MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. —A Short tilne
since the building of a stone bridge was commenced over the
river Leven, near the town of that name, and in mart°
a road to it from the village of Inverleven, a stripe had it,
be taken off a garden at the east end of that village' kali
levelling this road, at the point described, a human s,na
was first discovered, with a hole in the back p o
art of it' f
afterwards, in the same place, bones of the other parts
4.0 a
man, with fragments of clothes. These circumstances t'
led to the supposition that a person must have been mural'.
and buried there; and this is strengthened by the recolleat;?l,
that in October, 18.33, a vessel belonging to Aberdeen ,a
charged a cargo of bones at Leven, and having been charte'bt,
e
by a broker in Leith, the master went there to draw his treigair
and was never afterwards heard of. The remains of the
now found are suspected to be those of this shipmaster, whose
name name is said to have been Fowler, and that of his vessel
Rover; but as to how be came by his death, orby s
whom t-e
body was deposited in this garden, must, it is feared, retsain -
matter of conjecture.— Caledonian Mercury.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—!k. BOY KILLED
N Aartow.—On Friday information was forwarded t(Yia;
Wakley, the Coroner, that he might issue his warrant for L'°
ing an inquest on the body of Edward Johnson, a little v"il;
aged eight years and a half, who was shot by an arrow 0,2 tej
afternoon of Tuesday last. It appears that. the dacefn-g
child, who is the son of a respectable tradesman. re"-;$
at No. 19, Melton-crescent, Euston-squat e, went cunt'
company with an elder brother, on the afternoon of -L uti-a
day last, for the purpose of taking a walk. Theyl

dressed the wound ; after which the deceased recovered sub'
eiently to be able to walk home with his brother. S}lo
after his arrival he became very ill, and medical aid was calle
in, but he expired the following night.
EXTRAORDINARY BLAST.—The worlanel-
,
present employed by the Duke of Buccicuch at Boykine Crale;
in the parish of Westerkirk, near Langholm, on a trial f°es
slate quarry, have frequently been required to blow awaY h
of the adjoining whinstone rock by means of gun readcr.f t,
few days ago, they bored the rock to the depth of three 'O,
and charged it with about two pounds of powder, (not ilwrk
which, when it exploded, strange to say, lifted out a Wet,
stone measuring three feet and a half square, and threw l'hat
die distance of fifty-one yards at a single brand.

SOUTH OF DEVON.—The hav harvest, on boo
land, may be said to be almost general, and the swathe tipleraVi

PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISII.---°
Saturday, a young reee was fined by Bailie Small, in the Pcliii
Court, in lOs. 6d., for an assault upon a saddlers
aft
his own shop. It appeared that the offender had taken a r fro,
n-
manteau to tie saddler to have the buttohole repairer.,
hich he was charged one penny. This very moderate diarr
he considered a piece of extortion, and, after some higglings.
began to belabour the saddler with the portmanteau iu a st)
is inch was far from being relished. The unprovoked nature.
the assault led the saddler to bring the case before the P 01,3.
14.
Court, when the assailant, as already stated, W fined in 30,'• tl
—a sum which he no doubt considered rather exorbitant for I'
stitching of a button-hole.—Glasgow Paper.
