•'! ON THE DISAPPEARANCE 9F A FEMALE Ca J ' -~- They missed her when:the evening dew Was wet o'er lawn attd They missed her when the tvviliiiht drew Its veil o'er earth and sea! But every voice of her is mute,—. No traces of her little foot, So light, the flowers might scarcely feel Her path—her partihg steps reveal! Could heart and hand all ruthless be, To bum so fair a thing? To pluck the blossom From the tree, And leave it withering? In woe and wandering lives she still? The voices of the rock and bill, Grove, glen, and cavern of the main. Have called on her—but called In vain ! a mother's tears ne'er pass away, Iler sorrows neer depart; Her dream by night—her thought by day, This lost one of her heart ! No balm can sooth the deep despair, That dirells like deadly nightshade there ; Till from her burning brain at last, Shall death or madness blot the past ! CAPIA GIL OF THE UNITED SPATES. This immense pile covers an extent of one and a half acres and 1826 feet. Its length of front is 350 feet ; the depth of us wings 120 feet ; the projection of the centre, including steps,6s feet ; west projection 83 feet, making the whole depth of the centre 268 feet. The height of the wings to the top of the centre dome, 140 feet. The greatest length of the Representatives' r oom in the south wing, is 95 feet; its greatest height is 60 feet—greatest length of the Senate Chamber in the north ss mg, 74 feet ; greatest height 42 feet. The great central room, whose top is the dome, is 96 feet in diameter, and 96 feet high ; the library room is 92 by 34 feet, and 36 feet high. In the Capitol likewise are a variety of rooms for committees and officers connected with the two branches of the national legislature; on the lower floor is a large room where the Supreme Court of the United States hold its Sessions. The grounds of the Capitol are inclosed within an iron railing, and embrace more than 20 acres. Now that the work on the Capitol is not completed, these grounds present the uncouth appear ance of temporary sheds and buildings in their rough state, and rubbish, stones, and other materials for building.—Washington Paper. . g The Members for Devizes have each given 1,0001. towards the paving and improving of that town. Friday se'nnight, Captain Jon Rona arrived at Camborne, flow Mexico, where he had gone to super intend the mining operations recently commenced there. Lately, an apple of the Hawthornden species was pulled in the school garden of the parish of Craig, near Edinburgh; which weighed 14- oz. avoirdupoise, and gitthed sixteen inches. A family near Petersfield, having been several times amused of late in the evening with fine chromatic runs on the wires of a piano when closely shut, at length di:. covered that a female mouse with her progeny had made their entrance at the holes of the pedal, and taken up their abode under the sounding-board. The following is a simple and efficacious remedy for the bite of a mad dog; cat, snake, &c.—The wound must be instantly washed with common salt and water : take inwardly a table-spoonful of salt in a glass of water, and apply a poultice of wet salt to the wend : make a fresh application of the same every two hours, three or four times. In the year 1803 two original letters of SHAXSPEARR were found among the Dorset papers, which the late amiable Dochess of Donset signified her intention of depositing at tle British Museum ; and shortly after a third letter was discovered in the same archives. Tuesday se'nnight, a Coroner's Inquest was held at the Leopard public house, Weaman-street, on view of the body of Isaac Weston, a youth about twelve years of age. On Sunday afternoon, the deceased, with three other boys, about his own age, went into a stable in a court in Coleshill-street, and commenced some dramatic spectacle. The hero of the piece, however, could not sustain his character with any credit without some soli of weapon, and the party commenced a - search about the stable, in the hope of Ending something that would answer the purpose. Unfortunately their search proved too successful, for in a corner, deposited under some bags, they found a gun. Having become possessed of the weapon, it was agreed that each one should have it in his turn, while the others were to stand at a short distance and be fired at. It fell to a youth, named Nicholls, about fourteen years of age, to have the first fire. Unfortunately the gun was leaded and went off, and the contents entering the left eye of the deceased, lodged in his head ; and the Jury, after a short consul tation, returned a verdict of Accidental Death. W I ME3.