CAUTIO ICAINST PRENIATtAE INTERM ENT. A
woman of the name of Prosser, residing at Hay, Bre-
conshire, who had been for some time in a very ill
state of health, was lately supposed by the persons in
attendance to have died, and the necessary prepara-
tions for the funeral had commenced ; the body was
laid out by a female usually erhployed on such occa-
sions, who, on returning to the house at about six
hours afterwards, and observing the hands had been
removed from the situation they had been placed in,
concluded some person had been in the room ; but on
going toclose the mouth, WAS greatly alarmed by the
supposed corpse exclaiming—" Do not close my
much, for I am not yet dead," which threw her into
fits: The sick person has since so far recovered as to
k able to sit up in her room, is still living, although
in a very languid state, and she declares that she
hcirl all the conversation which passed relative to
her funeral, but from extreme weakness had not the'
power of speech or mr,tion.

tNos.--A match was Made a fortnight sinee be-
freer.' Smith the cotemporary of O'Donnel and
George Green, a rising fig.,hter of the present day..—
The combatants had each beaten Dixon, the most ce-
lebrated on the list of his weight, Which is two stone
less in= Green, or Smith. The present combatants
stood high on the list of second raters, and at one
o'clock on Wednesday, they met on the spot where
Richman and Wood fought, near Kingston, with
their seconds, Young Belcher and Blake, for Green ;
;o:d Paddington Jones and Clark, for Smith ;
bct-
tiu^ was 5 and 6t04 on Green. The contest wai a
Cisappointment to the amateurs, who mastered
strongly in expectation of a milling match worth
seeing. The combatants fought shy of each other,
lv.:t Green put in a sitmlachrr in the szcond round,
•!:1;icl; doubled :e his adversary, and rose the odds in
is favour. This was the only hit of consequence
Green placed during the combat ; and Smith, whose
greatest requisite is ruffianing his man, seemed as
much lost. He fought careful an.i hit but seldom,
but won :.he match, which was for twenty guineas, in
three quarters of an hour, without ranch harm to
either party.—Another battle much better contested,
w:;s between Lennox, a playful little lighter
f th. old sciml, and a novice, which WAs won by
Lennox.

A Nol tire HERO GONE !—On Tuesday evening, the
*lice celebrated Crab, who for some years shone a
bright kminary of the pugilistic school, paid the debt
ei nature, after a very short notice, on board a Graves-
end boat, on his return to London. This hero was an
:Ur of the science ; and after the revival of scientific
pugllism bv the contests of Ryan and Johnson, hum- :
I'kt-wand illendeza,and many other champions of note,
":z5 cf the most dazzliug brilliants in the gymnas-
tic nag, long before Cie Game Chicken was hatched
ilto notice, or the Beklurs, the Gullies. the Cribs, or
Crepons, were so much as heard of. Wormwood
0:-:ubs, and all the favourite boxing grounds, -were
Olen the scene of his prowess ; aid the Duke of HA-
-411.113N and all the noble amateurs of the manly art
in his day, were frequent witnesses of his achieve-
ments, Tee,;:k as the tree where name he bore, and
;.!•:r :4s its fruit to the feelings of his antagonists,
tas ailnwed to be one of thee most trouble- ,

customer: to his rivali in the contest for vic-

(,^Ntt.tity, and effect, rarely equalled, and seldomer
