LYE.

SHOCKING DEATH FROM Bintirixo.—On Monday
last, an inquest was held at the Royal Oak before
R. Docker, Coroner' touching the death of Maria
Farmer, a girl aged 5 years. From the evidence
adduced it appears that the child was picking
gleeds on the embankment of Messrs. Rufford and
Co's Works, Hungary Hill, on the Wednesday
previous when her clothes caught fire from the
hot embers. Assistance arrived as soon as possible
and the child was conveyed home, and received
medical attendance; but her injuries were so
great that she died on the following Friday night.
The Jury returned a verdict of" Accidental
Death."

SOLDIERS AND THE HARVEST.

A Dor mahlre Farmer " writ,a Co The Til/1"8:-

In your imam of Wednesday yon have a very inter.
eating le ter on the price of coal. Pernapa the public
would like goo to know how the Government, by its
interference, help to raise the price of corn.

I bold a farm adjoining a fort, and, av the artillery-
men stationed tuere h +ve not much to do, two of
them c +me to me and said, "If you will show us to
have a piece of ground in which to grow potatoes we
will help you in h +rvevt." To this I consented, and fir
sotne years this arrangement has been carried out. This
year, &Mint a week ago, I received a communicati In
from the officer in common,' to the effect that I mu,t
send him a note stoking for the Nerviern of the men in
stiou when cif duty, for a reason that I will state
presently.
I di I so, and at the end of a week (in harveet-time,
remember) I received a note from him to say that he
hail forwarded my application, but had not, as yet, re-
ceived any answer. Consequently, with every pro-
spect col a wet harvest, I am deprive I of at least one-
tenth of my force, which will keep the corn out longer,
at greater risk of loss and damage.
And cow for the cause. Last year two infantry
regiments in Oxford helped to take up the harvest,
there being • strike in that neighbcurboid ; so • knot
of organized idlers in the E tst.end, or, rather, for the
organizition of idlenees, threatened the Government
that their displeasure would fall on it if the tro +ps were
allowed t help again, should there be a stril•P, pre-
ferring that the food of the people for 12 months th old
perish than that it should be taken up ta quickly as
possible.
The Government did as they were bit, and sent out
on order, Ac.. one of the results of whi 1 I beg to be
allowed to make public in your next issue.
may add there is no strike, nor has there
been one, in this neighbourhood.

SERVANTS IN AMERICA.

The d'ilicalty of oht sitting good servants has long
been a subject of complaint in New York. and some
light has been lately thrown upon the question by the
report of the Commisdoners on the "Free Labour
But ran" (says the Pall Mall Gazette). This bureau
was established in 1869, when a clause was inserted in
the tax levy of that year appropriating the PIM of
10,000 dollars for the purpose of opening "a free in-
telligence office for the poor and stranger Reeking em-
ployment and information." The expenses of the
bureau gradually reached the sum of 21,333,66 dollars,
or about 11,000 dollars more than the appropriation.
This, however, the Commissioners think, would be a
matter of sUght importance if the institution had be.
come in reality a medium of exchange between the
honest, well-meaning, and well-behaved servant and
the clasbes in need .d he'p ; but it appears tbat the
institute, n has become the resort of "nomadic servants
that wander from place to place, from 'nig' ress to Mild re- s
with no known intention to remain longer in one
plat, than it may suit their tem orary whim and pur-
pose." ['he Commissioners, therefore, recommend, and
their recommendation has been adoptsd, that the
bureau shall he continued for three inontha under •
semi-midtary discipline, and tiwn, if it doia not work
latter, that it he abolished. It is peobable that the
true cause of the growing difficulty of obtaining or re-
taining good servants in this country is in a great
measure the growth of "registration offices," which
have sprung up like mushrooms in all the big towns
during the last few years. These offices and the in-
creased facilities of locomotion have converted domes-
tic servants front faithful retainers into a "nomadic
tribe," and they restlessly wander from place to place
like unlaid spirits, too often finding their last home in
the prison, the lunatic asylum, or the workhouse,

THE BAZAAR AT HIGLEY PARK.