—The value of the wine grown in the Medoc this year, is estimated at about thirty aiillions of francs ; 3350 franc: per tun is said to be the price at which the wine of the estate of Larose has been sold. In the Cote d'Or, the weather has been very favourable; the wine is said to be excel' , nr, but not in great qtiantity. The favour which sparkling Burgundy has found with the wine-drinking public has led to a large increase of this delicious eine. Above 800,000 bottles, it is said, made of the choicest grape, gathered with great care, will be made this year. BOLD COUP-DE-MAIN.—The great Comle speaking of the intrepidity of soldiers, says, that laying be lure a place that had a palisado to be burnt, lie pro mised fifty louis to any oac who should carry it by a coup-dc-main. The danger was so apparent, that the reward did not tempt any one. " Sir," said a soldier more courageous than the rest, 44 I will relinquish the fifty,louis that you promise, if your Highness will make me serjeant of my company:" The Prince, pleased with the generosity of the soldier, who preferred ho nour to money, pla , mised him both. Animated by the reward that awaited his return, he resolved to gain it, or die a glorious death. He took a flambeaux, descended into the ditch, reached the palisado, and set it on fire in the midst of a shower of musketry, by which he was slightly wounded. All the army witnesses of this ac tion 'sting his return, cheered him, and heaped on him loud praises; when he perceived' that he had lost one of his pistols. A soldier offered him others. " No," said he, 44 I will new be reproached that these rascals got my pistol." He went to the ditch again; exposed himself to a hundred discharges of musketry ; regained his pistol, and returned in safety.—rerck Anecdotes of- Enterprise. LEET JURIES. Yesterday the RECORDIM of London, as Steward of the several Manors within the Borough of Southwark,' together with the High Bailiff, attended by the several officers, held three Courts Leet for the purpose of re ceiving presentments, and swearing in fresh Juties. In the course of his charge to the Jury, the Its-- CORDER remarked, that an important part of their duty was to inquire as to the offence of using fahe weights and measures. He had observed, with great pain, that in the three manors contained within the Borough of Southwark, there were no less than 120 persons pre• sented as having been guilty of that most serious offence. He perceived that in many cases the amerce. ments were but small; but he hoped in future, if the offence were persisted in, that the Jury would regard it with a severe eye, and inflict such penalties as uctild prevent its being worth the patties' while to continue the comm'ssion of it. He was glad to see that in one instance they had gone as far in their amercements as five pounds, and he would assure them that the offence was not only presentable at the Leet, but was also in dictable at the Sessions, and punishable by fine or im prisonment, or both ; and he considered it his duty to declare, that in the event of any case being brought before the Borough Session, and found well proved by a Jury, he, as Judge, was determined to-inflict a sen tence of both fine and imprisonment to a very consider able extent: for he felt, - that although t' tie rich and opulent it might not be a matter of considerable im portance, yet to the poor man, the extent of whose income did not amount to more than 10s. 15s. or 20s. per week, and who had a large family to support, it was a very serious evil. It was subjecting him to a' tar by a party who had no right to levy it—a tax against all law and humanity, and founded upon that worst of passions which a human being can cherish— an avaricious desire of gain, unmindful of the interests, the welfare, or comfort of their neighbours In the evening of Saturday sennight a man dressed as a sailor, with red trowsers, decoyed two little boys (the eldest about six years old), with the promise of money and gingerbread, from the Quay, Bristol, to the field on Kingsdown, leading from Cotham Lodge to Redland Cowl, where lie stripped them a their clothes, and left them entirely naked. Shame at their nakedness prevented the poor little fellows from leaving the spot, though at no great distance from Mr. Creed s turnpike and milk-house ; and the eldest covered his companion and himself for the night with the waste fodder he could feel around them under a hedge. There they were discovered on the Sunday morning. STATE OP Cats ca.