"FOUND DROWNED!"

One of the most remarkable cases of drowning that
has perhaps ever occurred in the River Thames has
been investigated at the "Prince of Brunswick,"
Brunswick-street, London, by Mr. \V. Carter, the
coroner for East Surrey. The body, which has been
for some time past lying in the Mortuary at Christ-
church, Blackfriars, has afforded to the medical pro-
fession and others an opportunity of witnessing the
complete development of what is known to the faculty
as adipocere, or in other words, the conversion of the
tissues, by chemical decomposition, into soft waxy
substance through being submerged at least from
two to three years in mud or sand. Serjeant Langridge,
of the L Division, was present on behalf of the Com-
missioners of police.
From the evidence it would appear that William
Addison, a dredgerman, was plying his vocation on the
river, at the west side of Blackfriars-bridge. One of
the iron hooks of the dredge, deeply embedded in the
mud, caught hold of a hard substance, which, on
being brought to the surface, he found to be a
human body. Upon its removal to the mortuary,
Dr. Worboys, of I'Mackfriars-road, was directed by
the coroner to make an examination. That gentleman
was unable to state the age of the deceased, who was a
female. Upon tapping the body with the knuckles
of the hand it was perfectly resonant. The head was
entirely denuded of hair, and round the throat was tied a
piece of ribbon: which had evidently formed a portion
of a bonnet string, and which was the only vestige of
anything pertaining to clothing found. The eyes
were missing, as was also the nose. The muscles of
the jaw and face were still present. The right leg was
off at the knee joint, and in his opinion the MiSSillg
limb was still embedded. The whole of the internal
organs were converted into a solid mass, and were
as hard as the surface. The muscles of the
left thigh and the body generally, on being cut
into, had the appearance of discoloured wax,
which condition plainly indicated the time that
had elapsed since the submersion. In reply to
the jury he (Dr. Worboys) considered by the appear-
ance of the deceased, whose head was resting on the
left hand, that she might have been asleep at the
moment of her death. At times women, at the spot
where the deceased was found, were in the habit of
gathering bones and refuse washed up by the tide, and
probably, deceased might, accidentally or otherwise,
have become embedded in the mud. Ile could not
tell whether her death was the result of violence or
not.

After the coroner bad commented upon the re-
markable condition of the body, the jury returned a
verdict of "Found drowned."

DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.

Mr. Payne, the coroher for the City and Borough
of Southwark, has held an inquest at Guy's Hospital
on the body of Amelia Andrews, aged ten years, re-
siding with her parents at Uxbridge-place, Newington,
one of the 15 persons who in April last were bitten by
a rabid dog.
Mr. George Andrews, carpenter, father of the de-
ceased, said that on the 29th of April last the deceased
was bitten by a mad dog, and severely wounded about
the face. She was taken to Guy's Hospital, where she
remained five weeks, and was then sent home to all
appearance convalescent. She went on apparently in
good health until Monday morning last when she com-
plained of a choking sensation in the throat. She was
brought to the hospital, where she expired on Wednes-
day evening in last week.
Police-constable Wells, AI, said that on the 29th of
April last the deceased was brought to him by two
men, who stated that she had been bitten by a mad
dog, which was then running along Newington-cause-
way. \Witness finding that the child had been seriously
injured, advised its immediate removal to the hospital,
He then went in pursuit of the animal, which had by
that time got some distance down the Walworth-road
He got a cab, and, having overtaken the brute,
jumped from the box and killed it, but not before it
had bitten 15 persons. He was unable to say to
whom the animal belonged or where it came from.
Corroborative evidence as to the rabid condition of
the animal was given.
Mr. Henry Williams, the house physician to the
hospital, said that on the 29th of April deceased was
admitted to the hospital suffering from a severe dog
bite over the left eye. Cauterization was resorted to,
and on the 29th of May deceased was discharged, ap-
parently cured. On the 14th inst., however, the usual
symptoms of hydrophobia set in—deep sighs, heavy
breathing, an intense desire for liquids, and total in-
ability to swallow them. The paroxysms increased in

