dog. in fondling with him, he flightly 
bit her nofe, ana the appearance was fo 
triding that ic was not thought to require 
any attention. The animal however, not 
long after, bit a boy who wes playing with 
him, and diftovered fome fymptoms which 
excited alarm, and-he was therefore fecured.

pofleffion of every thing to make it plealaer, 
and endearing. 
At his hovfe in Rofe- Street, the vene- 
rable and refpeéted: Dr. George Chap- 
man, 87, formerly re€tor of the grammar- 
{chool of Dumfries, and afterwards .of the 
academy of Banff, both which feminaries he 
advanced to the moft flourithing ftate. He 
was avery eminent and fuccefsful teacher, 
not, perhaps, furpafled by any of his time, 
having fully exemplified in his practice the 
plan of his excellent *‘ Treatife on Educa- 
tion.”’ His literary attainments were very 
confiderable, and he devoted himfelf to the 
communication of ufeful knowledge to almoft 
the laft day of his life. His placidity of tem- 
per, correétnefs of manners, benevolence and 
liberality of difpofition, endeared him to 
every acquaintance and connection, and par- 
.ticularly to his pupils, who ever retained for 
him a filial veneration and refpe&, and ma- 
nifefted their attachment on many occafions, 
sby the moft flattering and liberal proofs. He 
took a cordial intereft in the fuccefs and hap- 
pingfs of his fcholars, and affiduoufly em- 
ployed his influence and pecuniary afiiitance, 
when requilite, to an extent fearcely credi- 
ble in his circum#ances, for their eftablifh- 
ment in life. A number of his pupils have 
enjoyed, or now occupy with reputation, dif- 
tinguifhed fituations in almoft every quar- 
ter of the globe, and uniformly retained and 
manifeited. their regard for their amiable in- 
ftru€tor. He expired without a ftruggle or 
groan, and literally fell afleep in the arms of 
his family, leaving a wife and two daughters 
to lament his lofs, and his friends to regret 
the removal of a moft exemplary charaGee 
At Glafgow, in his 68th-year, Mr. David . 
Dale; 5 whofe lofs will be long regretted, not 
only by his family, his relatives, and eieeias, 
but by his country; for there are few who 
have not heard of the chara&ter of this fin- 
gulanly: benevolent man, He had been infirm 
for fome years, but was only confiaed by his 
laft iilnefs for two or three weeks preceding 
his death. His was a life of benevolence and 
extenfive charity, without oftentation, with- 
Out price. Indeed, his conitant aim wes to hide 
from the eye of men his numberiefs a€ts of 
mercy=~even the individuals who were faved 
from wretchednefs and want by his liberality 
were often ignorant of the inftrument which 
Prcvidence had raifed up for their deliver- 
ance. Cans to the injunétion of the 
Matter whom he ferved, his alms were done 
in fecret—but they could not be entirely hid.
