. Now , Mr. Editor , the per-
son whom Mr. S. sty les Dr. Spani ard ,
never professed to cure disease, by iii nti-
lels , or .stn|) bleedin;; by charms ; and for
the truth of this slatein eni is willin g to
refer to several respectable (.j eiitlemen in
this town who have acquired the art of
him ; and who could at any time stop the
bleedin g of any person when the leason ,
philosop hy and learning of Mr. S. could
not. Several physicians who were as in-
credulous as Mr. S., have been obli ged to
acknowled ge. Dr. Spaniard's skill. The
venerable Dr. 1.) * * * * of Barnslable ,
was once an eye witness to his skill , and
acknowled ged his belief in it. Dr. Span-
iard when called to a pi*Con bus always
Iwen nlile t u effect :i c h i p A Would it be
wise not to emp loy one wK) has stopped
the bleeding of every per%n ho has at-
tended , because he has not tho learning
which Mr. S. has, to exp lain the cause,
and I'lVect of cveri/ thing which he has
seen and heard ? Now in my mind , be-
cause a person can say Ait /im;c hoc , and
bas attended a low medical lectures , it is
no reason wo should employ him on ac-
count of his superior learning.

Ztidiucul Light.—The appearance
which Astronomers havet termed Tmdia-
cal light , accompanied \h the Aurora
Horcalis , has several eveiings recentl y ,
presented a very beautiful Visp lav. It is
seen in the west immediatel y followin g
the twili ght , and consists of a luminous
cone of li ght , with its base resting on the
horizo n , and its vertex terminating neat
the head of the Whale, not far from tin:
planet Mars. The New Haven Adver-
tiser, says, '< It is nearl y two hundred
years since this phenomenon first attract-
ed the attention of astronomers , and it is
said to have been first accuratel y describ-
ed by Cassini , an ltulian astronomer , in
1683. It appeals usually at this season
of the year , or n lit tle later , or near the
autumnal equinox , at which periods the
ecli ptic is most inclined , or the nearest to
being perpendicular , to the horizon
Hence it is evidentl y connected with the
light of the sun , and some astronomers
have supposed it to be an extreme por-
tion of the Sun 's atmosp here, which they
conceive to extend qu\Je\> the earth.—
But La Plnce has shdwri that, on the
supposition that the San has an atmos-
phere, it cannot extend so far as the plan-
et Mercury anil must oftcourse fall much
short of reaching the eusth 5 and we are
at present destitute of an* rational or sat-
isfactory exp lunali on of this phenome-
non."
Lore a-la-mode.—A wid ow and wid-
ower were married in Franklin, in this
stute, 8th inst. The husband had buried
his wife in Franklin at the age of 53,
Nov. 21, 1830, and had eleven children
left ; and the wife had buried her lurs-
band , in Medway, at ihc age of 50, May
14 , 1830, having nine children left .—

A hill fu rther to provide for Revolution-
ary soldiers , was pawd to a third read-
ing by tho House of Representatives in
Congress, Feb. J f5. The National Intel-
li gencer remark s :— "our readers will ob-
serve with sati sfact ion , that the provis-
ions of the bill liHv e been extended also
to the surviving Militia of the Revolu-
tion—thus , for
'the first time, and after
various efforts, comprehending that niere-
torious class of 01,r Revolutionary de-
fenders in the bounty of their country. —
The hill also makes the relief which it
provides , go hack and lake effect from
the first of January, 1 ^0. The news
of this art of the " Representatives , will
cheer the limit of many a worn down
veleran , and send a l)"(in) of comfort in-
to the gloo m of th'.
' l ilt''- span that separ-
ates him from the grave."

The foll owing anecdote evninces the
hardihood ol the bears. Fish, which
forms their chief nourishment , and which
they procure for themselves from the riv-
ers, were last year unusually scarce. A
great famine consequentl y existed among
them , and instead of retiiiug to their dens,
they wander ed about the whole wint er
throug h, even in the streets of St. I't-te r
and St. I'aul. One of (hem finding tin
oute r g;ite of a house open , entered , and
the gate accKlenll y closed after him. —

ing his fore piiws round it , pressed it with
his whole strength against his breast to
crush it and burned himself of course, still
more and more. The horribl e growl
which rage and pain forced from him ,

soon despatched by shots from the wind-

been shi pped oil" for the United Stales.
Madame A. who was then engaged in
comp iling a descri ption Ra 'tsonne of Ca-
nova 's winks ,and was anxious for infor-
mation respecting the statue , req uested
that her learned guests would detail lo
her all they knew of him. This task Signor
* * * * * * (author of a book on Geogra-
phy and statistics ,) undertook to perform
and after some other equall y sage and
auth entic details , concluded bv informin g
her that Washington was killed in a du-
el with Burke. ' What said I in tin;

recollected the famous duel between
Hamilton and Col. Burr , whom it wascv-

with Washington and Burke !

Gboroe I.—On a j ourney to Hanover
the coach of George I. breaking down be
was obli ged to lake shelter in the next
country-house , whi ch belonged to a gen-
tleman attached to the Stuart family—
The king was shown the best room , where
in the most honorable plnce appeared a
portrait oflhe Pretender. The possessor
in great confusion was about to apologise
when the king stopped him with a good
naftired smile , « Upon my word , it is ve-
ry like the family."
Mr. P • • * * had killed a man very
basely, andjudtr c Dor mer, whose sister
he had married , went to the George I. to
petition for him allowing however , that
nothing could be urged in alleviation of
of his crime , but ilia"!\u; Im ped his majes-

speaker concluded her remarks by of-