The bazaar which opened at Bagley on Wedneeday
last was so well-arranged in every respect that, het
for the unfortunate contretemps of bad weather,
large number of visitors would no doubt have best
attracted to the park, and contributed to the snows
of the undertaking. The rain, which set in before
noon, effectually marred the first day's attendant
and receipts, and although the sky cleared in the
evening, it was then too late to expect the afternoon's
shortcomings to be made good. A happier choke
could not be made than Hagley Park for a bazaar,
for it is one of those places whose attractions "w-
-aive long knowledge, and the scrutiny of years."
Lord Lytteltou, with his customary good feeling,
readily accorded the use of the park to the committee
who were managing the bazaar, and whose objects
are to obtain a fund for the repairs of St. Thomas's
Church, Stourbridge, and for the redaction of the
debt on the vicarage. Owing to the unfavourable
weather on Wednesday, the committee decided to
keep the bazaar open a third day, which we hope will
materially swell the receipts. A handsome new
marquee had been erected for the purposes of the
bazaar by Mr. Griffin, of Birmingham, and the gene-
ral appearance of the interior is exceedingly pretty
and effective. The marquee is 120 feet in length,
and space is economised and convenience secured by
grouping the stalls in the central part, instead of
round the sides as is ordinarily done. Mr. Allen, of
Birmingham, has been entrusted with the decorations,
and has carried them out with his usual good taste.
The profusion and variety of articles on sale is very
great. The stalls are kept by Mrs. Sherrard, Mrs. R.
L. Freer, Mrs. Sherranle children (stall of toys),
Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Broomhall, Mrs. Shearman, Miss
Stringer, and Mr. Archer Clarke. A refreshment
11 was provided at one end of the general stalls,
the interests of which were attended to by Miss
Fisher and other friends. At the opposite end of the
tent there was a stall for the sale of useful articles
of clothing made by the girls at St. Thomas's
Schools. Mr. Stringer, of Stourbridge, had one of
Imhoff :enterpeons in the bazaar, 11 bleb played at
intervals during the day. There was also a remark-
able exhibition of works of art in one department of
the bazaar, which proved to be a source of consider-
able attraction. The proceeds of the first day ii sales

THE GLASS MAKERS AND CUTTERS'

FETE.

This fete of the season took place on Monday
last, in a field at Pedinore, kindly lent for the
occasion by Mr. 11. Shutt. The weather in the
morning was anything but favourable for out-
door amusements. Drizzling rain descending
at intervals which tended greatly to damp the
ardour of the promoters. The members of the
trade began to assemble at the Marquis of
Granby soon after ten o'clock, and the procession
started soon fter the time appoiuted,headed by
the " Star Band" with a banner in front, and
the Committee en route for Pedmore. Then
followed the number of the association each
one carrying 8011113 insignia of the trade, as
, goblets, tumble's, wines, jugs, and articles in
j the trade. One lean carried on a glass stick a
bird cage made of coloured glass and a canary
in it, another wore a glass" hat," and the whole
presented a very gay appearance. The Drum
! and Fife Baud of the Militia of Worcester. was
the next band, and the Brierley Hill band
brought up the rear. On arriving at Pedmore,
rain again descended and fears were entertained
that it would be a wet day; but as the day wore
on old " Sol" put in an appearance. The result
was that some five or six thousand persons
attended the fete. The " Brothels Alfrano"
gave their gymnasts and trapeze entertainment,
and were loudly applauded. The Ricardo
Troupe gave their comical acrobatic entertain-
ment amid great cheering. Dick Sanders, the
comic vocalist, also gave Eeveral of his well-
known comic songs, amid roars of laughter. At
intervals the three bands played selections of
music, and the whole appeared to be a success.
There was an excellent display of glass in a tent
set apart for an exhibition, and the following
firms were the exhibitors :—Messrs. Davis and
Co., the Dial (Pass Works ; Mr. J. Webb, Coal.
bourn Hill Works; Messrs. J. Parrish and Co..
of Wordsley ; Messrs. Hodgetts and Richardson,
of Wordsley ; Messrs. Webb, Dennis Glass
Works ; Mr. P PargAer, and the United Flint
Glass Cutters'. Messrs. Davis's was a tine
display of painted vases; Messrs. Webb showed
some tine jugs, decanters, &c., as did Messrs.
Parrish and the other firms. During the day a
great number visited the show unit appeared
delighted with the exhibition. We must not
forget to mention that there was a tine displsy
of flower vases by the United Glass Cutters',
which was munch appreciatEd. The committee
appeared indefatigable itt carrying out the
arrangements and all appeared to give satis-
faction.

