One circumstance connected with this cor

replying to Liable, uses merely the sigma

ration of facts attested by several respecta-
bic witnesses. What his motives were for
50 doing, may not possibly be known; it is
likely they had no particular bearing upon
facts connected with this affair, and therefore
could not lead to any exposure Of the mystery

-" There was person of a noble family,
who was not able to bear that an old woman
should look upon him and being once drawn

The terrors felt by some persons at the
various phenomena of nature are less unac-
ceuntable. Thunder and lightning are often
greatly dreaded. Augustus was so much
alarmed at these meteors, that he earned
about him the shin OF calf, then thought to
be an excellent guard against lightning, and
during thunder storm, he sought refuge
under ground, in vaults or in celilrs.--Ac-
cording to Suetonius, Caligula, who laboured
under similar fears, whenever it thundcred
wrapped his head in some covering, or IT he
was in bed, leapcd oft of bed, and hid him
SELF under it. \ Bishop OF LanSras, Charles
d'Escars, always tainted at the beginning OF

eventually fatal to him, for when old and in

an eclipse, he was not able to recover, and
expired.
