Huge ./Inz'mal.—A correspondent in the Edin-

;Ba‘y,Company in i803, and travelling. with the
‘late’-Mr. Louis into the interior of North Ameri-
ca, he suddenly came upon an animal of immense
size. It appeared about 9.0 feet in height,- and
had a very unwieldy appearance. The large-
‘ ness of" the belly was enormous, and nearly touch-

ing the ground. Its colour was a dirty black.
Mr. Louis sawgits footsteps and dung : the latter
indicated ih-at its food was vegetables, and the
former gave a print nearly two feet square. The
hoof was not divided, but, from the impression,
iieemetl as if hollow in the middle. .

By ilie~Minut'cs of the Methodist Annual con-

gust, 1818, it appears that there has been an ac-
cession of 4,724 members to their communion.
The" aggregate‘n'umber of their membership,‘ at-
mounts ‘to 229,627.——-Tlieir itinerant preachers, .
748 ; and of their Local preachers, the probable
number exceeds 3000. In the city of Baltimore
only, there are more than 3.600 whites, and up-
wards of 1.900 blacks in the communion of the
Methodist Church. Their missiulis in Missis-
sippi Territory and state of Loiii.-iiiiia, have been
formed into Circuits, and constituted a Confer-
ence. They have twelve Itiiieraut preachers,
and 2000 members of their church in that infant
