one very remarkable particular.—I am told, that in her
seemingly inanimate state, she was all the while perfectly

SINGULAR PRODUCTIONS OF NATURE.
On the 7th of October 1803, an Aurora Borealis was
seen at Errol in Scotland, between eleven and twelve at
night, of most brilliant appearance :—not only were there
a great number of bright and vast columns perpendicular
to the horizon, but all the atmosphere in the Northern
quarter of the heavens, was covered with one continued
gleam of lightning.
A Cucumber, lately ent in the garden of C. Wilson, Esq.
of Empsall, weighed 5|lbs. and measured 304 inches long,
and 14 inches in circumference.
A Potatoe was dug up last month in a garden, belonging
to Mr. David Knight, Brewer, at Arbroath, in Scotland,
of most extraordinary size; its largest circumference
19 inches, the least 17 inches ; it weighed two pounds nine
ounces : it is the kind known there by the name of Ame-
rican Tartar.—There were nine other potatoes at the same
stem, weighing on an average, sixteen ounces each.
A Turnip.— Mr. Mutch, at Murtle, (Dee-side,) pulled
one up on his farm, the beginning of October, weighing
eighteen pounds.
Full and authentic Account of Mary Squires and Eliz.

peculiarly diverting.—He could give a particular account
of every house they called at on their journey from South
