YEOVIL.

A CHILP RIDE—On Monday an aged lady, whose
powers of hearing and seeing have experienced bett
days, took • shining excursion ticket from Yeovil to
Weston•super-Mare. Here she alighted and spent the
day by the sea.side. Returning to the station in the
evening, she got into the Bristol train and was conveyed
to that oity, arriving just in time to miss the last train
down. Having made clear her ease to the authorities.
she was directed to mailable lodgings and informed as
to the time she should depart the following morning
for her home. She presented herself at the appointed
hour and war placed in • carriage. The guard of the
train on arriving at Tiverton, happening to oast his eye
towards a third-olass carriage, espied his charge seated
as comfortably and chattering to the other passengers
as unconcernedly as possible. She was here again
informed of the mistake she had made, but in the
blandeat tones answered, " Lor, bless 'cc, it don't
matter tuppence, I got nobody but aqui' at hone." The

TORTURED BY INDIANS.

The Echo is responsible for the following horrible
tale, and it ie feared that the Thomas Hayward spoken
of lea son of Mr. Hayward, butcher, of this town :
" CAPTURE OF • TRAIN BY INDIANS. William
Id'Hoore, an escaped Indian captive, arrived overland
at St. Joseph, on July 26, with the details of one of
the most bloody Indian outrages of the year. About
the middle of June he started from Paw 'Valley, Tense,
with 13 other drivers of Blackburn's Government
train, for Fort Sill, Indian territory. While crossing a
stream east of Fort Sill, they were suddenly attacked
by 150 Cheyenne. and white desperadoes. A. battle
followed, luting • few minutes. Seven teamsters
were killed, one waslwounded, and the rest were cap-
tured. The Indians tomahawked and sealped the
wounded. and took li'lloore, John Jones, Thomas
Hayward, Henry Brown, Harry Jackson, and another
prisoner. They bound then, and sent them to the
woods under guards. What disposition was made of the
train is not known. The day after the battle ono of the
party attempted to metope, and was killed and scalped.
Tb• y marched two days in a northerly direction, and on
Friday they halted, when the Indians tied Jones and
Hayward to a stake, cut out their tongues, lopped
off their ears, and otherwise tortured them in the
presence of other prisoners, and than burnt them to
death. lei'lloore and the two others then determined to
make an attempt to escape. A few hyits after, while
loosened the cards of the captives, one got free, stole a
knife from • sleeping savage. and freed his companions.
This was on the sth inst. After marching some days
nearly naked they were fed by • friendly band of
Pottowattamies. They reached fort Riley on the 12th,
nearly exhausted, and lli'Moore, proceeded to Leaven-
worth on foot, took rail to St. Joseph, where he has
friends. He declares that one-fourth of the band were
white desperadoes, under Stanley, the Radom Texas
outlaw. They are dressed as savages, and participated
in the cruelties with Indian zest. They ha I also with
them as captives Mrs Bowman, of Guadeloupe Moun-
tain. Texas, and • beautiful white girl named Emma
Bailey. It Is supposed the bond belongs to the tribe
• who made a demonstration on Fort Sill during Sher-
; mare+ visit. Whfoore's credibility is vouched for by
; reputable citizens of St. Joseph."

drunk and assaulting her infant child, Elisabeth, aged
13 months,
Mr. Alfred Kempe, • medical gentleman residing in
Oxford-street, said that on the previous night, about
12 o'clock, while coming up Park-lane, he heard a
cabman say to the prisoner, "You brute. you do not
deserve to have a child at all," and on passing over be
saw the prisoner shaking her infant in • most brutal
manner, and swearieg at it in a very horrible way. He
told her ho should uot let her go till a constable came,
and then she set to abasing him, and on a constable
coming up he gave her in charge. The child was in a
very bad condition, and appeared to be suffering
greatly. no doubt from the poison it had imbibed from
the prisoner, who was evidently a drunkard.
The prisoner avid the child wanted the breast, and all
she did was to tell it it should not have it.
In reply to the magistrate, Mr. Kemp) said the child
would benefited by being separated for a time from such
mother, and would get better in the workhouse.
Mr. Knox said he was much obliged to Mr. Kempe
for the trouble he had takes. He ordered the child to
be taken to the workhouse, and committed the prisoner
for three months with hard labour.

