Puzzled PIG.-One OF our Western farm
ers being very much annoyed by his SOW
breaking into the cornield, search was insti-
tinted in vain for the hole in the rail fence.
Failing to find one, attempt was next
made to drive out the animal by the way she
entered, but of course without success The
owner resolved to watch her proceedings, and
posted at night to fence corner, he saw her
enter at one end of hollow log, outside Of
the field. and emerge at the other end within
the enclosure. Il have yon now, old lady )"
cried he. Accordingly he proceeded, after
turning her out once more. to so place the log
Git being crooked) that both ends opened ont
side the field. The next day the animal en-
tered her accustomed place, and shortly after
emerged again. Her establishment, says our
informant, at finding herself in the same po-
sition whence she started, is too ludicrous to
be described. She looked this way and then
that, grunted her dissatisfaction, and finally
returned to the original starting place, and
after deliberate survey of things TO satisfy
herself that all was right, again entered the
log On emerging once more on the wrong
side she eyinced even more surprise than be-
fore, and turning about retraced the log in an
opposite direction. Finding this effort alike
in vain. after looking long and attentively at
the position of things, with short angry
grunt of disappointment, and perhaps fear,
she turned around and started off at a brisk
run, nor could either coaxing or driving ever
induce visit TO that part of the field. She
seemed 10 have a superstition concerning
the spot.'

ABOUND About Arrival.

Our marine column contains remarkable
aud noteworthy arrival-all the way from
Milwaukee. The schooner AIDA, Capt. Chase,
was built at Milwaukee. and was loaded Mt
ST. Josephs, Opposite Milwaukee, She passed
through Lake Michigan, the Straits of Mack
mac, Lake Huron. the st. Clair River, &c.
and the Welland Canal, and the Lake Route,
into the St. Lawrence River, and through
the Gulf or St. Lawrence and Cut of CansO
into the salt Pondn known as the At
lantic.
She left ST. Josephs on the 28th May. and
reached Providence. Il. l., on the 18th July
after route of 5000 miles. From New
York to Charleston she made 500 miles, in
all 1000 miles.
She would have reached an English port,
had she made that course from the Gulf OF
St. Lawrence, in less time than has been
taken to reach Charleston. She is now TAX
ing a cargo ofLumber tor South American
port.
The AIDA differs in many respects from
our schouners of the Atlantic make, and will
repay a critical examination from all Bauti-
cal eyes. She may be seen at Kerr'S Wharf.

Balloon AscensIOn-Emers Ether

Emerson Etheridge was the name given to
q large balloon which was constructed on
Monday last, in honor of one of Tennesse's
noblest sons, whose true worth and merit
have purchased for him seat in the next
Congress from the ninth Congressional Dis
trict of the State.
At very early hour on Monday night, the
citizens of our town and vicinity, male and
female, big, little, old and young had cOngre-
gated on the Public Square to witness the
ascension of Emerson Etheridge." They
were not long held in suspense before the
aerial messenger was brought forward and
properly arranged for its airy flight. About
half past eight O'Clock il was inflated with a
sufficient quantity OF gaseous MATERIAL
holds were relinquished, and upward it went
amid the deatening shouts of the multitude.
Upward and still upward it went until it
struck sOutheasterly breeze, when it moved
off in that direction with increased velocity.
Onward it went, whilst the natives made the
welkin ring with shouts for Etheridge, until
the airy rider of the wind faded away in the
dim distance.
Our Public Square was brilliantly iliumi-
nated-sky-rockets were sent blazing heaven
ward and fire balls were thrown TO and fro,
rendering the scene gorgeous and intensely
thrilling. If it was not a proud day" 1t
was proud night for En-. Etheridge. Our
Opposition friends were vociferous in their
glee and enjoyed themselves hugely. The
whole affair was grand aud stirring jubilee.

Texas srasron.

1t is stated that the wife OF Hon. F. r
LUBBOCK. the democratic candidate for Lieu
tenaut Governor of Texas at the late cleo
ton, made the entire canvass with her hus-
band throughout the Northern and Western
frontier of chat State. To those acquainted
with the extent and witness of that from
tier, the faithfulness and devotion of that
heroic woman WILDE duly appreciated. The
Austin Gazette thus refers to the fact:
"Sometimes they travelled over fifty miles
day, and the Col. then made his speech and
again started for another appointment. We
believe that be failed to nil about one ap-
pointment. and then he spoke twice addi-
tional. Frequently they saw the sad effects
of the deeds of the Indians, and sometimes
were near their haunts. With an undaunt ed
heart the wife of Frank r. Lubbock never
quailed, after she had once subdned those
feelings of fear which are common TO her
sex. by the reflection that her husband was
exposing himself to the hazard for the sue
cess of great party.
In her first fears. realised on hearing her
husband advised to turn back or bis horses
would be stolen 10y the Indians that night,
and he perhaps killed, she asked her husband
to send her back. This ne quickly assented
to. But another moments reflection and the
thought of leaving him was gone forever.
She declined to return, and resolved to stay
by bis side, come what trial of her fortitude
might This resolution she infexibly adher-
ed to to the last hour of the canvass, travel
ing early and late through vast and sparsely
settled frontier country. in their own private
conveyance, and undergoing all the exposure
and fatigue incidental TO a lady under such
circumstances. and hearing constantly OF
Indian murders and depredations.
We turn TO this picture of a heroic woman,
with pride and gladness that she is Texas
matron, and worthy is she OF place among
her brightest stars

A LIVING HEAD ON A DEAD BoDY.-Mr.

