SA TURD A Y, NOVEMBER 17, 1 827. We have had no official account of the result of the congressional election in Kentucky, to fill the place of Dr. Young, rlec'cl. in the 11th district. The Louisville Advertiser states that Mr. Chilton, the Jackson candidate, has been elected over Mr. Calhoun. We shall be able to give a statement of the votes next week. Phenomenon. Our citizens were not
a little alarmed at the unusual and por-
tentious appearances of the weather
on Monday la&t. For some days previ
obs the sky had been enveloped in thick
smoke, indicating the commencement of
Indian summer. About 10 o'clock on
the morning of Monday, the smoke appeared, as if impelled by the four winds to some focal point, to be gathering in the west with increased density. The sun became totally obscured. The low rumbling noise of distant thunder, foretold the approach of a storm, and as it advanced the sable mantle of darkness was
eonable to suppose that he had been for
cibly carried away. Such was the fact: and wc have the satisfaction to announce that he is now in safety in this
city.
According: to the statements we have
heard, Mr. Ellting was knocked down
with a club. On recovering his senses,
he found he was confined in a box, which had apertures that admitted air but no light. The box was so large that he
could sit up in it, but not stretch himself
at full length. In this narrow place of Raucb, have ocular demonstration of
confinement he was carried about for
twenty three days, and fed during that period on bread and water. He was never permitted to come out of it but at night, and when there was not light enough for him to discover the features
of his captors. He however, was able
to discover that the vehicle in which he was carried about, was a peddler's cart, with a canvass covering supported by bent hoops; and also that one of the horses was dark colored and the other a erey. The men concerned in this out
rage were three in number. Two of
them wore coatees, and the third a surtout. About 9 o'clock on Wednesday night, according to the statement we have heard, the three ruffians released Mr. Ellting about one mile north of Kensington. He asked for his pocket book, which contained about fifty dollars in money and a number of papers, but they told him he ought to be thankful for having his life granted him. At an early period of his confinement, one of his cap
tors exchanged clothes with him. When

gently thrown over our village, involving they released him they gave him back
it in the shades of midnight. The in-
habitants retired to their houses, and in watchful solicitude awaited the result. About this time a gentle shower of rain
commenced, and shortly after the dark
ness began to decrease. The bright
king of day, asserting his power, chased the lingering shades and ushered in the morning at noontide. We are assured by those who witnessed, and distinctly recollect the great eclipse in 1806, that the darkness which prevailed here for 10 or 15 minutes on Monday last, was greater than at any time during that eclipse. The American Sentinel contains a list of the members of the next Pennsylva

that the Senate will be composed of 27 Democrats and 6 Federalists. Of which 26 are favorable to Gen. Jackson and 7 to Mr. Adams; In the House of Representatives there will be 77 Democrats

Land-ink men of the Union are writing
public and private challenges against each other; when City challenges City,
and State challenges State, for 6ome po

We pulled a Peach that grew in our office yard, weighing eleven and a half owiccs, and measuring ten and a half inches in circumference. Pat. The "Coshocton Spy,' a periodical from Ohio, contains another challenge of a character equally pacific, though a little more fruitful ; Coshocton against the world in the pro

