For grass and grain our lands are good,
Weve many kinds of curious mood ;

With these, we carry on our trade.

Perhapfome people may enquire
Have you no court houfe,jail or 'f quire ?
While folks are hons and sincere,
What need of judge or prison here ?
Have me a cause to fettle, then ?
We leave it to judicious men,

CURIOUS FACT.
BRoke out ofthe Goal
in Exeter, on the night
of the eighth instant, a Young
Man named EDWARD ROSS,
committed for theft —about 5
feet io inches high, light com
plexion, short hair—-had on
when be went away a short blue
Jacket and Corduroy Breeches,
neither Hat nor Stockings
Whoever will take up said Ross
and commit him to either of the
Goals in Exeter or Portsmouth,
(hall receive the above Reward.

5 Dollars Reward.
The whole house was soon in an
uproar. The carpenter Itunned by
his fall, but llill more stunned by the
fancied refurreaion of the dead, was
absolutely incapable of giving any ac
count of the matter ; when the barber,
without flopping to (have, or even to
dress himfelf, ran down, and with
tremulous voice and sacred afped,
cleared up the miftery.
The pcor tonfor continues to this
day the butt of ridicule in the town
where he lives, on the score of this
tragi-comic adventure in his political
trip to the House of Commons.
Arising inscription of “ Good home
brewed " on the sign of a country ale
house, that gently moving in the wind
seemed to beckon to the thirsty travel
ler to flop there lor Comfortable re
frelhmcDt.
1 he ale was good, and the barber's
clay wanted moiflening ; be drank
freely, be intimated his wilh to sleep
there. His noft had noobjedlion, and
pointed to his room. But he had the
brown jug filled again ; and then with
reluctance daggered up flairs. By an
untoward liumoic he put his candle
out, miffed the door of his intended
apartment, and went into another
room—where was a cbrpfe of a man
who had died the cay before of the
small-pox, which was laid out on a bed,
which our weary and cipfy traveller
groped into.
ALL perfoos indebted to, or
having demands 00 the es
tate of Jonathan Veazey, late
of Brintwood, gentleman,deceaf
ed, are requeued to fettle the
lame immediately with the sub
scriber.
Fatigued we ft county ale are excel
lent opiates. The barber flep fr,undly,
and never dreamed of his bed fellow.
When he awoke in the morning,find
ing that he had a companion, he
curiously bed him-good morrow—But
receiving no answer from his lifeltfs
chum, he llamm.red out in a passion,
'' If you wi-wi-will not fp-fp-fpeak,
God da-damn you, put away your co
co-cold legs."
The barber, finding that neither
civil nor uncivil language produced a
ny effect was going to get up in a great
dudgeon, when a carpenter with a
shell to put the corpse in, entered the
room. If the fight of the coffin alar
med the barber, the appearance of a
man fitting up in the bed of death,
msae a more terrific impression on the
carpenter. Like Milton's devil, he
" back recoiled," and made but one
step down flairs ; he and the coffin
being precipitated together, with no
small injury to both.
