FATAL ACCIDIRT OR THR GMT WISTRIN RAILWAY.
—Shortly after daybreak on Wednesday morning the
dead body of Mr. Hill, a clerk at the Great Western
Railway, at Salisbury, was found in the centre of the
permanent way of the Great Western line, almost
within .Ight of the station. The deceased had evidently
been run over by a train, for the body was considerably
mangled, and appeared to have been dragged • yard or
two over the ground. He had been doing extra duty
for some days, and was, it Is 'tared, in the habit of
running up the line for exercise in the evening. The
I,oor fellow was about 22 years of am and the eon of
Inspector Hill of Devises.

ATHELH A UPTON.

AN A VAITUI OONCIIT to defray the imperias of the
Trent Vale Cricket Club, which vu so successful in
Its play dazing the put season, was given last Thurs-
day evening in the lehool•room, at Athelhampton.
The room was appropriately decorated with mottoes and
rani, and wee well filled by • liddhly appreciating
audience, who were only too liberal in their demands
of encore. These were, however, good-netaredly
accorded by mat of the singers, who either repetted
their pieces or substituted others. Mr. Slade kindly
lent his piano. The following varied selection of songs,
duets, and glees were on the programme :—" The
Anchor's Weighed ;" Dnett, "We have Wandered in
Dreama," "Wall o' the Wisp;" Glee, "The Smile;"
"Tell me Mary;" solo and chorus, "Maggie May ;"
"Mary I will wait for Thee," and, after an
Interval el ten manatee, which was pretilly occupied by
a musical box, "Tears, idle Teas ;" Duett, "0 give to
no those early flowers ;" "When all the world was
going;" Glee, "The Cbough and Crow," "0, who will
o'er the Downs." and. "The Death of Nelson."—Mies
Pike, of Wareham, had to accept encores for both of her
solos, which she eon iii future alone prevent by spoiling
her rich fall voice, and the eternale of her enamel..
Lion, which allows the hearers not only to enjoy the
words, but the mule of her songs. It is super-
fieousito mention the le& known ability and
talent of Mr. Joseph Homer, who was very hardly
worked with two solos, both encored, two &Letts, and
a part in two glees. A Dice little sehool•boy sang
"Maggie May" very clearly and well, and Ilmaa.
Roland and Maidment were mach approved in their
solu. The other performers were—Mrs. H. W.
Hawkins, Miss Bayly, Mies Squire, Mir Samson,
Miss Kent, Kiss 8. Vaisey, Meson. Holman,
Tome, and Was. Toros. At the ooneluelon, to the
delight of the rapturons "gallery," "God save the
Queen" was sang by the first soprano and tenor, the
whole of the performers joining in the chorus.
