LOUIs) EMIGRANT , Praire Du Chien, ruarcn x, iqio. Dr. Sam'f Mitchell, Sir Believing 1 that the occurrences which happen in this country, will not be uninteresting to you, suner me to describe to you the emigration of the Buffalo and the recent appearance of a large animal supposed to bethe Marnmotb. Do not be . too much; surprised at the mention of a quadruped so famed foi its 4izey and which has long since been con sidered extinct. (Though the, present age is-only acquainted jKith the skeleton of the Mammoth, ttyere is strong ground for believing the present existence of this once I jformidable and ei&aniic animal. Various fan accounts nave lately reacnea us oi and not far from the head oi Redwood y,. .... , .1 .. i , is. c. l River, which empties into River St. Pe conceived it to be the Matciii Manitouor evil spirit. ' Besides the attention which the appearance of this animal has excited the minds of the people here have been awakened at the sight of numerous ani- jmalsj that are collecied at, and surround tliis place. What, has given rise to this hreat commotion! of the animal kingdom in this 'quarter 'of! our countiy, will aprjfear dimcult toexplain:--From some cause or other the animals have been much 1 dis turbed; and being eitlier impelled by fright, or the want -of subsistence, have wandered from their accustoraed abodes, and sought a shelter in this neijiliborhobd. I The deer, the panthers and the bears, are I now seen around u:, in greater plenty than has ever . vet been Juiown. The I buftalo, which has been long since driven I offthe Indian hunting grounds, & sought security from 'the sava-e hunter, by re- treating west, has lately crossed' the Mississippi nigh this place, in considera- ble herds ; and are travelling towards the Lake frontier. ? VTo account satisfactorily for this extra ordinary emigration of animals, and the recent appearsiiice' of this supposed mam moth (which me4ndian traders tay came from the unexploredj-egions of the north west) will be deemed difficult. ! But I think one probable conjecture is, that earthquakes have been the principal cause. ' .We have felt several light shocks Jiere, and have, received accounts of dread- lul earthquakes to the west. . FROM THE N.

We immedi ately proceeded in search of the object, and on arriving at the mouth of the cave, encountered a serpent of a most prodig ious, appearance,' "probably 15 ' feet in length, and proportionable in tmcKness, with four short legs, somewhat resembling the alligator. His head was dispropor- tionably large, With -glossy eyes situated towards the back of the head. The back was of a shining black, covered with strong & apparently impenetrable scales.

(says a Cincinnati paper; of April l5th,J -tliese miserable looking men, wotnen, and chil dren passed through the skirts of this place, and encamped in the woods about a mile Iro n town. The mayor & coun cil, having authentic information of their affliction by the small pox, and of their excessive filthiness, very wisely, by a committee, requested them to pass by at as great a distance from town as -convenience would permit. ? j During the whole- of Sunday curiosity led columns of citizens and people from the surrounding country to see them. 'The road from Cincinnati in the direction of these wayfaring Til crims, was almost lit erally choaked with passengers, eai with anxious eve. oressin2 forward for-a peep at the seat of filth: Few, however, returned with bowels of compassion for them. The society consists of about 45 persons, including children, of which there is a great number Their theolog ical reasonfor thus wandering about the I country without a home, -ana wnnoui scarcely any of the necessaries of lite, was readily and willingly given " it. is imitating the practice of the ; ancient pa triarchs and good men-cf old," they say But the basis of ; their dirty religion they seemed unwilling. to disclose. Perhaps they have been subdued and are treach erously governed by a strong natural in clination to hate ev try thing bordering upon industry. :, It may not be. Wc sus jpect it. ' '-' ; :;, 4 ; BORROWED TROUBLE. " Tlie business of life is to go forward: (says Dr. Johnson) He who sees evil in prospect, meets it in his way ; but lie who catches it by retrospection, - turns back to find it. That wliich is feared, ma sometimes be avoided; but that which is regretted to-day, may be regretted to morrow. We should, to be useful, decid edly condemn the indulgence of brooding over cir-qmstances and events, that thougf lot mend ; because it un- string id ; and that oh'ee done, it w surAvrth wnat rapidity ail its peace unravels itself .'and how much it ! loses ot tne pop?r oijuagingrigntiy on ine i niid condition of human anairs." ; . , THE POWER OF MUSIC. . M. Bonnet, in his History of Music, gives an extraorjlinary; story.; An officer being "shut up in the Bastile, had permission to take his lute with him, on which he was an excellent performer ; but he had scarcely made use of it three or four days, when the mice, issuing from their holes, and the spi ders, suspending themselves from the ceil ing by their threads, assembled round him' to eivov the melody. His aversion to these creatures, at first, fndtie their visit dis agreeable, and induced him to lay aside his . lute, but he soon became so used to them that at last they also became a source of a musement to him in his! confinement. 1 i - . TJMES LONG PAST. . . The clothes of the Roman Emperor, Augustus Caesar, were seldom other than such as the impress Livia,or liisWster Oc tavia, had spun for him. v " . Cato rode upon a single horse, without attendance, and his baggage behind him. Aristides, Valerius Publicola, and sev eral other great names, . who had the man agement of the public treasures of republic can Greece, and llome' did not leave e nough tobiiry them when they, died. But these are heathen examples not to be -adduced for imitation now-a-days. ; BERNADOTTE. During the siege of Kuddalore in 1783, the French commander, M. De Bassy; having received a reinforcement of troops from the fleet of M. De Suffren, determin ed to make a sortie, which was unsuccess ful. In the number of the wounded pris oners, wliich he left in the power of the English, there was a young French ser geant, who by his interestingmannerof ex-, pressing himself, and by his conduct, drew so strongly the' attention of Colonel Wan- genheim, wno commanaea tne nanoven- .ajiuoops in the service of England, that :. .1 - latter caused him to! be brought to his tWedi with rauch his exchange. n Gen.
