A SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.

On Sunday, at nonn, all extraordinary affair was
discovered at F.u-est-hine, near Ilford. It appears that
Mr. William Feast, a clerk employed at the Bishops-
loth station of the Great Eastern Railway, has been
residing some time past at 1, Carleton-cottages,
Forest-lane, with his wife and two children. For the
last week he has been iniscl from the office, and no
one was able to tell what had become of him. On Sun-
day the neighbours made a communication tn the police
with respect to the Frost family. The two children, aged
respectively eight and four, had been seen fnr some
days past running about in a 1,04 and neglected con-
dition, and nothing whatever could be seen of either
of the parents. The children were apparently shy, and
were either unable or unwilling to give any information
about what had happened. After some consideration
the cottage was entered, and a neighbour going into a
bedroom on the first floor found the unfortunate Mr.
Feast lying on the floor, not only dead, but quite de-
composed. Over the left eye was a fearful gash, which
had apparently caused his death. Upon entering an
adjacent room on the same floor, Mrs. Feast was found
upon a bed in a state of syncope, and apparently
dying ; she was quite tumble to make any communica-
tion. As it was evident no time was to be lost if her
life was to be saved, Dr. Sweeting was sent for. That
gentleman found hersutf ering from great exhaust ii and
prostration, but from what cause it was difficult then
to say. The doctor made an examination of the body
of Mr. Feast. Deathhad evidently taken place at least a
week ago. The remains had become perfectly black,
and highly decomposed. The mark of the wound over
the left frontal bone was quite distinct, and, in tint
absence of any other apparent cause for death, no doubt
is entertained that to that injury the unfortunate
deceased's untimely end is due. The parish autlonities
were at once communicated with, in order that due care
might be taken of the little children, and of Mrs. Feast.
The children were in the course of the afternoon re-
moved to the West Ham Workhouse, where their wants
were provided for. It was found, however, that Mrs.
Feast WAS in so critical a position that it was im-
possible then to remove her with'any degree of safety,
al she remained there for some time under the care of
Or, Sweeting. The cottage was in a neglected state,
and nothing was then elicited from the children which
at all tended to explain the 41eath of their father or the
helpless condition of Mrs. Feast. The affair has, as
may he imagined, excited a very painful interest in
West Ham and the neighbourhood, as well as among
the emplopfs of the Great Eastern Railway, by whom
Mr. Feast WM well known, he having been for several
years in the service of that company.

THE ASSASSINATION OF THE BANKER
JECKER BY THE COMMUNISTS.

A trial of two individuals before the Tribunal
Correctional Police, f. r usurpation of public functi4,ne,
has incidentally made kw )wit seine details of the arrest
of the Mexican banker decker.

The accused, 11:thine, aged :in, and Mel, 25, were
both employed under the ('immune at the Prefecture
of Police as heads if departments, the former in that
of lunatics, foundlings, itc., and the other in that of
passports. Mel bail been acquainted with Ramat
Itigault in the Latin quarter and obtained the appoint-
ment from hint, and :ifterwards Mtn tinted Dahme,
whom he ha •I 'moody known at Nlinhid. The last-
named, in the course of the trial gave the following
account id the arrest of Jecker
.6.A stranger came to the oilier ti obtain a visa to his pass-
port. I retuned him to RH, whose litudness it was, and
who took up the passport, and, observing the name, asked
immediately if he was the man ,d the Mexican hgulii, The
stranger replied in the liftirmative. Riel then said, .1 arrest
you, NI. decker, for ru have in your poSiession letters from
cued him
iii:‘,T.irl3,;.o:l;lllieredgwtouliti%te., said, Viii will
steps he may think hest. Riel had already called some
National Guards, who rushed forward in a fury on learning
that M. Jecker was there. I bolt the prisoner liefore M.
Rigault, who riled out On seeing me enter, accompanied
by some one, that he was never left for a moment at peace.
lie then asked me my business, which I told Min, nail Wan
about to witholmw when he called me back. I returned and
he seemed then to be talking to M. decker ON sit papers, and
to, be making him responsible for the Mexican war. The
delegate nf the prefecture then told me to take the hanker
gnardeol to Maras, with a letter which lie would give me.
I objected that I had work ti do, Init he mid, Yl.ll must do
as I order you. and hring nit a receipt for the prismier.'
made no further answer, as I dared not disobey M. Rigault.
I sent for a cal, and got into it with M. decker, while a
nail, trial guard without arms mounted on the Imx, anti sat
hy the nide of the coachman. The governor of Mama gave
the receipt as required and I delivered it in due course to
the delegate."

