W. Moore, sof Loughborough, _ bricklayer, a few days ago, laid a wa- ° ger of three Thillings, that he could, with' his hands fixed behind him, wor- ry to death'a Hedgehog with his face. He com mericed his extraordinary un- dertaking by proftrating himfelf on tne ground, and attacking the @xte- rior of bis prickly antagonift with his nofe. In a few minutes his face was covered with bleod, and he appeared to have little chante of fuccets-how. ever, at length having preffed the lit- tle antrmal-tll it- had protruded its head, he {ratched at it, and bit it off, thereby winning ths wager, to the great amufement of the brutal fpec- tators. e <> > | mui Sie CD Sig dims» - IMPORTANT DISCOVREY.

It can be obtained m _d the three following fources. /, 1 'The productive funds from which ariles the revenue of the fate. 2. The public lands. 3. A tax to be laid by on its inhabitants. By referring to the annual report of the Comptroller for the year 1813, it will be found that the productive funds of the ftate confifting principal. ly of loans heretofore made, and of tfic fate up- bank fock owned by the fate, pro- - duce an anual revenue of about 270,000 dollars. _. - This revenue with occafional ad ditional receipts into the treafury, is barely fufficint to meet from year to year, the permanent and cafusl ob- ject of expenditure incident to the counties _of prefent fituation-and-profpecs,;: there- inifhed if - charging-the tax. difpofe the s not -in the- ing the dire tax.- In making ig, ~ 0 - > - Loe . . 22 t> o no (ft ponerse commute wma) vinta licen tonian ms silico tn iinet an Aren an I man an to MORGAN. - amman />- Nuxsxa 15.
