anPeavgeantil:ign,i's late residence at Marseilles he
had been much surprised and disturbed when he retired to his
for the purpose of study, by a rustling
noise in the chimney, produced as he supposed by la bird
or cat who had taken possession of it. By Way of dislodging
the intruder, he caused a fire to be lighted; and great was his
astonishment when he saw something approaching the human
form divine emerge from the chimney, and, with many apolo-
gies, explain that he was a poor musician of the name of
Abarti, whose reverence for Paffaniiii, and anxiety to learn all
that he could from him, had led him to clamber down the
chimney. The maestro was so touched with this neck-break-
ing enthusiasm that he not only offered to give him instruc-
tions, but has actually taken him with him to America.
In a cause respecting a will at the Derby Assizes,
evidence was given to prove the testatrix (an apothecary's
wife) a lunatic, and amongst other things, it was deposed that
sh.e had swept a quantity of pots, lotions, potions, &c., into the
street as rubbish. " I doubt," said the Learned Judge,
" whether sweeping physic into the street be any proof of in-
sl"itY." " True, my Lord," replied the counsel, "but sweep-.
ing the pots away certainly was."
On Friday night lust, bctweeit ten and eleven
c!0:..1i, as Mr. Sadt;n, of this town, was returning from Strat-
ford-oo_ Avon, in a gig, he was attached by three villains,
while he was ascending, the hill, by the half-way house. they,
beat him in the most desperate manner, one of them having
given him a bow on the head, with a bludgeon, which knocked
him out of the gig, and lie lay stunned for several minutes,
when, recovering his senses, he defended himself with great
spirit until the wretches again knocked and beat him with des-
perate barbarity. Agiin,'howevcr, lie recovered his feet, es-
caped from the wretches, and concealed himself in a wheat-
field until nmr.ting. lie then proceeded to the fors-house of
Mr. Hyde, of Blackhill, whose servant accompanied him to
wards Warwick. During the affray the villains robbed him of
about thirty shillings.— Warwick Advertiser.
