228 Interefting Account of Thomas Garratt. eyes, often announced, to his relations and his friends, his warmth of attachment and eagerness to oblige; and fmall, indeed, is the number of thofe, whom difeafe has cut down fo early in the fpring of life, who will be remembered with equal tenderness by an equally large portion of their acquaintance. But his excellences did not generate fupinenefs. Moral improvement was with him an object of ferious and not an unfrequent meditation; and he had, in fact, within the last two years, made perceptible progrefs in the cultivation of feveral virtues. The nature alfo of his amusements, or the manner in which he entered into them, indicated the bright or the amiable qualities of his mind; and, when viewed in connexion with his folid acquifitions, juftified the conclufion, that he exhibited the probable prefages, and inherited the genuine ftamina, of future greatnefs. Among the methods of relaxation, which his own inclination pointed out, were mifcellaneous reading and rational converfation in the former, his choice of books; in the latter, the questions he propofed, the anecdotes he related, the arguments he urged, evinced his unufual ripenefs of intellect and verfatility of talents. Poffeffed of a well-difciplined eye, and a steady hand, he was fingularly dexterous in the ufe of a refracting telescope; and, being acquainted with the fituation of a number of the conftellations and of many fingle stars, he pointed to them with an admirable degree of celerity. Having melted pieces of glafs, he endeavoured to polish them, that they might SIR ferve as lenfes; and he formed an hygrome ter. The pen, the pencil, the chefs-board, and the tools of the carpenter, were by him regarded equally as the inftruments of amufement; and the atlas and the globe, the barometer and the thermometer, each, in its turn, fupplied him with entertainment. In the drawings which he executed, sometimes in a finifhed ftyle, and fometimes with more than ordinary rapidity, tafte and genius were difcoverable, nor did he tread in only one or two walks of the art: in the difficult game of chefs, though oppofed by various competitors, and by fome of long experience and tried fkill, he was rarely conquered and his hand-writing, in eafe, in decition of character, in exquifite beauty, was furpaffed by very few men of the most acknowledged eminence in penmanship. But his fedentary or domestic amufements, no more than his ftudies, were permitted to impair the ftoutnefs of his limbs, the clearness of his complexion, or the crimfon colour of his cheeks. Of gardening he was peculiarly fond. Carelefs of fatigue, and patient of heat and cold, he fpent much time in the open air, difcovering, in its recreations, an uncommon fhare of animation and activity, of courage and a spirit of enterprize; and, when he was merely walking, his tafte was particularly difplayed in his remarks on the picturefque objects and the glowing tints of the diftant landscape, and his vigilant curiofity was particularly excited by` the diverfities of the infect-tribe, and by the varied productions of the vegetable world. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE. BOSTON, Mar. 98. THE Solar Spot has been feen by me again, in its fourth revolution (three of which I have obferved) fince I firft faw it, the 1st of December. I again viewed it on the 20th, and apprehend it will be off the Fith the 31ft. It remains very round, opake, and well defined. I think there is little doubt of its reappearing about the 12th or 13th of April. *This letter reached us too late to appear in its proper place. MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. C. LOFT. THE business of Agriculture has gone on with unufual rapidity during the whole of the prefent month; confequently much grain has been fown, efpecially in the midland and fouthern diftricts. In the northern counties the weather has not been quite fo favourable for the operations of the farmer. The frofty nights and easterly winds have, in fome refpects, been injurious, though not fo much fo as would have been the cafe, had not gentle fhowers occafionally intervened. But even in thefe parts of the kingdom, the fowing of oats and barley has commenced on the dry and warm foils. Most of our reporters particularly notice the promifing appearances of the wheat crop. GRAIN feems on the whole to be a little on the rife. Of wheat, the average of England and Wales is 50s. Id. per quarter. Of barley, it it is 26s. 11d. And of oats, 17s. though not fo much in the northern as the fouthern counties. CATTLE. The prices of thefe have alfo advanced, efpecially of fuch as are in condition. Beef averages in Smithfield Market from 3s. to 4s. per ftone of 81b. and mutton, from 3s. 4d. to 4s. 6d. Hay fetches in St. James's Market from 40s. to 46s. and Straw from 22s. 6d. to 27s.

