SUSPECTED MURDER.-We have been ill'
firmed, that at Rehilwilliam, within five miles of Cabiti
an unfortunate simpleton, who went by the sobriquet 0'
Mickleen Foulks, was found f?ead in a field a few del
since. The stench of his putrid carcase discovered the
Place of its concealment, which was a large hole. It
gene?aliy supposed that this creature was murdered for tli;
money he had about him, a COlit ction having been 03
for him at one of the country chapels some before."°

EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE.-It is compute
that at present 2 000 workimn are idle, in couowquerg°,
strikes in Glasgow ; and, supposing their wages to hay'
averaged 15,. a week, it will occasion a weeklydecrease it/
the consumption of commu.itties of 1,5001. The aver3ll
weekly comppnswion giv,ri by the combined trades is
to amount to from Sc. to 10s. ; but this allowance will
occasion a proportionate diminution of their expenditure•,,

PARISH DEFAULTERS.--Witliiit the 11°
few months we have had occasion to record the &Pr

THE BITER BITTEN.--A d.iy or two V
fore the new year, when storks of aquivitm were getti4
laid in, two men in theguise of Highland smugglers co;a1
on a merchant in town—eshow,d a sample of gent"'
Fe rintomh, and succeeded in obtaining an order for tg4sj
gallon., at half a guinea per gallon. The cask they 00
with them contained only seven gallons, for which tr,l
merchant paid 3/. 13a., and agreed to pay for the of
..11
three gallons, at the same rate, on delivery. " Tal
said the smugglers, " she has just one cask wore, and 1°
pe she will take the while, though they pe a little 111°14.04
I will think of it, said the merchant, and off the smogsloo
went to pring the small ca-k. The merchant, from seto
M3l km on the ca-k, began to suspect that all was not rill
he therefore disguised himself, watched the smugglers, st.o
Lifer seeing tieen, enter a spirit cellar, and procure a 9)
g Mon cask of whisky, he set off home wards, and arri/O
in time to receive the whisky brow4ht to his door bY t
porter of the cellar ; he immediately taxed the smt2gl'
with the trawl, when they began to talk Gaelic and "14
unutterable things." None of your Gaelic here, said ..e
merchant, give me my mow), and take away your 170,1 d
tush. They had no money to give but a crown, to svi''.l
they added a watch, as a pledge for their appearauce,o
the morrow. Oo the morrow they carne, repaid !eo
money, and brought with them the porter of the 9P'r
cellar to remote the whisky. By this time a number
neighbours who had been coaxNl into the purchase of
0
gallon, and who hid received a hint from the mere"
began to arrive, and became clamorous f x the retu'°
their money. Such numbers of applicants, and 10°

glad to make a hasty escape. The men:hint then di,
coed the potter fir conniving at such proceedings, atiai,i
sending out whisky without a permit, when the poiTo
after a short a';senc.i, prisduced two permits, showing Iv
the casks should hive gone to I3eith ! The merchant
had no transaction with the porter or his master, rein&
to give up the whisky, lest the smugglers should re
;heir claim, but as he thought the whisky and the eh
'nits were best near each other, he put the latter inf,e
docket. The two casks, of course, containing sis
.allons, remain in the hands of the merchant
knotty point of ownership is discussed and decided.
