WOODS SET OS FlilE !)Y THE HEAT OF TiiE SL'N. On Tuesday the 5th of August, three men 1 cing at work nt hay in a meadow about one mile east of this village, about two o'clock, I M. they discovered, a few rods from ihem on a piece of barren upland which had been cleared some seven years since a small ?m:ke nrieing; the sun shining exce;i ely hot nt the time, which induced them to go and exvmire it. They found that the lire was just kindled and had not commenced Mazing, nor consumed any of the fuel in which it commenced, which was the remains of an old decayed hemlock log. It im mediately burst into a blaze and burned vividly, and when the writer of this saw it, mors than twenty hours after, it had consumed rnot cflhe rdd log and was then burning. From the locality of the place, and all the other circumstances th: lire cannot be accounted for at ail. but from
the direct influence of the r;i

Ohio Cakal The breaches which have re cently occurred in this canal near Cleveland have ben repaired, and boats fire now actively engaged in the transportation of merchandize, goods, &c. Wc learn ulso that the aqueduct at Newark, lias been rebuilt. The packet boats we are happy t hear, have been well patronized, since they commenced running between Cleveland and Massillon. It is said the proprietors contemplate running the line to Fortsmouth the whole extent cf the canal. Ohio Rriicc.
A treaty has been concluded, we understand (say? the Milledgeville Recorder) with a dele gation of the Cherokee Indians now at Washington, by which they cede their whole tcrrito ry embraced in the States cf Georgia, Tennessee, N". Carolina and Alabama. The terms arc said to be so liberal to the Indians, that little doubt is entertained of a speedy removal of all
the tribes west of the Missippi, in the event of
its ratification by the senate.
Pea.ch.et. There is probably no part of the country whore peaches are cultivated to the same extent as Shrewsbury New Jersey, ncarj Sandy Hook and Long Branch. Shrewsbury has got to be as famous for good peaches, as Newark formerly was for cider. The farmers have orchards from 2,000 to 10,000 peaeh trees. Mr. Jones of Shrewsbury carries this business to the greatest extent. He has now upwards of 30,000 peach trees on three farms. Last spring when his trees were in full blossom he
expected to bring to market 20,000 baskets of
peaches, but the frost of the 14lh May destroyed
nearly all the fruit and he now docs not expect
to get over 4000 baskets Irom the same trees. The soil round llockway is said to be equally
as favorable for peaches with that of Shrews
bury, and if some enterprising man would culti
vate them to some extent he might find a good
market for them at the Marine Pavilion. Aeic York Post. Wheeling, Aup. 28.

A Dandy's Brain. Not long ago, n couple cf fellows in New York, happening to take a fancy ton young lady, and one of them who was a dandy? sent the other a challenge, which was accepted ; and accordingly, they proceeded to the Jarscys to try the cold lead. The seconds loaded the pistols with nothing hut powder. The one who received the challenge put a rotten egg into his pocket; and when the pistols were discharged the dandy standing ready to tall from the fright, received the egg ph;mp in his forehead, which felled his spindle shanks quite to the ground, and lie applying both hands to his face, scraped off the'moving matter, and turning his eves mournfully towards heaven, exclaimed, " O God. sec my brains.'"'

Cruel Desertion. Ouc of the Health War
dens, about a week since, visiting a house in Anthony street, near Hudson, heard some moans in a back room, and on entering it, found a male child apparently about a year old, ly ing on a bit of rug, and far gone w ith the cholera. There was no other being in the house. Some of its tenants had besn known to die of the prevailing epidemic; but what had become of the rest, or to whom the child belonged, nobody knew. It was carried immediately to the Duane street Hospital, where, by the most assiduous attention, both of physician and nurse, it soon revived, and in a few days was well enough to be discharged. Instead of sending it to the Almshouse, the Mayor and some of the Aldermen, much to their credit, put it out with a good
woman to nurse, at their own private expense;
