On Saturday last, a pauper of Little Houghton, of
the name of Nichols, attempted to put an end to his life, by
cutting his throat with a case-knife. He made no secret of
his intention, but stood upright against a table, and made the
attempt before several women. He was taken to the infirmary,
and there are but slight hopes of his recovery. He has been
in a low way for some time, and has many times said he must
commit suicide; but no serious apprehensions were entertained.
Na less than three inquests have been held within little more
than three years on cases of suicides at this village.—North-
ampton ALlrcury.
ANECDOTE OF LORD NELSON.—In 1781, Lord
Nelson, then Captain, was chosen to conduct the naval part of
the expedition against St. Juan's. Being one day excessively
fatigued, he ordered his hammock, in one of their huts, to be
slung under some trees. During his sleep, the extraordinary
animal called a " monitory lizard," from its faculty of warning
persons of the approach of any venomous animal, passed across
his face ; whio being observed by some of the Indian itine-
rants, they shoutbd, and awoke him. He immediately started
up, and throwing ofi the quilt, found one of the most venomous
of the innumerable szn-pents in that country coiled up at his
feet. From this providential escape, the Indians who attended,
entertained an idea that Nelson was a superior being, under an
especial protection ; and ibis opinion, which his wonderful
abilities and unwearied exertions tended to confirm, was of
essential service in gaining ti,.lir confidence, and prolonging
their co-operation.
IRISH ANECDOTE.—A pexant is never satisfied
till he has secured a good gun ci• a blunderbuss ; and he
chuckles over it in secret, with the de:lght of a miser over his
rbld. The image of a grand contest N-v ith " the Saxon or
Sasen7.9o," an epithet that expresses hell Protestant and
EnglislitnO, is ever present to his imaginati,9n. Some time
ago a leader or rural insurrection in the souW, on his way to
the assize town to 7ritness the trial of his son for Whiteboy-
ism, stopped for the night at the house cif a very respectable
and peaceful farmer, who tat
the same nam.6l; tie identity of
name proved the identity of cionship, and he eim.med hospi-
tality as a right, which was not ci:nied him. The I: ight hav-
ing been mostly spent after the Irish fashion, in antiquarian
and legendary stories, the host asked him what was his burial-
place. The other replied in Irish ( I was by a strange ebance
present), 64 My burying-ground ! I shall be buried nowlx-r? ;
I shall fall in the battle against the Sasenaghs, and lie on t4.'e
belly of the open field, and the rats and the ravens will pick
my bones bare till they dry." The host asked, " Why, you
unfortunate man, what will become of your poor soul, it there
be the blood of man on your hand when you die?" The other
replied, " But it won't be the blood of a true Christian; when
St. Peter struck off the ear of the Jew there was no sin in it,
and yet there was blood upon his band. St. Patrick will come
down and carry my soul to heaven, and say, 6 Open the gates,
this is Darby O'Connor, he was murdered by the Sase-
naghs.'" This is a sample of the general impression that per-
vades the wretched deluded peasantry.—Morning Paper.
FREEMA soNRY.—A most splendid new Masonic
Hall having been recently completed for the Tiverton Lodge
of Fidelity, the solemn ceremony of dedication took place on
Wednesday. The Provincial Grand Lodge for the county of
Devon was opened in the New Masonic Hall, at the Angel
Inn, at ten o'clock, by the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand
Master, Brother Lord Viscount Ebrington, assisted by the
R. W. D. P. G. M. Rev. Brother Carwithen, D. D. ; the
R. W. Lord Poltimore, Pas. D. P. G. M. ; James Elfon,
Esq., P. G. S. W. ; Sir Geo. Magrath, Knt., P. G. J. W.;
and officers from Lodges in Exeter, Plymouth, and other
towns in Devon, and also from the provinces of Somerset and
Dorset. The Lodge was close tiled soon afterwards, and the
business of the P. G. Lodge having been transacted, the
Lodge was adjourned. The visiting and other brethren were
then admitted, the whole arranged in due form, wearing white
gloves, and, according to their respective degrees, adorned
with their insignia, decorations, and orders, some of which
were exceedingly beautiful and splendid. They then pro-
ceeded to St. Peter's Church, through Peter-street, in pro-
cession. The brethren left the church in the same order as
they entered (there being nearly 200 in the procession), and
returned to the new Masonic Hall,' and proceeded with the
dedication, the procession moving three times round the Hall,
the organ at the same time playing. On the procession hav-
ing thrice perambulated the room, and on arriving at the
chair, the Right Worshipful Provost Grand Master took his
seat ; the trumpet was sounded, and the Director of Cere-
monies proclaimed Lord Viscount Ebrington Provincial Grand
Master of Devon in due form. The Deputy Provincial Grand
Master and the other officers of the Provincial Lodge were
then proclaimed, each officer taking his place in the Lpdge
after proclamation. The Lodge was close tiled ; after which
the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master, assisted by
his officers, completed the ceremony of dedication. The
whole of the ceremony having been gone through, the Lodge
was closed, in ample form, with solemn prayer. The dinner
took place at the New Subscription Rooms. Upwards of 100
of the brethren attended.— Western Luminary.
