A GREAT ENJOYMMT.—The ;Single- ton Times gives the fidlowing account 'of a recent 'externimating expedition. to • thg haunt of the flying foxes at Black's Mountain.:—"Afterhobi trgiour horses with. a stirrup -leather. on some 'good grass on the top of the Mountain, we proceeded down its rather precipitous, sides, and soon our eyes were as much sqrprised as they were gladdened by the sight of many acres of trees literally black with foxes, 1Vlore than half of oar company commenced operations; iiut, after about a quarter of an hour's tremendous'slaughter, we had the mor- tification to see -that nearly every one of the flying foxes were on the wing and a wonderful sight it was. -.Tlfe bush was about a mile and a:half long, and the whole length and breadth of it was nothing but a vast cicud of fox9 wheeling and bobbing ',bobbing round' and reline. At the lowest calculation there eoutd not have been less than fifty thousand, and, I believe, if that number were doubled it would benear- er the truth. Our party had by this time got pretty well spread over the _ground, and for some time, whenever two or three foxes taied to fasten on a tree they quickly came to .griet, and some of the party brought themdown on the wing. This exciting state, of affairs lasted until a little past noon, when the call sounded of " Come to camp,' The call :was quickly comp1iPt1 with, and ample justice was done to the eatibles provided, After half an-horir's rest, away we started,. and now 'the fun grew fast and furiolis.' The foxes were completely tired with their un- usual - exertions of the morning, and would only fly from tree to.tree, and in many instances from one side of the tree to the other, andi all that the sportsman had to do was to load and Chamber's Journal gives ,the right of tbe national emble is, as fol. °Ws :.

A fal,se and absurd politeness, prevented their -ma- . king any reply.

I had cold chills every day, and severe night sweats everynight, and between the racking cough and great.sweating„ I was almost deprived of sleep, by: these miseries as -well as the loss of appetite, I was so i e- duced that 1 could hardly stand alone. 1 was uncler the care of a , physician for a length of time, ' and finding no relief, I tried different receipes, but all without any good effect. Squire Peterson of Bath,- re- commended me to use the Great Shoshonees Remedy; 1 proeured three bottles- at mice, with the Pills,. so soon as I commenced. using it I beg:an to get better, and when I had fin- ished this complement, the cough, expectora- tien of matter, pain about the lung, chills, - sweating, &c., left Me ; and by continuing its use I becaine strong and healthy.
