An awkward and unfortunate mistake occur
red in the burial of Dr. Roberts The persons
who selected the spot unintentionally located 1T
on some family plat which had not been enclos-
ed, though several lost members of the house
hold were buried in it, Saturday Dr. Roberts
had to be disinterred, and removed to another
grave in grounds not engaged for other uses
ADVANTAGES OF Coop NATURE,-Somc
country people who possibly had been instruct
ed by the Tony Lumpkin Of the town, caught
sight of the Duke of Beauforts drag and four,
with his son driving, passing through Mon
mouth the other day, and on the horn being
sounded promptly hailed the equipage, which
the stagecoach bound for Ross, neighboring
town, They were informed that the coach was
going to Kernebridgc, but the Duke added
that he could take them part OF the way to
Ross The woman accordingly took her seat
inside whilst the man assembled, and it is un-
derstood that they subsequently expressed o
high opinion of the accommodation afforded BY
the Kernebridge coach. 1t is wonderful how
much piece of real good nature of this kind
on the part of "swens'' will, in England, some
times tell at the next election, or it may be
long years after, on such an occasion. Some
years since, when county in the west OF En-
gland was hotly contested, line old farmer
came up to the successful candidate and said
"You don't know me, sir, but know you, and
I've come this day to give you plumper u, e.,
unsplit votc); and have brought my two sons So
and three sons-in-law to do the same. The
IN. p" was profuse in his Acknowledgements,
but admitted that he had not the pleasure OF
recollecting his friend. 0Where upon the man
replied. ''Do you remember, sir, that one
winters afternoon ten years ago you were just
entering your park gates when you discovered
a man with a cart whose horse had gone dead
lame and who di1n't know how to get along3'
The M. Pr. fancied he did recollect sonle-
thing of the sort. "Wen, said the farmer,
II remember it well emo, - at any rate, tor you
told me to come into your house, had my horse
put up and attended to, and there l lived tor
three days, with my horse in your stable. and
when | asked you what there was TO pny you
gave me a sovereign !'-Loadon RIpeT.
