A Wonderful Memory.

A teacher OF mathematics named
William Lawson. who died in Edin-
burgh IN November, 1857, on one occa.
sion to win a wager made by his patron,
undertood to multiply regularly in
succession the numbers from one to
forty. without other aid than his mem
ory. He began the task at seven
o'clock in the morning and finished at
elk in the evening. when he reported
the product, which was tested on paper
and found to be correct. 1t made a
line of forty-eight figures. and a fair
copy OF it long occupied place on the
wall of his patrons dining room, for
which it was framed and glazed. 1t
may be added, that in the course of the
day on which the mental calculation
was made, Mr.. Lawson received his
pupils as usual and gave them their
ordinary lessons in Latin. lu.-lBelgravia.

A man was cutting turf on Monjoy
Hill, at Portland. Maine, lately, turned
up with his spade metal bar, which,
except for a glistening point where the
spade struck it, looked like iron. The
suspicious CLEAN caught his eye and
induced him to carry the bar to an
assayer, who pronounced it fine gold
aud estimated its value at $3.50. 1t
is coniectured that the ingot was buried
in the early days of the colony, either
by some official to prevent its capture,
or by some freebooter who had helped
to plunder spanish treasure ship.
