Most Horriblk.?A Woman oored to
death by a Bull.?We And ihe following
in the Montreal Transcript. It relates
to the death of a Mrs. Young of
Ormstown, on the Chateaguay ltivcr,
Canada.
'The unfortunate sufferer was, we understand,
the widow of a farmer of that
nam6f*l>ut continued to reside upon the
land, and to derive from it such return as |
the industry and labor of herself and
daughter could procure. She raised a,
bull calf, on account of his beauty, which,1
having been familiarised with his mistress
ever since his birth, and having always1
, been fed by her hand, displayed a natural
attachment by no means displeasing to
Mrs. Y., whom he followed about the farm
like a dog. The animal is now a little!
more than two yeurs old. Towards the
end of last week, he had, as usual accom-1
panicd the cows to the homestead, and {
they were fastened in the cow-house, when
Mrs. Y. and her daughter proceeded thither
to milk them. On entering the building,
the girl proceedtd to the far end, to
milk the cow fastened there, and the loose
bull advanced with his usual familiarity
to Mrs. Y. who pushed him away with the
pail she carried in her hand. The animal ;
immediately turned upon her, and with]
the first thrust of his horn penetrated the/
abdomen, and violently raising his head,1
ripped her body in the most shocking,<
manner, fie immediately fled to the yard, 1

of the clothing, and a portion of the reeking
entrails of his victim ; here he tossed
and shook his head in a most frantic manner,
and roaring, returned to mafce a second
charge upon the hapless Mrs. Young.
By this time, however, the daughter had
seized the pitchfork, with which she gallantly
faced the animal, and after a long
struggle, and two or three very successful
stabs at the head of her antagonist, she'
fairly beat him from his purpose. Her
lirst care was now her unfortunate mother,
who, with such assistance as she could
give, was with much difficulty removed to
the dwelling house, where, after a night
passed in inexplicable torture., she died
the following morning."

the following communication 'was1
read aloud in the presence of Wilcox and
a large crowd '

Air. Johnston informs Air. Wilcox, \
that at or about one o'clock of this day, ]
he will be on the common, opposite the (
Presbyterian Church of this town, waiting !,

Mr. Wilcox declined being a party to j
any such arrangement, and Mr. D. told |
him to be prepared for an attack. Ac- U

armed with a double barrel gun, (one of

musket and both again fired. Wilcox i
sent twenty-three buck shot over Johnston's

She woold be a Sailor.?It will be
recollected that about two years ago, an in-J
dividual was arrested in this city, upon a
charge of stealing a horse, and was tried
and found guilty of the oflence and sentenced
to two years imprisonment in the
State Prison, under the name of Charts}
Stewart. It was soon afterwards discovered ,
by the prisoners that Charley belonged to
the feminine gender, and information having
been given to the keepers of the fact, she

and sent over to the female department of
Bellcvuc prison. Yesterday, the term of
her imprisonment expired, she was told that
she was at liberty to depart, offering her at
the same time, a deacent address of female
attire to begin the world .inevv with. This
proposition, however, she indignantly rejected,
demanding, as her right, the same clothing
that was taken away from her. Find- I
ing she could not obtain them, she came,
down in the forenoon, in her prison dress,
and solicited aid of the Almshouse, and was.
told to wait till one of the commissioners!
arrived. In the mean time she paraded!
herself upon the grass plots of the Park, and I
excited so much interest, after the spectators
iound put who she was, as to attract a con-1
siderable tuob, when she was persuaded to
submit to a temporary commitment until a
hearing of her case could be bad. It appears
that this singular young qr.nnan, who
is not over 19 or 20 years of age, had for
six years followed the sea in the capacity of
a common sailor, doing all sorts of hard
, duty, and subject to all the privations and
j toils of a sea life, without her sex ever having
been discovered, 'the reason for assuming
the character of a sailor, she would
never disclose. -She is a Scotch girl, and

