Qlll,—The present age stands much indebted to your genius
for sour invaluable system of Writing. I and many others
of every rank and age will, doubtless, have cause to revere your

twenty years, having formerly wrote a scrawling hand very
troublesome to myself.—Yours, &c.,

Sir Robert Fitz Wygram, Bart.;the late M.P. for Wexford,
has ordrred'ar commodious castle to be erected on the site of the
ancient family domain in Ireland.
The following is copied literatim et verbatim from a sign-
board at Haworth, between Bath and Melksham :
" All rats and mice I do destroy
Except them 'ere what runs atvoy."

'TWILL BE ALL THE SANE A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.—
" This " as Sterne says, " I deny," founded upon the following
brief but well accredited fact of a former period. In the reign
of George 1., about 120 years since, General Oglethorp was in-
vited to dine with a cabinet minister, at eleven o'clock on the
fallowing day. The general could not go, and sent his excuse,
being engaged, as be said, to shoot snipe the neat morning at
Ma rylebone.
