- STAMFORb, JAN. I.
Last week Fra,„cis .Blikidworth, a labourer of
Pickwortli, in Ruti,:adi received a premium from
the Agricultural Society at Peterborough, for hav-
ing brought 'up eleven children without parochial
assistance. The same man had before received two
premiums front the Rutland Society of Industry.—
We notice this as being highly honourable to the
individual, .and as a stimulus to the exertions of
others in the'Same sphere of life.
What ma); be considered as a phenomenon in this
climate, at so advanced a period of the year, was the
very vivid and incessant lightning-which alarmed
many persons in this neighbourhood during the early
part of yesterday morning.
On Saturday last an Inquest was taken at •North
Rauceby, before Mr. George. White,- one of the
Coroners for this County' odihe body of Bethia
Richardson, who dipped down .and died suddenly
on the Thursday precetiing,, no person being present
at the time ; npori which the Jury returned a verdict
that she died by the visitation of Gott.
At Sheepshead, in Leicestershire, a violent fever
has carried off a great number of the Inhabitants ; ,
one, family lost the entire of their children, five in,
number, in seven days.
We are concerned to say; that an epidemic fever
has in some parts of this County been attended with
consequences' neatly as fatal. We have before re_
commended the use of yeast in these cases, which
we again beg to urge, it having proved of the most
singular benefit.
• About 'nine 'o'clock •at night on Friday last
(Christmas-Day, some villains robbed one of the
Leeds waggons, stopping at the Oueen's•Head in
this t9wn, of two pAckages of and other r _
tides, amongst which were two boxes, belonging
to two young women going out of Yorkshire to
service in London, who were thus bereft of every
thing.—One of the poor girls had three halfpence
about her, which, with the clothes on their backs,
were their only property, in a strange place, and
upwards of one hundred miles from any friend, save.
the friend of humanity..

Singular Increase.—Mr. Farmer, a respeaable
grazier of Hough, in this County, had last Spring
tour incalved cows, and only four, on his grounds,
three of which brought forth in the space of six
weeks, six calves, two each. All of them are alive
and doing well.
