EXPgAN NATHON.

In your paper of 18th April is an extract
from the y. y Observer, requiring some cor
rection The person who is supported as a
township charge in Charleston, Tioga'county,
1caS a FreewilI Baptist preacher, fifteen years
ago, to a small, poor church. Of his own
Srec-will, he quit preaching, and went into the
mercantile business ten years ago. He failed
in that enterprise, and is now supported by
the public. Such is the statement in the ".
7. Examiner. Whether the laws of PennsyI-
vania, for the poor, are sufficiently humane
whether, under the circumstances, he has any
special claim upon those among and with
whom he once labored for mutual good-and
whether they have afforded him as much aid
as their abilities warrant-are questions upon
which venture no opinion or statement.

follows: "Having seen many reports of won
ders, both in the vegetable and animal king
doms, take the liberty to transmit you the
following, which l will admit is somewhat
tough Charlton Phillips, of the town OF
West6eld, has a lamb about two months old.
In the extremely cold weather which we had
sometime since, the lamb unfortunately had
both hind legs severely frozen so bad that
both of them rotted entirely off, close to the
body. The lamb, as matter of course, was
now in a very sad predicament; but, how
ever, after many fruitless endeavors, it hit
upon the following singular mode of locomo-
ton. The lamb raises itself upon its fore
feet, with the body atan angle of about forty
FIVE degrees, and in this novel position it
walks and runs, with apparently the greatest
ease. 1t also stands in this position while
while feeding and, strange as it may seem,