—lt is gratifying to record that the Autumn Circuit of the Justiciary Court in Scotland, has been altogether bloodless ; no csiminal having been sen. tented to die. Their Lordships, in almost every instance, congratulated the Sheriffs on the lightness of the calen dars. At Jedburgh there was only one case for trial ;at Dumfries two; Ayr, six; Inverary, five; Inverness, eight; Aberdeen, 10 ; Perth, 14; Stirling, 11 ; Glasgow, 42; Total, 99. A majority of the cases tried at Inve rary and Inverness were accusations of deforcement of revenue officers; and, at all the Courts, a great propor tion of the crimes libelled were trivial assaults, ana consequently visited with - lenient punishment. These are conclusive proofs of the viAilance of the local Ma gistracy, and the general prosperity cl the country. At the funeral ceremony performed a few days back at Ruel, whither the remains of the Empress JOSEPHINE had been transferred, and deposited in a monument raised by her children, the following cir cumstance took placer—At the close of the ceremonies, an ex-Officer of Cavalry. and a Knight of the Legion of Honour, clad in deep mourning, advanced towards the tomb, holding in his hand a copy of the Memoires Historiques sur I' Imperatrice Josephine, splendidly bound in white satin. Ile stated, that Mademoicelle LENORMAND (the famous fortuneteller), the author of the work, had charged him to place upon the monu ment the copy of the Ztlemoires, but that he had been refused permission to do so by the Mayor of Ruel and die Intendant ot Malmaison, these functionaries telling him that they had bcen expressly commanded not to allow anything to appear upon the monument but the inscription contained in the Rayal Ordonnance. The Church plate belonging 'o the parish of Gars don, near Malmesbury, and which consists of a silver (gallon) flagon, two silver (quart) chalices, and a silver salver, was for many years kept in a box deposited in a lumber closet in an old mansion. There was an idle tale told in the village, that a ghost had formerly been laid in the box. This story was, perhaps, as useful as a double lock, since a superstitious dread of disturbing the ghost, effectually deterred many horn indulging their curiosity, by scrutinizing the contents of die boa. Having understood, from an old man, that many years back it was reported there was some communion plate at the great house, the Clergyman took an opportunity to make inquiry about it. To the utter surprise of the people of the house, on opening the lid of the box (for the first time, perhaps, ior upwards of a century), in-' stead of see lig a phost jump out, this valuable service of tarnished plate presented itself ; and it was imme diately taken to the vicarage.hou.e. SUDDEN DCATlL—Tuesday afternoon, a porter, in the.employ of Mr. Grt.mo az. tea.dealer, in St Swithin's lane, Cannon-street, passing the end of Finch-lane, Threadneedle -street, carrying a chest of tea, fell down, and expired. GannicK.—The following opinion of the histrionic powers of GanfticK is extracted from the Letters of the Hon. HORACE WALPuLE to Lord HERTFORD. It is an amusing instance of the value of noble criticism. The same noble critic saw no merit in the inimitable Ho- SHAKSPEARE is not more admired for writing his plays, than GARRICK for acting them. I think him a very good and very various player, but several have pleased me more, though I allow, not in so many Farts. QUIN, in Falstiff, was as excellent as GARRICK in Lear—Old JOHNSON far more natural in everything he attempted, Mrs. PORTER and your DUMESNIL surpassed him in passionate tragedy ; Cis me and O'BrtzEss were what GARRICK could never reach— coxcombs and men of fashion. Mrs. CLIVE is at least as perfect in lo %, comedy ; and yet to me. Hanger was the part that suited GARRICK the best of all he ever performed. He was a poor Lothario, ridiculous Othello, inferior to QUIN in Sir John Brute and Alacheih, and to Claim in linos; and a woful Lord Hastings and Lord i wonky. Ind:ed, hip Bayes was original, but not tie true part. Cm= was the burlesque of a great poet, as the part was designed, but GARRICK Male it a garretteer. The town did not like him in Hotspur, and yet I don't know whether he did not succeed in it beyond all the rest. Sir CHARLES WILLIAMS and Lord HOLLAND thoaght so too, and they were no bad judges." ~:, POLICE IN 1 ELLIGEA CE. MANSION HOUSE. Thomas Hors, a half.pay Lieutenant in the Navy; was fully committed fur stealing five silver spoons and a decanter from the Blue Anchor Tavern, St, Mary-at-llill. Two silver spoons being missed after his firs: visit, the waiter stopped him upon his making a second some hours after, just as be was leaving the house, and the property was found on him. While lie was in custody he wrote to his" Dear Louisa," to conic and assist him in escaping, also wrote a form of discharge, leaving a blank fur the Magistrate's name.