Hwang IN A Bov.—A TAW days ago
an incident occurred at Biloxi, in which a
boy named Joseph Garaneau, between ten
and eleven years of age, evinced extraordi
nary intrepidity and presence of mind.—
nTwo little fellows, about ten years old, one
of them the son of Capt. Sam'l. Griffin, of
,the steamboat California, were fishing on
t4te edge of the wharf, when, overreaching
themselves, they fell into the water, which
was of considerable depth. They were
unable to swim, and. of . course, in immi.
,neut danger of being drowned, when Gar
' abegis who stood near, threw a .plank to
, ward Them,. stripped, and pluuged, off the
Wharf to their assistance. With admira
ble presence of, mind, he avOided getting
in front of them, thereby preventing. tith
'er from locking him in an embrace wbich
Would have proved fatal to all three; but
graliping behind' the shoulder the first he
came to with one hatid, and swimming
with the other, he pushed him toward the

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.
An incident of the Cholera occurred in
this city a few days since, which, for sev
eral reasons, we think worth recording...-.
Among the house-holds which had been
entered and stricken by the fatal disease,
was that of Mr. Hangley, a worthy Irish
man who has long been employed by the
Commissioner of Streets. His wife, a
warm-hearted, motherly woman, devotedly
attached to her children and self-sacrificing
to promote their welfare and happiness,
was taken with the Cholera and died and
was buried on Thursday, Sept. 20th.—
Next a lovely little daughter, seven years
of age, was taken sick, and she too died,
and her body laid out and her limbs adjust
ed in the embrace df the King of Terrors.
The father applied to Alderman Wingate
for a coffin, but for some cause it could
not be had immediately, and its delivery was
postponed for an hour or two ; during this
time Mr. Hangley returned home, when
the supposed dead child stretched forth
her arms, with the exclamation, ""Oh,
Father! I have been to Heaven, and it is
a beautiful place !"
After the surprise and excitement of the
girl had subsided, she gave a relation of
what she had seen, as she expressed it,
"in Heaven."
She saw her mother in Heaven, and she
was taking care of little children, many of
whom she called by name, and among
them she said were four children of Uncle
[Langley, and three children of Uncle Ca
; sey's. "Aunt Lynch is not there now,
hut she will be to-morrow; arid on Sun
day I shall go back again."
"But," said an older sister, "it cannot
be so, dearest, for there are but two of
Uncle Casey's children dead !"
"Yes, I saw three of them in Heaven,
nod mother wan taking cure of them. All'
were dressed in white, and all were very
happy, and the children playing. Oh! it,
was beautiful there; and I shall go there
again next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Mr. Hangley immediately informed
Mr. Wingate that his daughter was not
dead, when he, in company with Dr. Mor
rison, visited the house, and the little girl
related substantially the same story. It
seems, too, that shortly aftor this rotation
of the little girl of what she had seen and
heard in Heaven, a message came from Mr.
Casey in Carmel, giving information of
the death of another child, and inviting
them to attend the funer.,l.
Of the four children o f her Uncle Hang
ley, two died in this city, and two were
drowned on their passage from Ireland.
We Called on Saturday to see and talk
with this little girl, but she was very fee
ble, and just then in a drowse, and we
would not allow her to be disturbed.—
She is said to have a very thoughtful and
serious countenance, and to be a very in
teresting child. She bad no wish to live
but preferred returning to her mother.—
The father and sister are seriously, but
very happily impressed with the relations
of this sweet child, and joyfully believe the
story she tells. Their house is a patern
of neatness, and they all possess hearts ov
erflowing with affection, and are sincere
ly happy on account of their heavenly
messenger.
"1 was sorry," said Mr. H. to Dr.
Morrison, in the honest, truthful simplici
ty of his heart, "when my good wife died,
but I'm not now, but only wish to be with
her." The elder sisters, too, live in joy
ful hope of meeting at length, and they
care not how soon, it it be God's time,
their dear mother in Heaven, where she
has been seen by their angel sister, who
has been permitted to return to earth and
make the fact known to them.
Since the above was published there had
been a great many inquiries respecting
this little girl, some of which we will now
1121
Although at the time of the seeming
death of this child it was supposed that
her Aunt Lynch wai dangerously ill, she
had not the cholera but, was attacked with
dysentery. 'But; she died the pent day as
stated.
On Sunday afternoon, Mr. Daniel War
ren, a very worthy religious man, who
has been much among the ekolerwpatients,
and feeling perhaps, a little moved by cu
riosity, called to see the little girl, and ad
dressed her cheerfully and told her that
she appeared better and would soon be
well, and get out in a day or two.
"BLit I am going to mother , again at 4
o'clock," she quietly and softly said.
"When to-morrow I"
- "No, to-day."
Mr. Warren. endeavored to turn her at
tention to hopetul prospects of recovery ;
but the little sitfferer was fast Malang &-
yak—the '' . ileath, rattle heard , ' and she
soon sensed to breathe, her'pulse stopped,
and thelitednessi ef •death Wail impressed

