"Dien Or • BROW Hsaar."—On Sunday night
Mary Taylor, an interesting and intelligent child. six
yews o/ age, living near Mattock, was so grieved at
the lees of her mother that her sorrow resulted in
death., • fortai•ht ago her mother died, leaving three
little children, Mary being the eldest. So grieved was
the that she cried Incessantly, On Sunday week, in the
midst of the service at church, she suddenly left, and was
afterwards found on her mother's grave, where she had
fainted. Every care was taken other by se mpsthising
neighbours, but she took to her bed, pined away, and
OsualaL died.
LIA the Commander-I'l.old of tho Con-
federate army during the great rebellion, died on
Wednesday, through congestion of the brain, at Lex-
ington, Virginia, aliege was 63 years mid 9 mouths.
Omani Lee's symptoms were not considered dangerous
until ffichdaY Diehl. He died calmly, and In fall
pommel= of his reason, expressing • sure faith iii
religion. His death ruses groat grief throughout the
South. Business in Virginia has been generally sus-
pended, and the Press, with few exceptions and
regardless of polities, extol the exalted purity of
character of the deceased.
PHYSICAL DISEASE—Tee Rev. J. L. Short, late of
Bridport, delivered the introductory lecture at the
opening of the winter session of the School of Medicine
In Sheffield. The rev, gentleman mid—" Physical
disease ia no mere asoident—it conies of violating cer-
tain well-known laws through ignonusee, or through
the pressure of unoontrolleble circumstances ; it
often born of grinding poverty, it is the fearfully pro.
life progeny of intemperance, vioe, squalor, and filth and
medical skill has to deal with the effects, of which
these are the oonducing cause. Dr. Lyon Playfair,
speaking at Liverpool last week, stated that our die.
obedienoe to the we of health involves the ruthful
saeriflee ef 110,000 lives every year, while 290,000 people
are needlessly sick all the year round. Bush feats and
figures are • disgrace to our oivilised age. But our
business is to diminish them with the last passible
delay.
Anode AID Hods CHESTNDTL—The Rev. C. F.
Watkins, of Brixworth vicarage, says—Both acorns
and bores chestnuts should be brought in pretty ripe
and day, placed upon • dry floor of briek, stone, or
lewd, laid thin at first and stirred till the danger of
hiding is past, then heaped up thicker, and after a
while may be stored in bins or arks like core, and will
keep good the whole year. They •re given whole and
raw to pick sheep and cattle, and if ground into flour
the darn is excellent food for fowls. The proportion I
give is from half a blithe" a week to • pig, according to
age and eh*, and halls bushel of the chestnuts to •
mild stew. A quart of darns a day would benefit •
sheep, It may not be altogether fabulous that some of
the seder egnigrante into Graeae used acorns (I should
suppose greed into meal) for food in detest of corn in
greet emergencies. And in the present and proipeative
state of France the experiment may prove the occasion
of preserving human lih from the destructive effects
of the utter &deaths' of all other edibles used by
man. I believe that, estimating these esculents at the
avenge prise of Is. • bushel, God his bestowed upon
these kingdoms, in the present year from • million to
two millions worth of property in this produce,

Thompson, of the E division, arriving there at 11 p.m.

obscene than the performance it is impossible to
imagine. It first sodded of individuals danaing,using
immodest gestures ; this was by both males and females,
and then a Frenchwoman performed, who on leaving the stage made a most bodement gesture. This was much
