REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF MATERNA-1 LOVE
few days ago, a woman, in Quacake Valley, North-
ampton County, observed a rattlesnake coiled on a
log near the house: she took her husband's rifle out
to shout it, but, setting the gun at the end of the log,
.concluded to kill it with a stick, which she effected ;
then reaching fin the rifle, and drawing it towards
her, the lock struck a knot, the gun went off, and
the ball entered her left side, and came out near the
left shoulder. She did not fall, but took the rifle into
the house and set it up; then took her infant from the
cradle, and bidding one of the elder children to press
her hand bn the wound to check the effusion of the
blood, gave suck to her child—thus exemplifying the
" ruling passion strong in death; the last thought of
the mother was associated with the comfort of her
little one: 'a very kw hours after the woman was a
corpse.—American Paper.
A I
CURIOUS CONTEST FOR A WIFE !--rst,
Englishman;
and a German both fell in love with the same Lady,
whom they were both equally beloved—the parent of
the young Lady was equally satisfied with both.—
They possessed equal talents, fortune, character,
standing, and all the rest of the world's goads—in
short, they stood on the ground of such equality, that
no other mode was left to decide the controversy than
a duel. The father, however, to save the lives of two
such valuable men, proposed this substitute—that
whoever was capable of putting his antagonist with
force of arms into a leather bag should be the for-
tunate candidate ! These terms were accepted—the
parties met in the presence of a numerous crowd of
spectators, and the contest began. 'The German
proving the strongest hero of the two, took his Eng-
lish antagonist, and with main strength put him into
the bag, tied him up with a handsome bow knot round
the mouth of the bag, to prevent his escape, shoul-
dered him as a man would shoulder a dead hog, and
laid his whole length at his mistress's feet, and amidst
the shouts and congratulations of the spectators, bore
off the prize in triumph.—American Paper.
SINGULAR EPITAPH.—In a Church at Amsterdam
there is a very ancient funeral monument of white
marble, on which are engraved a pair of slippers, of
a • very singular kind, with this inscription, " Elea
Nyt," which means exactly; and the story of this sin-
gularity is this :—A man who was very rich, but who
was a boa vivant, took it into his head that he was
to live a certain number of years, and no longer.—
Under the impression of this idea, he calculated, that
if he spent so much a year, his estate and his life
would expire together; it accidentally happened that
he was not mistaken in either of his calculations; he
died precisely at that time which he had presented to
himself in fancy, and had then brought his fortune
to such a predicament, that after the paying of his
debts he had nothing left but a pair of slippers: his
relations buried him ma creditable manner, and had
the slippers carved on histomb, with the above device.
THE LATE FIRE AT EDINEURGH.--It is now un-
happily ascertained that three lives were lost at the
fire In the West Port, Edinburgh, on Thursday night,
as stated in the STAR of Tuesday. These were Sa-
muel Park, an Irish labourer, and his son and daugh-
ter, eight and ten years old. Their remains were dug
out of the ruins on Saturday afternoon, but in such a
mutilated and consumed state, that only those of the
father and son could be identified with certainty.
Park had been a widower for about two years. On
the alarm of the fire. be was called-to by a neigh-
bour, who escaped in his shirt, and made answer ;
and hisfriend was anxiously searching for him among
his acquaintances the whole of Friday, in the hope
that he had also escaped. The rapidity of the Rinses
however, was sash, that the poor man appears to
have lost his own fife iu his paternal anxiety $0 lam
those-of his children.

his extraordinary task of walking 1000 miles And 1000 poles lit

On Sunday he -had drank so much ale, that at midnight, wissik

• TO SPORTSMEN:
At a number of pointers have been observed lame in the bet;
'which may be attributed to the dryness of the season, a Corte*
spondent has adopted the following treatment suceessfelly s
Wash the feet in warm and salt water, then apply with a sponge
the following mixture: compound tincture of myrrh, one ounce
nitrous acid, 10 drops.

There is now in the possession of Mr. Italia %T-
-win, gamekeeper at Riddleham Hope, the seat of
CirantEs Jonx CLAVERING, Esq. a young raveni
fifteen months old, which was taken from the nest
there when very young, and brought up by the keeper
with the dogs. It is now so completely domesticated*
that it will go out with the keeper and the dogs, and
when it takes its flight further than usual, at the sound
of the whistle it will return and perch upon a tree or
a wall, and watch all their movements. It is no un-
common thing for it to go to the moors with him,
and to return, a distance of ten or twelve miles. He
will even enter a village with the keeper, partake of
the same refreshments and never leave him until hi
returns home.
A number of those beautiful little bird!, the golden.;
crested wren, have recently been caught in the streets
in Harwich, and on the shipping off the Oast.
The quantity of fruit produced in Dundee market
this season, almost surpasses credibility. On Fridays
week upwards of fifty cart loads were brought td
town from the Carse. In fact, apples are selling as
cheap, if not cheaper, than potatoes.
St. Paul's Grammar School having been long con.;•
sidered too confined for the number of pupils, prepa;
rations are making to enlarge the dimensions.
Nonwicti, Summit' 25.—A great concdurse of
labourers and others broke to pieces and destroyed a
thrashing machine, at Attleburgh, on Wednesday
and on Thursday a number assembled in the street*
opposite the pi emises of Mrs. Pilgrim, of Winfarthing;
and although the peace-officers most earnestly en-
treated them to desist, and pointed out to them thd
illegality and danger of such prpcee ings, and how
determined the Magistrates were to put the law in
force in all its rigour against offenders, they imme.;
diately proceeded to invest the
,premises, and having
taken up the outward parts of a thrashing machipe
thereat work, the property of Robert Coppingi of Diss*
mounted it on its carriage, drew it away with shouts
of triumph, and plungedit into a large pit, in the pa:
rish of Shelfanger, leaving it sunk in fourteen &.r
water, where it still remains.
