Among the many txp' dients proposed for the purpose of dislodging him from his lofty re treat was the following, which succeeded: Mr. Knowlton resolved to climb the tree with a rope, and if possible to fix it r.bout the neck gf the enraged animal, and take him alive- A rope therefore, of sufficient length being procured, Mr. K. ascended the tree, having one end of it attached to him and the other in the hacds of his friends on the grour.d The top of the tree consisted of two princpai upright branches, on one of which was the panther, and our hero possessed himself of ihf. other. Thus situated ab;jut 'JO feci i'tm the grour.d, it was necessary to proceed wu'u great caution.Mr. Knowlton, however, not atall intimi dated by the menacing attitude and growling of the panther, actually succeeded in throwing a noose about his neck and made it ast.

CAT.

:iv.k of a cat v.all known, and that

From th IIarj;t r-.tawri Torcli L'ht. IN I'EHNAL IMPROVEMENT. Ivav Y ok has set an example, and vht v.n ;m tnterprize which is above all pr.iiae. Tr.e great Canal of the Lakes, is an undertaking ot which the most p. ovcilul government- on earth might be p-- ;.:;!. Yh . n the rrrsgrvfiTrnt pbar. was lir-. prrrentel to her people, it was alra,.',t i::v.verL,::'lv condemned, as visions ty and impracticable. An outcry was raised agamat the men who proposed to UX the people, and to expend their money on so wild and unprofitable a scheme. 'I he good sense of die people, however, prevailed, and the result has realised, ch more than reab-ed their most sanguine hopes. A canal of three huudred miles is now almost completed. Cities have fprung up ir. the bosom of the vd

dcrness, as

TRUE COURAGE. The following extraordinary fact has jost been related to us, and we think it worthy ot record, as enc of the many instances of heroism that distinguished some of our neighbors in the early settlement of Susquehannah county. Mr. Cooper, the novelist, might have been glad to avail himself of it for his, "Pioneers," for fancy, in its most brilliant co

lor?, can hardly sketch a more heroic

: hat ire nay draw them into the snaitsot j picture.

; ct tr.e pa;r:cts ol imericn, a panttier which had eccaped from acnge

uhich was but as yesterday a wild and interminable forest, is now enlivened b

the din of the arl3 and throng of com mercial enterprise. 'i ii:s wok is not more a glory to the state than an honor to the country. Pennsylvania, for 30 years past, has dune much to improve her inland navigation. The good effects of her wise and well conducted measures have long been visible, and are every day becoming more so, t:i the growing population and wealth of the State. Her citizens, with a spirit that does them great honor, have very lately raised, by private subscription upwards of S600,009, for the

purpose of connecting by canal navigation the waters of the Chesapeake and Delaware Cays. South Carolina has, within a short period, appropriatetl a million of dollars to internal improvements. Iler primary objects are to open a communication between the Sea board and the interior of the State, bv canal navigation. Virginia has lately come forward with a comprehensive and judicious plan for public improvements, and engaged in its execution with liberality and zeal. A bill to charter the Potomac canal company, without an appropriation, cr even a pledge of any of the state funds, was proposed in the legislature of Maryland and lost by a large majority. The same act, with an appropriation ofnearjOO,000, passed the legislature of Virginia without difficulty; such is the difieretice between the wisdom and enterptizc ol Virginia and Maryland! 1 he James River canal is a magnificent work, and in every respect worthy of the enlightened cepncpls o Virini?.

North Carolina, in the year 1319 engtged an engineer from abroad. Even in England, the number of those who arc eminent in that profession is so small that much difficulty was experienced in finding a suiuole persoa. By the advice of Mr. R-.-nnie and Mr. Selford,

who are considereel the hru civil engineers in Europe, Mr. Hamilton Fulton was finally engaged, at an annual salary of more than S5 000. Mr. Fulton had L?ea employed oy the board of admiralty ar B-rmuda and Malta, and also by the Kiug of Sweden, in laving out the great canal from Gotrenburgh to the North Sea. In July, 1819 he arrived in North Carolina, and has since been engaged in developing the natural resources of the state In the year 1820, the legislature made an appropriation of Si 50,000 annually, for seven years, for internal improvements. Ohio has also come forward with a plan which promises much for the wealth and prosperity of her priple. A bill passed the legislature at their last session, making sufficient appropriations to complete the investigations relative to the; various routs of canal communications between the Ohio and Lake Erie, 3Uthorizoi.'the Boa: dot Commissioners to employ two of their number as acting com-mission-rs for that purpose. Also, to accept proposals for conditional grants of land on the different routs, and to ascertain on what terms, and to what amount, loans n iv be obtained on the credit of the state, to complete the canals. A violent temp.st, accompanied with thunder, lightning and rain, wa' experieneed at Norwich, Conn, on the 25th ult. several barns and shed were uaroofed, and many-fences and trees prostrated. In M ntvd!e. the Presbyterian Church was struck with lightning, while the congregation was as-cmblrd, and ktlici two females, Mrs. Betsey Bradford, aged 75, and Mis Mary S. Comstock. Two young ladies we-e also severely injured; the belfry was shattered; several pa-.ts end pvj f.hvered " pieces, and n viy all the glass broken. It is meat'on. J is a remarkable coincidence, that th ; Rrv. Pastor had pn; fin. she I reading a mn, beginning wi:h these words: NSe'liink the rea' Jay has come, Met'iinks I h.-ur the tru.apiit saaml; That bii dies the earth, rend, .'very to nb, And wakes tlie orison .us under tr und."

Winchester, (va.)mav 24 .Manyfields of wheat have been ploughed up, and corn substituted in its place, antl many persons calculating on an average of 20 or 25 bushels per acre, would now compound for 6 bushels. The Hagerscovvn, (Md.) paper advises us of the serious i'ljury sustained by the fly, in that county. The accounts from Saenandoak and Hampshire counties are fitterinrr.
