An awful instance of sudden death occurred on
Saturday, at Ealing Fair; a decent looking contra. •
man, about 40 years of age, ascending a step booth,
sulggered and fell, and instantly expired. Mtn
were no papers found on his person to lead to a dn.
covery of who he was. The body was carried tot
public-house on the Uxbridge-road, to be owned.

two heifers, grazing near the bog, were carried Witi
the ground on which they stood a quarter of a mile,
and at last landed on an ascent. All the wheelbr•
rows, slanes, &c. &c. were buried,. a small river and
mill-dam carried entirely out of its course, and the
banks left entire at the verge of this rolling mass; a
gocid bye-road was torn up and scattered in some
places, and covered for a mile with the trees which
adorned it, to the depth of 15 feet and upwards.—
Upwards of 100 acres of Mr. Clibborn's grazing land
was covered in like manner, 20 of S. Moores, and
20 of Mr. Carey's ; the water of the river, fed by three
springs, is increasing, and forming a circle roundthir
mass ; it continued moving three quarters of an liar,
destroyed several hundred kishes of turf of the Rey.

and left the* whole of that neighbourhood literally
without bog, that they can either cut or make use
for the season. The solid land is torn up and rolled
along in one particular place in an astonishing ma*

occurrence in Scotland about fifty years ago, whys
part of Solway Moss was nearly moved into de
sea.—Entron.j
