# AN AMAZON. The New Haven Gazette, says: At Fairhaven, on the 3d ult., Mr. William Potter was engaged with several other persons in hauling a cannon to a proper station, and otherwise preparing for a salute on the morning of the 4th. This mis-spending of time gave some offence to his good lady, and after every thing became quiet, she went out and spiked the gun-so that next morning when the bell rung, and her husband and others repaired to the gun, they found it in unspeakable condition. This lady, a number of years ago, (then single) at the time the Eagle Bank failed, in which institution she had some interest, threatened to chastise Mr. Hoadly, the President of that Bank, and actually came into the city and sought opportunity to carry her intentions into execution. She was abundantly able to do him what she called "equal and exact justice." Mrs. P. is generally a good wife and good neighbor-but likes her own way sometimes.
