Ire seemed to be twelve rears of are-when he saw him was very dark, aod ate flesh, whether cooked or uncooked. He had ahort hair all over his bodv when he first came, but having, Tor a time, as the Itajan states, eaten salt with his food, like other human beines,the naif by decrees disap peared.. He could, walk, like other men, on his lees, but could never be taught to speak. He would otter sounds like , wild animals, and could be made to understand signs very well. ', He used to sit at a bun neea's shop in the bazaar, but was at last recognized by his parents, and taken off. What became or rum atterwards he knowa not. The Kajah s statement regarding tbta lad is confirmed by all the people of the town, bat none of them know what after wards became of him. About tba year 1843, a shepherd of tha village of Gbutkoree, twelve . miles west from the cantonments of Sultanpoor, saw a boy trotting along upon all four, by the side of a wolf, one morning, as he was out with his flock. With great dflicutty he caught the boy,' who ran very fast, end brought him home. He fed him fop some time, and tried to make him speak, and associate with men and boys, but be failed;- He" continued: to be alarmed at the sight of men, but was bwtught to Colo- nel uray, wbo commanded the brat uude Local Infantry, at Sultanpoor. He and Mrs. Gray, and all the officers In canton ment,, saw him often, and kept him forsevt eral days. But he soon after ran off into. toe jungle, Willie 1110 aucuueru vaa aaicep. The shepherd afterwards went to reside in another village, andloould not ascertain whether he recovered tha boy or not ? ' " Zoolfukar Khan, a respectable landhold er of Uankcpoor, in the estate of Hasun poor, ten milet east from the Sultanpoor cantonments, mentions .that about eight or nine years- ago tv trooper came to the town with a lad of about rune or ten years . of age, whom he had rescued from wolves among the ravlnas on the road, that-he knew not what to do with him. and left him to the common char- ilv of the villat-e : that he ate every thing ,.it'.Mrl I. i,'irt tnoliitinir rirant hut lfnra - taking it- ta carefully meU at it, and al,j m. w ji prefcrrti!

About seven year ago, a trooper belong ing to tha king, and in attendance on Ra jah Hurdut Sing of Uondoe, alias Damno- tee on the left bank of the Obagra nvsr, in the Baliraetch district, was pasting ocar It . 1 t M .7 .1. . a smau stream wiucn news into mat nvcr, when he saw two wolf-cubs aud a boy, who appeared to be about tea years of ags. He took him upon the pummel of his sad dle, ; but he was so Serce, that he tore the trooper a clothes, and bit him severely in several places, though he had tied his hands together. He brought hirato Bondne, where the Rajah had him tied up ia hi artillery gun-shed, and gayo him raw flesh te eat, but he several timet cut hit ropes and ran off; and after three months the flajab got tired of him, and let him go. He was lien taken by k Cashmeerea niimic.'or comme diau,.(fr0tifp) who fad and took care of him fot six months; but At tike end of that time h also got tired of him, .(for tit tab its were filthy.) and let him go to wander about the Bondea bazaar. Ha one day ran off with a joint of meat from a butcher's shop, and soon after upset come thing, in the fhop of a bmnneeak, who let By an arrow at him. The arrow penetrated the boy's thigh. At this time Sanaollah, a Cash mere merchant of Lucknow, was at Bon dee, selling some shawl goods to the Rajah, on the occasion of his brother's marriage. He had many servants with him, and amon? them. Janoo, a khidmutchar lad, and an old sipahee, named Ramxan Khan. Janoo took oompassioo upon the poor boy, extracted the arrow from his thigh,, had his wound dressed, and prepared t bed for him tinder. the mancotrre. where he hinselr lodged, but kept birn tied1 to a teut-pin. lis v. mi I at that time eat nothing but raw flesh. To wean him from this, Janoo, with the consent of his master, gave him rice ntid pulse to ea t. Ha rejected them for severae days, and ate nothing ; but Janoo perse vered, and by degrees made him eat the bells which be had prepared for him; ho was fourteen or fifteen days in bringing Urn to- do this. The order from hie body was very offensive, and Janoo had him rubbed with Mustard-seed soaked in water, after the oil bad been taken front it, (khallee,) in the hope of removing this smell. He con tinued this for some months, and fed him. Xo rice, pulse, and Hour bread, but tne rdid not leave him. He bad hardened marks upon his knees and elbows, from having gone on all-fours. In about six weeks alter he had been tied up under the tree, with a good deal of beating and rubbing of his joints with oii, He waa made to stand and walk upon his legs like other human be ings, lie was never beard to utter more than one articulate sound, and that was Aboodeea" the nkme of the little daughter of the Cashmere mimic,' who had treated him with kindness, and for whom he had shown some kind of attachment." la 1 about four months he began to understand and obey signs, tie was by them made to pre. pare the hookah, put lighted charcoal upon the tobacco, and bring it to Janoo, or pre sent it to whomsoever he pointed out. !. Uno night, while the boy was lying under the tree, near Janoo, Janoo saw two wolves come up stealthily, and smell at the boy, They then touched him, and he got up, and, instead of being frightened, the boy put his hands upon their heads, and they began to play with him,' They capered around him. and be threw straw and leaves at them. anoo tried to drive them off, but he could not, and became much alarmed; and he called out to the sentry over the guns, Meer Akbur Allee, and told him that the wolves were going to eat the boy'. He replied, Come away and leave him, or they will eat you also;" but when he suw them be gin to play together, -his fears subsided, and tie kept quiet, uaining eonnuence uy De grees, he drove them away r but, after go- ing a little dislsnee. they returned, aad began to play again with the boy; At last he succeeded in driving thera off altogether. he the boy and they played together A few ufgus alter, 11 1 IXW' VI wit ewe vaiur, aim ghta alter, four wolves eame. but at bo time did more than four wolves come. They came four or five times, and Janoo had no longer any leap or them v and he tmnks that the first two that eame must have been the two cubs with which the boy was fint found, and that they were prevented from seizing him by recognizing the smell,. They licked his face with their tongues aa be put his hands on their head. . .' , Soon atfter, bis master, Sanaollah, return ed to Lucknow, and threatened Janoo to turn him out of his service unless he let go the boy." Ha persisted in taking the boy with him, and his master rolented.

