
