BIRTH-DAY OF THE DUKE OF GOR.DON.
Saturday last, the. 2(1 inst„ being .the first anniversary of
the Duke of GORDON'S birth which has happened since his
Grace succeeded to the domaina and, titles of his ancestors,
the day was celebrated by the inhabitants oliPochabe.rs,
_ .
,_,And its vicinity, with appropriate honours and rejoicings,
while :inunense - bonfires were blazing in the streets,
and on the tops of many of the surrounding hills, a
. .
mamma, assembly of : the trades and principal mer-
chants of the village of Fechsiberetnet in the public ball,
wheree after an excellent dinner and liberal libatlens of
“ mountain dew,” being. oined by their wives and families
in the evening, they struck up the inspiringreels, and foot-
ed it away, in the spirit of genuine Scottish light-hearted
hilarity,- till the stroke of twelve sounded their signal to
retreat from one of the happiest meetings ,in which the
oldest inhabitant remembers ever to have - drowned his
cares„ awl surrendered his heart to -joy. Nor was
this the whole, the amiable Duchess, who may be.
justly styled the, patroness of the poor, ever into-.
rested in their happiness, .and mindful of their wants,
'* had ordered a large supply of meal to be propor-
tioned among the indigent part of the ..populace,, in.,
addition to similar donations which were distributed
among them during the Christmas Festivities ; and thus
the humblest villager.participated in, the general' joy, and
hid reason to unite in the good wishes and the prayers
"
which, on this day of rejoicing, were so sincerely expressed,
fur lung life, prosperity, and happiness, to the distinguished
individuals who have so lately taken up their residence in
.
this part of the country. Glasgow Courier.
On Saturday, died at ganninnton near this
town, the Reverend ROBERT ExxoN, aged 84. Although
lie died possessed of nearly ten thousand pounds, his life
was marked by nothing more than his frugality or rather
.stinginess ; he resided M a house of his own at Canning-
tan, and kept no .servant, but perforated all the menial
duties himself! His horse was turned out at night to
graze on the hedges by the road side, and every market-
day brought him to.this town ; on that day his, general-
mee; ho
practice was (if not invited anywhere to dinnerYto bus' a
penny loaf, and then to go to the butter-stalls in themarket
and taste the contents ofse;_v_wbasieretkmts

tuted his meal for the day
his visits to the cheese market for the same. purpose.
.His death was the consequence of a broken thigh, and
•dwing his illness he employed no less than ten surgeons,-
discharging them immediately after their first visit ; he has
been known, frequently . after having had medicines sent
him by his medical men, to return them with a request
that be might . have credit given him for them in his act

consisted of a bed and sheet,: the colpur of which was
scarcely distinguishable from that of the ground,- and in a
corner of the room was a collection of filth, the proceeds of
the sweepings of his room, which took. place once a week ;
he has been never known-to buy any other joint of meet
. than a breast of mutton, which was hung
