ueeems beaming with delight, and main and again
joyful peals of laughter resounded through the air.
' But • few minutes later and the scene was sadly
changed, in the place of joy there was sorrow; instead
of laughter there wail deep Lamentation. The reason
for thin sad trandormation can be gleaned from the

village of Parkstone. the driver of the omnibus Charles
Am:freers saw several children playing in the road near

the road, end pulled the horses back, but the leading
herd, hind leg knocked down one of the children, and
the wheels of the omnibus (heavily laden) went, over
the body. Tim screams of fright and pain soon attracted
per,o,l from the houses adjacent and amongst these
was Mr.. Mels,*l the 'Wolof a blacksmith, who took the
injured child fre,m the man who bad picked her up and
took it to her b0i1.% and • medical gentleman who was
on the omnibus at the time followed her and examined
the child, but the i n juries sustained were .o severe thee
the little one wh use name was Elisabeth Jane

child was nearly tyro years and • half old. An

that at the time of the accident the