— The folloning is a copy 4f the letter : " My dearest Louisa will, I am sure, enter into my feelings when I relate the melancholy and cruel circumstance which has befallen me, namely, the imprisonment of my person in Giltspur street, near Smithfield, where I am detained upon a charge of felony—a very serious charge, I assure you, and which will be at• tended with very serious consequences, 111 do not contrive some plan to effect my rescue, which I do nut think I shall have much difficulty in procuring, if you will render me your kind and power ful assistance, which I will undertake to advise with you when I have again the pleasure of seeing you. I have many plans in view, all of which I will acquaint you with, when you will be able to adopt the one you suppose to be the best, or must likely to succeed. Something nest be immediately done, or my fate will be hard in deed. Nothing fear than the gibbet will be my lot, which will in deed be disgraceful in the extreme." Oliver, the clerk in the Sun Fire Office, was alio committed for trial. A %Ir. Haslam proved the paying him a premium, which had not been brought to account. GUILDHALL. A little girl made a complaint against Mr. Robinson, a tilt mer chant, that she had been unjustly accused of stealing silk, and sent home, with the assurance that Mr. Robinson would send for her back. The girl, it seems, was indentured for two years, and her employers neither substantiating their charge, nor requiring a re newal of her services, she applied for her wages during her ab sence, which the Magistrate awarded her (51. 195.) A respectable•looking man, of the name of Edward Owen, ap peared to answer the following complaint of Mr. Jones, a tailor, residing near Salisbury-squarer—On Sunday fortnight, Mr. Jones went into a public-house, in Fket-street, where a knot of Welch men were disputing who could speak their native language most accurately. Mr. Jones mingled with the disputants, and, placing a sovereign on the top of a cask, offered to bet that he would speak Welch better than a Gentleman opposite. Mr. Owen accepted the bet, and placed what was supposed to be his piece of money in the stakeholder's bands, who did not examine them. The wager was, however, withdrawn, and the money was returned ; but when Mr. Jones examined his money, he found that, instead of the sovereign, a farthing had been returned. Both parties declared they had placed sovereigns down for the bet ; and the Alderman, being un able to decide between them, dismissed the case. BOW-STREET. A near blind man named Jones, charged a man and his wife, named Eweeney, with a brutal assault. Sweeney had invited Jones to drink with him, and ordered a gallon of porter to be sent to his lodgings, and insisted upon Jones paying for it. This the poor fel low was usable to do, when the prisoners threw him down stairs and broke four of his ribs. Sweeney was ordered to find bail. A Mr. whose name, from certain family reasons, we abstain from mentioning, gave the following information yesterday respecting an attempt to commit a robbery on him by a person un known. On Saturday last, being at Hungerford, on this side Marl borough, he dined and supped at the Three Swans Inn, with a per son of a military appearance, with whom be was unacquainted. That person slept in the adjoining room to his. The next morning, after breakfast, they went to take a walk in the neighbourhood of the town. They had proceeded some distance, when they turned down a lane; they bad not walked many yards, when the new friend pulled out a pistol and said," Deliver, Sir." He immediately ran away, and the assailant followed him. At length he perceived that be was no longer pursued, and saw the person running away across the fields. When he returned to Hungerford, he learned that the person had conic there on horseback, and left the horse in the stable. He had since learned that he dined that same after noon at the Bear, at Wantage, a town about fifteen miles from Hungerford. Two Gentlemen had seen him at Newbury, on the preceding Tuesday, No trace has, however, been found of him. lie is six fe.•t high, a light complexion, a singularly remarkable Rompn nose, thin and long. Andrew Butler was charged with beating his wife, and blacking her eyeii. The fellow did not deny the charge, but said, in defence, that he only intended to break one of her arms, and not injure her eyes I Mr. Offiey's cellarman, aeries Tizndy, his wife, and Amy Walton. were brought up for re-examination. Tandy's wife was discharged, it being considered that she acted under the influence of her hus band. Tandy and Watson were fully commined. HATTON-GARDEN. A curious instance of a temporizing conscience took place before the Magistrate at this Offic.:. A respectably dressed female bad applied to make some affidavit, necessary for the purpose of receiv ing a pension. The oath was read over to her, when she returned the book,without kissing it,saying,that on second thoughts she would rather not take the oath just new, as she was its thefansily way ! MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Sarah Lapis was brought up yesterday, by Mr. Henry Mint% on a charge of being found concealed in his cellar the preceding night. Mr. Prior, who occupies the principal part of the house, No. GS, Great George-streetdtad, about a fortnight ego, taken into his service a girl newly arrived from the country, and entirely ignorant of town. With this girl the