This far 1 am assured, that the Sacks, and their neighbors, arc invited to view the country towards the head waters of the St. "cters river, and to remove their families there as a place of safety, before the Mow is struck. This place is certainly an impoftant point, and the government should have man here capable of counteracting English intrigue."

It is generally believed that this calamit) arisen from the distress and misery of the tU fife ring poor which excite the strongest feelings of compassion. LONOONOERRY Atl 26 We are extreme1- sorry to learn that several hew cases of the fever and small ave oc cured in the eity, and that a ffe er extension of the booths erected for the reception of" poor patients has I5fs i found necessary. This attercirCumtt mre is the more to be lamented from the low state n the funds for their relief For not withstanding the unexampled liberality of the citizens of Deny, t! rou rhout this calamitous season, the Immense sums subscribed by them, aie tin v exhausted nor is it surprising w en in the single article ot coffins For the poor one hundred 'pounds have been expended.

that in the battle on Lake Uhampifiry. i li itish commander Capt. Downie,ras killed by the a ind of a cannon ball Coiaimoddte Downie, according to tins arcount, was in the act of sjnufnating his men when a large shot Passed close to him. and hie instantly fell dead, giving not the smallest signs of life after the shot had passed him and upon examining his body, it is said that no visible injury had been sustained, i hat i.u concussion of the atmosphere could have produced so extraordinai y an effect is very questionable. We have frequently henrdftof similar phenomena's but we rather thusk that in ah cases the ball must touch tllfe body to deprive it of life, a cannon ball by merely grasing the cloathing & without breaking tne skin, we should think might cause a contusion the in intestines, or a rupture of an artery, from which death might be the immediate consequence, vet no wound be perceivable. However, it would he a gratification hear the opinions of 'he scientific upon these extraordinary facts which have so long puzzled the unlearned world.