he had no sooner done this, than on looking around, he discovered that he was surrounded on every side by these venomous serpents. He then took a club and commenced killing, and before they could make good their retreat, h; had forty of them lying dead before him. He took four of the largest and returned home. On measuring them they were found to be over four and a half feet in
his clothes. Mr. Ellting then with much length, and nine inches in circumference, difficulty made his way to the house of Their aKes could not be ascertained, as
To-day we publish two articles concerning Capt. Morgan: one stating that
a body had been found on the shore ofl
Lake Ontario, which, upon the examination of a number of witnesses," among
by a jury of 23 men to he that of Morgan; and that a person by the name of
Hill was in prison, who had confessed to the murder of Morgan probably from the circumstance of the body having been found. The other, that the body found has been claimed by a woman in Canada as her husband's. Which of the parties who have set up claims to this body will eventually succeed in holding it, we cannot pretend to say; but are rather disposed to think the claims of the
Canadian are the best. It appears to us
as a circumstance hardly to be credited,
that a body thrown into any river or lake
inhabited by fishes, &,c. should, after
having lain therein over one year, be susceptible of recognition by any external marks. We feel pretty well persuaded
had Morgan been thrown into the Ohio
iiiSlcad of the Niagara, as represented,
a development of his fate, at this late
period, must have depended more on the
identity of bones than of flesh. But per
haps the inhabitants of the 'vasty deep',
n the cast have more respect for persons.
As it respects the confession of Hill,
as one of the murderers of Morgan, there appears Sme mystery, which time must unravel, before we can believe his tale of self-crimination. His confession made to 'the citizens of Erie county,' will be given next week.
she put to sea. The crew were surprised, after getting to sea to find her very leaky, and that the leak gained very fast upon them. Considering the nature of the cargo, and the rate at which she made water, they deemed it impossible to save her. They finally took to the boat, and rowed from her, lay at a distance to watch her sinking. They continued to watch her till far beyond the time in which they had calculated she would disappear. Surprised that she still continued afloat, they returned to her, and found that the leak ceased to increase, but they were perfectly at a loss to account for the circumstance. They set the sails, and finally got her into Milford Haven; and to their astonishment, found the leak had been stopped by the body of a fish, which had been forced in
with some sea weed, by which means the
ship and cargo were saved.
many of their rattles fell off, and were
lost among the leaves, when they were killed; but they were probably near thirty years old. Two of them were of the yellow kind, and their heads resembled very much in color, copper that has been newly melted. Longevity. Old Arthur Wall, of Wake Forest N. C. completed the hundred and ninth year of his age on the 15th ult. A few da ago, he walked three miles, and said he was somewhat fatigued, and thought he discovered h) it, that old age was creeping upon him.

OBITUARY.
DIED at the town of Risii g Sun in Dearborn county Indiana, on he morning of the 11th of this month of a pulmonary complaint, Nicholas Shafei aged '15 years. He has left a disconsolate widow and five children to mourn hi loss. Mr. Shafer was an affectionate husband and indulgent parent and a worthy citizen, his disposition was kind and amiable, his manners pleasing and conciliatory; although from the nature of his disease the approach of death was slow, but certain, he met it with thai calmness and resignation which characterize the true christian, expressing, a short time before the close of his mortal career, a firm reliance on the efficacy ol redeeming love and that he entertained a lively hope his soul was prepared for a happy immortality, beyond the stormy waves of time. He was buried with Masonic honours: and although the day was very unfavorable the brethren, as likewise his numerous friends, and neighbors generally attended the funeral. A very solemn and impressive discourse was delivered by the Rev. Lucius J. Alden who had visited the deceased during his illness, &, who expresed to the audiance, his' firm belief that "his end was happy He saw afir the pointed shaft, But never turn'd to shun the blow; He hail'd it as the wing: to wsft IP'S aoul, where tears can nvej flowr.

In the Uazelte ol 1'riday, we published an article from the E.iston Democrat, relative to the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Addison Ellting, near the narrow? of Lackavraxen. As Mr. Ellting is a man of unblemished character and respectability", living on the most alf;ctionate terms with his family, and in no way involved in biscircumstanceSiit was rea
Tortoise Shell. The follow inrr sinsu
iarly barbarous process for obtaining the
tortoise shell, is extracted from an Indi 11 1 A I
m newspaper, canea me sineaporc Chronicle. This highly prized aquatic
production, when caught by the islanders, is suspended over a fire kindled immediately after its capture, until such time as the effect of the heat loosens the shell to such a degree that it can be removed with the greatest ease. The animal, now stript and defenceless, is set at liberty, to re-enter its native element. If caught in the ensuing season, or at any subsequent pei fod, it is asserted that the unhappy animal is subjected to a second ordeal of fire, rewarding its captors this time however, with a very thin shell. This, if true, shows more polity and skill than tendernt's in the method thus adopted by the islanders: it is a questionless proof, too, of tenacity of life in the animal, and must further be accounted a very singular fact in natural history.
