inoffensive woman, in her sixty-ninth year, 

 named Ann Bnrge, widow, whom they 

 imagined had exercised tlie art of witch- 

 craft upon another daughter, who was sub- 

 ject to tits, and accustomed to e\!iil)it 

 strange inconsistencies of conduct at inter- 

 vals. The examination elicited a lament- 

 able degree of mental weakness and super- 

 stition. The perpetrators, it appeared, 

 were influenced by a person named Baker, 

 an inhabitant of Devonshire, wiio was vul- 

 garly believed to be a conjuror. They 

 seized the unfortunate prosecutrix, and 

 with a sharp instrument inflicted several 

 wounds upon her arm, and, but for the in- 

 terference of the neighbourhood, whom her 

 cries had collected, loss of her hfe would 

 have followed. Tiie prisoners were sen- 

 tenced to four months' imprisonment.

Proposals have been lately pnblislied 

 for the formation of an Institution in this 

 county, to encourage the culture of flax, 

 and to furnish employment for the poor in 

 this manufacture. It is a fact, that several 

 millions of money are every year peid to 

 foreigners ; whilst our own land, and the 

 industry of our own people, might be 

 brought into beneficial occupation by the 

 suras so transferred. An acre of flax, it is 

 said, may be spun into thread for making 

 lace, so as to yield from two to three thou- 

 sand pounds.
