FOR TIIK KKKK l'KKSS.
llm-anl: Inclosed you will find a piece
of beautiful poetry, which was found some
time since set up at Clark's mill, in Martin
county. The occasion on which it was written
was this the miller h:ul had some pigs stolen
from him and the author of the piece by some
means found out where they were and took this
method of giving him notice of it. You will
please insert it and oblige An old Subscriber,
GOO LOOK YOUR PIGS.
Titer's pigs and bacon yet behind
If you quckly look perhaps you find
They wen conceal in a pen
Soo doth say my werthey friend
The pen is clost around the fence
And can be fond, if seaked with common sense
JVrhaps they may be turn'd out
Of a night they are about.

Say, what would be thy first wish,
If a fairy said to thee,
''Now, ask a boon; I'll grant it,
Whatever it may be.
The first wish of thy heart, I think
May easily be told
Confide in me deny it not
Thy wish would be for gold."
4,Oh, no thou art mistaken
That should not be the boon
My thirst for this world's lucre
is ever sated soon:
The only gold I prize, is such
As industry has bought;
And gold like that from fairy's hands
Would fruitlessly be sought."
"Say, what then would thy first wish be
Ambition's laurelled name
The pride of popularity
The pinnacle of fame
Tlii pampered board of luxury
Where crowd of menials wait
Thy second wish would still be gold
To furnish forth thy state."
''Ah! no the days have lone gone by,
When such had been my choice;
I ask not fame far more I prize
Tiie self-approving voice.
My first wish should not be for fame
My second not for gold
But listen to me patiently,
My wishes shall be told.
'Oh give m hut a happy home,
To share with her I love
Oh, let me from her path of life,
Eacli anxious care remove
And like the sweet days of the past,
May we have days in store."
Oh, give me this and only this
I'll never ask for more. "
Sheep killed by Cats. The last Lan
caster (Pa.) Examiner say.: Incredible
is this may sound, we have good author
ity for saying the deed has actually been
perpetrated in this county. Several
cats, of the common species, with their
progeny, have for three or fours past
made an old stone quarry in Martie town
ship their abiding place, and in that time
it would seem have relapsed to the wild
state, and acquired the ferocious and pre
datory habits natural to their tribe. A
short time ago some of them were seen
in pursuit of a full grown sheep belong
ing to the flock of Mr. Martin lerr, of
that vicinity. They soon overtook it,
dragged it to the ground, and before the
person who witnessed the scene could
reach the spot, 'they succeeded in so la
cerating the poor animal's- throat that it
bled to death in a short lime. It re
quired considerable exertion to drive
them oft. A dog, subsequently sent in
pursuit of them, caught one, but would
probably have been himself worsted in
the conflict that ensued, had not the ow
ner come to his rescue. It is said they
also pursued a small boy some lime ago,
and followed him a considerable distance,
as is now supposed with deudly intent.
tt?A number of scientific gentlemen
ot Charleston, fe. O. Have tried a series of
experiments to decide the question whe
ther the American Vulture (turkey buz
zard) is guided by the eye or the faculty
of smell in the pursuit of food! and have
come to the conclusions that it is altoge
ther destitute of the latter, and is direct
ed solely by the euse of sight. They
have also discovered that the carrion
crow and vulture- devour frosh as well as
nutrid meat. The same gentlemen test
ed the story lately published, that if the
eye of a turkey buzzard were put out by
perforation, it would be restored and the
siht renewed by putting the head under
the wing, iho down of which is said to
perform the miracle. They found that
the eye is refilled, but the sight is not re
stored. They found, also, that a blind
bird cannot perceive the most offensive

above facts arc derived from an article in
the Baltimore American, the editors ol
which have perused a pamphlet detail
ing the experiments.
(Jasper llauscr. Most of our readers
will probably remember that a lad, pale
and thin, and a perfect child of nature,
appeared about four years since, in the
streets of Nuremberg, in Germany he
was named Casper llauscr. He had
been imprisoned in a dark and gloomy
cell, from the period of helpless infancy.
He was thirteen years old but might be
said to be just born. He knew nothing
of the works of nature had no speech
no apparent sensibility. I5y degrees, he
was taught to speak, and to express his
ideas. He wept when he saw the stars
for the first time, that he had been kept
by his cruel and unknown master, shut up
in ihe dark, away from such beautiful ob
jects. It finally transpired pretty clearly,
that he was the illegitimate son of a priest
who had kept him in confinement, to hide
his own and Caspar's mother's sin and
shame. This appears evident from the
attempts which have been made to assas
sinate him the last of which was suc
cessful, as appears by the late London
papers. , -The poor youth was enticed in
to the garden of his protector at Nurem
berg'by a stranger muflled in a cloak, and
stabbed to the heart.
The horned Man. Some years since
there lived at Naples a man, named Ala
resin, whose head was remarkable for a
horny excrescence occupying the part be
tween the superior and posterior angles
of the right parietal bone. This horn
was of a pale yellow, six inches long, and
had two twists in a spiral shape, the point
of it pressing against the nape of the
nape. Maresia was 75 years old when
he resolved to have his horn cut oil; iti
had at this time all the consistency of a
ram's horn. Its extirpation was with
great difficulty accomplished by Dr. Pcn
sa; but six weeks after two small horns,
about half an inch long each, and quite
like the former one, presented themselves
near the cicatrice, but disappeared after
a short suppuration.
Letters from Sydney, New South
Wales, state the arrival there of the first
vessel with free female settlers, 215 in
number, and the result of the experiment
is highly satisfactory. In three days no
less than 130 of them were engaged, and
there was no doubt that the whole of
them would in a few days be provided for.
The letters dwell with much gratification
on the comparison between these women
and the wretched outcasts heretofore sent
out to the colony. London pajicr.
Melancholy. A young lady, of a weal
thy family at Bologna, Italy," was execu
ted on the Gth of February last, for mur
der. Impelled by jealousy, she succeed
ed in poisoning two very lovely youti"
women, one of whom was her own cou
sin. She was married, and suspected
her husband of committing infidelities
with her two victims. The proceedings
against her had continued for two years,
and her husband finding that her fate
was inevitable, as there was no hope of
pardon from the Pope, on account of the
enormity of her crime, died of despair a
short time before her execution.
AC?" A little boy just returned from a
long visit, was asked by his mother how
he had enjoyed himself while absent from
home; he answered with a boyish simpli
city, he liked his visit very well but he
would'nt that's what he wouhf nt nev
er ride home between Cousin George and
Sarah again, for they kept hugging and
kissing each other, squeezing liim all the
time and almost spoilt his new hat.
