SCOTTISH HONOUR AND INDEPENDENCE.--The
following instance of singular integrity is worthy of being re.
corded : A poor man, of the name of Thomas Dick, who
had resided for many years 'in the parish of Kirkliston, and
supported his family by the trade of a weaver, died there at an
advanced age, in August, 1826. His widow being left. in
destitute circumstances, was admitted on the list of parochial
poor, and received regular aliment from the Kirk Session for
about seven years from the date of her husband's decease. -By
the death of a brother, she then succeeded to a small sum of
money, when it was intimated to the Kirk Session, that she
no longer required aid from the parish, and a note was,
at the same time, requested of the amount of money which
she had received. This request was, of course, complied
with, and it is truly gratifying to state, that the minister of
the parish was waited on a few days ago, by one of her sons,
who paid to him the sum of 141. 10s., being the full amount of
the allowances made to her, during the period of her destitu-
tion. In connexion with the above interesting fact, it deserves
to be stated that, during the p'eriod of great scarcity at the
commencement of this century, when many were suffering very
great hardships in all parts of the country, the heritors of Kirk_
liston, deposited in the hands of the Rev. Mr. Ritchie, the
minister of the parish, a sum of money, to be applied towards
the relief of the most necessitous among the people. Mr.
Ritchie considering Thomas Dick as a fit object of this charity,
by reason of his large and dependent family, offered him pecu-
niary relief, when he replied, that he did not consider himself
as an object of charity=that he had health and hands where-
with to support his family, and that, although the times were
Lard, he was still able, by working Pightcen hours a day,
through the blessing of God; to give his family. one meal in the
flay, so that they were better provided forcohan many others in
the parish.—Ayr Observer.
On Wednesday last, it blew a severe gale from
the North-east, in consequence of which several houses about
the Devon Colliery were unroofed, and otherwise damaged;
and also at Tillicoultry, where it is said to have been very te r-
;fie, carrying hay and straw stacks before it with such fearful
iolence, that the streets were represented to have been com-
pletely covered with the desolating effects of the storm, -