half an hour had passed, new signs of life
appeared, and again the spirit of the sweet
girl returned. She asked for water and
said she was tired, and sunk away into a
quiet sleep.
Since then she has been gradually recov
ering, but her eldest sister, who watched
her so tenderly, and who would so wil•
lingly have accompanied her blessed
mother to Heaven, was the next taken
with the cholera, and the following day
died and was buried.
The father of this girl is ignorant, yet a
fine specimen of a pure, warm heart, with
all the unsophisticated simplicity and truth
fulness of nature. He is poor. He had
a large family ; and he says that for the
whole season he had but 2 lbs. of butter in
his house, and they only had meat but
twice. They had lived almost wholly up
on bread and tea.
"There were many of them," he said,
"and his own hands must earn their living,
and by prudence a barrel of flour would
last them four weeks, and he must do ,
what he could for himself, and the child
ren, and they were all quite happy.
The little boys had by their labor pick
ed up the boards out of which his dwelling
had been constructed, and he hoped, after
a time, to have it all of their own."
Perhaps a more united, loving and con
tented family, where all were willing to
do and suffer for each other, cannot be
found.
Such are the simile facts in the case,
which we leave, for , he present, without
comment or attempted explanation.—Ban.

A Alsactivt. VICTOR.-A letter appears
in the London TiMes from an officer enga
ged in the battle of Goojeret, who speaks
of his exploiti after the Sikhs were defeat
ed, in the following humane manner :
"The enemy were in the sands trying
to escape, and our men knocking them over
like dogs. Every wounded Sikh was
either shot or bayoneted. I rushed up
with a few of the grenadiers, and foiind
four men reloading their pieces ; three
were bayoneted, and I was hacking away
at the head of the fourth, when Compton,
of the grenadiers, shot him. The last
shot was fired at an unfortunate Comer,
who was seated quietly reading their
grunth I We waited at this plaoe Curia
bout two hours, and I can assure you they
were about the jolliest two hours I ever
passed. I never enjoyed a bottle of beer
so much in all my life !"
What a comment upon war Such
savage brutaility is, however, unusual, even
among our own Indians.
ORIGIN OP Foos.—The very common,
but mistaken idea, that the fog which we
see of an evening hanging over low mead
ows, and by the sides of streams, is caused
by the dampness of these regions, arises
naturally from our first observing it in low
places, as the cool of the evening advances,
remarking that it ascends to higher land ;
the fact is, however, not that the damp is
ascending, but that from the coldness of
those situations they are the first places
which condense the before invisible vapor,
and as the cold of the evening advances,
the condensation takes place at a higher
level. A large portion of the vapor as
cends to the upper region of the atmos.
phere, where it cools and becomes visible
to us in the form of clouds ; and increasing
in density by cooling. they gradually de
scend nearer the earth, until at last, becom
ing too condensed by the loss of heat, they
fall in rain, to be again returned in endless
succession.—Scientific Phenomena.
We can never be where God is not,:and

