The combatants were athletic men, about five feet ten in nature t but the navigator was rather the favourite. The contest was one which could afford but little gratification to thole who bad been accuftomed to theta fort of exhibitions about town, as afcientific man in the art would have had many points in his favour. The competitors were untaught, and the iffue of the eonteft depended on fuperior Itrength. They flood to one another, and hit round, until one was fairly knocked down. when they commenced the next round, without allowing any time. The eonteft was alternately in favour 4 1 each of the combatants for about half an hour, which was equal to a foist Ifght amongii firfi raters, of art. hour and a halt. Atter that time the Coachman was unable to (land above one hit in the round, and in three more rounds the navigator was declared the vigor. They were both carried off the ground. ClittN.

He inereated her to reveal the cede of her °mattock, and then, no doubt, to conceal her own guilt; the affeeted to fay, that his behaviour was unkind, and that fie had rea fon to furpeft his fidelity. He endeavoured, by every foothiog attention, and by increafed kindnefs, to con vince her of her forming an erroneous opinion, and had apparently fucceeded, for on the morning of the, 113th of April, when he left home, they parted w:th marks of more than ufual kindnefs ; hut it In hap pened, that being taken ill that day, he returned home much earlier than was cuflomary.

All the requefted was, that her hufband would rettore her to her parents; which. notwithltanding his in juries, he promifed he would do. Of thort duration, however, were her better retolves; and fo true was it, that when the bounds of virtue were once tract grelled. and the mind became familiarifed with guilt, that it aAcd without remorfe what in its pure (late it could not contemplate without horror ; for in a few weeks after this event the publicly married h:r ho try feducer ; and for that alt the now flood arraigned as a criminal at the bar ofjuftice, t r antwer for the crime.

The houfe was of large dimeniionr, but, with the exception of two flacks of chimnie., wholly of timber.

There were two children in the houte, who were with di& culty fared. The whole was inftantly a general con flagration, and as there was no brick-work, the heat was fo intenfe, that not an article c , ruld he preferved from the devouring element. All the adjacent final' houfes were Mama!) , pulled to pieces. to prevent the flame from spreading. In leis than half an hour, and before the arrival or an engine. the building was le •vellcd to the . ground.
