THE CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

AAAAA LE &Cart —A short time sines as •
woman named Stevenson, residing in a cottage on St.
John'. Common, Bargees Hill, was engaged in her
household donee, she was alarmed by the screams of
her child, about two years old. The woman instantly
saw that the child had fallen into the well, and imbed
to the rescue. It is only a few feet down to the
surface of the water, which, however, is seven feet
deep, and the poor woman, in her maternal anxiety to
&IVO her offspnnu, threw herself head-foreinoet into the
well, and caught hold of the child as it appeared
• seeend time at the surface of the water. This was
seen by a Mrs. Harland, • neighbour. who arrivedjust
in time to catch the clothes of Mr.. Stevenson aa she
caught boll of the child. How the matter °marred
after this the women are unable to explain, bat the
mother contrived to hand up the child to her friend,
after which she fainted, and it was only by main
strength that she was g3t out. But as soon a. Mn.
Harland had disposed of the child by tossing it away
from her on the dry ground, she gave her whole ener-
gies to the rescue of the mother, who was alum saved.
Had it not been for the presence of mind shown by
this woman both mother and child must have lost their
lives.
DitXanruh ACTIDINIT ON THZ SHIT/MLR RAILWAY.
—An accident of • very shocking description occurred
on Tuesday on the Manchester and Sheffield Railway,
about two miles from Sheffield. Near the village of
Wardsend the line runs through • very deep cutting,
and the sides are no steep that greet danger is incurred
by any Iverson who ventures upon them. The 1.50 train
from Manchester came up to the place at • few minutes
to four, and the guard and driver saw two boys sliding
down the embankment Unfortunately, the lines curve
somewhat abruptly at the place, and there being a de-
scending gradient towards the town, the steam was
shut off, and the train was running in • comparatively
noiselem manner. The two boys neither saw nor heard
the train, apd just aa it got upon them they started to
run acrom the line, and ran right beneath the engine.
The whole train passed over them, mangling their bodies
most dreadfully, and, of course, causing instantaneous
death.

Many enquiries have been made reepecting the ingTs-
dients and method of prepuing the celebrated custards,
puddinp, and blancmange. which figured No prominently
to the dinners served up in Mr. Morrish's department
of the late Exhibition. The process of preparation is
simple, if the right materials are selected. These deli-
cious luxuries can only be made to perfeekon from

superlative recommendation "Kreeedingly excellent for
food ;" which leaves no room to doubt white is the
best Corn Flour. For invalids and children it is invalu-
able, and is highly reciommooded by the first
as the best lightest, most palatable, sad emit dhtistible
food. It may be obtained of every rospectable roar,
