The colon; of We-hroide-Laha, (Siberia.) ha
been the scene of i aid occurrence. Three colon
hts. Sahanicff, Bialohnrski and DinytrcfF, in hunt
ing in the great forest ofLaha captured two little
liearr, which they took homo with them. Three
day hail passed, anJ these savage pot had beasn
to rcc gnize their masters, when, dorng the fol.
lowing night a terrific howling was heard in the
village. The Siberian coloniea, which are devoted
to exiles are always surrounded with a palisade.
The colonists, however, whose curiosity cot the
hotter of their alarm, left their huts j hut what
kiii their teiror at seeing the houses of Bialohnrski
anil DymtrefF surrounded by band of hears,
standing on their hind legs and howling with rage.
The colonist ran to arms ; one of them ii'nled
the alarm bell. The Coasacka of the garison
niounteil and formed in the, place iTitrmei. All
tho colonists, armed with muskets and axe, march
ed against the enemy. The ciimhnt began with
musket shots, the heart in return tore up ihe
hedge, and did not feor to attack the men. The 1
conle I was tmrihle, and was not finished until one
of the rnhins was set on fire. This conflagration
droe the enemy away. Eight hears remained on
the field ; five men lott their lives, and thirty were
wounded, tome of them severely.
Tnn Cardinal Sni)R. A large breed of
r-pidcra abound in the palace of Hampton Court.
They are colled there "cardinals," in homr, I
ftippose, of Cardinal Wolscy. They arc full
on inch in length, and many of them of the
tliicknosfl of a finger. Their legs are about
two inches long, and their body covered with a
thick hnir. They feed chiefly on moths, as ap
pears from the wings of that insect being found
in great abundance under and amongst their
wobs. In running across the carpet in an e
vening, when the light of a lamp or candle has
cast a (shade from their large bodies they have
been mistaken for mice, and hive occasioned
no little alarm to some of the more nervous in
habitants of the palace. A doubt has even been
raised whether the name of cardinal has not
been given to this creature from an ancient be
lief that a ghost of Wolsey haunts the place of
Ms former glory tinder this shape. At all e
vents, the ppider is considered as a curiosity,
and Hampton Court is the only place in which

Bi.ve Beard and iii9 Castle. The ruins of
tin: de la Verricre, on the banks of the Erdre, in
the department of the Loire Inferieure are, ac
cording to the tradition of the neighboring pea
santry, those ol the castle of the celebrated
Blue Beard, the hero of the well known nurse
ry tale. This formidable personage, who is
not altogether a creature of fancy, was Giles de
fletz, who lived in the reign of Charles VII,
was a vassalage of John V. Duke of Bretanage
lie was tried at Nantes, on suspicion of having
destroyed a number of children who had been
seen to enter the castle, and were never heard
ofafterwardff.
The bodies of several were afterwards found,
he having caused them to be put to death to
make use of their blood in writing charms and
forming incantations to raise infernal spirits, by
whose means he believed, according to the hor
rible acts of atrocity, and was sentenced to be
burnt alive ; but the Duke caused him to be
strangled before he was tied to the stake. This
execution took place December 2-", 1-11(1, and
a detailed account of it is still preserved iu
.VS. in the archies of Nantes.

To the rulilir.
Having been well acquainted with Mr. JOHN
McKINNEY. of Tnrhut township, for many year.
ml knowing him to be a correct business man and
a good old Farmer, p.wse scd of a sound discrimi
nating mind, I would recommend him to the fa
veral le consideration of the tax payeri and votert
of Noithiimhrrlacd rout ty, as a person well quali
fied to fill the office of Commimitner f,i said coun
ty. Should he be elected, I am confident he will
perform hi duty a guardian over the interests of
the county with fidelity. Thi is one of the
tnoat important office that the voter nf said coun
ty hve to elect. I assure you lhat Mr. McKlnney
will perform his duty with honor to himself, and
with afrty to the public, SHAMOK1N.

I.AttD On. Mamfactiuk The Pittsburg
Gazette of Wednesday says
This new brnncli of business bids fair to be
come one of vast importance to the west, and
it is thought by some, will soon be second only
to the manufacture of flour. Ijird Oil facto
ries arc springing up in most western towns,
and the oil of "prairie whales" rapidly fuper
sedinjr the production of the fatty monster of
the doep. Mr. M. C. Ehet, on 3d street, who
first commenced the business in this city, now
produces a beautiful oil, almost as clear as wa
ter, which burns with great brilliancy, and is de
void of noxious smell and smoke. Instead of
manufac'uring stoarinc for candles, Mr. F.het
only extracts a portion of oil from the lurd, and
converts the remainder into Refined Iard liir
family use. This article is of the consistency
of well made butter, beautifully w hite, and free
from all impurities. It must be a fine article tor
p-tftry in the summer senton. It is sold at the
price of common lard.
We see it predicted in come of the piper
that our annual crop of nciirly five hundred mil
lion bushels of corn, whichcan easily be increa
sed to one thousoud millions, will soon, in the
shape of oil, refined lard, bird but'er and stea
rine, be second only to cottcn in value, on the
tiet of American export.
