ORIGINAL ANECDOTC—A certain ohl woman look from
the post•ullice iu the towu of Y— a letter. Nut knowing
how to seed, and being ■nsious to know the conteuta, sup-
posing it to be frL a one ur her sons, she called upon a per-
son near to read the letter to her. He accordingly began
to read— " Charleston, June 23, 1821.
" Dear Mother," then making a stop to find ont what
followed (as the writing was rather bad), the uld lady re-
claimed, t 1 'Hs frost poor Jerry, he always 'tattered."
Lord livitotii has written the following epitaph:
1‘ Here la:, a brill: who had all the virtues of hu-
manity without it. 'ices." "this perfect being was
kraut:wain. the dog of the Noble Poet.—(Gazelle
de I:ramre.)

The petrified retusins of a very large marine
animal have beesi found in a quarry on the top of a
hill near Brainy/Ird. They were milituriptely re-
moved from the (prime by the workmen, broken
to pieces, and carried upon the roads in the neigh-
bourhood. Only a part of them have in conse-
quence been preserved, yet sufficient to shew that
the animal to which they once belonged must have
been our of no common kind or size. It appears
to have lain on the surface of a freestone rock, and
was covered by a thick stratum of yellowish-colour-
ed merle. Never was the petrefactive process more
complete ; the different pieces are literally masses
of stone, only distinguishable as the parts of an
animal by their exterior Nun. —(fiereford ✓ournal )
