Wednesday miming,' a boy, about five years of
age, • fell before the wheel of a cart in Hutcheson-,
town, Glasgow, which passed over him, and crushed
him to death.

Thursday, as a fine boy, of 13 years of age, was
playing, along with others, among the rocks near St.
Anthony's Chapel, Edinburgh, having gone too near
the edge of a precipice, in search of a bird's nest, he
lost his balance, fell from a considerable height, and
w2s killed on the spot.
It is computed that lime, to the value of a million
sterling, is usql by the Scots farmers every three
years; and that the coal-mines produce annually two
millions and a half of tons, worth nearly a million
sterling.
There was a tremendous fall of hail at Glasserton
Place, in Galloway, on Sunday se'nnight, accompa.
nied with' any very loud peals of thunder. The

rence, and broke the tine hot-houses in Glasservar
garden to a very considerable extent, besides damag-
ing almost every thing in the garden.
A young. man belonging to the Royal Train of
Artillery, on furlough from his corps, latdy visited
his relations in the neighbourhood of Dunfermline,
..and being, is is supposed, disinclined to return to his
duty, went out on pretence of shooting birds, but it
appears with the teal latent of maiming himself, for
the purpose of Focusing his discharge. I.h accom-
plishriseil of his desirn'i he placed his right hand on
the muzzle of his piece, and drawing the trigger
with his tee, lodged the bulict (marble) in his writ,
which came out through the back of the hand. The
effect was, that he was seized with a locked jaw,
under which he lingered for some days, when a mor-
tifiation took place in his head, and he fell a victim
to his own ineunsiderAion and folly.
