 W. Young, Esq. late of New York City, and until recently, an engineer and superintendent on the Erie and Northern canals, was drowned in the Hudson, near his residence at Sandy Hill, Washington County. The deceased left his dwelling in the forenoon with the intention of fishing from the bank of l the river. Not returning to dinner his family

 became alarmed for his safety an alarm that was much increased by finding his penknife, and few fish upon rock from which he had been fishing, and by discovering his hat some distance below in the river. His body was found & inferred on Sunday. It is believ- ed that he slipped from the rock. & the water being deep and rapid. & the bank steep & pre- cipitOus, he was not able to regain the shore. He had just received large and valuable property & had entered upon plans forits profitable improvement.

 Aaother.-Wex have just learned, says the Newberne Centioel, from friend. the most heart-rending occurrence that we recollect to have come within our knowledge. On Tues day night, the 18th instant, MT. Philip Smith of Pitt County, with his wife, left home on a visit to MT. Smiths mother, who resides hut short distance from him, leaving his five children at home, the eldest about 10 years and horrid to relate, on his return, he found the house consumed together with four ofthe children. One, the eldest, escaped. but so dreadfully burnt that her life was despaired of. It is not known in what way the fire ori- ginated.

 SOLAR MIcRoscoPE.-We visited Mr. NOl- ems exhibition of the Solar Microscope, at the corner of Seventh and Chesnut- streets, on Friday afternoon and found him honoured with large company of young ladies, to whom he was unfolding the wonders of nature to their great admiration-especially when they saw piece of very fine lace assume the ap- pearance of gratings, with bars OF inches in diameter.

 A very fine cambric needle appeared some- thing like post; and the dust from fig, as- sumed life and animation that were truly as- tOnishing. The forms that this dust took ap- peared like the fve-banded ermadillo of Peru from 10 to IS inches in length and they showed their strength and agility in a sharp contest for the chief seat on the point of a cambrick needle, for which they contended with almost edifying earnestness.

 At Orange Farm, two miles from Baltimore may be seen a pump worked by a small poin- ter dog. This pump is more than 50 feet in length. and the working of it was hitherto the fatiguing labor oftwo men. To the dog it is mere play. He at his pleasure, either walks. trots, or lies down. When only walking, there is sufficient discharge for dairy. The Wa ter never ceases to flow, but during the short time the dog may be lying down. From its thus flowing. it becomes very cold and sweet -and it is thence believed, that the water of most pumps would be thus greatly improved The principal benefit, however, held out to the community for this apparatus, is that every farmer may have. at the most convenient spot near his house. dairy as complete as if he had good spring on the identical spot. The water from the pump will, indeed, be more a. bundant, and generally much colder than wa ter from spring. The dog, to be kept in motion, requires not the attention ofany one; all that is necessary is occasionally to give him drink. The pointer has been selected only on account of his sprishtliness. This appara- tus costs $S5, and therefore, it is within the reach of every land-holder. It may, howev- er he erected by all in our country, and by many in our cities.-Am. Far.