Rid, on being asked M explain his motive for arrest-
ing M. Jecker, said the latter had given him a false
name in calling him Ykre, adding that he had no idea
the Commune would commit such an atrocity as to
massacre him. Dainne, who, in addition to usurping
the public functions, had stolen from thepflice of the
. .

...
prefecture vanons lxioks, papers, and other property
belonging to M. Jauffret, whose place he hail hlleif,
was now sentenced to three yearn' unprisoument ;
in whose favour several witnesses appeared, declaring
that they had escaped fisim the I ,umlaute by the aid
of passports which he had furnished, was condemned
to 18 mouths of the same punishment.

Having read your article on " Wonderful Mush-

of them, and to my great surprise found it remarkably
good. I ern(' you the dimensions and weight of these

CRADLEY.

Tao MEKTING.-00 Monday afternoon a tea meeting,
organised by the committee of the Day School, was held
in the Wesleyan Schoolroom. About 300 were present.
After tea a public mteting was held, over which Mr. T.
Hymn presided, in the unavoidable absence of Dr.
Maline.—The Report, read by the master, Mr. N. Yen-
mons, showed that the achoor was in a very flourishing
condition. Four years ago he commenced with eight
boys, now there were 150 on the books, and an average
attendance of 120. Drawing was specially taught, and
Hi candidates had been examined by the Science and Art
Department, of whom 3'J were satisfactory, 12 proficient,
and 5 excellent. According to the requirements of the
Education Bill there was accommodation for 200.—The
Revs. K. Eland, W. Humphries, A. Palmer, sad T. Par.
her addressed the meeting, and after congratulating Mr.
leamous on his success, urged the necessity of having
religion taught in conjunction with the secular working
of the school. They enumerated its advantages, and
strongly deprecated the idea of a strictly secular educe.
tion.—Mr. S. Brazier, on the contrary, affirmed that he
believed in the division of labour, and p Anted out that
it was not part of a schoolmaster's duty to teach reli-
gion. Be strongly urged the adoption of the League
principles as the most wise and just.—Mr. John Brazier
urged upon parents to join their efforts with the teacher*,
and showed the importance of good home training. Be
delivered the speecu of the evening, and was loudly ay-
plauded.—Dr. Matins came into the room just when the
Chairman was returning thanks, and yielding to the calls
of the audience, he delivered a capital address, for which
he was heartily thanked.—The usual votes of thanks
brought the meeting to • conclusion.

A TALK WITH GARIBALDI.

Prier Lazzaiini, editor of the Corriere It ,S'anloema, who
lately visited tiarilialili In l'aprcra. has just puldislied an
account of his conversations with the Comeral. Among other
things he says :

