proportion who are obliged to buy
water of the carriers, who procure il
from the well on Todenham green
which was dug and pump erected,
al the expense ofthe late Thos. Smith,
Esq. &c. in 1891. Mr.. Matthew

method of boring through the earth to

being made to the vestry, it was acce.
ded to Oh the part Of the parish, and
the work commenced. The ground
was bored to the depth of 1O5 feet,

ot boring the ground for water in

saw little woodpecllcr busily engaged
in perforating tall cherry tree. Pat

arming the bird, and after making two
or three observation-disclosures around the
tree, as the little feathered mechanic
performed similar revolution round its
trunk, he thought he at last got q good
chance for shot; so shutting both his
eyes fast, he biazed away. The bird
more scared than hurt BY the attack,
took to his wings, while Pat, sure as he
could be that he had brought down his
game, commenced searching for it "a
mongst the weeds at the root Of the tree.
As he was thus engaged a frog started
up before him and began hopping a.
round the tree:-Patin an extacy OF Joy

object of lis search, soon seized poor

BENJAMIN HAAG, of Reading.
has recently communicated very inter"
esting experiment which he has tried
for three years past with Swiss clover
seed, sometimes called Espsr or Esper-
set, which he procured in Europe. We
are decidedlyo of opinion that this seed
deserves the attention of the farmer. in
asmuch as it is highly productive and
the hay very beneficial to cattle. The
grass produces an abundance of rich
seed, and is as easily threshed out as
buck,vheat-seed. It's our sincere wish,
that this species of clover-seed NAV be
generally introduced, knowing from ex-
perlence that it win be an important ac-

IMPROBABLE. YET TRUE.

In the reign Uf Charles the Second,
French refugee Of the name of Du
Moulin was tried for coming, and never
perhaps was evidence from clrcumstan.
ces more conclusive of mans guilt
II was proved beyond all doubt, that he
had been often detected in altering false
gold; and that he had even made prac-
tee of returning counterfeit coins TO
persons from whom he had received
money, pretending that they we're a.
mong the pieces which had been paid
him. When the ol6sers of justice went
to arrest him and search his premises,
they found great number oil co1ntr-
felt coins in a drawer by themselves;
others packed along with good money In
different parcels; some aqua regla, Seye
raj files; a paic Of moulds, aud many
other implements for coming.
pa Moulin soemnly denied the charge.
The bad money, he said, switch was
found in heap. he had thrown together
because he could not trace the person
from whom he had received it; the other
parcels of money be had kept separate,
in order that he might Know to whom TO
apply should any OF it prove bad; as to
TIE implements Of coming, he knew
nothing of them, and could not possibly
account for their being found Shcre they
we're" A likely story truly! so thought
the jury, and so whispered every person
who heard it, Du Moulin was found
guilty, and received sentence of death.
A few days before Da Moulin Vas to
be executed. person Of the name OF
Williams, a seal engraver, met his
death by an accident; his wife miscar-
lied from the fright, and sensible she
could not live, she sent for the wife OF
Du Moulin, and revealed to her that
Williams, her husband, trad been one
Of four whom she named who had for
many years lived by counterieiting gold
coio; that one of these persons had hired
himself as servant TO Du Moulin; and
being provided with By the gang with
false keys, had disposed of very consid-
cradle sugs of bad money, by opening
bis masters escritoire. and leaving the
pieces there instead of an equal mum
Der of good ones which he TOOK out
The wife of williams appeared in great
sgony Of mind while she gave the &C
count; and as soon as it was finished,
fell into commissions and expired. ~ j,
The parties she had named we're, IN
the information of Madame Du souEs
instantly apprehended, and after a short
time one of them turned kings evidence.
The one who had been servant to Du
"oulin persisted in asserting his limo
cence, until some corroborating circum-
stances were produced, SO unexpected
& decisive, that he burst into tears, l. &C
knovledged his guilt, On being ask e how
the instruments for coming came into

when the officers came to apprehend his
master, he was terrified lest they should
be found in his the servant's( possession,
aud FASTENED to his box in which they
were deposited, opened the escriloire
with his false key, and had just time to
shut it before the officers entered the a
partment
Da Moulin was of course rarGoned,
and the servant and his associates most
deServediy suffered in his stead.