The natives, or first inhabitants of this
country, in their origiS, are sup_p osed by
most people to have been of the Ten Scat
tered Tribes, for they resemble the dews
very much in the inak i ttof their persons,
and the tincture of thifir complexions.—
They observe new mdirs, they offer their
first fruits to a Mattetti, or supposed deity,
whereof they have twit, one, as they fan
cy, above, (good) smother below, (bad)
and have a kind of Feist of Tabernacles,
laying their altars tipoi twelve atones; ob
serve a sort of thotinting twelve months,

to be touched (here) tither than dwelt up
on, because they !halite handled more at
large at the latter end of this treatise.
They are very charitable to one another,
the lame and the blind(amongst them) liv
ing as well Is the best,! they are also very
kind and obliging to the Christians.
The next that cadre there were the
Dutch (who called the Country New Neth
erl.ads) between fifty and sixty years a
go, and were the firl plantes in those
parts ; but they madettle or no improve
ments, (applying theitlsolves wholly to traf
fic in skins and furs, Which the Indians or
natives furnish them with, and which they
barter for rum, stro liquors an d sugar.
with others, thereby aining profits ' ) till
near the time of the trs between England
and them, about thirtror forty years ago.
Soon after them came the Sweeds and
Fins, who applied thimselves to Husban
dry, and were the fitst Christian people
that made any consilerable improvement
there.
There were some disputes between these
two nations for some years, the Dutch
looking upon the Sweeds as intruders up
on their purchase and possession, which
was absolutely tertninatecl in the surrend
er made by John 'Hieing, the Sweeds
Governour, to Peter Styreant, Governour
for the Dutch, in 1655. In the Holland
War, about the year 1655, Sir Robert Carr
took filo country latiOut the Dutch for the
English, and left his cousin, Captain Carr,
Governour of that place ; but in a short
time after, the Dutch retook the country
from the English, and kept it in their pos
session till the peace was concluded be
tween the English and them, when the
Dutch surrendered that country, with East
and West Jersey, and N. York, (with the
whole countries belonging to that Govern
ment) to the English again. But it re
mained with very little improvement till
the year 1681, in which William Penn,
Esq., had the country given him by King
Charles the Second, in lieu of money that
was due to (and signal service done by)
his father Sir William Penn, and from him
bore the name of Pennsylvania.
Since that time, the industrious, (nay,
indefatigable) inhabitants have built a no
ble and beautiful city, and called it Phila
delphia, which contains ribose two thou
sand houses, all inhabited, and most of them
stately and of brick, generally three sto
ries high, after the mode in London, and
as many several families in each. There
are very many lanes and alleys, as first,
Hutton's Lane, Morris Lane.Jones's Lane,
wherein are very good buildings ; Short
er's Alley, Yower's Lane, Walter's Alley,
Turner's Lane, Sikes' Alley, and Flow
er's Alley. All these alleys and lanes
extend from the Front street to the Second
street. There is another alley in the Se
cond street, called Carter's Alley. There
are also, besides these alleys and lanes,
several fine Squares and Courts within
this magnificent city, (for so I may justly
call it.) As for the particular names of
the several streets contained therein, the
principal are as follows, viz ; Walnut
street, Vine street, Mulbery street, Ches
nut street, Sassafras street, taking their
names from the abundance of those trees
that formerly grew there ; High street,
Broad street, Delaware street, Front street,
with several of less times, too tedious to
insert here.
It has in , it three fairs every years, and
two markets every week. ' They kill a
bove twenty fat bullocks every week, in
the hottest time of summer, for their pre
sent spending in that city, besides many
sheep, calves, and hop. •
This city is situated between Schoolk ill
River and the great River Delaware; which
derivea its name from Captain Delaware,
who came, there pretty early ; ships of
two, oi three hundred tons may conic up
to this city, by
. either of these two rivers.
Moreover, in this Province tie four great
market towns, l viz.: Cheater, the German
Town, New 'Castle, and Lewitt; Town,
which are mightily enlitrgett in this latter
improvement. Between these towns the
waterman constantly ply„their wherries ;
likewise all these towns have fairs Itept in

