I picked out and purchased what would now be called a nice little “forty’’ of py bottom land in a bend of the river, with the best if not the only landing in the vicinity. I made my clearing and put up several improvements. Several years after, I was visited on a fine m¢erning by a company of grave individuals, the foremost of whom, Mr. Brown, thus ad- dreszed me : . “Look-a-here, strainger, we’ve been buyin’ land all round you, and your land sorter in- terferes with our’n. We want tocut a road to the river and have a steamboat landing, and you’ve got the only piece of bluff on the river that’ll do for one. We'll want the en- tire clearing for warehouses and things, the whole up country stands in need of it, and I can’t say as I think much o’ that Indian title o’ yourn.’* _ Now the road I did Tne to It ss improve my property. ut m) ropert, decidedly Chjected At saving a sialic! “Well,” said I, “Mr Brown, the road nee to be cut, I suppose; I can’t allow my individual wishes to stand of the whole community. Still I can’t help feeling a sort of right to my land—I’ye put up improvements, and [ hate, besides, to be driven out so unceremoniously.’’ ‘Well, strainger, you've got some show, eureenough Id feel just that way myself. Our boys muster pretty strong, but we aint the sort to jump on any man because he's smali sized, particularly just after coming out of a bar fight, such as I heerd you had down in alligator bend, you and another man ’’ “Yes, said I, we had tw go inside the bear's den, and both got considerably scratched.’ « Oh, I know you aint the kind its healthy to fight with. But you've got sense enough to see you can’t stay here. Our hegs would rur ali over your lace, and our boys would al- ways be tumbling down your fences, hunting for stock, and doing a good deal of mischief generally, without woaning it.’” “Well,” said I, ‘* Mr Brown, it’s useless for us, the interested parties, to bo arguing our rights. I'll enter into a contract by which you can get your road, and we'll leave the rights te be settled by the lawyers.” I selected a pretty shrewd lawyer ~* Pusslewig,’’’ said I, ‘‘Brown thinks he must have my land—that the road can’t be Besides, he is inclined to Now, my right by possession and settlement I value more than any other kind of right; and I want to know if you can fix the business so that they can made without it dispute my Indian title. have their road, and I keep my place ”’ So Puzalewig drew up a deed, very inge- niously leaving out the word ‘forever’ in that part which related to making over my property to Brown, ‘‘his heirs, and assigns, forever.”” “What's the use of that ?’’ said I. “Why, let ’em go on and build the road ; and if they proceed any further lay an in- junction. The deed 1s informal.’’ ‘* But that informality don’t amount to any- thing. They ll just laugh at it when they find it out, as Brown’s lawyer is sure to do ” “Brown s lawyer aint likely to notice it. They aint particular about small matters And they may laugh at it, but old Squire e’d just as soon consider an instrument legal with one word out as he’d Rope won't. consider you a man without your head.” “But this is a mere trick. 1 won't consent to it” “Why not? Who’s hurt? it; it’s theirown lookout. They get the road, which is all they really want, and you keep your land.”’ ‘Well, Puzzlewig, 1 loave the casuistry to you. Ifyou get me into any serape I shal! expect you to get me out again.’’ Brown’s lawyer was pretty sharp, too, They glanced over the deed; but having only a general business interest in the affair, sup- posed all was right. They offered the money, which I suffered for the time to remain on their hands. Soon after the completion of the road a dif- ficulty arose. They wanted my house. I re- ferred them to my lawyer, and the case was brought up before Mr. Uriah Pope, justice of the peace. As usual, in such matters, there was an immense deal of discussion of Indian titles, old Spanish grants, and other irrele- vancies. In the midst of my lawyer's speech, as he was drawing a vivid picture of the bones of sundry Indian ancestors whitening on a foreign soil, Brown jumped up— “All that ain’t gota thing to do with it. I’m told thar’s something the matter with the deed, and I should just like to know what! ’’ “Why,’’ said Pusslewig, blandly, “the deed gives you the land, but it does not give itto youto seep We do not consider it by any means prospective in its operation.”’ ** Look-a-here, Mr Puzzlewig, do you mean to tell me that when I sell a man land I don’t sell it to him to keep?” “The law, my dear sir,’’ said Puzziewig, pompously, ‘can take no notice of your in- tentions The object of legal instruments is that there shall be no mistake in bargains If you made a mistake, you are just where you were before you appealed to law.”” * Do you mean to tell me, sir,’ shouted Brown, “that when Smith sells me land, he don’t sell it?” “ My dear sir,’’ replied Puzzlewig, ‘‘ had Smith intended to sell you the land forever, there is no doubt but that, in conformity witu what I believe to be the universal rule in re gard to instruments of this nature, the deed would have contained in specific terms, a re nunciation to that effect.” ‘* Look-a-here, Squire Rope, you don’t call that law, do you?” But old Rope was asleep. Brown then turned tome. “ Well, stranger, Ispose [ can’t blame you any way; we'll have to let the lawycrs fight it out betweon them. If I thought we would’nt get the land any how, I’d be mad as thunder [ don’t think you ought to encourage these law tricks, but you did’nt make ’em, and enly follow the fashion in using ’em. So come, let’s go take a drink.’’ » Winns in roe Nontaenn Hewisruere — Professor Coffin, of Lafayette College, Penn sylvania, in an elaborate sciertific paper, says that there exist in the northern hemis- phere three great zones of wind, extending entirely around the earth, modified, and, in some cases, partially interrupted by the con- figuration and character of the surface. first of these is the trade wind, near the equa- tor, blowing when uninterrupted, from north- east te eouthwest; this belt is interrupted, however, in the Atlantic ocean, near the coast of Africa, upon the Mediterranean sea, and also in Barbary by the actions of the Great Deseri. The second is a belt of westerly wind, nearly 2,000 miles in breadth, between lat- itude 32.and 60 north, and encircling the earth, the westwardly direction being clearly defined in the middle of the belt, but grad- ually disappearing as we approach the limits oneitherside North of this, there is another system of winds blowing southwardly, from high northern latitudes, and gradually in- clining toward the west as it moves into a lat- itude of greater easterly velocity.

