The travellers pnrfued their journey for about
three miles, when they flopped at an inn for re
frefhment. In attempting to difeharge the bill,
the merchant now found that he had forgot among
the trees, a leather belt, made in the manner of a
short belt, in which, according to the cuflom ol
travellers in Germany, he carried his money ;
recollecting, however the privacy of the place, ano
that no other perlon had palled the road, he was
not in the lead uneasy at the event, and proposed
riding back with his servant, to recover his pro
perty. His fellow-traveller, however, not only
offered, but indited on returning with him. Upon
their arrival at the fatal foot, there lay the belt,
and on it the sagacious ' i&im of fidelity breathing
its lalt breath in convulsions. A fpeftacle so ex
tremely melancholy, sensibly affected the whole
party ; but how was the distress increased, when
the merchant, seized by a voihnt pbrenzy, flew to
his pistol, & endeavoured to lodge the contents in
his own body,and his companion and servant were
obliged to use the tit not! force to prevent him
from lelf-drilruttion. Having, however, fecored
him so as to prevent the immediate fatal effects of
infancy, they returned to Strafburg ; where, not
withilandiag every medical effort, the nuforutnate
merchant in a few daysdied raving mad! Pond.P.

" Aye, said the matter, always drop the H."
The next morning the matter's tea, with a

the fame boy, he told him to take the muffin
to the fire, and beat it : "yes Sir," replied
the scholar, and taking it to the fire, eat it.
Prefemly the matter calls for his muffin ;

HOME.
While round the globe the w anderer,
With wearied flrps may roam,
Thro' every change, in every clone,
Each thought dill points to home.
Each dear domeflic scene is dill
By partial fancy drell,
And e'en the Greenland savage, Thinks
His barren foil the belt.
So wherefoe'er henceforth by fate
This frame of mine may be
Each thought, each wish will fondly dwell
America, with thee.

EXTRAORDINARY NARR ATIVE.
SOME years ago, as a gentleman was travelling
from Sir.ib %, in company wi;h a merchant of
that city, attended by meletwant, and a favourite
dog, the merchant, for his amusement, flopped a
fbort time under the Shelter of some beautiful trees
winch grew on one fide of the road ; but on his
endeavour ing to remount his horse, the dog seized
his coat, and held him with all its flreugth, growl
ing and barking in a very uncommon manner.
Unable to form any idea of the cause, the parties
were all apprehensive of the animal's being mad.
The master lathed him feverel , and at length
getting from his fold,attempted to pmfne hisroute
but the dog not only continued ids barkings, bn
bit at the horse's nose and feet, insomuch, that th
merchant, who was a mm of ftroug passion, drew
a pihol & wounded him mortally. Upon receiv.
ing the wound the dog fell, but in a few moments
recovered himfelf, and calling a most pitious look
at his enraged matter, turned back, and crawled
towards the city.
As a number of perlons were one evening
relating to each other the various extraordin
ary incidents which had fallen within their
observation, a gentleman traveller attracted
the attention of the company by the follow
ing : " As I wasonce pafling through a sor
est, I heard a rushing noise in the bullies near
the road ! and being impelled by curiosity, I
was determined to know what it was ; when
I arrived at thefpot, I found that it was
occasioned by a large stick, which was Jo
d—d crooked, it could'nt lie ftdl."
A gentleman, while walking in com[ any
with a lady, unfortunately made a mis-step
and fell. The lady, feeling for his situa
tion, kindly aflifled him in recovering his
feet, observing that the was extremely sorry
lor his faux pas ; to which our gallant an
grily replied, " What is that you fay, mad
am, about my fore paws ?" and immediately
left her.
WE the fubferibers being elected HEALTH
OFFICERS tor tue toun of Portsmouth
the ensuing year, take this early opportunity of
recommending every me-sure that will probably
conduce to the health and prosperity of the loan.
We shall endeavour to difeharge the duties of our
office in every refpett; but we know, without
we have in aid the consent and exertions of the
citizens at large, our efforts muff tail of having
tie goon effect vie v,ift. Seufibly affected with
the deftrndive rage of contagious diseases which
have prevailed in this town heretofore, we can
not willingly believe any person so dellitnte of a
regard for himfelf, and companion for hts fellow
creatures, as to withhold his hand in such a cause.
Deeply impressed with ideas that the health and
well being of all populous towns depend greatly
upon the internal regulations of the citizens there
of ; and urged by our duty to notice particularly
every nuisance or any thing otienfive, we earneltly
request all persons to be careful in creating of
feniive matter, and to use every exertion in des
troying whatever tends to endanger the lives and
health of their neighbours.
We in a particular manner request that all
vaulfi of privies may be cleaned, by the fifteenth
of the ensuing month, as the approaching warm
weather will render it more dangerous and of
tenfive.
All powers delegated to us by the laws of
New-Hampthire, 0 ill be pursued with compassion
lor all without respect to anv.