Scarcely any one dared to approach her

them down wilh a kid as soon as they entered.
Her moral character, with the exceptions
above alluded to, is g>od. Her object
is to gel a suit or sailor's clothes, and go to I
sea again ; and as it is possible that she will
commit another crime to obtain them, per-11

Flying Artillery?An Experiment.? 1
A Frenchman in the Texan army," a j
scheming, inventive, hall crazy soul, lately I'
made an experiment of what he called i
lying artillery, which in the sequel well
nigh cost him his life.
in the first place, the Frenchman par- "
:bases a imnlc; on his hack lie pluv cd a
ox pound cannon, heavily loaded. The 1
muzzle of the canon wus pointed in an \
opposite direction from the head of the ,

Having fully equipod himself, our liero
started for a place where he understood
some hostile Oumanches were lying in
tmbush. Planting his force, consisting of
lin.self, cannon and mule on the summit
jf a hill, which commanded a thicket
vhere the Indians were supposed to he
lurking, he assumed a hostile position by
turning the tail of his tome in that direction
from whence he expected and was ! j
anxiously waiting an assault.
There he kept his ground for a long
lime without any manifestations of an
attack. At length his small stock of
patience was entirely exhausted and finding
that no attack was to he made upon
him bv animate, he determined upon giv- ,
ing inanimate creation a small sample ofj
bis flying artillery, just by way of liver.
He pointed bis six pounder in the direction
of the thicket, took his bearings,
made his calculations, and blazed away, j'

Age op toe Land Tortoise.?The
great age at which the land tortoise attains;
is illustrated in the case of one recently
found in the orchard of Mr. G. Bowersox,
near Hanover, Penn. It had engraved on
its shell?** J. R.?1760." This record
was made 77 years ago; and, from the
habits of the tortoise, it is quite probable
that it was made in the -neighborhood of the
place where the tortoise was last found.
The age and habit of the tortoise constitute
an exception of the general rule, that exer
cise is necessary to health and long life.
The finding of the tortoise with the above
marks, as noticed in the Hanover Gazette,
recalls to mind what we once heard related
by an aged and respectable citizen of that
Slate. He had when a boy found a tortoise
in a small copse skirting his fathers meadow;
on which were traced the initials of a
neighbor, whom he knew with a date twenty
yea re beforo. The boy added his own iui
tials, and date of the year, and then let the
tortoise run." Thirty years afterwards, the
boy?boy ind'-ed no longer?found the same,
tortoise, and added his initiuls and date a
second time. The first date was 1755?the
next 1776?and the third 1*05--comprising
i period of fifty years; and yet it was satisfactorily
ascertain; d that the record had
>eeu made each time within ten or fifteen
ods of the same spot. A circle ol twenty

for half a cen'ury".?[Bait. Pat.

when we take into consideration the e:
rapidity with which our population aug- st
ments, we have ??nly to look a few years,
in advance to see this country covered F
with plantations. The emigration from lit
the cotton growing States will very soon
he equal to the natural incrca ;e of popnla- tl
lion, at three and one half per cent which p
is the probable annual increase; at present
we have one hundred and seventy-fit e i F
thousand for emigration yearly, nearly all ti
of whom will remove to the country best ai
adapted t<? the culture of c. -tton, which is E
between 30s* 30' and 34w north latitude. ai
It cannot be supposed that the consumption
of cotton will continue to increase
on lite same ratio that it has fur the
past ten years, but the capacity for pro- l<
duclion will continue developing until the w
price he so reduced as to render some
other agricultural pursuit more piofilahle ei
to the planter. When that period arrives, f<
the country best adapted to the cotton s?
plant will continue ti.e cultivation, and tj
other parts will he abandoned for something
more advantageous. The present
low price is creating a competition most L
unfavorable for the northern planter. The
cultivator of land yielding fifteen hundred
to three thousand pounds of seed cotton I ft

o the acre, will hardly consider the planpr,
on land procuring fifom four to seven
