Sir Joshua Reynolds used to relate an anecdote of
a venison feast, at which were assembled many who much en-
joyed the repast. He addressed his conversation to one of
the company, Mr. M., but could not get a single word in an-
swer, until at length his silent neighbour, turning to him, said,
" Mr. Reynolds, whenever you are at a venison feast, I advise
you not to speak while at dinner, as, in endeavouring to an-
swer your que 3tion, I have just swallowed a fine piece of fat
entire, without tasting its flavour."

CURIous FAcT.—When the detachment of the
27th Regiment at Tullamore marched into that town a few
weeks since, they found living near the barracks a man of the
name of Motley, who had been discharged feom the 27th, or
Enniskillen Infantry, sixty-seven years ago. He was present
with the corps at the battle of Fontenoy, in the year 1745
under the Duke of Cumberland, and the veteran is now 109
years of age, his faculties still unimpaired, and able to relate
all the anecdotes of that memorable action with a lively inte-
rest and great clearness. He says that Lord Massy commanded
his company in that battle.—lrish Paper.
Last week the workmen em-
FLODDEN FIELD.—
ployed in excavating for additional works for the gas company,
at Coldstream, on a spot said to have been formerly part of
the burying-ground of the Priory of Cistertian nuns, im-
mediately below the surface discovered a great number of
human skeletons, which seemed to have been buried in the
greatest confusion. Upon getting deeper, a trench was
discovered, four feet wide and eight deep, and extending in
length as far as was necessary to be excavated for the
works about to be erected (upwards of twenty feet), filled
with bones, generally in a very decayed state, but among
which were many entire skulls, with the teeth in a high state
of preservation. At the bottom of the trench the blade of a
knife seven inches in length was found. It is a well-known
fact that the bodies of a great many i,ersons of note slain
in the battle of Flodden were brought in carts to Cold-
stream,_ by order of the Lady Abbess, that they might be
interred in consecrated ground and there can be little doubt
that the trench now discovered contains the remains of those
who so nobly fought and fell on that memorable day. About
ten years ago a stone' coffin, hewn out to the shape of the
human body, was discovered a few yards further to the south.
In it was found a skeleton, the legs and feet of which were
found folded under the thighs ; around the skull someting like
grey hairs were found. Below the coffin was another skele-
ton, on the skull of which were three wounds, one seemingly
by a battle-axe, one by an arrow, and a triangular one over
the right temple. No doubt but these too were the remains
of the slain from Flodden, and he on whom the honour of a
stone coffin was conferred must have been noble in birth and
high in command among his fellow soldiers.—S'eotsmen.
