F tt | garn * t so vile a cheat , and when he came in , hoped he said , that he hat ! not met with the enemy . Bat Goldsmith had met with him , and being examined b y the Doctor , found to his t&nfusion tnat Goldsmith had given him all he had .
Above two months ago , died at Boston , Mr . Kirk Root , born at O $ rby , who had resided there above thirty years , and by his industry had acquired a handsome fortune . He was a generous Englishman , and attentive to the wants of his fellow
creatures , particularly to those who were strangers in distress . Many such he found , and cheerfully relieved them , and at the same time diaeovered that his circumstances
were constantly meliorating in proportion to his liberality . May there pe many such , many who will become truly wise and happy for ever .

{ hope will be so rendered by this Ingenious translator . Another thing to be considered is , whether the curses in numy places of the Psalms and of the Prophets , should not be placed in the future tense instead of the imperative mood ; as when it is said , may such or such curses come

S * R , April $# * , rtIf . — - LADY has oommtmicated to mm A sorne remarks en the letter which you did me the favour of inserting in your interesting Miscellany fp- li > 3 ^\ % on the rite * of the Romish church as
they are celebrated in the grand seat of Christian idolatry . Bot before I give them t& you , I must take the liberty of correcting one or two typographical errors , which arose probably from the incorrectness of mv
harulwritinor . In line 35 of page 154 , wafer fs priuted instead of water . In the 6 th line from the bottom of . the same column , is Trausted instead of Transtib , a word meaning beyond the Tiber . The lady a bo ve * i Mentioned , observes that I have omitted
the blessing of the horses on the 17 th of January , and the blessing of two lambs on the 21 st , with whose wool the cloaks sent b y the Pope to the Archbishops are trimmed . The vvlto sauto is explained by her in thus
following manner . According to th * Papistical faith , as Christ was ascending Mount Calvary , Saint Veranic * gave him her handkerchief to wipe his face , and the impression of ttve features remained on it . This hand *
kerchief if you can believe it , is now in existence , and has been sacredly preserved since that time . In line 17 of pa «; e 155 , the images of the Virgin Mary , should have l > een the resei »» blances of the Virgin Maiy , and in line 19 read in representation of th * eternal feast- To the exposition on the 2 c ) th of December , is . to be added
that of the finger of the Apostle Thomas . Since writing my last letter to yoir » I have become possessor of a most invaluable relic , namely , a piece of the bone , what bone I do not kftowv
of the holy Apostle St . Thomas : it is so small that it might ahnost escape heretical eyes , but . 1 shall have £ « sti pleasure In shewing ii to you and to some of your readers . If either yscra or they nave any Aaubls upon the subject , I will do all that 1 can to
remove them , by shewing you * the testimonial of a venerable tnahof * who has signed it with bt » seal of office , ami if you think it worth y of a place iu your ] VJ isceU » j * y * X will seud you a copy of it , with . * transkhiioa . CimiSTIANUR
