declining, she visited Bath. On applicatioa 
to the faculty, bleeding was advised, an oper¬ 
ation to which her ladyship was unwilling ta 
submit; however, she consented; her eyes 
were covered, her arms bound, and her foot-, 
man employed to hold her. The instant sha 
felt the iance, her screams so terrified the 
servant, that he let go his hold, and, falling 
on the point of her elbow, whilst the blood 
was flowing, gave a sudden turn to the cur¬ 
rent, which produced an abscess, that baffled 
medical skill, and deprived fashionable socie¬ 
ty of ofie of its most facinatiag ornaments.

DORSETSHIRE. 
. A correspondent of the Dorchester Journal 
observes, that, though a few years since chs 
Royal Society recommended to farmers, that 
the best com should not be used for seed, 
the common farmer is prejudiced in favour 
of the idea, that the best seed is the most pro¬ 
fitable to be sown. “ My corn,” says he, 
this year has suffered much from the mil¬ 
dew, and is more shrunk than I have almost 
ever seen. I took twenty grains at random, 
some of which were so diminished, as to ap¬ 
pear merely shell, and such as, indeed, I did 
not expect to grow, and planted them in my 
gai'den, and oat of twenty grains, 1 have nine¬ 
teen plants, as hardy and strong as any maa 
could wish tc in his fltld.”