CHARGE AGAINST A LICENSED VICTIIALLER.—AA the
Petty Sessions, at Old Hill, on Wednesday, before
Messrs. F. W. U. Barra and N. Hingley, Benjamin
Billingham, landlord of the Old Bell Inn, was charged
with having his house open during prohibited hours, on
the 19.11 ult. Police-constable Beard said that he visited
the defei.dant's house at a quarter-past twelve, with
Police constable Grady. lie found in the kitchen tw.,
woman. They had a cup of ale before them. A man
was in the house drunk. He called for a quart of al. ,
and put down sixpence, but the ale was not brought. The
defendant's son ran into the parlour, and said that it
wanted 20 minutes to one o'clock. On going in t , look
at it, he found it was only 20 minutes past 12. He asked
Mr. Billingham the man's name. He refused to give it,
and said he did not know. Defendant's son was also
drunk, and defendant himself was fresh and smoking a
pipe. He tried to take the man into custody, but the
defendant and others prevented him being taken. P.O
Grady gave corroborative evidence. The defence was
the, the persons in the house were travellers and lodger:,
and called Maria Perks, of Dudley, who said she had
been to see some relations at Cralley Heath. On
returning, went into the house of the defendant.
It was jsat half-past twelve. She saw defendant's
son sitting on a bench, and asked him if she could have
some refreshments. He said he would go and see what
time it was. He said it was just half-past twelve o'clock,
and she called for a pint of the. Just at that time two
police officers came in. There was a man in the house
drunk, but he had no beer in the house. Elizabeth
Reid gave corroborative evidence, and said that when the
officer was going to take the drunken man into custody,
defendant said the man was a lodger, and the police had
no right to take him. Defendant said he refused to let
the man sleep say more at his house, because he refused
to give the policeman his name. This being his first
offence, be was ordered to pay the coats.

A SEA•LION AT LARGE!

A sea-lion running amuck in a crowded city is,
happily, an unusual ineident, yet it nearly occurred
the other day in San Fr&LiGlb X., and keelllB, not un-
naturally, to have caused much excitement. One day
lett month, according to the Sin Francisco Chronicle,
a large sea-lion belonging to • menagerie connected
with a circus broke out of his cage and dashed across
the arena. In • moment all was confusion and
alarm. the horses, which had not been unhitched
from the waggons, took to rearing, kicking, and
snorting, and added to the general disturbance.
The elephant became frantic, and danced round a
poet to which he was chained, making mad efforts
to break loose. The monkeys, the lions, and the
Bengal tiger made the most horrible noises and showed
alarming eymptoms of disorganisstion. In the mean-
time the sea lion was cbseed by several men with
ropes, who at last managed to throw a noose over
him, and then commenced • fearful struggle. The
captured Last became perfectly furious, springing
savagely at his keepers "with distended jaws and
fleshing eyea." Several times they bad narrow escapes
of being mangled and mauled. He was tied to • post
driven in the ground, but pulled it up ix hie violent
struggles. He was then tied to one of the cages,
but such was his etrength and fury that he dragged
the cage and waggi n over on their side. After a
protracted straggle he was secured just as the order
had been given by the proprietor of the menagerie
to shoot him. The rest of the beasts were, however,
so upset by the conduct of the sea-lion that it was
some time before they could be metered to order and
quiet.

o'clock at night. They were very drunk and using
obscene language, and asked him to forgive them.

THE DISPENSARY SUNDAY.

The proposition to hold a Dispensary Sanday
for this town, begins to assume a more definite
sh4e. A mean.% of the Committee was held
t.,e Kins Head, High-street, on Tit.'sday
evening last, which was attended by delegates
from ten of the principal Foresters' Courts in
tne district. These are the whole of the Courts
which have been visited as yet on the subject;
it not Laving been possible to communicate with
the others in the time as their respective meet-
ings have not been held in the interim. It is
however intended to call upon them all at the
earliest opportunity, and it is confidently ex-
pected that they will take up the matter in the
same enthusiastic spirit in which the other
Courts have. It having been decided unani-
mously at the meeting on Tuesday night to
have a Dispensary Sunday, the meeting pro-
ceeded to the details respecting the way in
which it was to be monad out. After some dis-
cussion, it was decided that it was desirable to
have the Dispena,ry Sunday at the earliest
possible opportunity, and to-morrow fortnight
was fixed upon as the most suitable day. It
was also decided, that, subject to the approval
of ti,e Rev. H. Siterrard, it should be held at St.
Thomas's Church, at a special service in the
afternoon. We may state that the rev, gentle-
man has willingly given in his adhesion to this
and that Mr. Shams (the organist) and the
choir have kindly promised to give some special
anthems and hymns for the occasion. It is also
believed that the committee will be able to
secure the voluntary services of a band or bands
to play the members of the order to church. It
is not intended to wear any regalia in the pro-
cession. We may say that it is intended, if
sufficient funds are forthcoming, to shortly
convert the Dispensary into a Cottage Hospital,
on the principle which has wet with so much
succe4s at Walsall. We can only hope that
this benevolent object will be attained.

THE AGRICULTURAL CHILDREN'S
ACT.

