Fitzroy-square, was passing the end of King'sgate-

BARNSLEY LINEN TRADE.—The poor weavers who
remained so long in this place out of ork, are now
not only become employed, but a great number of
those who were convened by the then existing cir-
• cumstances to seek work in distant places have re-

its wonted appearance of bi iskness and activity.

sey, of Idmiston, was attacked by a swarm of bees,
which pitched on his head, and stung him so dread-
fully that the poor animal died the next day.
A KNOWING HORSE.—Ne have always been of
the opinion that some horses were wiser than their
owners ; the following is a proof of the fact :—A
person a few" years since was in the habit, whenever
he wished to catch his horse, to take a quantity of
corn in a measure; when called to him, the horse
would come up and eat the corn, while the bridle was
put over his head. But the owner having deceived
the animal several times, by calling him when he
had no corn in the measure, the horse at length began
to !uspect his design, and coming up one day as
usual on being called, looked into the measure, and
set-;no it empty, turned round,• reared his hind legs,
and killed his owner on the spot.—Atherizan Paper.
