that tlie Aletnodist chapel in that

was recently dedicated to Almighty

and assisted in the services, Th

"The week that has just passed,

vvcre yesterday informed on the
authority of Col. Haskell, the fa
mous pedestrian, of ihe following
occurrence, we cannot vouch for its
being substantially correct in all its
def ails.
A gentleman, (whose name wc
were nol ab0 to earn)) om, 0f lMe
Engineers of the Crolon Works,
who resides in the levee, foot ol
Bleecker street, has been in the
habit throughout the summer of
sleeping in an apartment tin lh
ground floor with the windows open
ihr-.ugh the night. The gentleman
was repeatedly annoyed by certain
nocturnal visitors, who without leave
visited his rear premises and occa
sionally a human head would pop
into the window. Thinking that
bete riighi prowlers purposed no
g od, and as he could never by anv
chance detect them in any acts of
villany, Mr determined on
i plan which should effectually de
cide ihe question.
Accordingly he fixed a couple of
bowie knives into a board, in which
he attached a small spring, and set
ting it in such a position as lo strike
a certain blow tot any mender who
should attempt to enter the apart
ment via the window.
M then safely locked tlie
room, and left word at home that
he should be absent for n lew days.
The plan succeeded to admiration.
Yesterday morning a man was found
bleeding and insensible, lying ai
some distance from the machine, a
o-cep and dangerous cut in his side.:
On examination the bleeding sulf r
er was found to be a notorious (hit f,
who had long infested the neigh
bourhood. He was taken to his
friends, where he now remains in
rather a critical situation, a warning
lo all house-breakers.

The Coitgnve Rochet. The
very flight of the Congrevc rocket
is startling; it springs from the
ground in a volume of flame, and
then rushes along with a continued
roar, with its large head blazing,
and sinking point blank and with
tremendous force, at the distance ol
a mile or more. In a siegi it is al
ready extiemely formidable. Ii
bursts through roofs; it fixes itself
wherever it can bare its way, and it
inflames everything that is coinbus
tilde. Stonewalls only can repel
it, and thtit not always. This wca
poll may be regarded as almost ex
chinively English in its use as well
as its origin. It will be like the
English bow in the fifteenth century.
In the next war what an extraordi
nary change will take place in all the
t'Stablihi-d instruments of pulling
men out of the world! We shall
be attacked at once from above,
around and below. We shall have
ihe balloon showering fire upon us
from miles above our heads; the
steam-gun levelling us from walls
and ramparts, before we can come
within distance to dig a trench; the
Cougreves setting our tents, ammu
uition waggons, and ourselves in a
blaze in our first sleep; and the
steamboat running and doing mis
chief every where. But of all those
mischief makers I should give the
palm to the rocket. No infantry on
earth could stand for five minutes
within five hundred yards of a well
served rocket battery. Half a do
zen volleys of half a dozen of ihese
fiery arrows would break the strong
est battallions into fragments; lay

this tremendous weapon has not
even yet arrived at its full capacity

m"LoC$ IVife."-Mr. Colman, in
his agricultural address last week,
illustrated the folly of modem fash'
iouable female education bv an an
ecdote. A young man who had for
a long while remained in that use
less state designated by "a half pair
of scissors," at last seriously deter
mined he would procure him a wife.
He got the "refusal" of one who
was beautiful and fashionably ac
eompbshed, and took her upon trial
to his home. Soon learning thai
lie knew nothing, either how to
darn a stocking, or boil a potato or
roast a bit of beef, he relumed her
to her father's house, as having been
weighed in the balance and found
warning. A suit was commenced
by the good lady, but the husband
"Hedged that she was not "up to the
sample," and of course the obliga
tion to retain the commodity was
not binding. The jury inflicted a
fine of a few dollars, but he would
nave given a fortune rather than not
to be liberated from such an irksome
engagement. "As well might the
father have the original Venus de
Medicis placed in his kitchen," said
ihe orator, "as some of the modern
fashionable women." Indeed, con
tinued he, "it would be much better
to have Lot's, wife standing there,
for she might answer one useful pur
pose; she might salt his baconl"

Cin ions Typographical Error.
The celebrated printer, Henri E l
enne, son of Robert, (both known
in tin- learned world by the name of
fctephanus,) was once engaged in
the printing of a splendid quarto
.Missal. The great number ol sub
scribers seemed likely to make am
pie compensation for the heavy ex
pense required by the undertaking.
After the sheets had been corrected
with the utmost care, the work was
printed AT, splendidly bound, and
delivered to the subscribers. It
would be impossible to describe the
astonishment of the learned printer,
when one copy after another was
returned to him, till all were s nt
back. He enquired the reason of
this extraordinary circumstance; and
was informed that in one place the
compositor had put ici le pretre
otrra sa culotte, (here the priest
will takeoff his bn-eches,) instead
of calotte, (small black cap,) and the
error escaped the correctors of the
press. In vain did the poor printer
offer to make a cancel; the subscri
hers who were almost all ecclesias
lies, positively refused to take the
work on any terms. This unfortu
nate affair is said to have been the
first and chief cause of the derange
ment which afterwards caused Henri
Etn nne to be confined in the Luna
tic Hospital at Lyons where he diet!
in 169oV There is a copy of the
Missal with this unlucky error, in
the royal library at Paris.

Poh! This is nothing. The same
thing has been done at the Inquirer

also performs the last, as our printing

Child caught by an Eagle.- Tho
Nouvelliste Vaudois, French paper,
states .that last year a young child
disappeared near St. Maurice, in tho
Valais, and this year a similar event
having also occurred, ho trace of
the children could be found, except
a shoe and stocking of the one last
lost; and the opinion prevailed that
some wild beast had destroyed
them. Two eagles of enormous
size bad, however, been for some
time observed in tin neighborhood,
and ii was concluded to watch t hem,
to find if possible, their nest. Alter
long search, ii was disenveree a lew
days since among some lofty rocks,
and found tube that of the golden
eagle. The old birds were away at
the time, and two fine eagles, stand
ing two feet high, were brought

and on the rocks near it, w re tho
