THE Cur or MISEILY.—We read in the Italian cor-
respondence the following distressing fact : —" There has
been :in insurrection in Todi." We suppose such an
insurrection was stirred up with a spoon ? We should
recommend that an Irishman or a Seotchman be sent
over to quell this insurrection, for they're the boys,for
putting down Todi (Toddy.)
THE REV. MIL. PRICE AND lIIS WIFE.—The Welsh
curate, with -his recovered. spouse, is still staying at
Glastonbury, at the residence of his indefatigable lieu,
tenant. • Last week application was made to the Agape;
inonites for the wardrobe of Mrs, Price, and the same
was sent her. The legal proceedings for the recovery of
the money which Mr, and Mrs. Price transferred to
"My Lord" of the "Abode of Love" have been com-
menced, and it is said that by the possession of the body
of his wife Mr. Price is enabled to claim a handsome
amount of cash without having recourse to the "iron
hand of the law." We hear that Mrs. Price has re-
solved to quietly and peacefully remain with her hus-
band, that they live happily together, and may be often
seen taking their walks abroad in each other's company.
During the present week no one froM the Charlinch
establishment has attempted to put in an appearance at
Glastonbury, and this seems to indicate that they have
relinquished their endeavours to gather again the lost
sheep into their fold. Of course every precaution is
taken to prevent the escape of the lady or her capture
by the Princeites. The doors of her residence at
Glastonbury are kept locked, and strict. watch is pre-.
served.—Western Counties Herald.
DREADFUL DEATH ire BURNING.—On Wednesday
last a Most distressing and fatal accident occurred to a
Miss Mosley, a young lady only 24 years of age, . and
daughter of Mr. J. E. Mosley, of Sans Souci, Prest-
bury. It appears that on the evening in question the
fattier and daughter were in the drawing-room together,
when the latter, in moving across the room, brought her
dress in contact with the grate, and the consequence was
that she was instantly enveloped in flames. She at once
rang. the bell, and then, in her terror, rushed shrieking
from the room. Two female servants, who ran to her
assistance, were paralysed with fright, and the man
servant, who seized a rug and _ wrapped it round his
burning mistress, had great difficulty in extinguishing
the flames. Medical aid was immediately sent for, and
Drs. Cottle and Jessop, with two other medical men, were
shortly on. the spot, but all human aid was unavailing
The sufferer lingered in great agony until the followinr;
morning, when death -put an end to her sufferings. sa
had three doctors with her the whole of the time, and
was conscious to the last. It is stated that the poor
creature was horribly disfigured, and on removing her.
stays the whole of theinteguments came off even to the
bones, and that such was the intensity of the flames
that the wire within her dress was actually red-hot.
Intelligence of the catastrophe was at once sent to the
coroner, but as death was evidently the result of accident
that functionary did not consider 1t necessary to hold an
inquest.--Meltenka2n Examiner.
