Coombe's, Wakeham, to get herself • ha'. At titian •r
she had not returned; but, as she often went to
Baotou, to a friend ,tf her mother's, her parents were
not a'artned. When night came on, anti the little girl
heal not return-d, there was great anxiety, and per us
ad fr ends went out in search ; the loss wan announced
by the crier, and everyone was astir. It was the more
deplorable as the r. In was pouring down. In the
evening a young man gathering limpets on the rocks
petit the lighthouses foiled the child deenche•l and
tought her home. The poor little maid said—" I
bee. t seen anybody for such • long time." Parents
should see their children are started rightly when sent
on errands; in this cute the missinr of a turning mi.,ht
very likely have cost the child's life in some one of
those quarry
Dieastuse or Di. ASHRAM. We regret to
announce the retirement of a favourite offic-r, Dr.
Askham, from the prison service. The doctor hart
deeded his great skill and never-ceasing kindness to
the service for shout 90 year., end he leaves, of course,
with a pension proportioned to the length of his stay.
For some time past he has been suffering from ill.
health, lint we bops that change of air and scene at
Woking and • private practice will restore him, and
that for many years yet suffering humanity may have
the benefit of his experience and attention. He left
on Tuesday last, with the hest wi.he. of every one,
god we, with all who know the genial doctor, desire
for him and Mr.. Aslant= all good health. proeperity,
and happiness of every kind. From the highest officer
to the moat depraved convict Dr. Askhana was always
devoted to the iinties of his pmfeteion, even for the
lowest he ever had • word, kind if possible, and he
most le indeed • first-clats man who can fill his plate.
Not only among the moo era, he ever welc an., but the
offic•re wives all speak most gratefully of Dr.
