Some wanton ruffians, a few nights since, mangled,
in a horrid Manner, seven cows, belonging to a
fiqiner near Walsall—three of them died soon after.
klutlatic asylum for the font western counties,
was on Wednesday opened at Exeter.

The following ludicrous circumstance took place
nn Sunday se'rinight, in the . parish church of
W"de**4llll, in the hundred of Wirral, in the
county of Chester, and may be depended upon as a
faEt, the Clerk of which Place is also a Publican and
Sinner :—During the time the Parson was reading
that. part of the service from the Communion Table,
beginning, " Remember the Sabbath-day, to keep
it holy," a boy with:a large jug, ,and a bunch of
keys, marches very deliberately into, the body of
the church, and accosting the disciple of Sternhold
":and. Hopkins, said, " Joseph, Joseph, there's a mon
wants a quart a ale, and here's the .money.foi it!
when
,poor Joseph, forgetting the sacredness of the
p1a1..-3, instead of complying withbis request,. very
Ineekly and deliberately stretched forth his arm
from the reading desk, and knocked the boy down,
jug and all, which had such an elle& on_ the risible
muscles of the-congregation, as to produce a general
'burst ofiaughter, to the mortification of the Parion,
who was unable to account for their want of decency
and decorum, till he saisithe poor objet of the
Clerk's resentment gather himself together;, when
the lad, casting a pitiful look al the remains of the
:jug, then at' Joseph, and then at the Parson, made
a precipitate retreat!
