MY AUNT PONTYPOOL.—" We wish, notwith-
standing her peculiar characteristics, that we too had an
Aunt Pontypool ! The race of kind-hearted, simple-
minded old ladies is becoming extinct ; and their very
existence would be doubted by future generations, were it
not for such books as the one now upon our table. The
character of My Aunt Pontypool' is well conceived and
well drawn—it is a portrait of Sir Joshua's, animated and
alive. We have seldom met with three more entertaining
volumes."—New Monthly.

The Medical Gazette states that a Mr. Thelorier,
of Paris, has recently rendered solid carbonic acid gas. It
requires, a temperature of nearly 100 degrees below the
freezing point of water ; but when reduced to this state it
is capable of remaining so in the open air for a few minutes.
It does not expand violently, or explode as the liquid does,
but gradually disappears by a slow evaporation.

Apples are so exceedingly plentiful in some parts of
the country that they arc selling at 4d. per peck, while 6d.
is paid for the same quantity of potatoes. In many parts of
the cider counties, if a person sends two casks to the apple
g ower, he will ob%irt one of cider, on giving the other cask
in return.

A woman recently died in Italy who had attained
the advanced age of 142 years, after having been blessed
with eight husbands, the last of whom has survived ben
The disconsolate widower, who is in his 62d year, became
enamoured of his better half when he himself had just passed
his 20th year, and his bride bad completed her century.
Malevolent tongues insinuate that his love %Vas influenced
more by the pleasing anticipation of a rich inheritance by
his wife's decease, than by her charms. If such were the
case, his dreams of bliss were not realised until 42 years
had rolled over his head, and he had beard many and many
a tale of the various merits of her former consorts. The
eldest of the lady's surviving daughters is 90 years of age,
consequently she was born in her n other's .52d year., The
daughter is herself a great great grandmother."' -

The match between Mr. Baring's b. g. norchester and
Mr. P. Thompson's br. in. Gipsy, for 200 sous., came off on
Saturday last; the former ridden by Captain Beecher, and the
latter by James Troughton, Mr. Thompson's groom. About
one o'clock they mounted in Mr. Lambert's yard, and pro-
ceeded to the starting point in the meadow oppoite Andovers-
ford Inn. After a few preliminary observations from the
umpire, Colonel Charritie, he gave the word " off," facetiously
wishing them " good morning," and " a pleasant ride." A
little ceremony was observed as to precedence at starting__
which was eventually taken by the horse, the mare following
close to his quarters : they maintained this position to the
brow of the hill, near the London road, when Capt. Beecher
pulled up and asked Troughton if he would then go first—but
he declined the honour, as he was riding to orders. A field
or two beyond this the Captain again pulled up ; Troughton
now took advantage of his extreme politeness, went in front,
and kept the lead over the last fence, when Captain Beecher
called on his hoase, went up to the mare, and defeated her by
two or three lengths. The condition of the mare was the
admiration of every one, reflecting the greatest credit on
Trougliton, and it is supposed by many that if he had been
allowed to have exercised his own judgment in the race he
would have won ; as it was, lie proved himself no mean oppo-
nent to the " crack rider.!' The affair passed off remarkably
. well, without the slightest accident; and the line of country
so judiciously selected by the umpire enabled the spectators to
see nearly the whole of the race from the road. We under.
stand another match will shortly come off between the above
horses for 2001. a-side.
