and future greatness ot our country, the mind pauses with delight on every suggestion, that is calculated to nourish so agreeable a train of reflection. We therefore, indulge ourselves, without constraint, in collecting, as we go along, every maU'iia! confirmatory of our hopes and wishes. In that respect the opinion ol foreign writers, unbiassed by prejudice in favor of the nation, but whose prejudices should rather be the other way, is not wholly uninteresting.

number, as well as the corroborative

testimony of nearly a hundred differ

sec them. The following is a brief statement as it occurred : i

On Wednesday last, the 19th inst. I

at the house of Silas Preston, in Plum

stead township, Bucks county, a considerable noise va heard in the chimney. The female part of the family

became alarmed and sent for Mr. P

.t was ascertained that the noise was occasioned by the entrance of an iifl numerable number of chimney birds into the chimney, in which probably no fire had been made for 4fccral years Mr. Preston, accojnnanietVhy one or two persons, repamRi to the roof of the house, and, bv forcing waggon covers down the chimney, propel

led them into the room, where they were killed to the number of four th K.sar.d tr.'o hundred and thirty What adds to the singularity of the the above fact is, that they vcre apparently all old birds, and appeared to fnfm a Compleat chain in the chimney, of an extraordinary thickness, and reaching nearly from the top to the bottom. The birds are yet isiblc in an adjoining field. Impossible as it at first seems to many, all now appear to be satisfied of its correctness, and more than 5oo persons of rcspectabilty are ready and willing to qualify to the fact. fJo?. s'o, ' r.
