A very singular case was witnessed at Dover a short
time since. A lady of that town was safely delivered of a
tine child, and soon after his birth, the nurse was, as is
customary, rubbing its limbs, when she felt something
prick her hand, which, on examination, proved to be a
needle projecting from the child's arm. A surgeon at-
tended, and endeavouring to extract the needle, broke it in
twain; the remaining part was afterwards got out, with a
piece of thread actually attached through the eye.—Kentish
Chronicle.

Sunday morning last, about half-past ten o'clock, a
party of men, in a state of intoxication, were observed to
take water in a small boat, on the New Cut, near Hills-

danger, which was spurned at with the grossest abuse;
they had not proceeded far, before the boat upset, and th
whole (eight or ten persons) were thrown into the water;
one man, named Abbot, was drowned, and the rest escaped
with difficulty.