About two .iths after tha Ioy had pone, a woman, " lie weaver caste, came with a letter from relation of tlie ilajah, Ilordut Bing, to naol'ab, stating that alio resided in the , ! 3R9 of Chareyrakotra. on hit estate, and ! id, bad bef .aon, then about four yean of. . .-i t- I i . t.

Sanaollah, Janoo, and Rarrzan Khan, are still at Lucknow, and before me hare all three declared all the circumstances hern stated to be strictly trae. The boy was altogether aout live months with ban aollah aod his servants, from the time they got him; and he had been taken about four morrths and a half before. The wolf must hare tad tovern! litters of whelps during the six or seven years that the boy was with her. 1 Janoo further adds, that be after month er two ventured to try a waist-band npoa the boy, out he olten tore It ou in die tress or anger. After be had become fco onoilcd to this, in about two months, he ventured to nut en Uim a vct and a pair of irowsers. lie had great diiltculty in mak ing him keep them on, with threats and oc casional beatings.

This habit he Could never break him of. ;'- ':'" ' ) Rsjah' Hurdut Sewae, who is now in Lucknotv.00 business, tells me (2Sth Jan itarv, 1331) that the sowar brought the boy to rjondre, and there kept him for a short time, as long as he remained ; but as soon as he went off, the boy eame to him, and he kept him for three months: that he ap peared to himtobe twelve years of age; that he ate raw meat as im aa he remained Lwilh him, with evident pleasure whenever it was ottered to him, but would not touch the bread and other dressed food put before him; that be went on all-Jours, hut would stand and go awkwardly on two legs when threatened or made to do so that he teemed to understand signs, but could not under. stand or utter a word; (hat ha seldom at tempted f u bite any one, nor did he tear die clothes that lie put upon him; that Sana ollah, the Cashmeerea merchant. Used at that time to come to him often with shawls for sale, and, must have taken the boy away with him, but he does not recollect having given the boy to him lie says that be never himself tent any letter to Sanaollah with the mother of the boy, but his brother or some other relation of his may have written one to hen It is remarkable, that I can discover no well-established instance of a man who had been nurtured in a .wolfs den having been found. ; There is, at Lucknow, an old man who was found in the Oude Tarae, when a lad, by the hut of an old hermit who had died. " lie is supposed to have been taken from the wolves by thiaTold hermit. ".The trooper who found him brought him to tha king1 some forty years ago, and he has been ever since supported by the king coti.Tbrta-': bly. Ha issliil called the "wild man of tha woods." He was one day sent to mo at my request, and 1 talked with him. His features indicate him, to be of the Tha rootarbe, who are found only in the fitt est. He is very offensive, but speaks little aad that little imperfectly; and he is still impatient of intercourse with his fellow-men particularly with such a are disposed to tease him with questions. I asked him whether he bad ar.y recollection of having been with wolves. He said, "The wolf died long before the hermit ;" but-he seem ed to recollect nothing more, and there ia no mark en his knees or elbows to indicate that he ever went on all-fours. That ha was found as a wild boy in the forest, there can be no doubt t but I do not feel at all sore that he ever li ved with wol veaFrom what I hare seen and heard, I should doUbt whether any boy whe had been many years with, wolves, up to the age of eight or tan, could ever attain the -average intellect of. man. 1 nave never beard 01 a man wno had been spared and nurtured by wolves having been found ; and, as many boys have een recovered from wolves after they had en many years with them, we must con clude, that after a time they either die from living exclusively on animal food, before they attain the age bf manhood, or are de stroyed by the wolves themselves, or other beasts 61 prey, In the jungles, from whom they are unable to escape, like the wolves themselves, from want of the same speed. The wolf of wolves, by whom they have been spared and nurtured, must die or be destroyed in a few years, and other wolves may kill and eat , them. Tigers generally feed for two or three days upon the bullook they kill, and remain all the time, when not feeding, concealed in the vicinity.- If they found tuch a boy fceding npoa their prey. they would certainly kill him, and most likely eat him. If such A boy passed such a dead body, be would certainly feed upon 1U Tigers oAen spring upon and kill dogs and wolves thus found feeding upon their prey. , They could more easily kill boys, una would certainly be more disposed to eat them.

By the time he was ten years old (and very old, indeed, he was at that time of lift,) he had made one hun dred and sixty-five bargains, barters, and dickers in shoe-strings, peg-tops and jack knives, and had am as.se d the sum of five dollars and fifty-three cents. At the age of eleven he entered the storo of Grab & fCetchum, in his native town, aod continued therein as a clerk until ha had reached the age of fifteen years, and accumulated the sum of two hundred aod live dollars and thirty-tow cents. Investing this amount in potatoes and dried pumkins, he set sail in a Stomngton sloop for New York, and with his entire possesasons landed at 1' ulton Mar ket in the year18 17.- Since that time he has passed through the several professions ol vegetable purveyor, nh vender, general merchant,, bank president and solid mnn, is now considered a magnate and mi.lion- aire. He was never indicted for stealing. nor accused of infidelity. He was never troubled with an ultra idea, never had an unselfish aspiration, never went out of his way to do a charitable act, never bothered njmaelf with romance, sentiment or art, never spoke two consecutive sentences in a grammatical manner, never looked at the stars over his head nor the flowers under his feet.