He was in the commiffion of the peace, and a deputy lieutenant for the county of Middlefex, and had been lieutenant-colonel of the above regiment upwards of 25 years. At Newcastle, in the 82d year of his age, Mr. Edward Mofeley, one of the aldermen of the corporation.

CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND. After a feries of long and anxious attempts, attended with an immenfe expence to the proprietor, (Mr. Curwen) the inhabitants of Workington were highly gratified on the night of the 19th inftant, by the announcement, with ringing of the bells, of coal being got at Union pit, at the depth of 58 fathoms. This fluft has been funk with great difficulty, to communicate with Chapel-Bank colliery, but to the eastward of a dyke hitherto unexplored. The accomplishment of this grand object opens a fair profpect to an incalculable increafe of trade and profperity to this town; and the extraordinary exertions of the workmen ftrongly mark their fenfe of its vat importance. From motives of refpect to the day, which produced an event, that, in its confequences, must prove beneficial to thoufands, as well as in compliment to the fifter kingdom, which occafions fo great a confumption of the article, the next fhaft that is funk in this colliery will bear the name of Patrick's fhaft. A plan has been adapted for making very great improvements in the town of Workington. There is to be one principal street, fixteen yards in breadth, flagged on each fide to the depth of fix feet, for the convenience of foot paffengers. Several cross streets are to be formed, to communicate, at fuitable diftances, with the prefent ftreets. Such is the prefent fpirit of building in this town, that three confiderable plots of ground, alloted for the above purposes, have been rented with an avidity bordering on rivalship.

Mr. Norman, hat-manufacturer. In the prime of life, Mr. John Atkinson. At the fame place, in the 67th year of his age, Mr. Jofeph Strong. This very fingular man, whofe extraordinary talents have been long the theme of admiration, was blind from his infancy; yet notwithstanding this `natural defect, he diftinguished himself by a wonderful proficiency in mechanics. At a very early age, he constructed an organ, without any other knowledge of this inftrument than what he acquired by fecreting himself in the cathedral after evening fervice; and thereby getting an opportunity of examining the mechanifm. His firft production in this line, though imperfect, was a work truly Surprifing for a blind artift. It was originally purchased by a merchant at Douglas, in the le of Man, and is now in the poffeffion of a gentleman in Dublin, who preferves it as a valuable curiofity. Having difpofed of his organ, he made another, upon which he was accustomed to play. By the time he was twenty years of age, he had made himfelf almost every article of drefs. The first pair of fhoes he ever finished was for the purpofe of walking to London, to vifit the celebrated Mr. Stanley, organift of the Temple church, This vifit he actually paid, and was highly gratified with his excurfion. He indulged his natural predilection to the mechanical arts, in making a great variety of miniature figures and machines, befides almost every article of household furniture. Thefe amufements, however, did not prevent his following, with great affiduity, the bufinefs of a weaver, in which he was an excellent workman, The powers of his mind were amazingly ftrong, and had his genius been properly cultivated in early life, it is more than probable, that he would have ranked among the foremost of thofe, who, deprived of the inestimable fenfe of vifion, have nevertheless foared with eagle wing, "beyond the visible diurnal sphere." Till within a few months of his deceafe, he was a conftant attendant at the cathedral; but not being able to accompany the choir in chanting the falms, he compofed several hymns, in a meafure which correfponded with the mufic, and which he fubftituted, as an act of private devotion, during the performance of that part of the public fervice. We do not know whether any perfon was attentive enough to copy thefe pious effufions, which were certainly refpectable, from the intention which dictated them; and for the obtaining of which he afforded ample opportunity, as they generally conftituted a part of his musical performances before ftrangers, and indeed that part upon which he fet the greatest value. He married at the age of 25, and had several children, fome of whom are ftill living At Whitehaven, Mrs. Dorothy Hodgson. Alfo, aged 83, Thomas Lutwidge, efq. He accepted the grenadier company in the Cum berland militia, when first raised; was in the commiffion of the peace 40 years; ferved the office of fheriff in 1767; acted as a deputy lieutenant till nearly four-fcore; ferved many years as a trustee of the harbours and turnpikes, and neglected no opportunity of rendering himself useful to his country.

After he had in vain attempted to extinguish the flames, he ran into the street; but, notwithstanding immediate af fiftance was administered, his limbs were fo dreadfully fcorched by the intenfe heat of the flames, that he expired in the most excruciating agonies.
