LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND,» 
It deserves to be noticed, as one proof .- 
of the admirable skill the manufacturers 
of this county have attained, that a respec- 
- table individual of Leicester has recently 
spun a pack of wool into yarn, of suclra 
minute thread, that, were it extended, it 
would reach the length of one thousand 
seven hundred and seventeen miles and a half! 
A melancholy occurrence lately took 
place in the neighbourhood of Leicester : 
a person in respectable circumstances, 
without provocation, shot at and killed 
a drummer of the Leicestershire militia. 
The individual is in custody: he is sup» 
posed to be insane.