It'd head foremost to the ground, and dislo-
Gated his neck; but very fortunately aud
mysterously did not kill him. When his
head was brought to its proper position, the
yerterba of the neck returned to their place
with dull but distinct snap. The whole
body is paralyzed aud dead from the neck
downwards. He is not capable OF moving
muscle or experiencing the slightest pain.
Fortunately the nerves supplying the muscles
used in respiration were not paralyZed, and
he can breathe and live; had the injury of
the spinal cord been a little higher, he would
have died Immediately. The sense OF sight,
hearing, smelling, &c, are normal, and his
Intellect is unimpaired.

some indications OF IA return of sensation and
the power of motion, aud 1t is just possible

Death by Browning of Rev. Jno. A


We learn from the Louisville Democrat, that
n despatch was received in that city, Monday,
announcing the melancholy death, by drown
ing, of Rev. JOHN A. McCLuSG, pastor OF the
Presbyterian Church at Maysvile. The un-
fortunate event occurred at Niagara, where
Mr.. McCLUNG was spending the summer. We
have no particulars Of the sad casualty.
The deceased, truly remarks the Democrat,
was man of the highest order OF genius.
His father was celebrated jurist in the early
annals of Kentucky and his mother was sister
of the celebrated Chief Justice MARSHALL.
Mr. MCCLUNG was educated at Princeton for
the ministry, but subsequently studied law,
and rose to high rank at the bar. He was
eloquent, profound aud logical, but somewhat
eccentric in manner.
After a seccessful career as a lawyer and
politician, as well as an author, he resumed
bis position in the Church, and for several
months preached in the First Presbyterian
Church of Louisville. He then removed to
indianapolis, and afterwards to Maysville, in
the vicinity of which place he was born. He
was brother of the famous Col. MCCLUNG
of Mississippi.

@-An ugly wrangle seems to be brewing
united and harmonious national Democra-
Cyl" at Memphis-the appeal and the AUa-
ldr;ehe. The Appeal quoted paragraph from
q speech of Mr.. CALHOUN 10 show that that
distinguished oracle of southern rights did
not favor the direct Intervention of Congress
for the protection of slavery in the terrific
ries. The Avalanche said the passage quoted
was garbled. The APpedl replied that it took
the quotation as it appeared in one or two of
its exchanges. Then the AuaLanche pitches
into the appeal, calling it trimmer" a
.'har-splitter" and all that sort of thing, the
la { blast concluding follows:
at is evident that the Appeal has cut itself
loose from the Democracy of the South and
gone over to Douglas. 1t has evidently en-
braced, and Is now propagating, the scanda-
lous doctrine of his Freeport speech. 1t holds
that Congress has the power to protect
slavery in the Territories, and yet ought not
TO exercise il for the benefit of the South. II
the argument of the appeal shows anything,
il shows that the South has constitutional
right to enjoy unmolested possession of slave
property in the Territories, and yet Congress,
with full power to protect them in that right,
ought quietly to consent TO see them deprived
OF it by a set OF miserable squatters and
robbers. Such position is an absurdity.
1t is an insult TO common sense-an outrage
upon common honesty. 1t is equivalent to
asserting that Congress should not interfere
to prevent violation OF justice and the Con-
stitution. 1t is saying TO the Abolition
squatters of Territory, 1t would be wrong
In you 10 abolish slavery or exclude or OPP
press it by 'non-action or uniriendiy legisla-
tion," yet If you choose To do this wrong we
will not modest you'll Out, We say, upon
such a bald humbugl 1t is contemplate. 1t
is u cheat aud u swindle. A paper aud party
that resorts to such logic and subte fuge
naast be hard run for something to add to
their small stock of ammunition"
This is truly unfortunate. The breach
must Inevitably widen, until all the faithful
organs OF the party will be involved on the
one side or the other. But there is one re-
deeming quality into the business: However
bitter the denunciations of the ApaLaaeAe and
aud coadjutors, of Judge Douglas, they will
form no bar 10 his support hereafter. The
whole batch of them will support b. m, should
he be the nominee of The Charleston Conven-
ton. with the greatest vigor and alacrity.
These little squabbles are merely pastimes.
II. however, the present shall peradventure,
prove an exception, and the war should grow
fierce and exterminating in It's character be-
tween the tire-eaters aud the squatter-soverign-
ty advocates-to restore the lines quoted by
the Apdlanehs-we

Detroit Tribune speaks volumes against the
administration:
A STARTLING RECORD OF OFFICIAL MIsCoN-
DUCT AND CRIME-Never before has there been
such a set of Federal office holders in Mlchi-
gan, as under the present Administration.
The facts are truly startling. First we had
the case Of Postmaster O'Flyn, charged by
his party organ, with illegal official practices.
with downright POPULATION and subOrnation
of perjury, and these charges the same organ
assures us were so far proven as to procure
his dismissal. Then comes the case Of Mr..
Shoemake, Collector of the port OF Detroit,
who is also charged by his partizans of the
grossest official corruption. including the
whole range OF possible dishonesty in the
circle of official action. We have given
specifications and need not repeat them. And
now we have a still more astonishing develop
ment. The police on Friday last brought TO
this city from the scene of his late crimes in
Lexington, Sanilac county, Mr.. Maybee, a
Postmaster and United States Deputy Mar
sLall, charged with rifling the mails and being
engaged in the manufacture and circulation
of bogus money! We do not know whether
other States can show such record of Fee
deral ofice-holdcrs as this. In all humilia-
ton o.! spirit, at the bed eminence of our own
State, We hope nOt.-DetrOu Tribune.

EXTREME OF SEcKECY.-The Washington
States says it does not ''believe that the Presi-
dent has let hair upon his head know who,
among the numerous aspirants, he prefers for
the place which he now fills" He is right
in not trusting even the hair upon bis head,
for all the other parts of him have been SO
given TO treachery, that his hair would not
likely prove an exception.
