that general uneahnefs prevailed in the ma

The Newport Mercury mentions, that a
report had prevailed in that town for feveral
days, that part of Kingaon in Jamaica, had
lately been deRroyed by an earthquake; but
it was thought to be without foundation.
From Swanzey we hear that on Monday
le'nnight farmer of that town committed a
young horie to the care Of Negro BOY, who
imprudenty tied the halter round one of his
legs, when the horfe taking a fart, ran away
with the boy, and dragged him over avery
