OtiKANo Ot; rANt.. —All Ournng Outang rtccnlly imported into Salem, in the barque CiOveinurKnilirott, w«s sold by auction a lew days Mince, by Mr. John Tyler, of Boston, for the sum of $lOOO. A correspondent ol tbo Boston Courier gives the following description of tins remarkable animal. 'l'liisanimal which is now in this city, is the only surviving oncost be thrce,wliich worn procured on the Island of Borneo, in Juno of 1887. They were obtained at the request of several physicians in tins country, who wished to [examine minutely tbe structure of the ani mal for the benefit of the medical science. It was the original intention to keep them till an opportunity occurred of sending them to America, but the owner being under tbe ne cessity ot taking the lour, brought them will) him, hoping that one or more might survive the passage for the gratification of tbe admir ers of nature. They were about one, two and three years old, the last a (niimlo, and lately from her native forests, and on that account an excellent subject for the purpose. The other two were vety docile, having been some time in the bands of tbe natives. They were fed at first on boiled rice, with occasionally pieces of sugar cane; hut, on observing their attention, especially that ol the wild one, was excited by the smell of snimal food, they wore tried, and found to be fond of it. It being supposed that they were exclusively eaters of vegetable food, they were allowed the bones from the table merely to salufy thern- At one time, however, some lowls were placed near, and ‘.bis same wild animal was almost Raving to get to them, and though a man was watching them with a lingo cane, she suc ceeded in biting of a parly ul the fowl, show ing her carnivorous propensity even when 'lie flesh was in its raw stale. Tin y had pieces of fish occasionally, and salt, but seemed hungry fur flesh, in this way they continued till December, when the wild ore began to ■droop, and about the middle of .famtary died, having eaten nothing fur two or more weeks, About six weeks alter, the next largest died in the same way. Their digestion had been bud for sum i lime; and their stomach and bowels became so irritable that they could not lake tbe blandest fluid except wall r, parogorie even being almost instantly rejected. The third was evidently going in the same way, when it was commenced giving him regular y a small bit of beef,o.liter boiled or raw. Ills digestion soon became good, bis bea lb im proved, and be endured tiie cold and stormy Weather on the coast, and is now apparently us hearty as a buck, and is becoming more mill more interesting every day. The description given of an animal of this kind m the Advertiser of the Btli hist., was doubtless correct, but I,hut was a full grown animal, and this is biff a child, and its notions , are childish. The female adopted it fur her i own, and treated it us such, usually sitting i with one arm around him, while he grarped i her with both his, and at night they slopt each I laying in the other’s arms. When any thing ( was seen hi Ins eyes nr no esi c would suck it e out, and with all the afibctiou of a mother I would kiss tho little one many limes a day. t The surviving animal, is now in this city, is \ about two years old, stands two (cot high when r erect, will drink from a cup, taking it by the e handle, will pull ofl'his coat at night, and nit- I king bis bod will cover himself with u blanket, e We is very gentle in his manners when pleas-. *i uni, though violent when enraged, and will often sit for hours mi the floor amusing him. [ sdlf with bis playthings. He is very alieelion - | ntc'to thost) who treat him kindly, but to col. t ored persons ho manifests the greatest con , tempt, and even hatred. He is very obscrv- , mg of tilings and actions, rs (onil of his cloth- i mg, especially if all llm colors arc gay. lie j coughs and sneezes, gapes and hiccoughs, , laughs and cries very iiiticii like a child about ( one yearn'd. He is acknowledged by many , In bo the greatest curiosity ever offered to the | ■public in this country. I A Domestic Tiiaokiit.