surprised, upon invesitigation, to find that it was
a watch, to which was attached a steel chain, key, and
seal, the latter of which, no *doubt, caught in a loop, and
drew the watch out of the Yob. On the inner case was
engraven "Robert Margctt s, 1800," which made her
acquainted with the owner,. ;and led to the restoration of
the watch.—Local paper.
EARTHQUAKE AT COME IS.—Comrie was visited
on the night of the 2Sth ult., by a rather severe shock
of an ecrthquage, which heqr pened about midnight. It
extended over a wide space of country, being heard at
the farthest extremity of 03.. stratb, taking its direction
from north-west to south-e at .t. The weather of late has
been unusually wet and fo: rity, which would appear to
favour the theory of eartbq u akes having their immediate
rise from the state of the ;atmosphere, as such weather
is usually the forerunner of some severe shock; but this
can hardly be taken as an es tablished rule. The earth-
quake lasted about three o r four minutes, produoing a
severe oscillatory motion; r fo damage of any consequence
occurred.—Caledonian Me ret •ry.