prisoner, under the pretext of carrying about pincushions for sale, had connived to form an acquaintance. From selling pincushions she gradually began to intimate her skill in the mysteries of fortune•telling, and to represent herself as a " sunning woman," who could lift up the veil front the obscurest events of futurity. Our young maiden, over whose head some sixteen or seventeen summers may have shed their sunshine, yield ing to the impulse , of that sovereign attribute of the fair daughters of Eve, " Which for an apple damacd mankind," consented to introduce the wise woman Into the kitchen. Aceord ing to pre-agreement, she took with her a pack of " the d—l's plc tufts," so bethumbed and blackened, that the kings and queens and knaves. with all their et menu of aces and deuces, bad ceased to have any vidble distinction. They had completed the charm, and the " coming events . ' of the young maid's life had been shadowed forth, not in "dim and distant perspective," not in ob sciire and symbolic intimations, but in the visible and tangible form of a promised sweetheart; and the book of fate was scarcely closed when the knocker announced " master's presence." Our enchan t instantly charmed herself into the cellar, whither, in conic. quence of some previous warning, she was pursued by Mr. Prior. When called on for her defence, she bemm'd and he'd, and wept, and entreated, and protested, but to no purpose:—" I shall con vict you," said Mr. Res, the Sitting Magistrate, "of going about ass rogue and vagabond, pretending and professing to practice the art and mystery of telling fortunes." Sbe was accordingly com mitted to the House of Correction, to be kept to bard labour for two months. , MARY-LA-BONNE: Ad Mope, a person in the employ of Mr.Grice, a stable-keeper, in Crawford-mews,York-street, Montagu-square, was charged with committing a most desperate assault on a man named Thos. Grice. Green's head was cut in a dreadful manner, and his apparel was covered with blood. He stated, that on Tuesday afternoon he went to Mr. Grice's stable-yard by his order, and asked If he was at home? The prisoner, who had entertained ill feelings towards him for some time, in consequence of his taking part of Mr. Green's work from him, replied very abusively, and applied an odious epi thet to him. He went up to the prisoner and put his hand against him, and slightly pushed him, when the prisoner struck him on the face with his curry-comb, and a second blow on the back of his bead, which split his skull, and laid him prostrate. and he verily be lieved he should have been murdered, had not his wife come up to his assistance. Mrs. Green corroborated her husband's evidence ; she called to the prisoner when he struck her husband with the curry-comb, " You wretch, why don't you stand up like a man, and light with your fists, and not with murderous instramnutsr and he replied, " Curse you, I'll serve you the same." Thomas Sharp, a fellow-workman of the prisoner, was caned, to prove that Green committed the itrit assault, but his evidence was not credited by the Magistrate, who ordered the prisoner to be committed till he found bail, himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each. A man, named Redman, was bed forty shillings, for having seven cwt. of lead in his palmation, of which he coadd give no satisfactory account, and the lead was forfeited. UNION.HALL. A respectable looking man, named Williams Weeks, holding a cow. Bdential situation in the house of Messrs. White and Grsenwell, linen-drapers, of Blackfrian-road, was charged with robbing his employers to a considerable amount. A great part of the property stolen by the prisoner, and iubsequently recovered by the exertions of the Police, was produced before the Magistrates. Mr. Hall stated, that subsequent to the prisoner% apped,,, he repaired to his house in Bennet.street, Bla c kf r i aes, ard ''A. searching the premises be discovered the articles en sv tn nerated u;ell r q m. produced, all of which were identified by M r.

At this stage of the investigation Mr: Greenwell requestetl the Magistrate would postpone the case, in order to have th e tendance of a most material witness, who was now out of town, ;5( whose evidence against the prisoner was indispensable. The Magistrate consented to the suggestion, and the prizes, was accordingly remanded. The amount Of the property stolen was stated to be between fa, and five hundred pounds. WORSHIP-STREET. 'lwo men, in the employ of the Independent G as Com m ,. were charged by the Imperial Gas Company with wilfully yogi:, ten cubic feet of their gas. It appeared that the I n 4 spen d ent Company had obtained the contract for applyi ng Shor:Qi:6 lately held by the Imperial; and that in laying d own their ii„; the defendants had loosened the Imperial Gas Conipatly's pi pet, and wasted the ten cubic feet of gas, which wa s va l ue d as ort peony and a fraction. The Imperial Company said, that wCen carburetted hydrogen gas was mixed with a certai n p ort i on of a;. mospheric air, it became an explo.ive substance, an d was rendertd very dangerous. Thc Independent Gas Company contet.ded, that the waste was not wilful.