SINGE' I. tit CI NCI. SISTA NCE.—The following singe. tar circumstance occurred lately in the village of Ugston, by Lauder :—A pair of pigeons, having taken up their abode in a dwelling-house in that village, built a nest there, in which the hen laid two eggs.— During . the time of her incubation, an intimacy com menced between her and the family cat, which soon became so close, that they were very seldom seen apart; and, however incredible it may appear, yet it is a well authenticated fact, that, as often as the pigeon left the nest, the cat was seen to take her place. Thus matters proceeded till the pigeon's were hatched, when puss's predilection for the offspring became as apparent as it bad been for the mother, and continued till the period of their having become full. fledged, when a painful separation ensued—painful as it respected puss ; but, regardless of her feelings, they took up their ordinary residence in the roof.— Hither the inconsolable cat's eyes were often directed ; unable, however, to brook a separation longer, she clambered up to their abode, and, with evident sa tisfaction, seated herself contiguous to them. A COMICAL SIGN BOARD.—Upon the door of a house occupied by a father and son, the former a blacksmith and publican, the latter a barber, near Bridgewater, in Somersetshire, is a board expressing es follows :—" Burnes, and son, blacksmith a n d barber's work done here, horse shoing and shaving ; locks mended, and hare curling, bleeding, teeth drawing, and all other furriery work. All sorts of spiratus lickers akording to the late comical trety.— Take notis my wife keep skcnl, and layes fokes as you shall ; teaches reading and riting and all other langwitches ; and has assista lints if required to teach horitory, sowing the mathematics ; and all other . fashoinable diversions." It must be gratifying to the country to hear, that I Dr. COOPER, NI. D. with a Society of eminent Surgeons of 30 years experience in strictures, debility, &c. have established a Medical. Board (to whom all cases are ; referred) at Charlotte-house, Great Charlotte street; opposite ROWLAND Hues Chapel, Blackfriars% road, London ; where the public are relieved from the molt dangerous diseases without confinement.— The Institution claims the attention of those who may have attempted to cure themselves, or who hare been so blind and unfortunate as to consult men ig. norant of so important a branch of the profession, whose improper treatment have merourialized thou sands, and brought many to an untimely end ; erup tions on the head; five, and body; sore eyes, throat, mouth, and nose; vertigo, noise in the ears, deaf ness, dimness of 'sight, often ending in blindness ; pains in the head and titibi, frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; extreme wenknesi in the knees, swelled ankles, with a general debility, &c. are only a few of the dreadful symptoms which frequently appear years after, and too often embitters the matrimonial state. Messrs. COOPER and Co. are consulted daily by all ranks of people, from eight tilt ten, or by letter, inclosing a fee (for no others aro answered), dialog their ease , when medicine and the best advice is sent to 'all parts of the kingdom. They also cure the piles and fistkip; without burning or cutting, and give advice gratis, nn Tuesday, Thursday, and Sun day mornings, tllttsielve o'clock.

The Prosecutor stated, that since the former investigation of this case, he had ascertained his loss to be at least 300 i, The Prisoner was placed in the care of the house, and it appeared was leagued with a number of pe r . sons, who were receivers of the stolen property.— Among these was a female named Anue Black ; h u ; this perion upon being taken into custody, havin ; ; made a confession of her guilt and share in the rot. bery, a prosecution was declined against her, a n d the Magistrate advised her evidence to be heat d. Anise Black deposed, that on Sunday, the 19th inst., she went to spend the day with the Prisoner. Mr. Dimes was from home, and shortly after she had been there, the Prisoner invited her into the shop, where they commenced rifling the shelves and drawers, and cutting off pieces from almost every article that came in their way. The shop was thee locked, and they proceeded up stairs, when the Pri seller gave the witness a considerable assortment of the goods, which she tied up, and subsequently car. tied ;iway. The remainder of the articles were put 6 7 the Prisoner' partly into her box, and partly into her own bed, among the 'feathers, through an aper. ture made for that purpose.
