Sally Jones "Around."
The Pamford Advocate contains the fol
lowing spirited advertisement, which does
its authoress infinite credit :
To the Public. Whereas my hus
band, Edward H. Jones, has falsely ad
vertised that I have left his bed and
board, and that ho will pay no debts of
my contraction, &c, this is to inform the
public that the aforesaid Edward II. Jones
had neither bed nor board for me to leave,
he having been living at the expense of
my father, under pretence of procuring
money to pay his way to Birmingham,
Connecticut; he borrowed a dollar of my
father, and with that he paid for his lying
advertisement against mc, and even after
this distardly act, he took all the money
I had. and borrowed every cent in my
mother's possession, and left town. For
the past three months he has been kept
from nakedness and starvation by the ex
ertions of myself and relatives; he squan
dered in dissipation all the money his in
born laziness would allow him to earn.
The scamp need not have advertised that
he would not pay debts of my contraction
for the public knows that he would note
ven pay his own. He is a lazy, ungrate
ful, loafing scoundrel; not content with
living at the expense of my relatives, and
borrowing their money, he publishes an
outrageous lie. His bed and board, in
deed ! If left to himself, his bed would
be nothing but aboard: and I should not
be surprised if the bed he dies on were
made of boards, with a strong crossbeam
overhead.
SARAH A. JONES.
A Jury of Females.
In the of year 1693 the body of a fe
female was discovered in Newbury under
circuirstances which rendered a coroner's
inquest desirable. A jury of twelve wo
men was called, and a copy of their ver
dict has been preserved. As it is about
as lucid and satisfactory as most modern
verdicts, we copy it entire in the quaint
language of the period. It was as follows:
"We judge according to our best light
and contients, that the death of said eliz
abeth was not by any violence or wrong
dun to her by any person or thing, but by
som soden stopping of her breath."
It is difficult to conceive anything more
beautiiful than the reply given by one in
affliction, when he was asked bow he bore
it so well. "It lightens the stroke," said
he, "to draw near to him who handles the
rod."
