BRANCEPRTIf CASTLE.

A peragraph heals( appeared is the Lofoten sad some of
the provincal newspapers, stating, that the beautiful painted
window recently put up by Matthew Russell, Esq. is his as-
cient castle at Brancepeth, in the county of Durham, had

it received injury is true, bat of so trifling a nature that it
oesocely worthy of notice. This superb piece of workout -
ship reprinting she famous battle of Nestle's Cries near
Darkis, brach, its the reign of Edward 111. spinet David,
King of Scotland, and Breacepeth Castle being in the im-
mediate vicinity renders the representation of peculiar ia-
teem*. This aseient castle was long in the possession of the
Newlin, Burls of Westmorland, but was forfeited to the
Crowe in the reign of Queen Elisabeth; it has since been iu
the porosities respectively of Sir Healy Sellasyve, Earl
Esueonberg, and John Tempest, Bsq (great uncle of Lady
Stewart), cad eventually was purchased by W. Russell, Esq.
(tinker of the present wealthy swam), who, from an bumble
situation in life, recently died at the age of 84, possessed of
property to the amount of 84,0001. per ansam. We notice
the circumstance that fully in emesequence of the present

county (daughter of George Trusty's', Esq. of Bayou's

PUFF EXTRAORDINARY.

The United States have lately produced extraor-
cheery tempests and storms. From the following
extract front a New York Paper. it appears they
prnmise to be eqsally fruitful in puffs :
Tarts!—Every penes walking through a forest or an
orchard of different kinds of trees, will naturally select one
from the number, as more pleasing to his fancy, than any of
the others; hence one man admire the drooping beauty of
the willow--another the majesty of the mountain oak, and a
third the cool shade of the hsmble beech; as to fruit trees,
nee prefers the apple, another the pear, and a third the mel-
low peaches • bet we believe all mankind would take a fancy
fw a tree whose leave, should be ether sad whose frail

frail mewls hack its yellow beams; the Meese of free purity

fruit ! Where is the mortal whore mouth does net already
