their clutches and fix its local habita tion either a few feet deeper in the earth or off in some other direction once about 18 years ag mr hoselton contrived so far to baffle the enchant ment us to drive his jackknife into the chest and although he and others have frequently since hud hold of the knife which they can easily enough open and shut yet none of them have ever beui able to extract it from the cherf once mr ilosle- tondug down to the chest and struck out a chip with his axe which chip hfl has now hi his pospbt- sion ht dmatetrwtovr whfct kind f wobrux is it is ol a redhh color ho

better how to baffle the wiles of his dcvilship it is no small part of the marvel connected with this wondrous affair that whenever they com mence jigging all sort of m ghosts and spirits and gobtiss damned play their demonical pranks around the spot hens and geese and turkeys and turkeybuzzards be sides manv other species of gwuttfmil about from one treeto another cackling screeching and

and within the small ones and raking the bark from top to bottom of the big ones they always draw a circle around the spot before they commence digging sometimes with the blnnd of sheep nr lambs but oftencr by stringing a cord around over which the iuipsofenchanimtmu cannot come and woe be to the man who is caught outside the circle while the process of digging to undergo ing better for him that a miltstone was hung about his neck c a fellow was once caught napping outside the circle and was nolens volens csti twehtyor tmrty leer and most unceremoniously flung upon the earth again so much stunned by the operation that it was a long time before he cound be again brought td his senses at another time mr- hosleton and another per son had dug down to the chest which was found about four or five feet below the surface when nil at once as mr uosleton was standing a short dis tance from the embankment and his companion was digging m the bole he saw a volume of smoke suddenly issue forth the man at the same time sink ing two or three feet deeper into the earth and the earth caving in upon him mr hosleton immedi ately ran toh relief and catching the man by the hair of his head essayed to drag him out hut the man was planted too grmyfor mr ilosel tons cor poral powers he couldnt move him a peg- ano ther expedient however suggested itself to his mind which happily succeeded sir- lioselums horse was standing near by which he immediately led 10 the spot and succeeding in getting u hitch around the mans neck and under one arm he pulled him out the man was apparently dead hut mr

mouth was huge and round presenting the appearance of a bull ul fire and he uttered the most hideous pcrccches and groans the company as might well he imagined were considerably nonplussed but iioverlhnevt imr hoselton hung on to thejactcknifc with fair pros pects as he supposes of dial time obtaining the chest but asthe individual who held the iron bar had raised his weapon for a second

opened in staicai halifax nn the 27th novem ber by the new governor sir colin campbell the chief topic of his speech was the quit rents a bone of contention between the late governor and the house of assembly we have extracted the following paragraphs i have been directed to take the earliest opportu nity to expresethe regret which ilia majesty has felt that the offers made to the house of assembly at the commencement of inst session respecting the surrender of the revenue belonging to the crown had nut been more favorably received and as the variety of views entertained upon the subject and the difficulty of adjusting opinions appear to forbid the hope of any satisfactory agreement i have in consequence received his majestys commands not to repeat the offer of surrendering the casual and territorial revenues in exchange for a permanent ciil list no other resource within the province is availa ble to his majesty except the quit rents which are reserved to the crown in the grants under w inch the proprietors of laud hold their respective titles and although this branch of the royal revenue had the advantage of operating very equally upon every part of the province is light and moderate itself and is so justly apportioned upon the landholders ac cording to the number of acres that they posses yet the collection of it has been deferred for several years with the hope that some substitute would be provided for it by the legislature but all proposals which have been made for that purpose have tailed l the effect has been to deprive ills majesty du ring the period while they remained under discus- sion of the revenues due to ihe crown fioutf this source his majesty has now no choice left but to direct tile quit rents to be collected it is not without much reluctance thai flis majesty has recourse to this measure bnt the necessity of the eaeels appa rent the iudispeusible offes of the government numt duiitrnvhm iflhllc rvih l which has extended

confusion for want of sufficient means to maintain institutions which are necessary to the ex istence of every couunuuity i have the satisfaction however to acquaint you that i am still authorised to abstain irom levying the quit rents should the assembly make in lieu of them a permanent grant to the crown of two thousand pounds sterling per ttltuum should you gentlemen deem ii desirable o ttf commute them it would be the means of fiec iog the landholders from the payment of a rent of neatly triple the amount the collection ol which might prove irksome and inconvenient to them buthuuhl you
