PHENOMENON.—One of the Paris Papers, the
'Journal du Commerce of the 4th inst. mentions, that
there is, at present liVing, in that city, a child, twen-
ty-oue months old, who only weighs four pounds,
and'whose length.is only thirty-four centimetres, or
eighteen inches and three lines ; he has six teeth,.
tour in the upper and two in the under jaw. He was
born at the regular period of nine months. Both his
1-):0-ents are 'healthy and vigorous ; the father is a
'porter, and the mother, a- very .comely figure, is a
washerwoman.

, A feW days since was sold; by Mr. Samuel Well-
ment, of Wilton, near Taunton, -to Messrs. Eng-
land and •Slocombe, of Exeter, an extraordinary
heifer, for 100 guineas. The heifer is one of a
twin, but Six years old, has calved thrice, and had
twins each time. Her sister is in possession of Mr.
Wellment, and has had twins twice.,
There are now living in a yard---at the hottom of

PARADox.,-7At a country fair and horse race in
Seotland, a few days ago, two adjoining- booth-
keeiers sold ." the best eondon porter ;" one av'six--
Hpenca, and the other at jour-pence the quart.—The
latter,,as might be expeAed, was first sold off; but
it may appear, somewhat extraordinary, that he who
sold at the lowest price made the most money, tho',
h 3 had the
,article from his opponent,---The faa
Was, the sixpenny having had a present made of
• a barrel, from London, ands onsidering the fair as
affording a pod opportunity of converting the li=•
00r-into-cash', (though no publican) he opened a
booth fbr the purpose. His neighbour, considering
this as an intrusion, and perceiving the situation of
the barrel, .while it was tapped at one end by its first
possessor, lie made an incision in the canvass that
separated the two tents, and took the liberty of tap,4,
ping it at the other end !----Proelamation‘being made
of the prices, the thirsty fair folks flocked' to the
ibur7penny porter booth, Jill the cask (which had
a little downward inclination at the opposite end)
would run no more !—They were then under the
*ecessity of resorting to the other bootb, bert that
tap was soon exhauSted,3. the reduced price end
having draiued the whole barrel, except four or five
quarts. •
Lately died, at Hawkesbury Upton, Gloucester-
shire, a man of the name of Cooper. He had long,
endured the horrors of a guilty conscience, which he
di.sburthened about an hour betZfrehis death, by de,
claring„ that Ire had. been assisted by a man of Horton

then found.
On Sunday evening, while Divine Service- was
.performing in the chapel opposite Five Bell-lane,
Rochester, a most shameful violation of decency was
exhibited by a man who was sitting in the gallery of
the chapel : in the middle of the discourse which
the preacher was delivering to' his hearers, the con-
;l r.uation was suddenly alarmed by a cry of " mur-
.6.l-71" This unefr,xpeCted alarni, uttered in the midst
of the silent attention which pervaded the auditors,
had such a powerful effed as to cause several females
to faint. It was again repeated;with other indecen-
cies. The man was immediately seized, and forced.
from the chapel he was found to be in a state of in-
toxication, and proved to be a man of the name of,
ITlillictna Sample. He was taken before J. P. HENS- '
`Low, Esq. the Mayor of Rochester, who committed
him to 'Bridewell, where 'he was detained the whole
night.

While boiling oh the fire ; part of the water had
gone over his throat, but it was an hour- and a half
before the child sheaved the least symptorn,of being.

was burnt, medical assistance vas sent for 5 but be-
fore that. coniri be procured the chid expired in the
most extreme agony, about three hours -after it had •
swallowed the water. . .

chester And Middleton, the work Men lately disco-
covered, in Collyhurst Clough, a large quantity of
1u banes, and on Saturday they found a coffin
in a state ,of middling preservation, containing a
human skeleton. It appears -that the ground alluded
to had been used as a receptacle fhr the dead at pe-
riods when Manchester was visited by that 'most
dreadful of all scourges,- the'plague, that. these
are the melancholy relics of its viCtims.
