The,surprising faculties of vultures in.' discovering carrion, has been a subject of much speculation, as; to whether it is de pendent on their power* of scent or N sights It is not, however, more mysterious than the unerring certainty and rapiuity with which of the minor animals* and move especially insects, in warm climates, congregate around the offal on which they feed. Circumstanced as they are, they iUUst be guided toward their object main ly, if not exclusively, by the sense of smell but that which excites astonish ment, is the small degree of odor which seems to suffice for the purpose; the sub tHy and rapidity with which jt traverses and impregnates the air; and the keen' and quick perception with which it is ta ~®n up by tho organs of those creatures. The instance of the scavenger beadle has been alluded to; the promptitude which they discern the existence v of matter suit ed to their purposes, and the speed with which they hurry to it from all directions ; oftep from distances as extraordinary, pro portionately, as those traversed by the eye of the vilture In the instance of the dy ing elephant referred to above, life was barely extinct, when the flies, of which hot one was visible bub a moment before, arrived in clouds and blackened the body by their multitude; scarcely an instant was allowed to elapse from the commence ment of decomposition ; no odor of putre faction could be discerned by us who stood close by ; yet some peculiar smeh of mor ality, simultaneously with'parting breath, must have summoned them to the feast.— Aota exhibit an instinct equally surpri sjng. I have sometimes covered up a par ticle of refined sugar with paper in the centre of a polished table, and counted the numberpf minutes which would pass before it was fastened on by the small black ants of Ceylon, and a line formed to lower it safely to the floor. Here was a substance which to our apprehension at least, v is altogether inodorous, and yet the quick sense of smell must have been the only conductor.of the auts.' It has been observed of those fishes which travehover- on the evaporation of the ponds in which they live, that they ihvariably march in the direction of the nearest water; and even when captured, and placed on the floor of a room, their efforts to escape are always towards tho same point. Is the sense of smell sufficient to account for this display in them? or is it aided by special organs as in the case of the others ? Tennmt. Have you ever, asks a correspondent of the New York Commercial , seen this tuighty cataract and its surroundings when the Frost King held sway over them ? If not you have never yet seen Niagara in its greatest beauty and marvelousness.—- From above the great fall, down both sides of the river to below the ferry, every tree and shrub is encased in frozen spray not ice, like frozen water simply, but a pure, solid, white mass, granular, like fine marble— the perpendicular cliffs columned W mighty iciolcs, which apnear like Vast supports .to these eternal ‘ walls of stqne. Flashing in the sunlight, the whole scene as you approach' the river’s bank dazzles sight and brings to mind all the,glories ol the fairy scenes whereof we read in that child’s book of enchantment, thfe Arabian Nights.” Lupa Island- Little Luna—from across the stream, looks, with her stunted cedars weighed down and covered with this frost work, like a heard Of white elephants ,•'but when you go over to it, and walk in under, as | you oan, you are really in a grotto of dia monds—the bright sun shining down and giving an appearanpe of splendor not else where to bfi found. The eddies have 'clogged and. cemented the cakes of ice that came down over the falls, and a bridge is lormed for foot passengers, and seem ingly strong enough'to bear a horse. Of this, as there is nothing to. pay 'for cros sing and looking, (a wonder of the Niaga ra’s wonder) numbers hourly take advan tage. Standing on mid river and looking upward, the scene is- imposingly, grand ana beautiful/ With a polo I measured throu h the different fissures to ascertain the thicknhss of the ipe, : and found it was nearly fifteen feet. \ . Getting as near mid river as I could, I “ spread myself,” and stood, oh the water ..with. one foot onQueen Victoria's domic ions, the other op pair, own. The scene by. moonlight and ( starlight is equally beautiful, standipg on the ice, the flash ing of this water .and th.e brightness reflec ted from the ice enabled hie to read easily the, ordinary print of a newspaper. Be linye pie, Niagara in winter will repay a journey from the; e*trenrest>polnt of our j country, and it is surprising that so' few tahe advantage of the facilities for react ion it. and witnessing the glorious burst of radiaocc v?bioh nature at this season there spreads out , A geptlejpaap Qlandihg in his stable lot ip Petersburg-, Va., with a pitch-fork in his hand, caughta cTnckenJbawfe oh-flie prdngs of thefmk ache di?ed at a flohk of chickens.
