A few days ago, JAMES LEITH, a young man, servant to Mr SKENE of Skene, after performing a hard day's work, viz. two yokings of a 4-oxen plough in unimproved ground, undertook, for a trifling wager, to bag one hundred stones, each placed at the distance of an ell, within one hour! He accomplished his task within 52 minutes.
