In reply to questions put to the North. Carolina
Presbyterian as to who was the agent OF the boston
(abolition) Tract Society, our contemporary says: q
at is our duty to state that the emssary to whom
we have referred is Daniel Worth. For year, or
two past it il notorious that he has been incuca-
ting publicly and privately his incendary doctrines
in Randolph and Guilford counties, and the time has
come when he should be compelled to abandon this
work. It is with great pain and reluctance that we
give publicity to these facts but stern sense of
duty forbids us from Withholding them any longer"
Further it says: ,'f
"After our first publication of the fact that he
had entered the State and uttered dangerous sent-
ments he wrote us violent and scurrilous letter,
place not giuen denouncing us for prosecuting, but
not disappearing him. The presence OF such
man would not be tolerated in any other State in
the South and but for the excessive and criminal
forbearance of our citizens would not be tolerated
in North-C Carolina. H..i5 u
The name of the emssary and a copy OF one OF
his reports have been forwarded to the legal author
ties who have jurisdiction in Randolph and Gull
ford counties If he stated the truth in these re-
ports, he manifestly violated the law and rendered
himself liable to criminal prosecution" -
We are pleased with such expressions from the
Presbyterian. 1t shows that it lsennnently North
Caroline Presbyterian. One that is not afraid to
sneak its honest convictions in the presence OF a
demaved and fanatcal imaginary Goodness which
it has to face amongst its Northern exchanges.
The Presbyterian speaking of the large and re-
spectacle family of the same name. says it is author
lied to that although he is distant rela-
tive of theirs, they have no connection with him,
and sternly disconntenance his acts. To this We
would add that no one the most abandoned would
charge upon any of these gentlemen the slightest
sympathy wit, that man. They are of our mo- t
worthy and influential citizens. and above anything
of that nature Where they are known they are re-
spccted and esteemed.-FhyetteriUe Carotinian.
How THE SHARK SHELTERS ITS YoUNG.-The
young sharks. upon the sight of danger, slip in
through the mouth of the parent shark, and when
the danger is over. issue forth to their element
again. This assertion has been treated rather un-
tremendously by who are nothing if not crit
ica, and who have with expressive shake OF the
head limited their doubts whether, granting the ia
Gle descent of the young into the parental stomach,
they ev got out again alive. For the benefit OF
such sneerers, we beg to produce evidence which
none will gansay. For acute observation and strict
accuracy whether he hits and hands down double

natural object We will back Admiral Smyth against
the field He relates how the vast Maize Bank, the
heads of which form the Seychelle Isles-dear to
conchologists--n the Indian ocean, is surprisingly
infested with sharks, blue. white, tiger, hammer
headed and the rest of the them. In January,
loU0, an enormous female monster was taken IN
Maize Bay. while cruising round the CORVALLIS
with others of her kind and surrounded by nu-
merous progeny. The weather was superb the wa
ter clear crystal and the vessel seemed to sleep
at her anchors so that we saw every object in the
best possible manner. This unwieldy fish was &C
tually caught with small hook, which had been
baited for rockcod and it is surprising that her at
tempts to escape should not have disengaged her,
except perhaps that the popularity of her situation
IN a measure prevented full exercise of strength.
On the first perception of danger, and while she
was being gently drawn alongside, all the Young
ones entered her mouth to seek safety. With some
difficulty, and much dexterlty, she was secured
and slung; but such was the weight of the quarry,
that it required the fore and mainyard tackles to
hoist her on board After giving sundry violent
flaps on the deck she overpowered, though still
exhibiting that astonishing tenacity of life common
to cold-blooded creatures. But now came the proof
that what we had seen deeeptio cisus. On a
large cash being made the fore part of the belly
We saw no fewer than thirty-eight young sharks
tumble out o. the orifice alive. They were each
nearly two feet in length, tinted with mackerel
colors and their mouths admitted arnan's head with
ease.