I Jumps, where he ascertained that the prisoner had
called and had some conversation with Mrs. Carrington,
by whom he was admitted ink, the house, Mr. Carring-
ton being absent from home at the time. Shortly
afterwards loud screams were heard by the servants,
who on rushing into the front ball saw Rodway
and Mrs. Carrington struggling together, and the
floor bespattered with blood. The man at once
left tho house, and Mrs. Carrington, although
badly wounde I, managed to ran for protection
to a cottage occupied by • man named flosither, in the
immediate vicinity. A walkingstiok belonging to Rod.
way, and a large spring-hashed °lmp knife, the blade of
which is nearly five inches in length, where picked up
on the spot where the affray took place. The weapon
was covered with blood, and perfectly new. Dr. R..
Williams, who accompanied the superintendent of
police, at once attended Mrs. Carrington, and applied
the usual remedies. She had sustained three punetured
wounds, one of which had penetrated the middle of the
back to • considerable depth, and another the beak of
the left arm, which it completely passed through, pene-
trating the chest between the fourth and fifth ribs. It
is possible that the lung was also entered by the blade.
Mrs. Catrington was conveyed home in her carriage,
and remains in a weak and dangerous condition. Rod-
way, on leaving the house, made his way to • neigh-
bouring inn, where he was apprehended by the super-
intendent, and was removed in custody to the pollee.
station at Farnham. He inflicted no less than seven
stabs in front of his chest, and on the left side, evi-
dently attempting to strike the heart, but the weapon
being diverted by the ribs, failed to accomplish that
object, causing only long wounds. He also indicted •
severe wound in the front part of the right arm, and
his clothes were matured with blood. The outrage is
stated to be the result of jealousy, the prisoner having
paid his addressee to Mrs Coringten prior to her
marriage with Mr. Carrington two years ago. He is 52
years of age, and was formerly • private in the 4th
Dragoon Guards. He has lately gained his living by
backing rar 'horses.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST CHOLERA.

The medical department of the Privy Council has
just issued some excellent precautionary recommenda-
tions against tha infection of cholera. It is explained
that very probably during the next month or two • few
clues of the disease may be imported into this country ;
but that these oases, should they occur, will probably
not °cession much injury to the population of places
thus exposed to infection if they have had the advan-
tage of proper sanitary administration. The document
describes the mode in which epidemics of cholera are
produced. Cholera is not contagious in the same sense
as small-pox or scarlatina. Und,r ordihary °lrma-
prances the patient has no power of infecting other
persons except by means of his dhoharges ; nor any
power of Infecting evim in this manner, except in so
far as particles are enabled to taint the food, water, or
air which people consume. The local canditions which
directle Fpread eh dere are those which permit the ison•
tainmation of drinking water by the poison in the dis-
ch ar gee. Hence we are told that to, much importance
cannot in the first plate be attached to the precaution
of thoroughly disinfeatinr without delay all discharges,
as well as all bedding, clothing, towels, and the like.
which may have been tainted Informed as all water
companies must be of the calamitous influence of bad
water in previous i pidemicr of cholera, they are re-
minded that if the disease should again find its way to
this country each of them iu its daily distribution of
water has butiAreis, and even thousands, of human
lives in its hands.

A GIRL WITH A "MONSTER" IN HER
STOMACH.

There is a curious story of • girl of ten years, who
has been troubled for • long time, we are told, by some
living creature in her stomach. There has always been
• good deal of unoertainty as to what the HAI° monster
might be ; but of late the girl's parents luckily bethought
them of taking her to certain learned physicians. They
think it is without doubt a snake. By putting the
finger on the stomach, where the creature can b 3 dis-
tinctly seen to lie, it quickly changes it. position ; and,
even when the finger ts within an inch of the stomach,
it will as quickly move sway. All theae changes pro-

creature with her hand in her throat; but had to let

THE AOLNCOURT.

With refrence to the stranding of her Majesty's ship
Agincourt, the Admiralty have decided to supersede
Vice-Admiral Wellesley rind Rear-Admiral Wilmot, as
well as the captains ot the ships in which they carried
their flags. Tois severity will bring considerable odium
upon the Government in influential social circles; but
it will probable dos good deal towards rehabilitating
Ministers in the estimation of their more advanced
supporters.

THZ BRIDGE.

Z.° next business waa Mr. Collett's report as to the
state of the Bridge, anl what steps should be taken
thereon. The Bridge has got out out of level, and it
WEE recommended that it be brought to • level by
chipping.
Mr. WEBB thought that the more they out away,
the worse the Bridge geta.
Mr. Collett was called In, and stated that the bed
was perfectly level, so that if there had been any
settlement, it waa equal, but from uneven wear of the
rollers, or some ether cause, this side of the moveable
pert is lower than the other, and there is difficulty
when the Bridge is to be shut.
The lisioa asked what would be the expense of
putting in new rollers, so as to make a more permansnt
job than the chipping would?
Mr. Coasts had estimated that some time ago,?and
and thought it would be about WO.
It was agreed that Mr. Collett should do what he
had suggested.

BREACH 1010 PRONLISE.

At the Norwich assizes "Add Won v. Soonlar," was •
ease in which a young man brought an action against
an old girl for breech of promise of marriage. The
lady pleaded no promise, gni that the plaintiff was of
a drunken and dissipated character, and, as such, unfit
to marry her. Mr. Salyer, Q who appeared for the
plaintiff, was as oomio as the Great Vance, and his
•speech ought to have finished with a song and break-
down. He chaffed about the rights of women. with
the object of porsu•ding the jury that there was no
impropriety in asking for damages against a woman.
Mr. Bulwer is not well up in the Woman's Rights
doctrine. Our fair foes claim all the rights of strength,
without relinquishing any of the pieties's of weakness.

time when women would be towers. But we will quote
a few lines from the report before us :

ation at the pertinacity with which ladies will be, in the
anatomirl schools, studying the mysteries of the science of
