SIR, 



IT is often to be obferved in cows and 

 llieep, certain fibres growing from 

 the lungs to the lides of thefe animals, 

 which every one converfant in the Jevvilh 

 cultoms knows they pronounce them un- 

 clean, or difeafed. 



Some of your numerous readers, 

 through the medium of your valuable 

 Mifcellany, can inform -me if it is a dif- 

 eafe, and how curable. I believe it more 

 generally happens among the young of 

 thefe fpecies. I think it very fmgular 

 that fucli an opinion fliould till the pre- 

 fcnt period be perlilled in, if founded 

 upon vague notions. ""

SIR, 



I SHALL be much obliged to any of 

 your intclligenc Correipondeuts vvlio 

 can inform me, through the ciumnel of 

 your ufeful Magazine, at what period 

 the uie of chimes in cluirches.was intro- 

 duced into England. It is certaan they 

 are not an Englilh invention. Dr. JBur- 

 iiey, who wrote the Hiltory of INIufic, 

 fuppofed thcrti to be originally of Flan- 

 ders, where, and in Iljlland, they arc 

 more common than in this country. 



At Glicnt, Antvvcrp, Aloft, and feve- 

 ta\ other of the large towns of the Ne- 

 therlands, there arc a i'pecies of chimes 

 called curilloHs, which have frequently 

 tliree oftaves of bells. Thefe are not 

 played by clock-work, but by nitaas of 

 ropes failened to the clappers of the 

 bells, which communicate to kcj/s like 

 thofc of a harpfichord or organ, on which 

 the carilloncitr (or curillon-plui/cr,^ plays.
