FOUNTAINS ABDICT.—We have learnt with regret,
that during the storm on the night of the sth nit., ten or
twelve yards of the cloisters at these venerable reins
tell down. It is, however, the intention of Mr. Law-
renre, in whose beautiful domain of Studley the Abbey
is situated, to have them re-constructed.

eat or drink. The animal after so long watching with-
out success, hit upon a stratagem which he no doubt