THE MARKETS.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.-MONDAV.
The imports of foreign stock into London last week coa-
-1 listed of 22,121 head. In the correaponding week last year
we received 14,806; in the year 1e72, 18,164 . in 1871, 17,875 ;
in 1870, 12,029 ; and in 1860, 13,072 head. There has been no
feature of importance in the cattle trade. Full average
supplies of stock have been on offer, for which only a
moderate demand has been experienced. As regard.
beasts the receipts have been good, but the quality,
as usual, has been rather various. For prime breeds
a fair inquiry has prevailed, the best Scots and crosses
selling at 6s. 4d. to 6. 64. per 815., but secon-
dary and inferior qualities have hung on hand. From Uli.
, colnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we have
received about 2,000, and from other parts of England
about 500, from Scotland 30, and from Ireland about
200 head. The foreign aide of the market has been
I fairly supplied with beasts, for which the demand has
I been quiet on former terms. In the sheep pens there has
I been a good supply of stock. The position of the trade
has been unaltered, sales progressing qvietly at last
week's quotations. The best Downs anal half-Mamie have
made Is. 4d. to Is. Gd. per 81b. For calves the demand

THE STORING OF FRUIT.

The storing of fruit is an important matter just now,
for the lucky people who have fruit to store. In ordi-
nary households the waste of fruit is enormous when
the damp dark days arrive, for by that time decay has
proceeded some distance amongst fruit that has been
carelessly gathered, and afterwards bruised by rough
handling, and perhaps heaped up in damp corners to
" sweat," as the first stage of rottenness is politely
called. Directions for gathering and storing fruit have
been published 80 frequently in the horticultural papers
that we should have no excuse for returning to the
subject, were we not well aware that the precious
gifts of Heaven are in very many cases so waste-
fully managed that we might doubt if the real value
of good fruit is understood by thousands of people who
own gardens, and profess to esteem their products.
It may be that the gardeners perform their part by
gathering the fruit at the right time and in the
right way, and deliver it up to the housekeeper in
the best possible condition. Then begins the process
of deterioration. The lots are poured out like corn
in the corners of cellars and store-rooms, and in due
time the heaps ferment, and distribute through the
household poisonous odours. Then the apples and
pears are looked over, a vast proportion of the
bulk is found to be rotten, and some rational method
is resorted to for the preservation of the few sound
fruits that remain. Supposing the fruit to be gathered
at the right moment, and in a nice condition of dry-
ness and absence of bruises, the indoor management
begins, and on this everything depends for the supply
of the table until the next strawberries are ready. Some
people have good fruit-rooms, and other people have
only unoccupied coach-houses, wine-cellars, thatched
sheds where poultry lodge, and curious shanties that
one cannot find a name for. Now, we are anxious to
have it understood that long-keeping fruit may be
nicely kept in any place that is dark, dry, cool, and
sweet, with a perfectly still air and with means of ven-
tilation when needed. -The Gardener's Magazine.

RAILWAY LIABILITY FOR UN.
PUNCTUALITY.

The Tone, has published the following letter
the ohecure case of "Courtenay v. the Lon-
don end North-Western Rai: way Conspiw-y,' tried in
a County Court, is not likely to appear in your columns,
and yet has its significance, I venture to call your at-
tention to it.
I was among the many persons put to much incon-
venience while travelling teat autumn in consequence
of trains arriving too late for the passengers to continue
their tourney by the train they were timed to meet.
In my cane this Involved some expenditure at an
hotel, and I applied to the London and North-
Western Company, on whose line I was travelling,
to be reinibareed. Tan usual answer was cent to
me—viz, that if I looked at their by-laws I phould
are that they did not bind themaelves to arrive at
the time slat d In their published tables. Being
of opinion that the extreme nnpunctnality, com-
mon on many of our English railways, ia a
prodfic cause of the accidents we have s e often to
deplore, I determined to try the issue between the
public and the companies as to whether they, having
acquired a virtual monopoly of the means of lac t.nc-

CRADLEY HEATH.

ADULTERATED MUSTARD.-At the Old Hill, Police
Court, on Wednesday, William Pritchard, grocer,
was charged with selling on the 10th lust, to one
Samuel Toy, 2oz. of mustard, the same being adul-
terated. Mr. Cartwright appeared to prosecute.
Samuel Toy proved that lie purchased 2oz. of
mustard from defendant's shop, on the above date,
and afterwards gave it to Mr. Horder. Mr. Horder
said he forwarded the mustard to Mr. E. W. Jones,
to be analysed, and produced a certificate which
showed that it contained 24 per cent, of wheat flour
and turmeric powder, the latter in small quantities
and not injurious to health. Mr. Horder said this
was the first case he had brought before the public,
aml he should be satisfied if defendant paid costs.
The Bench remarked that it was a very hard case,
and recommended defendant to get bills printed in-
forming the public that he would not warrant the
mustard pure. Ordered to pay costs. Mr. Cart-
wright asked for attorney's fee, which was not
allowed.
