On Tuesday afternoon, William Heard, and Wil-
liam Hilliard, two labourers, were employed with others
reaping at Widford Hall, and whilst joking together,
Heard called out to Hilliard " Come Blinkey, look out
Blinkey," a nick-name by which he is known. Hilliard di-
rectly with an oath said, " if you offer to come nigh me
I'll cut your b— ribs out." Heard then, throwing down
his- sickle, went over to Hilliard's stretch, when Hilliard
knocked him down with his fist, and on his attempting to
rise inflicted a dreadful wound in his neck with a sickle.
Not content with this brutal conduct, Hilliard continued
to beat Heard with his fists, until other labourers came
to his assistance. He has been apprehended, and stands
committed for further examination. Heard, we under-
stand, lies in a very precarious state.—Essex Herald.

It is our painful duty to record that the body of a
man, who recently wrought here as a cooper, was found in
the neighbourhood of the farm of Shorelands. It appears
that the individual in question, having been seized with a
fever, was turned out of his lodgings, and being a stranger
in the place, without friends, and we believe without money,
finding himself turned adrift on the world in a dying state,
wandered out of the town about three miles, when, quite
exhausted, he lay down on a hay-rick and expired.-IVerth-

A Scotch bagpiper travelling in Ireland, opened his
wallet by a wood side and sat down to dinner ; no sooner
had he said grace, but three wolves came about him. To
one he threw bread, to another meat, till his provender was
all gone. At length.he took up his bagpipes, and began to
play, at which the wolves ran away. " The deel faw me,"
said Savvney, " an' I had kenned you loved music so, you
should have had it before dinner."

Three gentlemen being at a tavern, whose names
were Moore, Strange, and Wright ; said the last, " There
is but knave in company, and that is Strange." " Yes,"
answered Strange, " there is one Moore." " Ay," said
Moore, " that's Wright."

PHARISA Ism:J-1 cannot see two sawyers work at
the pit, but they put me in mind of the Pharisee and the
Publican ; the one casts his eye upward, whilst his actions
tend to the pit infernal ; the other standing with a dejected
countenance, whilst his hand and heart move upward. 'Tis
not a shame to make shew of our profession, so we truly
possess what we make shew of ; but of the two, I had ra-
ther be good, and not seem so, than seem good, and not be
so. The Publican went home to his house rather justified
than the Pharisee.— Warwick-
Alady who was in the habit of spending much of
her time in the society of her neighbours, happening one
day to be taken suddenly ill, sent her husband in great haste
for a physician. The husband ran a few roods and then
returned, exclaiming, " My dear, where shall I find you
when 1 get back ?"
FEMALE HEROISM.—Mrs. Ramsey, (says Mrs.
Piozzi), whom I knew to be a most extraordinary, steady-
minded, and gentle-mannered woman, was one night ex-
tremely ill. She called up her confidential maid-servant
to her bed-side, and, whispering in a low tone, said,
" Jane, I am dying, bat make no noise, because, if you do,
Mr. Ramsey will be awoke. You know that when his
slumbers are broken he grows nervous, and cannot go to
sleep again ;
but do you leave me now, and come in at
the usual hour in the. morning ; you will find me dead,
and he will hare had his usual allowance of sleep." She
died as was anticipated. Question for a Tea-table Debating
Society Did Mrs. Ramsey care one fig about Mr.
Ramsey ?"
A terrible storm broke over Brussels one night last
week, the rain fell in tomcats, the sky seemed to be on fire,
the claps of thunder were incessant, the torrents of rain
increased after each clap. A person was thrown down by
the cJiicussion of the pavement by the effects of the light-
ning, which, it is said, was lifted from the ground in many
part 4 of the city.
In one of the latest numbers of the Constantinople
G a:cite is an edict of the Sultan, by which the free exporta-
tion of corn from Turkey is permitted. Mr. Cass, tha
American Ambassador to the French Court, had arrived
in Constantinople on board the United States frigate Con-
Siltation, and intended to proceed to the southern provinces
of Russia, to witness the military manoeuvres, at which the
Emperor was to be present.
