ELECTION OF SHERlFFS.—Yesterday the Livery

Thomas Quested Finnis, alderman and bowyer, and Mr.
Jacob Emmanuel Goodhart, citizen and grocer. Both thee.
gentlemen duly returned thanks to the Livery, and the Hall
was then dissolved.

SINGULAR FACT.—it is not, we believe, generally
known, and indeed it would appear almost an incredible
fact, that mice, in the absence of other more appropriate
articles of food whereon to exercise their denies
molures, have been actually known to gnaw through
leaden gaspipes. Such, however, is the cue, ani we
have this week examined a piece of gaspipe from the
shop of Mr. Hall, of Mary-le-Port-street, in this city,
which had a hole in it tally an inch long, gnawed by
these destructive little creatures, who thus fully rebutted
2Esop's contemptuous appellation, " ridiculus mus."
Consumers of gas, bearing this fact in mind, would do
•A ell to make a practice invariably of turning off their
gas at the main.—Bristol Mirror.

EITHER WAY WILL Do.—A Mr. Day advertises
the loss of his dog, whereupon an editorial wag says he
hopes he will succeed in finding him; for if "every dog
has his day,' every Day ought to have his dog.
