Max ICILLSD.—An adjourned inquest was held at the
Bell lan, Pinchbeck, near Spalding, on Friday after-
noon, the 14th instant, touching the death of Thomas
Holden, an industrious shoemaker, who came by hie
death under the following peculiar circumstances :
From the 'widen,» edisked, it appears that the poor
fellow was partaking of some refreshment in a booth
at Peterborough fair, when he was struck by a bullet
from • neighbouring rifle gallery. The bullet passed
through his left arm and lung, and lodged in the cavity
of the chest. The services of three medical gentlemen
were called in, but the bullet could not be extracted, I
and be died • day or two after. William Pettitt, pro-
prietor of the shooting gallery, stated that the head of I
the bolt which held ths plate to the back of the target
box had been broken off, and that the plate had slipped
I down. He had not had an accident before, but he
I knew an instance where a ball from • gallery entered a
I window frame. (From the appearance of the wooden '
II box it was evident that more then one bullet had passed
I through it.) The adjourned inquiry 'kited onwards of
Ike hours, and the jury wets dismissed, not being able
to agree on the evidence. It is but fair to state that
the owner of the gallery did everything pceeible for the
wounded man. —Leeds Mercury.

On Tuesday morning • collision took place on the
Great Northern Railway, at Grantham. The accident

valuable merchandise, consisting of tea. silks, ka. One
of the train' left Peterborough at 12.20, and the other
at 12.50. The latter Main ran into the former at
full speed while standing at Grantham station, and the
force of the collision was terribe, aa the train was
travelling at the rate of between 30 and 40 miles an
hour. Twelve truck, were completely smashed up,
and both the up and down link were literally strewn
with Ma, One truck was cut clean in two, each half
standing some distant's from the other on two wheels.
The driver of the 12 50 train named Guest, and the
fireman were so seriously injured that their recovery is
despaired of. Tbe break-down pang from Peterborough

the supenntendence of Mr. Dance, the clink:kit sprat,
and Mr. Saki and Mr. Budge, the engineers, see hoe

ossaskeed in the Wane, but towards the end of the
day the line was again slaked. As to the castes of the
dlssater nothing is known, for the two men who alone
OSD explain it are co much injured that no etatement
ease be obtained from them. There la • clear reach, so
