HEM ARK ABLE. Mr. Montgomery, the jailor of the county, handed us the following communication, which he says was written by one of the prisoner. The falling of the stones and muscle, he assures us, was witnessed by many, perhaps all the prisoners, tome of whom are in confinement for debt, others charged with crimes. lie, himself, was in the conn-
I try on that evening, hut lie declares that he
has no doubt of the truth ol their story, lie says that he picked up muscles on the next morning. Remarkable Circumstance. On Saturday evening, the 9th ult. about 3 o'clock, the southwestern hemisphere became suddenly overspread by heavy dark clouds, which indicated the fast approach of a storm, which was carried swiftly along by the angry wind, which smote the earth as though the very elements were al war with each
j other soon the water began to gush from
its cistern. During the extreme part of the rain, some of the psisoncisin iail observed

and the public generally, that he is now receiving and opening in Vovav, in the lare new buck
house, owned by John I'. Dufour, ec son, west of
Pleasant &, Mendonhall's store, .1 fresh ami general assortment
Take them and live.'' The strong man came, something falling, resembling the small stones
that may be seen on the beach of a river.
What fust attracted attention was the rattling upon the bricks in the yard. When the storm had subsided, the piisoners were not a little astonished as well as delighted, at finding that, not only the inactive stones were to be found, but that numbers of living muscles had been removed from their native element, and were ready for gathering within the jail walls. The number found is not accurately known, as some went immediately to woik on the fresh dainty, opening, salting, and swallowing, until they were consumed. One person, however, picked up ten before the others were informed that the yard
abounded with fresh muscles. Some of them, fiom appearance, must hive weighed two
ounces. I here were also several round
Muck worms, f -r whom our sweat and Mood i stones found, one of which would weigh four
five ounces, and which may vet be seen.
As came the fiend of vore
To Paradise put forth his hand, And they are mine no more. I saw the rulers of the land, In chariots bright with gold ltoll on 1 gazed, my babes and I, In hunger and in cold. I srav a prelate, sleek and proud, Drawn by four chargers, pass; How much he seemed like Jesus meek, When he rode or. an ass. A trinket of a lor J passed by, With all his rich array, And waved me off, my babes and !, As things of coarser clay. There followed close a hideous throng
Of pert and pensioned things
Must furnish gilding wing.
I will not tell you what I thought, Nor for my burning- I ks Fir.d words, but ihey rue bitterer fir Than aught that's writ in Locks. Til set my right foot to a stone, And "gainst a rock my back Stretch forth my arm, and sternly say 'Give me niv birthright back.'
DUTIES OF CHRISTIANS IN REGARD TO HUMAN LAWS. 1. When human laws are not inconsistent villi God's laws, it is plainly a Christian duty to obey them, and assist, when requisite, in their execution. But human laws are not always consistent with God's laws. They ought to be. Hence 2. So Christian ought to assist in making wicked laws. Equally plain is it, 3. That no Christian lias any moral right ia the sight of God, to assist in executing human laws which are opposed to God's laws. It was for doing this that the hosts of Pharaoh were drowned in the Red Sea. Again, 4. When human hwvs forbid those actions which God requires, no man ought to obey men rather than God. But, 5. It does not follow from all this that Christians have a light to oppose by physical force, the execution of unjust and wicked laws, or to countenance such resistance in others. Yet, C. It is the duty of Christian citizens, by every lawful and proper means, to assist in procuring the repeal of wicked laws; aho in every lawful manner and method to assist the oppressed in protecting themselves from outrages attempted to be committed upon them by a perversion of the form? contrary to the pirit of the laws. Emancipator. 4 The fool hath said in his heart, Tliere is no God.And surely, none but a fool could have such a wish, or come to stifcli an absurd conclusion! None but a fool could think that any thing could be made without a maker. None but a fool could think any thing could come into existence by chance. None but a fod could think the world could make itself, and keep itself in Icing. None but a fool could think that he always existed; and if he must acknowledge that he has begun to cxi-t, then he must be a fool to think that he is the cause of his own existence He rnu'l be a fA to think any event can rrrrt it. e'f, or produce itself, before it had any t i7-'.'Cl'T. lie must be n fj-jl to suppose the world, oi any thing else, can be moved, without a mover.

On the same evening, there were some frogs taken captive, whilst hopping about, apparently rather dissatisfied in finding them-
i selves confined within the jail walls. The
i ancients cannot recollect of such visiters ma-
king their appearance within the walls before. Mr. Montgomery (keeper of the prison) found some of the muscles outside of the wall. It is requested that some of the learned would cast some light upon this mystery, and solve to us how those emigrants left their watery home, sailed into the air, and landed inside the jail walls.
