_Macaulay's Young Levite._--I send you an advertisement, from a local

paper of 1767, which shows what stipend was offered to a curate at that

period. The population of Burton Bradstich and Shepton Gorge, in 1821,

was respectively 854 and 311. I do not know what it was in 1767.

The value of the rectory of Burton, with the chapelry of Shepton, was

returned, in 1650, as 201l. In 1826 it was computed to be 500l.
