COST OF A WATCH.—During the war of 1796,
a sailor went into a watchmaker's in the City, and handing
out a small French watch to the ingenious artist, demanded
how much the repair would come to. The watchmaker look-
ing at it, said it would cost him more in repairs than the ori-
ginal purchase. " Oh, if that's all, I don't mind that," re-
plied the sailor; " I will even give double the original costs,
for I have veneration for the watch." " What might you have
given for it?" inquired the watchmaker. " Why," said Jack,
twitching his trousers, " I gave a French fellow a knock on
the head for it, and if you'll repair it, I'll give you two."
NUTS.—Hazel nuts are unusually plentiful in this
county this year. We were lately told by some gentlemen,
who had just visited some of the " basely dells" with which our
county abounds, that were a thousand blind pe.ople turned into
one of these copses, they would have no difficulty in filling a
thousand boll-measure sacks, merely by groping around them
and practising a little locomotion. We may therefore expect
that at our approaching races, instead of having our ears
dinned, as usual, with " Fine nuts, a penny a quarter a-pund,"
to see every man and mother's son on the turf their own nut-
bag bearer. The superabundance of nuts this season amply
attests the truth of the old Scottish saying used by our worthy
sires, viz A nitt year's an ait year."—Ayr Observer.
