A machine for cleaning gravel walks has been in-
vented by a man of the name of Thompfon, a private
in the Peeblesiltire Volunteers. It turns, rakes, and
rolls the gravel by the fame operation, and has this
peculiar advantage attending it,that it can be wrought
by a (mall pone'', at the fame time that it does as
much work in an hour as a dozen men can do in a
day.

Swim:misc.—On the 28th ult. a deep laid (wind-
ling trick was prailifed on a man from Barra Head,
named M'Neil, who with a brother of his, was felling
off a cargo of . dried ling, at the Old Bridge-end of
Ayr. When it was underßood that the flurpeß of
the brothers would be out of the way, and for fome
time engaged, the other was accofied, in Celle, by t o
women, who bargained for a quantity of his fith, and
offered him in payment a piece of paper, which they
called a 51. note, refembling a bank note in the last
Rage of wear, and the body of it filled up, ;wily in
writing, partly engraved, as below :
a NOTA i BENE.

For this (ketch of a virtuous man, the honed un
fafpeeing Wander, who cannot read, paid them II H.
in cant, and goo weight of ling, which they carried
off very deliberately. Unluckily the man did not
produce the paper to any who could read it till next
Monday, on purchafing Come cordage at the Rope
Work, when he was fo confounded at the difcovery,
that he left the town without taking any fleps to pin-
fue the offenders • but the Provo(, on hearing of the
tranfaBion, immediately fet on foot an inquiry, and
fucceeded in tracing out the women, who were com
mitted to jail-79 fill were found in their lodging.—
We underdand the women have acknowledged that
they paffed the piece of paper ; that they deemed it a
five-pound note ; and fay that it was found on the
road to Mayhole.
