best for the first reading lessons of Children for
whe as a source of amusement, it conveys to their
minds correct idea of the forms Of the numerous
animals of the earth, it will they gradually learn
to read and comprehend its meaning, furnish them
with description of the principal qualities of the
different animals, and prepare them for more ex-
tended inquiry into the structure and functions of

Friday last, Mr.. Edward Norton, (son-in-aw
of Mr.. Elijah Smedley) of this town, in com
pany with two or three others went to the
barn for the purpose of weighing some hay.
Having assembled the scaffod and thrown
down sufficient quantity of hay, Mr.. N. sat
down and slid off from the NOV, which was
only six or eight feet from the floor. He
had slidden only about two feet when he
came in contact with the handle of
pitchfork, which had'been placed by the side
of the scafold. His whole weight pressing
on the stale of the fork it entered his body
for about ten inches, and was stopped in its
progress by striking the backbone when
he swayed over and fell on the floor. AS
help was at hand he was Immediately con-
veyed to the house where he fingered for
80 hours in extreme agony when death put
a period to his suferings. Mr. Norton was

IMPORTANT ADJUDICATION.

Rfr. EEfor-I send YOU for publication in the
Gazette, pro bono ptbiico, an adjudication, by
Magistrate of this town, interesting to our citi-
zens, as reversing former uSages.
The defendant in this instance, a Constable,
claimed per cent. commission for receiuing
from the debtor the amount of a ;supersedeas
bond, which he had improperly retained in his
possession, in place of returning it to the Magis-
rates Office, from whence tue warrant had, in
the first instance, been issued-statng that he
was entitled to that commission, having adver-
Used himself as general Collects, and, further,
that il was the custom--the - common tG,o' OF
the ConstabIes; or, the Constable common Law.
The plaintiff objected to the charge-statng
that he had not employed him as his agent; that
the defendant had sell-constiluted himself SUCH
without any authority; that, although no lawyer,
he had always understood that the Common Law
was founded on the imprescriphbe usage OF CEN
turtles: whereas, this Constable commoa law was
of day-in this instance was in the teeth OF
Statute, quite reversing the order of things-ard
founded on extortiOn; the plaintiff further re-
marked that this Constable in his prdnanccs-a
cat may look at king in an adage--Ousht to re-
fleet on the fate of Charles the l0th-his expu-
sion from the royal sway; & take warning from
the example.
The Magistrats decided in favor of the Plain
tiF; the Constable was ordered to disg0rge.
