The overseers of the roads contiguous

unpleasant to travellers in carriages, and

A hard beaten path by the roadside and

would seem, should not be in any wise
a hinderance to the improvement of the
carriage rosd, and such a path is unques-
tionably great luxury to the man who
is obliged at the close of his days work,
to walk from one to three or more miles |
to market aud carry his provisions to his

is a genius Of shark which inhabits the
Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic
Ocean, and occasionally is seen on the
British coasts. The snout is short and
conical the spout holes are very small (;
the mouth is not so large as that Of the
white shark, nor the teeth so formidable
but the Fox Shark is extremely bold and
wiracious. readily attacking grampuses or
dolphins much larger than itself its
most remarkable peculiarly is the great
of the upper lobe OF the tail
fin which is nearly equal in length to the
whole body, and Into which the vertebral
column extends. OF this it makes use as

S the first specimen ever caught in this
