A late number of the-Spirit of the Times has a humorous story called “The Big Bear uf Arkansas.” Wij take a fragment. “Where did all that happen-?.” asked a; cynical looking Hoosior. “Happened? happened in ArkinsaW? where else ctould it have happened but in the crea tion State, the finish up countiy; a State where the site runs down to the centre of ’arlh, and Government gives you a title to every inch of it. Thcnits airs Just breathe them and they will make you snort liken horse. lt ; s a State without a fault itis.” , “Excepting musquetocs,” cried the Hoo sici\ , . ■ “Well, stranger, except them, for it are a Tact that they arc rather enormous, and do push themselves in, somewhat troublesome. _But, .stranger, they never stick twice in the same place, and give them a fair chance for a few months, and you will get as much above theni as an aUigutor. _Th - can’t hurt my feelings, for they lay under -ie skin; a.

But musquetoes is NatUr, and 1 never find fault with her if they are large;' her trees are large, her rivers are large, and a small musquetoc would be of no more use in Ar kar.saw than preaching in a cane-brake,’.’ ruvtTf.n^.biifcl 'n'!sJ^!tWesusEc(;tnenposicr-u;j/-Bn«-:ie»j-iiK' giciun started on a new track, to explain how numerous bears were in his. digging, where. a iittje' pie’ntifuller.”'' Upon the a Iterance, of this assertion, a limit little man near me inquired if the bear in ArkansaW ever attacked the settler's in 'numbers. . onVS "No/’ said our hero, warming with his suliject7*‘no stranger, for you see ifain’t this -natuF-df biirto go-in droves,but : tne way they squander about in "parties and'single ones is edefying.

"The season for bar hunting, stranger,” said the man of Arkinsnw, “is generally all the year round, and the hunts take place about as regular. I read in history that varmints have their fat season and their lean season. That is not the case in Arkinsaw, feeding ns they do upon the spontnneovme'ss of the sile, they have continued fat season'the year round—though in winter, things in this way is rather more greasy than in summer* I must admit. For that reason bar with us run in warm weather, but in winter they only wad dle.

They were on a branch of the Missouri ] called' Jefferson’s Fork, and had set their traps at night, about six miles from a pmall river that emptied itself into the forks, — Farly in. the morning they ascended tke riv- j er in a canoe, to examine the traps. The banks on each side were high and perpen dicular, and cast a shade over the stream.— As they were softly paddling along, they heard the trampling of many feet upon the banks. Colter immediately gave the alarm of “Indians!” and was for instant retreat. Putts scuffed at him for being- frightened at the trampling of a herd of bulfalues. Colter j checked his uneasiness,and paddled forward. | They had nut gone much farther when fright ful whoops and yells burst forth from each side of the river, and several hundred In dians appeared on cither bank.

Medipal Gazette-givcs-tho.folluwing.-ii\ci dental notice of the epidemic wliicti first I gave rise to, the internal use of Mercury furl medical purposes: Upwards of a century ago,-the American Colonies were the Scene of one of the most] dreadful epidemics which ever desolated a country. It was generally denominated the putrid aore throat, and it commenced-its ca reer in M,ay, l"3s,'at Kingston, an inland town of New Hampshire. , From thence, it spread itself gradually to the neighboring towns and villages. In the'month of Sep tember of the same’year, it reached Boston. Its progress westward was slow but unin terrupted, Nearly two ycars elapsed before it reached the Hudson riven, from’whence it continued to spread to the south and west, until it had involved the whole of the colo nies in one common calamity. The numbers who fell victims.to the disease'were immense. Upon the population ofNcw England, more especially, it committed the most dreadful ravages. According to the account furnish ed by Dr. Douglass, a physician of Boston, it appears that one-fourth of the inhabitants of that place were seized with it, and of these, one in thirty-five died of it. In other ] places, he states thal'one-sixth, one-fourth, and tone-third, of the sick fell victims to it. By Dr. Kearsley, an eminent practitioner of Philadclpliia, an affecting account was left ofits devastations. “Dike most new diseas es,” says he‘, “till their constitution and na ture are .known, it swept ,all before it; it baffled every attempt to stop its progress, and seemed by its. dire effects to be more like the drawn sword of vengeance to stop the growth of the.colonies, than the natural [progress of disease. In the New "England ! governments, the stroke was felt with the :'gTeateßTSeverityr v ill“ges were-almost de populated, and parents Were. left tu r bewail I the loss of their tender ofispring, till Heav en, at last, the only unerring physician, was pleased to check its baneful influence,” Belknap, ib his history of New Hamp shire, Stales that in that province not less than one thousaiul .persons died of the dis pase^of—whom-nine-hundred—were-under- twenty yearsof age. It was-in attempting to arrest tlie ravages Of this dreadful epidemic, that mercury up pers to have been first introduced, into the treatment of inflammatory complaints.

