It will be recollected, that cap
tain Smith, dare of the navy (de
ceased) went to the Havana about
the conclusion of the war, with
the hope of recovering his health.
While there, a part of the British
force which had been against
New-Orleans, arrived at that
port. Several of the officers put
up at the house where captain j
Smith boarded, among whom Was I
a colonel who, not knowing him,
and probably taking him for one;
of their countrymen, one day de* j
scribed to him, in the most ter- j
Able terms, the ferocity of the I
jtCtnttueftians . u Why sir,” said he
they are absolute murderers!

If we had been squirrels, and
sometimes they seemed ready to j

ded he, while his blood seemed |
to curdle in his veins at the idea):

Smith humored the colonel to the ;

Sated him oti the escape he had

Hhey certainly would have roasted!

70 think was likely eUoiigh! But
7* fter a good deal of conversation
vn the subjeet of the defenders of
INew*Orleans, the colonel was not
a little surprised when eaptain
£?mith looked him fairly in the
iace, said, with animation—
ui am proud, sir, to declare my
self a fellow-citizen of those you
IVtve so much abused. Ido know

My name is Smith, a captain in
the navy of the United States, ab

house.” On which he turned on
his heel and left the colonel, not
a little miserable that he could
not congratulate himself on esca
ping a roastingby the Pcntucklans
without actually receiving one in
a neutral port, and from that time
forward he kept his thoughts -to

Singular Case . —The follow
ing singular Case, is copied from
a London paper of the 6th of A
pril last.
“ A gardener’s wife at Vierma,
was at the age of 24 years, seiz
ed by a violent head-ache, which ;
continued for several years, and
drove her almost to despair.—-
She was at last advised to take
SNUFF as a remedy, in order
to promote a discharg of mucus.
Happening to have some assakc
tida in the house, she mixed it
with the snuff, on the supposition
that it might increase the effect.
The consequence was, that a
worm was discharged from the |
nostriL, similar in appearance to
the common grub. This cir-j
cumstance induced he? to contin
ue to use the mixture of assafe
tida and snuff. Eight more
worms Were discharged. In short, j
by the use of the remedy, 481
worms in all were discharged, J
the head-ache was completely re- j
moved. Dr. Frank, who relates j
the case, supposes that the!
Worms had been lodged in the;
frontal sinus.”

Dueling Anecdote:*--A Few \
years ago a gentleman of a south-1
ren bar, (Mr. D.) having given
some case of offence to a brother
lawyer, received a chaknge from
Mr. T. whom he had insulted.
D- accepted the chalenge, but
having come upon the appointed
ground unorepared for a bloody
termination of the quarrel, T. re
quired a written acknowledgment i
of his error and a suitable apolo
gy which D. very readily gave.
These papers Were published
throughout the country; and a
friend of D. meeting him soon af
terwards, enquired why he had k>
foolishly, so basely consented to
such a public exposure of hi! con
cession; declaring that life was
not worth having on sufch terms*
