The & ammomgEBalR Tree.
Among the plants of Guina, one
Of the most curious is the cannon ball
tree Y grows to the height of sixty
ieet, and It's flowers are as remarka-
bic for their beauty and fragrance,
as IFS fruit for fragrance and contra.
dlctory qualities. Its blossoms are
OF delicious crimson, appearing in
large bpnches, and exhaling a rich
perfume, The fruit resembles enor-
NOUS cannon balls, whence the name
OF the tree, which has been attribu-
ted tothe noise which the balls make

lgraceiulness is ever united 10 The
magnilicence of nature;T there, the hid
den streams only reveal their pres,
e!nnce IN gentle murmurs, or by the
sllyery light which they cast upon
the rocks, or the soft sound as thew
!tnckle through the grass, or by the.
increased verdure with which they
endow the plain. But when the 81
lenceo OF nature is broken by one of
those violent hurricanes of wind,
which SO often, in the torrid zone,
blast all the hopes of the cultivator,
you may hear the fruit of the cannon
balltree, whose bursting produces an
oft repeated echo, that resembles the
rolling fire Of discharge of artillery.
From The shell, domestic utensils
are made, and the contents contain
several kinds of acids, besides sugar
and gum, and furnish the materials
Tor making an excellent drink in SICK
ness; but singular as it may appear,
this pulp, when in its perfectly ripe
state, exceeds whatever is filthy, stfn-
KING and abominable in nature, vet
the scent is remarkably vinous, and
so permanent, that on examining
some portions of the fruit that had
been preserved in rum two or three
years, the native oaor of The plant
was found to be so strong as TO rem
der the apartment almost insupport-
able. Insects revcl in this filthy and
disgusting pulp, Beetles and ear
wigs Iced uponit, while the forruicas
find shelter in the hollow of the She'll.

"A curious trial was recently held
at Middlesex Session. Thomas

her sister, who had come from Birm-
!!ngham, We're present, The latter

ised her, sweetheart that no man
should kiss her while absent. II
beng holiday time, Sayerland consid-
ered this challenge, and caught hold
OF her and PISSED her. The youn0
women as a joke, but her sister, the
defendant, said she would like as
little ofthe kind of funas he pleased
Sayerland told her if she was angry,
he would kiss her also; he then tried
to'doit, and they fell TO the ground.
On rising, the woman struck him;

scyffle she bit od'his nose, which she
spit out OF her mouth. The action