—A tragedy of a | painful and appalling character, was recently perpetrated in the western purl of Alabama. Thu ( particulars, us recorded in the Lakeville Lx press, Sro somewhat to the following ofl'eet: A young lady of great personal attractions and daughter of a tanner in that neighborhood, bud totmed an ■acquaintance with a youtli of wild dissolute I’a 'bits, and her parents in consequence forbade him their house, and everted (liumselves to sever the ■connection; by providing “MissJnlia Maria” with a steady iniddleaged husband. Tbfr squire hav ing preformed the ceremony, “the happy couple” set elf for their homo on the borders Os the great .prairie, and lor six months tho ‘lady appeared • .perfectly reconciled to her lot, and exerted her self to love, honor and obey her liege lon]. One morning as the farmer was returning homo with his rillo ami dogs, he mol his former rival, who accounted tor his sudden appearance by saying ho bad just rotuiod from Now Orleans, where ho 'had made a rare speculation in Texiun lands, and that it was his intention to emigrate to his new property, so soon ns ho had completed some 'family airangomuiits. The unsuspicious husband invited his friend to pass a day or two with him, saying that although ho should lie obliged to go to Lakeville the next day, the other could amuse himself until his return by shooting the prairie hens, or fencing in a patch of corn, whichever ho pleased. Tho other consented, and returned to the house with the hospitable funner. Tho next ■day, the .young man renewed his intimacy with his former sweet heart, and finally succeeded in j exacting a promise that she would the next i morning run away with him. Tho husband, in the mean lime, had gone on a tour to the prairies I in search of game, and was not expected to return ] for several days. He had his misgivings ho<V j over; and returning homo late at night he was a ; horrified witness ul his own dishonour, With | out attempting to disturb the guilty pair, he fired ] his house in three diilerent places, the flames 1 creeping through the upper stories, and encircling | the root ol bis once happy home. The wretched i Woman & her paramour were aroused from their adulterous dreams try the flames, and rushed to ! the windows to save themselves by leaping out, ■ but below stood live infuriated husband with bis j idle, and the moment the easement was opened 1 lie fired with unerring aim, and they froth fell ! amid the burning ruins.— /‘/tit.

The Senate, to-day, was engaged chiefly with Mr. W r.nsTEu’s Joint Resolution, annulling the Treasury Specie Circular of July, 1836, and prohibiting any future orders of a similar char acter. Mr. Wehsteh spoke at length in favor of the measure, and in reply to the objections urged by Mr. Cai.uoun, and others. Ho contended that the abolition of the Treasury Circular was de manded by tho necessities of the country, and because it was wholly unconstitutional. Its continuance would be prejudicial to the efforts of the banks in the East and West to resume specie payments. Injurious—as diminishing the ability of the banks to give accommodations to the public and as tending to keep a large parly in a stale op agitation and excitement. The abolition of this order would bring the country back to where it was under the Joint Re solutions of 1810. He gave a most interesting account of the history of that famous resolution, and showed that it was regarded by every body, at the lime, as imperative on the Collectors to receive the notes of specie paying banks. He maintained that the resolution now before the Sena’e would do soma good, but that other bene ficial measures would be still wanting, and he would lake an early opportunity of presenting to • Congress some other proposifion for the relief.of ’ tho country, and the legulation of its financial concerns.

Ellis, with a small number of men discoveied a party of Indians and charged and tired on them, The lire was returned by the Indians. The detachment im mediately concentrated, and a sharp and spirited action tallowed, which lasted about five minutes The horse were then ordered behind a sink hole, and the detachment, with the exception of a small guard which was left with the horses, charged the hammock in good order and great spirit amid a gallihg tire from the Indians. On their entering the hammock the Indians gave back; and after about ten minutes the detachment returned in good order. An ambuscade was then made in a pond, but before it was left the Indians fired on the detachment. The fire was returned by the volunteers, who charged into the hammock and continued there about thirty minutes, during which time a plase was selected in the pond for « fortification, in case we should bo compelled to remain on the ground all night. The place select ed seemed to have been formed by nature for the purpose. The detachment then returned and collected all the articles that had been dropped by them; rode over the island and battle gtound twice; and then formed and marched onlin order. Our force and that of the Indians was neady equal. None of the whites killed or wounded. Captain EllU’s horse was severely wounded. Five Indians killed or wounded.