—The M agi4tr.tte said, it was prorel that there had been a waste of gas, and he fined the defendants Notice of appeal was given. TOWN-HAL T. A L John Martin was brought up from the Borough Compter to tee. der bail, under a sentence of the Court of Sessions, for pas‘i cg b ad money as a common utterer. The prisoner had been sentenced is one year's imprisonment, which had expired, and to find surnies for two years afterwards; that now offered being insuffidert, h e was remanded, after beseeching the mercy of the Alagistrale, wh o informed him that all power of dispensing with the least pa llo r /us sentence was denied him; and that his only resource in dziatg t oi finding efficient bail, was application to the Secretary of State: the wretched man retired in complete dismay.

A well-known character, samed John Brown, tut semmonly called ()Id Sabbath, who had frequented the neighbourhood of Melksham, for the last 7o years, died at Broughton Gifford, near that town, a few days since. This eccentric man's appearance constantly be. spoke the most abject poverty ; he regularly visited the adjoining villages as an object for the compassion of the charitable, and for many years before his death received parochial relief. There have been found secreted in the miserable hut which he inhabited, 1441. in money, 120 shirts, 130 handkerchiefs, ‘,.2 pat of new shoes, a quantity of old ones, and an im Dense collection of other articles of wearing apparel, kitchen utensils, old silver coin, forty table and teaspoons, a silver watch, four large bigs full of meat in a stite of putrefaction, more than two bushels full of pieces of cheese, Om The property was divided among ten re. phew, and nieces. MEETING OF THE Rev. MR. TRIM'S FRIENDS.— Thursday evening a numerous and highly respec•abit meeting of the friends of the Rev. Mr. Timm was held is the large room, at the Golden Lion Inn, Liverpool. M. HARDIE having been called to tl.e chair, that Gentle. man, in a short, but neat speech, stated the object ofthe meeting—viz. to take into consideration the recent set• tence of deposition passed by the Presbytery of Glms• gow against their worthy Clergyman, the Rev. ltfr. 'feint, and what steps were necessary to be taken by his friends in consequence thereof. A number of reso lutions were then proposed, and unanimously agreed to, stating that it was the opinion of the meeting that the sentence of the Presbytery of Glasgow was glaringly and manifestly unjust ; expressing their high estem and regard for the Rev. Mr. Twos, as; an able and faithful Minister of the Gospel ; their decided and us' qualified approbation of the mild, dignified, andChns• tian conduct eakibited by him at the bar of the Presby tery of Glasguw ; their determination to withdraw froin the Rodney-street congregation, not from any ill will which they bore towards those who originated the pro ceedings against the Rev. Mr. Tams, but from a desire to promote the glory of GOD and the best interests of their immortal souls ; and also their determination N form themselves into a dist;nct congregation, under the Ministry of the Rev. Mr. THOM, and chat, in the mean time, the Music-hall, in 80ld -street, should be taken s$ a temporary place of worship. The Rev. Mr. Thou was present on the occasion, and delivered a very ( r eeling and eloquent address to the meeting. Mr. Samuel. M'Cuta.ecer, and several other Gentlemen, also addressed the meeting on occasion of proposing the various resolutions. The thanks of the meeting having been voted to Mr. HARDIE, for his very able conduct in the chair, it broke up a little after nine o'clock. DIED. At London. on the Ist inst. atter a long period of suffering fros a severe disease, Mr. Thomas Martin, aged 27. He was a °stiller Dumfries, and for many years was principal compositor in de Journal Office, the Newspaper issued from which he at one tine solely conducted for a considerable period, not less to his own flour than to the satisfaction of its late Proprietor. His dispositko were of the most generous and amiable kind ; his character acas and upright ; and his conduct towards his aged mother, who is id inconsolable by his loss, was in the last degree dutiful and alio tionate. The announcement of his death in Dumfries and neii bourhood, has called forth a feeling of sympathy and reiret !Midis not less deep than general; for, among the large circle of his sC quaintances, not one, we presume, could be found who did not re gard him with a warmer interest than, in common language, tire term YRllOlllllllr is meant to express.—Dumfries Courier.
