LATTIRmost FIORiCE GIiEVLY, ESQ.—A letter

be read at the Pic Nic today.

PrITIMAGH AQUEDUCT.—We arc requested by
Mr. Morris, - supervisor of the Canal, to state that since
the ment 'accident to the Aqueduct, it has been thor
cas9y, examined by several practical and scientific
gentlemen, all of whom have decided that it cannot be
mils secure unless it is rebuilt—and that it would be
.staelesaerlisenCliture of money to attempt to render it
safe bipnaking temporary repairs, In consequence
of this, Mr. Morris has shut the water off from the
Aqueduct. and the unloading and shipment of goods,
Btc., Will have to be done on the West side of the Alle- '
Om-river, until the Aqueduct is rebuilt or permanent
ly repaired.
P We are also requested to say that the bar at the ma
k/Lica on the Allegheny will be removed in a few days,
so as to permit boats at all times to pass that lock, from
84 hue the Allegheny river.
OP'
The editor of the Spirit of the Age won't back
out from the position he has taken on the temperance
quiSpOon. He says Jox BARKER threatened to mur
slieritint the first time he could catch him; so we may
coor.latie, that if they met yesterday, FOSTER is as dead
as iikeron this morning, But, perhaps, Barker has
goner to Camp Meeting, and thus Foster will be per
mitted to live a little while longer, and perhaps, when
theyttomeet, time will have softened down Joe's anger,
and he. will gut two or three men to hold him until our
brotherof the types goes past.
THE GRE.A.? MZNAGERIE will be in town to day,and
be epee for exhibition this evening, at Broadhurst's
istiOakon House, Penn street.
Mlle al:um:sphere has been so cool for some days
past,. that many weather-wise people are of opinion
that there has been a heavy rain not far off, and that we
soon have a rise in our Rivers. We hope so.
VERY PARTICULAR.—The American or Yeatcrdati•
made the following corrections of tine mistakes it
ALengintitted in giving an account of the fight at Law
tmarrille, on Saturday:
4 lta giving an account of the affray. near Lawrence
ville, in yesterday's paper, in which Ryan lost his life,
arcuated the name of the other man as Clow. We
have since learned that it is Slaigh or Slough. They
we bah Germans."
Wrong again: "the name of the other man" wits
neither Clow, Sleight nor Slough, but Sleigh, as
printed iu the other city papers. Another great blon
des'. of oureotemporary, is to say that they were both
Germane—the name of the unfortunate Ryan is suffi
cient to indicate the country of his fathers.
ANOTHER STEAMBOAT Su:vit.—We learn from the
Si. Louis Gazette , of the 14th inst, that the Steamer

of Columbus, Mississippi. We visited him after he
tons shrouded, in company with his master, from whom
we received the following remarkable details concern
log him: He was four years old in April last, and 4
feet i inch in height; he was born in Mississippi of
poosnts in no respect remarkable for any deviation from
the.ordinary size and temperament of their respective
sexes—nothing unusual in person or mind, distinguish
ed him, until he completed his first veer, when he began
developing in a manner that excited the astonishment
of ail who saw him. His hair grew with surprising
rapidity over his entire body and face, giving him
whiskers and beard, as luxuriant as an:adult. His bo-
dyzassumed the muscular developement of athletic
good, his strength enabling him at four years (Wage
tolift 200 lbs dead weight, with ease His mind was
clear and strikingly vigorous, and his character dis

enormous strength cf his proportions. A Grenadier
might have envied the fulness of his whiskers on cheek
and chin, and a Demagogue consented to be honest with

and feet were more taper and symmetrical than any
of his race we ever saw. He fell a victim to pleurisy,
and the eminent medical aid called in to his relief, were

SOCIAL KINDNESS.
How sweet are the effects of kindness? How balmy
the influence of that regard which dwells around our
firesides! Distrust and doubt darken not tho bright
ness of its purity; the cravings of interest and jealousy
mar not the harmony of that scene. Parental kindness
and filial affection blossom there, in all the freshness of
an eternal spring. It matters not if the world is cold, .
"ate am but turn to our dear circle, and ask and receive
all that our own hearts claim.

the great surprise and admiration 'of thousands.
New and splendid Scenery, done in oil painting by
one of the best artists in Philadelphia, decorates the
sides of 20 wagons, all containing animals of different
descriptions, affording one of the most rich and ani
mating displays ever brought forth, all the designs be

band will pour forth some of the most fashionable airs.
The celebrated JOHN SCIIAFFER, the subduer of
the savage denizens of the forest, will appear in a most
magnificent series of scenes entitled "The dreadful

to conclude with the most bold, grand and daring hu
man display presented among a whole caravan of wild
animals let loose at the same time: upon the Indian
