are of the species known as the AXo Latl, |
seldom seen IN this country, but numerous |
in the lakes of Mexico. They are a
smooth-skinned, black, ugly-looking reptile,
with four legs, finny tail, and horns on
their heads, which they can unfold in the

their knowledge that a celebration of the
kind was contemplated. The notice came
to us through the Post Office. The same
notice was published in the ChilicOthe
Advertiser last Thursday.
Our neighboring village of Greenfield
is much on first-class sensations. The last

the churches of that place, whose pastor,
an eloquent Scotchman, was found a few
days since lying upon the threshold of
the sanctuary in a state of beastly intoxica-
ton, with bottle of bourbon in one of his
gesticulators, and an empty ditto bottle
lying near him. They picked him up gently
and put him in his little bed with a wet
