Bay, perhaps, never afforded so ablindint
a supply of fish as at present, and fob some days
par ; large quantities of salmon have been brought
from the'floyne, much superior to the Liffey sal-
mon ; there, has also been large entries- of ,alien
fish from Scotland, Wales, and - the Lie of Man,
which ought to reduce the price of butchers' meat.

ciently cautious in guiding the restive animal which
drew his'car,• the beast plunged into the LitreV at
Carlisle-bridge, and the driver, who was seated on
the Car, was unfortunately drowned. Another
coal-porter, in the humane aft of endeavouring to
save the life of his comrade, 'was very near sharing
the same fate.

Dit AT NAGE OF LAND HARI", a resident of
Little Houghton, in Northamptonshire, -who for
several years past has made draining his business, is
now employed ain n.extensive drainage, near Arun.

making one covered drain, eqy, obliquely, instead
of the numerous parallel drains usually made use of ;
and what is very siugulat, he. has for these thirty
years past adopted this mode of draining, by using
the spirit-level, and boring for- springs, though, (id
very lately, nothing of-that nature has been in -prac-
tice, though frequently written of. •

Jackson was sitting at her fire-side with a yOung
child in her arms, she heard a knocking at the
door,
.arid supposing it to be het husband, imme.
diately opened it ; when, to her great sutpriie,
scnnething black, with a large pair of horns, instant..
ly rushed by her. The affrighted mother atnd two
other of her children, running into the street, their
cries soon alarmed the neighbourhood, anti a doubt
wad for a short tinie entertained whither it was a
cOrporeal or supernatural being. Two men, how.
ever, entered the house, and found the object of
terror to be a large black horned sheep, which had
taken refuge in the child's cradle, and crouching
in its sting retreat, Was obliged to be dragged out
by the horirq.