the out-of-door life of California. The
first glimpse of indoor life, however, is
furnished by a good housewife from Win
throp, Me., whose letter to her children is
published in the Portland Advertiser of
Saturday, and is a capital account of
house-keeping in El Dorado. The fbi.
lowing is her description of her domestic
arrangements
"We have now been keeping house

which we board for the rent. We have
one hundred and eighty-nine dollars per

She says they have bought no funiture ;
and from her account they get along very
comfortably without such superfluities ;
for she adds :--"The gentleman of whom
we hire the house had been at housekeep

TURKISH METHOD OF TREATING HOW'
sits.—The late Commodore Porter, when
envoy of the United States at Constantino
ple, had a horse cured. of founder ih the
following manner;
•The Turk said that the horse must be
bled nn the inside of his diseased lego—
lle put a nipper on his nose to keep him
steady, then took up the left leg, and ctos
sing it over the right, gave it to an attend
ant ; he then struck his lancet into the
vein, a little above the fetlock-joint, and
took from it about three and ti half pounds
of blood ; the vein bled very freely. He
now said he had taken .enough; he then
went to the very opposite , aide of the leg,
and a triking hie lancet into a vein :there the
knee joint, a single drop 6f blood exuded,
and both that and the first opened vein in
stantly ceased bleeding. There may be
no novelty in this, but it certainly aston
ished me to find 'that opening two veins in
the same limb, stopped both from bleeding;
such, however, is the fact, for I witnessed
it. He desired that the horse should rest
the next day, , that he should then be rode
with great Violence until he was in a pro
fuse perspiration, the diseased limb then to
be rubbed with wet salt, (to which I ad
ded a pint of brandy) then rubbed dry,
and then walked about until cool, and cov
ered with blankete ; the same process to
be repeated next day, which was done, and
nil lameness from that time disappeared ;
the horse, the third day, was perfectly
well."
Tire human; ROBBER.—A gentle
man. passing late at night over the Pont
Neuf in Paris, was accosted by a polite
and seemingly suppliant stranger, who ask
ed him to read a paper which he had just
picked up. . The gentleman held up his
lantern and complied. The following is
a translation of the lines :
Speak not a word when this you've'read.
Or in an instant you'll be dead ;
Oive up your'money, welsh and rings
Or other valuable things •
Deport then. quickly as , yop will,
Only remember silence still.
The gentleman thought it beat to deliv
er up hit ,valuables as required.
The robber was afterwards recognized ,
by the person rubbed, and arrested. His
identity was pbeitively sworn to; and the
following, cettfersinn...!fn Warle_by the
criminal: ""My.. Lords : I confess that on

Shot.—At the Michigan State penitentiary.
last week, a negro named Anderson. con.
fined for murder, after getting off his ball
and chain with a cold chisel with which
be worked in the yard, ascended a ladder
at a new building to the roof, from whence
he made a desperate leap twenty-two feet
down ou to the roof of the guard house ;
the guard was in the guard house at the
time. The negro next bounded on the
wall, and in an instant swung himself off
outside from a height of 16 or 18 feet.—
The guard fired, the ball taking effeot in
the• negro's right arm. He kept on his
course, however; and the sentinel on the
corner of the wall "hit him again," the
ball going clear through his body. This
brought him.down, but he immediately re
covered, and swam the river. He was
overtaken, however, and notwithstanding
his'wounds, showed fight in the most des
perate manner. He finally surrendered to ,
