Yorljhire, 



185 



the 20th of June, when a fliepherd's boy, 

 palfing near the fatal fpot, was attradled by 

 the howling of the bitch, which had pupped 

 at a little diftance, and was ftill watching over 

 her mafter. The boy immediately informed 

 fome of the inhabitants of Patterdale, of the 

 circumftance ; who haftened to the place, and 

 found the entire ilceletoii, exc-pt the fkull, 

 which was about feven yards from it, lying at 

 the bottom of a precipice of about tv/o hundred 

 yards ! His filhing rod was at the top ; and 

 a fmall bundle about halfway down. From 

 the frequency of the carc^fes of animals bsing 

 devoured by birds of prey, (which afTemble 

 there in great numbers) there can be little 

 doubt but that the fisiTi of the body wliicii 

 was nearly conl'umed, had fallen a facrifice to 

 tkofe voracious birds. About an hour after 

 Mr. Gough fet out from Patterrtale, a great 

 quantity of hail fell, accompanied with a 

 heavy fog, wh'ch continued over the moun- 

 tain the whole day ; fo that it is moft pro- 

 bable he had mift'td his way, when he met 

 with the fat»l accident. His remains were 

 collefted, and decently interred in the Friends 

 burying-ground at Tirril. The deceafed was 

 born in the fociety of Quakers, of which he 

 remained a member till about two years ago, 

 when, in conformity with the profeffed prin- 

 ciples of the fociety, he was excluded for 

 joining a volunteer corps. 



YORKSHIRE. 



At Headon, in Holdernefs, on the 6th of 

 July, 1S04, three fine fat toads and a large 

 worm, covered up in an earthen pot, were bu- 

 ried two feet within the ground, and the earth 

 rammed hard upon them. In Tune 1805, the 

 toads were taken up, but the worm did not 

 appear. The toads were in perfeft health and 

 ftrength, and in good fpirits, though appa- 

 rently fomewhat reduced in fize. 



Five of the thirty New Hull Dock (hares, 

 created under the powers of an aft pafTed in 

 the laft feffion of parliament, for altering 

 and amending the former Hull Dock Afts, 

 were lately fold by auftion at the Exchange 

 cf that town Tlie firft {hare produced the 

 fum of 1400I the frcond, 1370I. the third, 

 1360I. the fourth, iijool. and the fifth 1420I. 

 being, upon an average, 1390I. per rtiire. 



A correfpondent of the Leeds Mercury fug- 

 gefts the propriety of adopting tlie following 

 meafures for the improvement of that popu- 

 lous and thriving town: i To rent the vi- 

 •ar't houfe and the fi. Id adjoining, and there 

 to ereft fpacious fhamblcs and a prifon fuited 

 to the increafed population of the place. By 

 removing the Ihambles, a new carriage road 

 would be opened of nearly the fame width as 

 that on the back of the /haniblcs ; and 

 much facility would be given to trade and 

 fifety to foot pafl'cngers, by ordering that 

 the meeting of carriages Ihould be prev'ei;ted 

 by thole going up the ftreet taking one way, 

 and thofc cominf^ down the other. 2. To 

 build the vicar a handfome houfe in the Croft 

 ;kelongiiig to St. John'-s Church, fituated in 



M«>;tiilv Ma«. No. J33. 



Land's-lane, allowing the Incumbent an ade- 

 quate yearly coraoenfation fcr the ground. 

 3. To remove the pile of buildings from the 

 prifon incluilve to Kirkgate-end. 4. That 

 the ruinous houfes oppoftte the Angel Inn 

 fliould be purch-ifed and pulled down, whereby 

 an ufeful recefs would be made for the fale 

 of vegetables or any other commodity. This 

 p'.^n has the advantage of being a ftep towards 

 mo'.-e exte.nfive improvemen's, whrn they can 

 be realized either from an increafe of wealth 

 or of public fpirit. To carry the improve- 

 icents here fuggefted into efFeft, it is pre- 

 fumed, that ample funds might be raifgd, 

 either in the way of Tontine or or the plan 

 of Turnpike fecurity ; and, perhaps, the ex- 

 ertions cf fome men cf influence and confider- 

 ation in the town, would be fufficient to fec 

 the machine in motion.
