Only'one heat.

Sunday evening about eight "o'clock, as two boats
. filied with pleasure parties, passed close to each
other at Putney Bridge, a. watermari" belonging CO
one of them, instead of shipping his oar,' kept it ex_
tended, seemingly with the. intention of doing mis-
chief::
.. The consequence Was, that it struck a
Gentleman in the other boat in the neck, and
instantly
,precipitated him to the bottom. The
aggressor rowed off laughing at the circumstance.
Every exertion, however; was used by a number of
boats which instantly repaired to the .spot, for
saving the Gentleman, but unfortunately ,without
effeef, as the "body never rose. .r
One night last week, the premises belonging to
Farmer Moore, in the parish of Melkshlm, were set
on fire (it is supposed by some incendiary), which
destroyed the barn, stable, and out-house ; also
two fat calves, all their., poultry, waggons, carts,
&c. &c.' The fire broke out when 'all the family.
were in bed ; .Corturiately one of 'the fagner's sons
was awakened by the great light and burning of,
an elm tree near his room window, "which so al.:
frighted him, that he cried out in the, greatest
consternation—father,'mother, the:world is at an
end! •
