GENERAL SUMMARY. A southern editor (observes the Williamstown Advocate) says, that the reason why the dogs who barked so loudly at the late administration are silent now, is, they have each got a bone in his mouth-and no dog can bark when his mouth is full. We think the big dog Duff Green is an exception-il he cannot bark at his enemies, he will turn round and growl at his friends. Sharks.-Another shark, of the great white species, has recently been taken in the Mississippi in the neighborhood of Natchez, supposed to have been driven up that stream by the steam boats. An enormous bear, weighing 540 pounds, was killed in the town of Adams, Mase. on the 12th Sept. It is said there are several still remaining in that neighborhood. The Williamstown Advocate states that for several nights previous to the 23d, the Aurora Borealis had been/uncommonly brilliant. We noticed the appearance here, but not so bright as on many former occasions. Two daughters of a Mr. Adams were killed by lightning in Richmond, Va. on the 31st of August. A sister who was in the same bed with them was uninjured. Eagle Bank.-A notice appears in a New-Haven paper, that agreeably to an order of Court, there will be paid to the depositors in the Eagle Bank, on and after the 1st of October, fifty per cent of the original amount of their several deposits. Gen. Scott.-The Nashville Republican, in reference to the late decision of the President on the subject of brevet rank, remarks-" The DECISION is against the position assumed by Gen. Scott, and though the country will, of course, be deprived of the services of that officer, his friends will be compelled to acquiesce in the justice and necessity of the DECISION." The same paper adds, that "no other alternative is now left him," but to resign.-Niles. Green County Bank.-I will be perceived by the order of the Chancellor, that a dividend of Sixty-five cents on every dollar of the claims against this bank, presented to the receiver to the 1st inst. has been declared, and will be paid to the Catskill Bank.-Argus. A man by the name of Ivey Wilkins, of Currituck County, N.C., who has been in the habit of abusing his wife, murdered her last week. He made a coffin, and was about interring the body, when he was overtaken by a jury of inquest. He ran, and before he e would suffer himself to be taken, had one of his legs e nearly shot off.-ib. a Confirmations.-The Rt. Rev. Bishop Brownell, in n his recent visitation has administered the holy rite of d Confirmation in the following parishes, viz :-In the t parish of Salem, to 26 persons-Waterbury 26-Watertown 15-Woodbury 10-Washington 3-Newis Preston 12-New-Milford 8-Sharon 14-Kent 4e Salisbury 13-Milton 8-Northfield 6. In all 146 perg sons.-Episcopal Watchman.
