brother John to visit his grandfather (the Rev. James Jen-
kins) at the Llanfoist Rectory, he was seized with a fit and
.fell from his pony; he was immediately conveyed to the
nearest house, and medical attendance instantly procured,
but we much regret to say that life was extinct.—Monmouth
Beacon.
A NATURAL QUERY.—A countryman called at the
Observatory on the Calton-hill, Edinburgh, and desired to
be shown the moon through a telescope. The waggish
attendant directed the instrument towards Kirkaldy, and the
man was delighted to see streets, houses, and signboards,
just such as we have in this world; but he was struck with
astonishment when he observed on one of the houses, " Alloa
ale sold here." " Alloa yill," said he, "How in a' the world
do they get it up."
