ktINERAL OF MRS. ARBUTHNOT.

This unfortunate lady, whose melancholy death
has excited such universal sympathy at home and
abroad, was buried last Wednesday in the public
cemetery at Berne, by special permission of the
State Council. The funeral was attended by the
members of the British Legation, by her husband,
Captain Arbuthnot, his father, Mr. Archibald
Arbntlinot, and hie uncle, Sir Robert Arbuthnot.
It appears from the medical testimony that Mrs.
Arbntlinot must have died instantaneously. The
electric, field streak her left temple, burning the
hair. It then passed downwards, blackening and
twisting alocket underneath her shawl, and bnrning
the right side and chest severely. There was
nothing about Mrs. Arbuthnot's dreto to attract the
lightning, though her husband and their guide
carried articles of iron and steel calculated to do so.
She was not sitting under • tree or near any pro-
jecting rock. Aooording to the guide's account, he
saw the lightning strike a few yards below him
and tun along the ground towards the spot where
Mrs: Arbuthnot was seated. Her sad fate has
created a great eensation in Switzerland, and for
centuries to come the melancholy death of the
beautiful English bride will he remembered in the
traditions of Interlaches.— of Monday.

ago.

3,4, and 5 of the Wollaston Field Estate, and suggest-
ing that the erown of the land there shcrild be lowered.

retaining wall along the northern boundary of Wollaston
Field, sod the laying a drain from the houses already
built along such wall, and through the Rev. Mr.
Watson's garden and the brewery store, connecting it
with the public sewer in Charles-street. They also ad-
vised the formation of a new road along the western