A correspondent of the Caddo Gazette, wri- ting under date of the 28th ult., from Para- lifta, Arkansas, on Upper Red River, states that the cold during the present winter bas been in that region the severest within the memoryof man. The rivers were frozen solid, the plains presented an unbroken sheet of The writer relates the following story of an attempt to capture the famous wild man, who has been so often encountered on the bor- ders of Arkansas and Northern Louisiana - “In my travels I met a party from your country in pursuit of a wild man. They had struck his trail at a cane-brake bordering on Brant Lake and the Sun-Flower Prairie. learned from one of the y that the dogs run him to an arm of the lake which was frozen, but not sufficiently strong to bear his weight, which consequently gave way. He at however, crossed, and the dogs were at al “One of the party, mounted on a fleet horse, coming up, encouraged the dogs to pursue, but found it impossible to cross with his horse, and concluded to follow the lake round until he could ascertain the direction taken by this monster of the forest. On reaching the oppo- site side of the bend, he was surprised to see something in the lake like a man breaking the ice with his arms, and hastened under cover of the undergrowth, to the spot where he expected him to come out. He concealed himself near the place, when he bad a full view of him, until he reached the shore, where he came out and shook himself He represents him as a stout, athletic man, about six feet four inches in height, completely cov- ered with hair of a brownish cast, about four to six inches long. He was well muscled and ran up the bank with the fleetness of a deer. “He says be could have killed him with his gan, but the object of the party being to take him alive, and hearing the horas of his com- rades and the howling of the dogs on the op- posite bank of the lake, he concluded to ride up and head him, so as to bring him to bay aad then secure their prize. So soon, ho er, as the wild man saw the horse and rider he rushed frantically towards them, and in an instant dragged the bunter to the ground and tore him in # most dreadful manner, scratch- ing out one of his eyes and injuring the other so much that his comrades despair of the re- covery of his sight, and biting large pieces out of his shoulders and various parts of his body. ‘*The monster then tore off the saddle and bridle from the horse and destroyed them, and holding the horse by the mane, broke a short piece of sapling, and mounting the animal, started at full speed across the plains in the direction of the mountains, guiding with his club. The person left with the wounded man informed me that the party was still in pursuit, having been joined by a band of friendly Indians, and thought that if they could find a place in the mountains not covered with snow, or a canebrake im the vicinity to feed their horses, they might over- take him in a day or two.” —_-++__ Corron Suprrsepen sy Sitk.—The Paris —— of the London Atlas says: ‘* We hail with delight the announcement that a savant has just made so valuable a dis- covery in the art of preparing silk, that this article will become cheaper and more common thancotton.

The price of the silk is five francs a pound when spun, being one hundred and twenty francs cheaper than that of the pres entday. This new method of procuring silk will at once be adopted in all countries, as the mulberry can be grown in any country, and requires scarcely any culture. The cultiva- tion of this new branch of industry will do away entirely with that of cotton, so that slavery will have a natural cause of abandon- ment in the United States, little anticipated at the beginning of the century.’’ Trrevte to Prixrers.—The Chaplain of the New Hampshire Penitentiary, in review- ing the events of his life since his connection with that institution, pays the following com- pliment to journeymen printers : I have the happiness to namber among my friends many printers, but shough it may seom to imply either a lack of ability on the part of the minister, or the want of the qual- ities that are necessary in order to appreciate good preaching on the other part, yet I will reveal the fact that I have never succeeded well with that class.

Moxey ror Somzpony —Mr C. T. Unangst, ons of the supervisors of the Morris Canal, states that in cogent last a boatman applied to him to have the water drawn from the level at Little Falls, in order to recover a pocket book containing $102 50, which he had lost in the water joubting the statement and probability of finding it, the request was not complied with, and since then the boatman has not been seen. Recently, however, while the water was out, the pocket-book was found, with the money safe, consisiing of a $100 bill on the Mechanics’ and Manufacturers’ Bank of Trenton, a $2 bill on the Union Bank, of Dover, and a 50 cent piece.
