DANCING EXTRAORDINARY—A few days ago two young
chimney sweeps, entering the burgh of Linlithgow from
the cast, spied a new and tall steam-engine vent, whose
cloud-capt summit seemed to challenge their climbing
powers. Quitting the high road, the young rogues entered
the building, and contrived to creep up through the in-
terior of the vent to the top; and, after performing many
capers and gambols on " the speculative height," to the
terror and amazement of the spectators, one of them sud-
denly executed a summered, pitched down on his hands,
and raising his heck: in the air, continued to kick against
the clouds for some time, with alt imaginable ease. The
vent stands detached from every other building, is 70 feet
high, three feet diameter on the outside, and 18 inches
within, so that our tumblers had only a ledge nine inches
in breadth to gambol upon. Cedes, this surpasses the feat
of the English sailors, who astonished the Laud of Egypt,
by carousing on the top of Pompey's Pillar. What pa-
tronage the sable performers met with in the town, our
correspondent does not say. We hope it was ample, and
that the Magistrates knew their duty, and conferred the
freedom of the burgh on youths who showed such ex-
traordinary powers for rising in the world.—Scasman.
