L4LIKITON ILLTILAVERS.

THE new church in this Tillage is in course of erection.
This is the third church which will have stood on the
name site within the space of 47 years. The old building,
which tradition bespeaks a substantial edifice of archi-
tectural pretensions, was pulled down and altogether
destroyed, with the exception of the tower, in IIME.
miserable building was substituted for it at a cost of DIM
which, from faulty construction and insufficient found.
tion, soon showed signs of serious dilapidation. That
second church is now being replaced by a third at an
estimated cost of £3,5011. The walls are just beginning to
spring from the ground; and •gri May 24th a memorial
stone of polished l'..rbeck marble was laid at the ens; end
by the Countwis of Eldon. The work is being carried out
by Mr. T. Gerrard, under the directions of Mr. 41. IL
Crickmay, architect.

on one of them by cutting the stern does not seem to have
occasioned much hurt, for that particular tree looks the

ANOTHER CHILD IN THE 'RIVER. —On Tuesday evening,
about six o'clock, a little boy naneel James Fumy, six
years •a age, whose parents live at the Grove. in St.
Mi.-It:fere-lane, was playing inside the mils just above the
West Mills, in company ciith other children. It Seen.* he
was amusing himself by sailing • little boat or piece of
wwel, and on reaching to take hold ef it lost his balance
and fell into the river, the water at the spot being some
five or six feet deep. His playmates leek.' on quite
innocently and raised no alarm, lea Mr. G. Milvertow
llierhie HIRAM, Who Worint at Mr. W. Fry's, was standing
talking to Mr. Draper, at the entrance of the yard, when
he saw it child's hand raised above toe water. Ile imme-
diately rushed to the rescue. plunged into the stream, and
succeeded in grasping the child, who in another moment
would have been drawn thmagh the hatches, under the
water wheel, and must have been inevitably killed. Mr.
Milverten handed the rescued boy to Mr. Draper, who
was on the bank, awl he was at once taken home. Are
hope it will serve ass caution to Lim, and the steatite&
of children who at this season of the year are so prone to
play by the brinks of rivers,

kind. as will be gathers,' front the following particulars.
On Tuesday evening, between five and six o'cleek, Mint
Marina Richard, who lives with her parents at the upper
well of North Allington, was at work hieing lucerne in
the "rick barton " at the nue of Mr. Henry Marsh's faun.
The cow was running in an orchard MAW, hilt it seems to
have broken out of that, and got into the lane, (sassing
down which the animal saw the young w mmmmm lan at work in

down, kneeling weal her, and using its hunts in a manner
quite the reverse of playful' The young WOlllllll 4hit not

happily no hones were broken, although she was very itmeh

To show the narrow escape she must hate had we may
mention that her dress awl underclothing were wen ta,

attack. On reviewing the spot where it took place, it
looked to us as if the animal hesl iieliherately walk.l

he appointed his partner, Mr. William Robert Moberly,
and another gentleman his executors and trustees. and IliNpost4l of his property substantially in this win:4—

fitting the city of Is4n4lon as the Semi may think fit. The
instrument finally provided that the Ileard shall have no
power to examine into or interfere with the accounts of

they have no right to question any accounts fanfialfed ti
them by the executor or trustee. The will has bees pro-
pourided by My Moberly, is executor, and the der...nitwit,
a brother of the deceased, has pleaded in opts:mitten to it
that it was not duly executed, that the deceased eas not
of sound mind, and that its execution was procured by the
%twine influence of the plaintiff and others. Mr. Inderwick,
fp'. (with whom was Mr. Searle), applied, in behalf 44 the

the Marenia de Nadaillac, husband of a party entitled in
distribution in case 44 intestacy, and supported the appli-
cation Dr. Deane. Q-C., (with whom was Mr. Bennett),
appeared on the part of the plaintiff, and opposed the
application, on the ground that the bulk of the property
of the deceased was in the partnership business, and that
in such cases it was not usual to appoint an administrator
proadelite We. His Imdship observed counsel for the
petition, had cited no authority for the proposition which
lie had laid down sate the practice 44 the Court, and that
where a Wee estate was the subject of litigation it was
Ironer, in the &I Kelloll of Bpedal cimumstances, to pit it