In the course of our rambles on Monday, we saw hvthb Rothndo pf the Capitol, a bee bivo of navel, aiftTvvhat we consider useful, construction. As wo are caterers for the public good, we shall occasionally notice such improvements as we think will be beneficial to the pul>- lic. This hive is called the “Self-Protecting 800 Hive.” The useful qualities of this hivo consists in its ability to protect itself against worms, which often break up swarms by destroying 'tho bees, or driving them from tho hive, and hhvo often been tested by placing it between two hives pf tho old fasliion, which were filled with worms, and never hayo they been able to coirynit any ravages upon it, AIsC making tho honey in the very purest slate, ahd without destroying a single bee, or exposing a person removing it to tho least danger from the bees. It is not only an extreme ly disagreeable job to eutfocate the hoes, but certainly a great waste of property, as the bees are worth four limes as much ns the honey obtained. The inventor I sells stocks of bees and honey enough every year to a | mount to $4BO, and states this may be done by the J man.that owns one acre of land, well os by the man I that owns one hundred acres. In tho single County df Weatghester, in the State of New York, the inven tor sold hive and rightp enough to come to $J2Od, in : two months, and in only one half the - County. Ho j charged for a hive and the patent right of using m* i many ns tho purchaser pleased, $5,50. They can bo, 1 mail'e for about $1,50, thus showing a profit of $4,00 ! for a liivc and Star. PIRATES; Mr. H. Clay, in hie Unifies io-fiay, gave, as a reason why tlio Harrisburg Convention, which nominated General Harrison, issued no declaration of principles) that declarations of wax were not issued against PF RATES! that the way was to cut and to slash-kill ahd slay—-give ho quarter, and say nothing to them. This was the way, lie said,’ to treat PIRATES; and this was the reason why. no declaration of principles I was issued at Harrisburg. Thus/Mr. Clay assimi lates the. Democracy of 4 the’United'States to pirate?', virtually calls them pirates in-a speech in tho .Senate of the United States; and hot only calls thorn pirates , but is for treating them as such! No address to them —.no manifesto—no mercy! Treat d Demderat as a him and slash, him—kill and slay—rgivc no quarter and show no mercy! This is the way; to treat Democracy. A-pirat&is defined to bo hosiis humani generi —tho enemy of the human race—and this is what Mr. Clay calls Democracy.— Globe. A serious riot occurred at Cincinnati oh- the night orthe"l3th“of 'August,” IjT"cohßcqvmnce“of a quarrel that had taken place tlio evening previous, between several white citizens and some of th'o blacks, the for mer assembled in great numbers, and made an attack on the latter. Fire arms were used on both sides, and several persons (white and black) were killed and wounded. The disturbance was ot length quelled by •* the Mayor didod by several volunteer companies.— Several of the offenders are now in prison, arid others' arc bound over to await their trial; Great excitement pt , cvoihuifl the city; Making PnKPAHATioxB.--Thc Journal ofCommerca learns by a gentleman from Halifax, N; S., that under an appropriation of the last legislature extensive 'works aro commenced for placing the coast of that province in < a better state of defence.