" After we had chatted about the political and
national position of Italy, Garibaldi returned to the
affairs at Dijon (Jan. 21st.), and gave me some par-
ticulars about the combat, doing justice, at the same
time, to the heroic courage and firmness of the
Prussians. We hail,' said the General, '36. pieces of
cannon, and yet, in spite of a terrible tire, the
Prussians advanced flpfl.lo $1•1101,1. it 111114
confessed that the Prussians are the best sobliers
in the world. Never have I seen, in such a
narrow space, NO many dead bodies as at I )Ij, 41.
You may form an idea of it when I tell you that
in about the area of this chamber I instil 53
corpses'. Reverting to the present situation of
France, Garibaldi mulled : Believe me, it will Is,
long before the French par,t,m the Italians for coming
to the aid of the Republic. -For my part, I separate
the cause of the French locloplu from that of the I hau
vinists. The selfish rabble and the Chauvinist, hoth
roptired a lesson, and the harder it was the more
salutary for the co amtry. As to the 111a1111.•r in nilch

infirm, but I slo add he glad to see that fanatical thirst
for supremacy annihilated which always was, and is
vet, the main source f the misfortunes of France.
'With regard to the Italians, they must not line confi-
dence in themselves, whatever happens, for if they
again fail in the task set before them, they may take a
sponge and wipe out the name of Italy from the map
of Europe; ''

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Feast expired in the in-
firmary of the West Ham Workhouse, whither she
was removed on Monday. From the time of the dis-
covery on Sunday until her death she hardly rallied in
the least, and consequently she has died without
making any communication which would throw light
upon her husband's death. To the nurse of the work-
house she made some rather incoherent statement,
from which it was gathered that her husband died
on last Friday week, but that was the whole of the
information which onSl be extracted from her.
When the policx, entered the cottage on Sunday Mrs.
Feast was in her night-dress on the bed in the front
room, with a number of empty beer cans lying about.
The place was in a state of indescribable filth, and the
stench was sickening. Her body was covered with
sores, and she hail evidently existed for at least a week
in a semi-unconscious state. Mr. Feast's body was
found dressed, and it was covered by a sheet.
It appears that Mr. Feast and his wife were known to
give way at times to fits of intemperance, on which
occa,ions they closed the house for a week and hid them-
selves from the neighbours. In conewquence of these
habits Mr. Feast had been dismissed five times from his
clerkship in the goods manager's office ; but his know-
ledge if the details of business was such that on each
°mash m he was reinstated on pnenise of amendment.
A fortnight ago his brother handed him over a sum of
1:140, to which he was entitled as a legacy under a
bequest. A certain portion of that moncY was no
doubt squandered in drink, but what has become of
the greater portionof it hasnot been ascertained: 10s. fieL
was found on the elder of the two ckildren on Sunday.
On Saturday evening she purchased herself a pair of
fashionable side-spring boots at a slum in Strath.rd,
and, with the exception of rum and beer, this appears
tee its almost the only purchase made by any of the
family. There was, however, no lack I,f food in the
house ; there being a quantity of bread in a mildewed
state in the clipboards. All the inquiries •,f the police
have failed to ascertain whether a robbery bad been
effected in the hose. Indeed, the ease is as great a
mystery as when the lssly I.of Mr. Feast was fo 1111 l
sno Allured with blowl.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr. C. Lewis, coroner,
opened the investigation, touching the death of Mr.
William Feast, at the "Essex Arms'"f aveni, Leyton-
stone-11.d, Essex. The proceedings created the
greatest interest, alai the retort IV Ati ox,wiled. After
all the jury and the witnesses hail itssenibled a tele-
graph boy made his appearance at the court, and upon
the telegram being handed to the police, the inspector
said, " This case is ailjeturned until to-mormw."

a gentleman." Prisoner said she was going to the Lying-
in-Hospital, Birmingham, to be confined. About three
weeks after I again bow the prisoner, and said to her, "I
am surprised to see you so soon got over it." I asked
her where the child was. She said, 'lts a female
child," and that it was all right, and well provided for.

ance. In consequence of a female child having been
found in the Stour, and from information received I ap.
prehended prisoner and charged her with concealing the

A GRAND TOUR FOR YOUNG LADIES!

