BONAPARTE used to say that " Impossible
was the adjective of fools."

The condition of the operative glasses in
Perth is indeed deplorable. The number of the unem-
ployed is daily increasing; and in Dunning, Auchter-
arder, and other manufacturing places in the county, there
are, we are assured, not a few wearers in want of work.
Though the rate of weaving has long been under the mi-
nimum of comfortable subsistence, it has of late been con-
siderably reduced.— Scotsman.

STRANGE OCCURRENCE.--A strange OC•
currence took place previous to the sale of the land of
Gight, the patrimony of Lord 13ntox's mother, to Lord
HADDO. All the doves left the house of GIGHT and
came to Lord HADDO'S, and so did a number of herons
which had built their nests for many years in a wood on
the banks of a large loch called the Hagberry Pot. When
this was told to Lord HADDO, he pertinently replied,
" Let the birds come, and do them no harm, for the land
will soon follow," which it actually did.
CHILDBIRTH EXTRAORDINARY.—Last week
a woman, pregnant with an illegitimate child, was seized
with the pains of labour while on her return from taking
the oath of affiliation before a Magistrate. She sat down
on a stone in the road, was safely delivered, and shortly
afterwards walked home, carrying the naked new-born
babe in her apron. This singular occurrence happened in
the neighbourhood of St. Arran's.—Bristol Mercury.

'rile famous lion of Waterloo, erected on the
plains of Belgium, has undergone strange mutilations in
spite of all the precautions taken to preserve him from all
such attempts. He has now only two teeth remaining ;
his tail is docked, his Inane is reduced three fourths, and,
if the English do not before a month employ persons to
remain but the torso of a lion.—Le Cor:satre.