The Rev. G. J. IVo ofithl, of Norton Rectory, wrilea to TA
limes:—

" Allow me through your columns to call attention
to some detects in the Agrictid oral Chi!drill's Act, ATI
abridged form ..f which is now being circulated io
country pa-isers by the National Society, soil cauming
lAsale stir therein. In the first place, there is nothing
in the Act whi .h prohibits a farmer from employing a
child for 12 months coutiruously, between the ages of
11 and 12. Consequently • child (defined in the Act
ass 'child under 12 years of age') who has attended
school 1541 times in the previous year, may begin to be
employed at 11 years of age —may be employed con-
tinuously for the next 12 months—and having then
reached 12 years of age, will have passed out of
the operation of the Act. In such matters what
may be done will be done. Therefore we may
nay that children will be employed regularly from
11 years of age. I believe Lain right in saying that
the intention of Parliament was to keep the child
under instruction till it was 12 years of age, and
the question dlielly turned as to whether 12
or 13 should be the limit. Secondly, • farmer
may employ a child at ten years of ege (provided
it has attemled school 250 times in the previous year),
and may continue to employ it for twelve months.
It is true that it will be allot out of employment
the following year, but poor folks are yery shortsighted
in euch matters, and will send the child to work as no
as possible, without thinking of the comin4 time. For
twelve months, therefore, the chill will be out of in
emotion altogether, and when it returns will evidently
not be ab'e to take its place in a higher stamlar3 than
it WAS isl when h left school, so that no grant will be
ebtsinab'e from Government for inch children. These
detente, unless remedied, will mar the tiridiency of
what would otherwise be a valuable Act."

A PERILOUS VOYAGE.

On Friday the steamer Mott', Captain Lowery, ar
rived at Hull from Dantrig, after one of the moot
perilous voyager ever experienced in crossing the North
S, a. The Inctll left Denten; on the 14,h Mot. with •
cargo of wheat, rapeseed, and rubeen. In the Cattegat
elle encountered • very strong breeze from the west,
and was brought to anchor under the Skew. On
Seturday morning she was again got under steam,
and proceeded on her voyage in the teeth of a
strong weoterly wind, which continued during the
whole of Saturday and Sunday. Early on Monday
the wind blew a complete gale, and by eight o'clock it
had increased to • hurricane. Captain Lowery has
crossed the North Sea about 300 times, but never expe-
rienced anything like the weather he fell in with on
Monday morning. From Monday morning until the
arrival of the steamer off the Humber on Thursday the
crew were prevented geiting to their berths in the fore-
castle, and were compelled to take shelter as best they
c ,uld beneath the poop, so constantly were I he v asel's
Pow s under water. The hands were sent to the pumps,
wlthh soon, however, became choked, and all on board
were then sent to bail out the water with buckrte. On
Tuesday the weather somewhat moderated. Captabi
Lowery speaks 'err bight:, of the gallant conduct of
ha crew. Ou Wednesday morning the wind again
freshened, and by ten o'el ck the Irwel was once more
in the midst of a fierce gale from the west, with a heavy
and confused Pea. The coals began to run short, otesta
could scarcely be raised to keep the ship'shead to these.,
and the crew were set to raw and chop whatever loose
woo I could be found. Old warps and ropes were next
chopped tku and thrown upon the bui!er tires ; then the
deck houses and deck coal bunkers were torn up and
converted into fuel, also the booms and cargo derrick.,
but GUI, t,t, ship could hardly hold her greund. Ao a
last resource the captain gave orders to feed the boiler
fires with the rapeteel forming her cargo. This was very
costly fuel, but it answerer; better than the other
suleti'utseo for coal, and tu.v this means the vowel was
brought on Thursday into the Humber, and eventually
towed up to Hall by a Grimsby tug steamer.

Mr. Marten's letter in ieference to the fue-plugs,

DR. BALIARD'S REPORT.
Your Committee have to report progress with
regard to the consideration of this report. A
letter has, however, been received from the Local
Government Board on the 14th ult,on the subject.
Mr. Billingham, in moving the adoption of the
r:port, said he was very glad to state that the
cases of typhojd fever referred to in the report,
were of the very mildest character, aryl that five
out of the six had recovered. He wished to call
the attention of the Board to the state of the
streets. He considered they were in a most ills-
graceful condition—(hear, hear)—and persons
I were continually complaining about them.
I Mr. Hughes said lie could endorse all that Mr.
Billingluun had said. There could be no doubt
that the streets were in a disgraceful condition,
and asked the Clerk when was the proper time to
give the contractor notice.
The Clerk read the contract, which required
that three mouths notice should be given to
I terminate it.
Mr. Hughes moved that the Clerk give Mr.
Whittakerthe proper notice required to terminate
the contract.
Mr. Newnam asked if a special notice was re-
quired to be given to the Board, as it was an im-
portant notice.
Mr. Hughes remarked that they could give
three months' notice at any time, without calling
a special meeting.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. Stanley,
and carried unanimously.
