SOMERSETSHIRE. 
The following very fingular circumftance 
lately took place in the city of Bath.—One 
of the children of the Sun, and character- 
ized as one of the darkeft of the race, by 
ft-ong and prefling importunity, had atlength 
prevailed on a very agreeable young woman 
of the city, to promife him her hanc inthe 
folemn rites of wedlock; and it feems that 
a multitude of {pe€tators had accordingly af- 
fembled around St. James’s church, to wit- 
nefs the union of the colours white and 
black together. The intended bride, how- 
ever, feemed to waver in her refolution early 
in the morning, and, indeed, defirous to de- 
cline the ceremony ‘altogether 3 but by the 
aid of fome confiderable prefents, the moft 
facred profeffions of eternal love, and the 
perfuafive rhetoric of Othello’stongue, fhe 
at laft affented. The proceffion was then 
feen to come ever the bridge from the 
‘Twerton road, (for there was Defdemona’s re- 
fidence,) and move flowly up Horfe-ftreet ; 
when, fhocking to relate, the fickle fair-one, 
either alarmed at the appearance of fo large 
a concourfe of people, or inftigated by the 
Caprice natural to her fex, flipped up one of 
the avenues in a populous part of the city, 
and got clear away, leaving the much-pitied 
bridegroom ina ftate almof bordering on dif- 
tra€tion. It does not appear that the in- 
tended fpoufe has fince relented; and her 
conduét certainly merits the execration of 
every one capable of feeling the pangs of Jif- 
appointed love. 
A gentieman farmer of St. Audries, in 
this county, having planted, laft fpring, 
fourteen grains of Spanith barley, it appears

278 ears, upon an average nineteen ftalks to 
a grain, and five over ; containing, exclu- 
five of lofs by birds, &c. 14,630 corns, of a 
very excellent quality.
