DEATU BY Boxisc.—A severe battle Wag
fought neat Ilford on Tuesday, between Harding"
haul, a bricklayer, and Matthew- Bolton, a saw'
yet., in consequence. of a dispute at playing II
game at four-curners. They retired to a field;,
and knocked each other down at lt2,;st fifty limo'
liaudirier,ham being lifted off the grOund ill the
70th round,Alis head fell on one side, and 14
never spoke after. It is uncertain whether death
Wai occasioned by a blow or by a fall.
The following ludicrous scene took place a fey
days ago at Broughty-ferry :—A letter was, r't",'-
ceivcd at the ferry, by the wife of a fialietman
played at Wick, in the end of which he mention'
ed, " I add no more." The wife, befog no ;:tea
scholar, read it, " I am no more ;" and
ceived the letter to be an intimati.,u of her hos'
hand's death. She became frantic and inconsolable
a the news, and bitterly bevvaihd her heavy be'
rea,etnen:, in which she was, joined by man/
other fi,heimel's wives, about a score in nomber.f,
who had tl,a, instalt•treard a. report of the loss 01
several fi,hing-boats at Wick. It is impossible 1°
describe their melanclAvr larneloatimis at thei!r
supposed loss, until a Gentleman, whose hum?'
nits prompted him to request a perusal of 06
letter , gave those forlorn as they or
posed themselves, the most un,pvalivble comfort.,
by explaining that the alarming words we're 1104
thing more than a term of farewell. 'The mourn.°

turned into rejoicing.—(btrerness Paper.)
