ing towards the !macs in fearch of fome perion's
renaence, fuddenly came in contaa with a poul-

ing, viten, from the declevity of the pavement

Such immenfe quantities of pilchards have been
taken on the coats of Cornwall, that, for want of
fair to cure them, they have in many places been
bought up by the farmers, at a cheap rate, fur ma-
nuring the land.

The high price of prorrifions has excited a great
fpirit of induflry in Cornwall, in the improvement
of walk land, and many large tracks of grounds,
hitherto wholly barren, have produced confider-
able crops. There is at prefent a plentiful crop
of fine potatoes and turnips on the fummit of
Caftle-au-Dinas, naturally one of the moil bar-
ren and expofed fituations in the County, and
which was totally uncultivated till about two years
fince.

The Swe to provc that they are heartilyfid

who was left in the fame fituation by her hulhand.

nib, and the Magillrates are a good deal puzzled.

on an Excite Officer. A country man was flopped

had been fmuggled. After the Officer had car-
ried the liquor from Burfledon to Titchfield, a
dilance of three miles. the man fuddenly flopped
at a houfe, faying, "itisto be left there." The
Officer replied, " no, as I have feized it, it mull
go to the Excife Office," and immediately pro
ceeded with the calk. " Not to fall, matter,"
replied the countryman, " I have a little bit of
paper here, which, if you will take the time and
trouble of reading, you will find it is to be left at
this houfe.". The officer having read the parer,
exclaimed, " Why, you rafcal, this is a pet rnii,
why did you not Phew it me before? " &cant:,
ftid he, " if I had, you would not have been fo
kind as to have carried the liquor fo far for ric."
A letter from Savannah, dated July 30, Rates
as follows:

44 On the at fl intl. a negro man, on his way
to Ogechee, obferved a large buck, fore diflance
a-head, running towards him. The negro flipped
into the bulhes, and picking up a lightwood knot,
threw it at him as he paired. The deer jumped
into the ditch on the oppofite fide, and cow ling
along it the negro pnrfued him, when the deer
fpringing out made lignal of battle. The negro, a
fecond Sampfon, was not difpofed to fly, where-
upon a molt terrible confli,t enfued. The negro,
almoil exhauded, called aloud for aflillance ; but
not coming to his aid, he like the jcwith hero be-
fore mentioned, fummed up his remaining flrength,
and feizing the buck by the lower jaw and one
horn, with an Herculean jerk, he fnapped his neck
in twain. The negro is muds injured, and has
been confined ever fence."
