Itockvillc, Oct. SO, 1 831 . In this paper, ive have commenced tho publication of a lengthy, yet interesting Tale. The numerous ami repeated requests of many of our patrons, have induced us to give it a place in our paper; nothing but its length prevented its appearance at ancatlier period. We feel that we have been slow in redeeming the promise made to the "Lovere of Romance," but we trust that this will amply atone fir bur former delinquency. c:::::-o Gen.

The following, from the 'Globe,' will show the facts, from which the report took its rise: "The President during the last week had a sharp attack of intermittent fever. He was somewhat indiposed on l is return from his visit to Carrollton. and he promptly applied efficacious remedies before the disease assumed the form of the epidenvt which is now prevalent in the city. Ry thus taking it ir anticipation, the fever recurred only twice-with violence, and the third chill was entirely prevented. Ho has been rapidly recovering since, and was ahle to tideouton Friday. To-day, at noon, he receives many of his fellow-citizens who are now in this city, on business connected with mail contracts' -o::::::::oAt pn adjourned meeting of the fi lends of General?

STARVING JURIES. The Ma( t ice o f s t a r vi ng j u ri es, i n order to obtain a verdict, or, in other words, making a -.nan's jirngment depend upon the cravings of his stomach, is very properly exciting the animadversions ef respectable jviurnalists of Europe, as well as those of this country.--A late number of the London Times saytve are ashamed to look posterity in the face, and acknowledge this law, Of some peculiar fashions of the present dav we can hardly imagine how hey will be regarded when they are outjhut for this trick ofancestorical wisdom, we can have no doubt how it will be regarded. Our only hope is, that posterity will not believe it. They will certainly say, if they have nny regard for the memory of their grand fathers, that it is absolutely impossible, that a nation so wise as the English, in the I'-hh century, could ever have been guilty of the absurdity of shutting men up, without food or (Ire, to comoel them to be unanimous. More over, it is not fair to the jurymen 'a mong each other; for some men ran fast longer than others, and pcrad venture some of the party may be better prepared than others. The swearing of the jury, under those circumstances, is ridiculous as well as profane. If they swear to judge according to evidence, they must be supposed to exercise their judgment; but suppose that they were requested to lake an Oath, that they would all be of the same opinion, would not the proposal be a mockery of tli solemnity of an oath, and an insult to a man s common sense and understand ing? One might be tempted to ima gi no, that rcqui ri ng unar unity of a j u ry . and enforcing it bv such a dreadful penalty, was done to render trial bv ju ry, absurd and unpopular. It is a sad thing for a man, when he is summoned on a jury, to think that he is in danger of having to choose between starvation and perjury." . Animal Instinct.- An interesting pa per on the methods adopted by ranou animals for securing the nccescary warmth during winter, appears in the lastnumber ofthe" Journal ofScience. from the pen of Mr. Rennie. The au thor considers the domestic habits of thecat'to be chiefly owing to its great sensibility or impatience of cold. A- that species may in fact be considered as f :ri nitnrce. After mentioning the hah lis ofthe wilJ cat,which subsists whol iy ou umt, or m.cc in the woods yet always retires it possible to some shed or outbuilding, "s where it can obtain sh- Iter from the cold, lie mentions the following anecdote: rat, which had been long remarked as one ofthe wildest of those which frequented a barn on the borders of a wood in Ayrshireo wild, ind ed, as seldom to be seen, was several times during a shap frost observed, with no little surprise, to pass and repass into the adjacent framehouse, which it had not been for some years known lo enter or eyen approach. It might have been inferred that it was compelled by hunger, had not this been the best season for catching birds, but In one of these stealthy visits it was seen snugly coiled up beside a baby in the cradle, to the no small horror ofthe mother, who imagined, in accordance with the popular prejudice, that it had come to suck away the baby's breath. All I could say to persuade her ofthe impossimlity ofthe cat doing this was of n avail, and orders were immediately given to every servant on the form to kill the poor cat

whenever she could be found". "The caution and agility were, however, long successful in shaving her, and though the presecution she experienced rendered her muchwilder, than before, yet she was not thereby deterred, even after she had been wounded by a pitchfork, and lamed by throwing a hatchet at her, from paying a daily v isit to the baby in her cradle, because it was the warmest place within her knowledge, and next to food, she deemed warmth the most indispcnsible to life. She persisted thus in venturing to the cradle till she was at length intercepted and killed." It is worthy of notice that although animal instinct

oftentimes prompt the male gender of

the domestic cat to wander far from 1 as is generally known, comprises an jnhome in the most severe weather, yet tercsting diversity of Tai.es, Moral &

he always retunrs to the fireside, and sustains a temperature which none of the canine species would be able to

A correspondent of the Staffordshire Advertiser says, -I notice the dreadful explosion of asteamhoiler at Liverpool. Mad a surety plate of sheet lead been affixed to such a boiler, it would 1 ave been physically impossible to hurst it with steam. About twelve months ago I tried to hurst a steam engine boiler, used for winding up coal, but did not effect it; the surety plate gradually became thinner as the heat and elasticity increased, swelled in to a hemisphere, and then tore asunder without any fragments, letting offlhe steam a loud but harmless explosion." Sheffield Iris. o::::::::o Vain? of a Jail. We have been told that the first nail ever seen in Ma dagascar was taken from a boat at Raitea. It was a-spike nail, and brought hither by its fortunate possessor as something of rare value. And so it proved, for he made no small gain by lending it out for hire to canoe builders to bore luiLs in the sides ot their plahks. Vfterwards another lucky fellow got hold of a nail, and not knowing hov such a thing came into existence, he shrewdly conjectured thatitmut have been formed by a process of vegetation. Wherefore, to propagate so valuable an exotic, he planted his nail iu the ground, hut waited in vain for the blade, the bu l, the bloossom, and the fruit. This man is still living, and has not heard the last of his speculation, being oflca reminded, to his no small chagrin of the folly by which he acquired at least one pieceof knowledge.

BadcliiFe, attend ing one of his most intimate friends in a dangerous illness, retused, with an unusual degree of generosity, to take a The. patient insisted; but the Doctor was positive.

Th Doctor stretched forth his hand anr said. Well, I can hold out no longer singly, I could have refused them for a twelvemonth, but altogether, they are irresistible. INDIAN k COLLEGE. We omitted last week to notice that the examination of the Students of this Nourishing institution, which common eed on-. Monday and continued until Thursday lat. We were much gtv itied at the general turnout of our citi zens to witness it, and so we have heard opinions expressed on the subject, creneral satisfaction was given. It i? not thought necessary, at this time, to enter into a lengthy detail; and we now refer to lue, examination, to invite the attention of tlnse at a distance to this College. Those who send their young men from home to receive their education, wc believe this institution offers inducements but seldom found. and to such we respecfully recommend in examination of the talents and qualifications of the teachers, and the pri nciples upon which the College is conducted.
