The time rolled pleafiently on, till Tome neighbours,

complete tlie happy union, when Hobbs began ta
ruminate upon the fubjeft ; he reprefented; in; ttrong
terms, the inerility of filch a ceremony between per-
Cons 'who had lived fo long together in harmony and
good lmmoor ; and, after many tither doprent and
icnpreffive argitments, this gay deceiver fucceeded in
nevfnading Perfey, that it would be quite (efficient to
fati%fy the neighbours, if they woo to declare, on
their mute, that they had been married; bat,-in
oyel••• to give flow appearance to the tale. it was
geed they Chould walk twice round the church ;
Ishii& ceremony beiag performed, they returned, as
hippy as twat doves. Unfortunately, however, the
daughter of. Hobbs, and lletfey, could not at all;
times agree ; and, in one of their afternoon's agree-I
able alrercatinns, from words they .carne to blows
-Itette'y was near.getting the upper hand of her

chants, at Chatham, hurll from the preffure of a very
large quantity of coals which had been depoGted
therein a few days previous—the building is nearly
forty feet in length, and built of wood, and was filled
nearly to the roof, though the timber and uprights
were very Rout, and were placed clofely together,
they had not ftifEcient ftrength to refill the weight
which they enclofed—nearly the whole of one fide
of the building bulged with a moll dreadful cralli,
throwing the fragments of timber, and the 'mars of
coals which followed therii, with a noire like thunder
over the adjoining premifes. A very large portion
of the (battered fide of the building was carried in
an upright potation, nearly to feet, and was (topped
by a neighbour's .wall. Two or three dnvehoules
were upfet by the coals, and many pigeons butied
beneath the fortunately no perfon was near at

hiring themfelves in the ferviee of this country.—

cured them, and the cafe being heard before the
MagillrateA, they were held to bail to anfwer to the

Prior to a late race at Lewes, an accident occur'

On tiiday as a fmith was •almi to repair ((tine of
the maCifheri at the cottohindi, ihtioxtrin-fqiiare,
the corner of his neck hatikerchiet got entangled [n

The i;llowng (Ivry of a Goon and a Dno, is
from a 'Pro;mcial raper.r.“ At Little Grovei in
Hersfordlliire, was a vide of the fpecies called Ca-
nada Otiore, which are (mid of roaming at large, and
do not contnem.eot. This gook, however, 114
contratted Inch aftlendfhip for the yard dog, that
the continually kept near his bottle, in which he was
chained, quitting it only when the went for food,
and the moment the hat eaten it, returning to her
pot!. Thus the fat all day by the houfe of her fa-
vourite,- though the never attempted to go into it,
unlefs it rained. If the dog barked, the ininitnedi-
itely began to cackle. flew at the perfon with whom
the fuppnted the dog to be offended, and endeavour-
'ed to bite his 'lege. Sometimes the attempted to
partake of the dog's food ; but this the dog; who
repaid the warmth of her friendthip with apparent
indifference, would not permit. When the reit of
the poultry retired to reit, the would not quit her
dog without compulfion. In the morning, when
driven to the field with the others, there was no get-
ting her away from the gate of the courtyard where
the could at leas} have a tight of the dog, and before
which the would fit the whole day. At length the
owner of the faithful gonfe refolved to leave her to
folloW her own inclinations. and not attlift her by
aiiy forcible feparation. Being thus at liberty to obey
the impulfe of her attachment, (he paraded about
the yard at night with the dog, while he was on the
watch; and in the day, when he took a walk into
the village, the accompanied him, fometimes walking,
fometimes flying, to keep pace with his trot. This
extraordinary attachment continued till the dog's
death, which happened two years after it had been
tit ft noticed. During the illnefs of the dog,. the never
left him, even to procure food, and would•piobably
have been ilarved, if fame corn had not been placed
in a cills by the dog's houfe. The whole of the time
the (laid in the houfe, and would not Coffer any one
to come near it, except the perfon who brought the
dog food and hetklf. The goofe's end was melaa-
dimly. After the death of the dog. the would not
leave the houfe for a long time. At length a dog of
nearly the fame lize and colour being procured as his
fuccelfor. the poor creature, deceived by outward
appearance, and fuppofing it to be her old friend,
went confidently into the houfe to the dog, who leis-
' ed her by the neck, and kiiied her on the (pot."
