A moment's amusement. Many years iince being in'n public cardan, near Philadelphia, iomc ol the company happened to exprNs their wilhes to peliefs this or have that, when a Sailor vvho overheard the converiution, fb pped op with Gcmltmen, permit me to tel! you what l vvifh i‘> r.‘* Being desired U > proceed, b * hid—“l wifhthati had three ship■ loads of needhs'—As much dread and cloth as the needles would make up into b.gs—and these bag 6 full of gold.” Relating the anecdote a few days ago to one of my neighbors, he laid lie would like to fee its pri . ndt calculated, observing, however, that the amount muff he far beyond any thing that the imagination could conceive—lb 1 put down the v.afh upon paper, ami dirt clod one of my boys to bting out a remit. lie luppoltd—the (Kps carty t 200 tons of r.mlUs, one hundred of which would weigh an ounce—.*m.l that each m edic on an average, would nioke up ao two bnflids bags. I!e found out that the bufhrl contains 2 15,0*! 2 solid inches, jsnd ill it a cupid inch of gold weighs 1002. lo ! grains. The products, omitting frac tion*.

Ido fay conceiv ed, for the ‘imagination cannot picture the amount. (Niles. A has been ba tufhed from the States of Parma, for loine unlucky fpecitnens of his art. Following a funeral proceflmn to Piadance, he heard the Cross ask on which fide he fhouid turn, having arrived at across way. Ihe Ventrilo qliilt, iinmirmifig the voice of the dec’d, said ‘ When l was alive l went on thir fide where we are.* Fhele words fprtad terror a mongfl the people pi < Cent, every one lied, and The dead was left alone. In another i.iflance un der tne portico, where wheat is fold, there is a provisional prison for those who diftorhe the mar. ket. The Ventilotjuit! sent forth cries as thole of a poor piifoner torn by a mad cat. All the in habitants of the town, together with Gendarmerie, and the troops cf the Corps de Garde, in consequence assembled, when the trick was difeovered, and the Vl iiloqui{l was arrested.