I The Del roll TriEtine announces that a lady teacher
in Michigan will sail for Europe in Jane with a clan
,of young ladies, the trip being more for instruction than
I recreation. "Four years ago," we read, Mrs. Stone
I took abroad a class of ladies with results of the most
I gratifying nature to all concerned. This second t-var
will be more extended than the first, and will occupy
about eight months. The class will consist of about
ten or twelve ladies, the object being information
rather than recreation—to learn history by visiting the
places made hiatoric by important even's, to study art
from the most famous galleries and collections of the
world, and to gain such knowledge of European Govern.
!bents and society as well-directed observation and
careful study can alone secure, The advautagea of
travelling in such a party are numerous, a It is ac.
corded many privileges which the ordinary tourist dare
not enjoy, and the expenses are very materially re.
ducat'. Classes will be held daily during the tour, so
that members of the party can gain much information
outside of the guide-book ; and erupt° opportunity will
be afforded to practise the modern languages. Mrs.
Stone is to be accompanied by Mrs. Be, rstacher, who
was formerly • teacher of Mrs. Anabel's seminary in
Philadelphia, and is an accomplished linguist. The
tour will include Irehrid, Scotland, England, Wales,
Belgium, Holland, the Rhine, the North and South
German Siates, Bohemia, Austria, Switzerland, Italy,
Constantinople, Greece, and pissibly Egypt."

KINGSWINFORD.

ROBBERY AT THE POST OIFICE.-011 Monday evening,
during the temporary absence of Mr. Eveson, post-mas-
ter, his hose was entered through the sitting-room
window, the cash-box found and broke open, about £lo
taken from it. Singularly enough, the middle compart-
ment, containieg upwards of £lO in gold. was not
touched. The unusual event of a robbery in King-win-
ford caused considerable excitement in the place on
Turaday, but this was soon allayed to some extent. Mr
Eveion having some cause to suspect a youth living in
the adjoining house, a search was made by the proprie-

tor, and the whole of the money was :found in the chins.
ney. The youth has been taken into custody.
A JUVENILE Brnolam—William Cox, a dirty-looking
youth (Id), was charged with unlawfully enteling the
dwelling.house of George Eveson, of Kingswinford, and
stealing the hum of £9 on the 22nd inst. Cieerge Eve.
son, postmaster, of Eingswieford, deposed: I keep •
stationer's shop. On the 22nd mat the case was in the
drawer behind the counter. About half-past seven the
money was safe. Went out at half -past eight. Fastened
the doors and was about au hour. On returning I un-
locked the back door. The sitting room window was
open, and a person could get into the shop through that
window. From what my wife said I examined the
drawer and the cash box, and found that the box had
been tampered with and broken open. 1:7 in gold and ft is 6d in silver had been taken from it. Examined
the room, and found that sonic one had got into the
house through the window on to the sofa. Also missed
some silver from a private drawer. Cannot say how
much ; and some silver from a tin can where the cash
box was kept. I then gave information to the police.—
Herbert Ayling, fishmonger. of Kintswinford, said the
prisoner lodged with him. Did not hear of the robbery
until the next day. From what I heard I searched the
prisoner in the shop, and found • new purse upon him.
I also watched him, and about one o'clock prisoner said
he wanted to go down the yard to the closet. I after sent
him to Dudley, and while he was away I searched the
house, and up the brewhouse chimney. Found some
gold and silver wrapped in some rag. I took it to lira.
Eveson, and gave it to her without opening. Prosecutor
was re-called, and said he received .69 in gold, and 2s 9.:1 'in eilver.—Police-constable White said he received the
' prisoner from the custody of Police-sergeant Hudson.
Went with the boy to the house, and prisoner said, poiLt-
ing to the chimney, that was the place where lie had put
the money. Prisoner said he got on to an old bench,
and then through the window into the h wise, and showed
me where he had the money from, and how he burst
, open the cash box.—Mr. Spooner said he was sorry to
I bay that prisoner was • clever little thief. He had a black
list before him, and it was no use sending him to prison,
bat he would give him a month, and at the expiration
send him ter • Reformatory for five years.
