HORRIBLE DEATIL—An old man named Thos. Smith,
who kept a turnpike-gate near Barnstable, Devonshire,
came by his death under shocking and mysterious cir-
cumstances a few days ago. It appears that a servant
in the employ of Mr. Brown was riding past the turn-
pdt. -gate, when he saw the o'd man wit'a his clothes on
fire. In,tead of dismounting, the servant rode back to
the town, a half-mile to get assistance. When he came
back the lower parts of the poor old man's body were
burnt to a cinder, but be was still alive. He was re-
moved to the Barnstaple Infirmary, and diod a short
time afterwards. Before his dea4ll he asked for his watch
and some money, which be eaid he possessed, but they
were nowhere t 3 be found. Ile was subjected to fit,
and might have set himself on fire while suffering from
one of them.

powerful war tcoat pocket Perspective Glasses, weighing
only four ounces, each containing 12 and 18 lenses, con-
structed of German g'ass, will snow distinctly a person's
countenance two and a half and three miles. They serve
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are also invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking; and
yachting. Single ones, the s'z3 of a w,l,ut, ro:sesticg the

from 11 to 16 miles. All the above can be had of larger and

valuable adVantage derived from this invention is, that
vision becomes preserved and strengthened; very aged
persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most
minute occupation—can see with these louses of a much•
less magnifj ing power—and they do not require the fre-
quent changes to the dangerous effects of further power-
ful assistance. Persons can be suited at the most remote
part of the world by sending ono of the glasses out of their
spect,cles in a letter, and stating the distance from the eye

►ewly-invented instrument for extreme cases of deafness,
called the Sound Magnifier, Organic Vibrator, and invisible
Voice Conductor. It fits so int:, the car as not to be in the
least perceptible; the unpleasant sensalou of singing noises

the deafest persons, and enables them to hear distinctly at
church and at public assemblies. 39, Alleemarle-street, Picea-
