WINFRITH.

AccinT.Nrs.—Of late this village h..vi been the scene
of a number of severe accidents. A fortnight since a
little daughter of Jetivh Hewtett had her leg broken
by the fall of some timber upon it. Ten days ago
Jane Budden, an oil woman of 76, fell and dislocated
her shoulder. A week since Thomas Hansford, a lad
in the employ of Mr. W. White. of Burton, was
thrown from a cart horse, and sustained a fracture of
the skull. These persons are doing well, under the
care of Dr. Bartlett, of this village. On Saturday
last, a lad named Cheesman, in the employ of Mr.
Kent, fell from the shaft,' of a cart laden with coal.
A wheel passed between his legs and sideways across
his bowels, inflicting such serious injuries that Dr.
Bartlett gives but little hopes of his recovery.

SUPPOSED MURDER AND SUICIDE.
At St. Helier., Jersey, on Wednesday morning the
police discovered a watchmaker and his paramour dead
in their bedroom, both having been shot. The man
was covered with a quilt, and circumttances tend to
show that the woman lulled the watchmaker, and then
committed suicide.

THE WHEAT CROP IN THE UNITED
STATES.

All the wheat regions show increased acreage and
urnuivally pnnuising prospects. The season is several
weeks later than usual, but the warm weather and the
rains are pushing the crop ahead. Minnesota yielded
rner four million bushels last year and Nebraska over
two millions. The yield in both this year is estimated
at 20 to 25 per cent. greater. More winter wheat
than ever before has been grown in all sections, and
the propect of an unusually large crop is good. The
weather is favourable everywhere.

MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.

A murderous outrage was committed on Monday
night, near the TuLee-hill railway station, near Nor-
wood. It appears at about tea o'clock on the night in
question an elderly man named Benjamin Griffin, a
c.upenter, called in at the Railway Tsetse, adjoining
the railway *Cation. He only stayed a few minutes,
and then walked through a paseage underneath the lines,
which is the regular thoroughfare to King's Cottage,
at Tulae-hill, the place where he resided. When be
got to the end of the tunnel he was suddenly knocked
down by two men, who, he believes, struck him with
an iron bar. He then went back to the publichouse,
and asked the landlord whether he had been anyone
foliow him. The landl ird said he did not take par.
ticular ut i,te, but, observing it looked as if an attempt
had been waded., rob him, advised him to leave his
money and watch with him for safety. The man left
his watch and his money, amounting to 51., with the
publican. and then proceeded m his way home again
thr 'ugh the tunnel. When he got to the same spot
he wad knocked down again, and it would appear this
time was almost murdered. His head was battered
in, and and his face and body much injured, as though
from kicks. Hie clothes were bully torn, and the
sole of one tf hl.a bo,,ts nearly cut off as with a sharp
knife. The theory suggested by the police for this is
that it was probably known he had a watch with him,
and as the on could not find it they thought that be
had secreted it in his boots, wi.ich they pulled at but
failed ti get off. The unfortunate man then managed
to crawl home. He is now in a critical state.

NARROW ESCAPIR or true 12=TORT FROM Fier.—
The pleasantly situated and pretty rectory of Symonds.
bury narrowly escaped destruction by fire early
Tuesday morning, and, as it was, the fial,et wcr•
with an iamierise effort confined principally to. .
compartment, but many articles of upparrl an
furniture in adjacent room, were material.). &Amaze:
by smoke and water. The Rector, Rev. H. Raw-
linson, who has been very ill for some time, eleyse•
about half-pest three on Tuesday morning, in order
to take a dose of medicine prescribed for that hour.
He struck a match to light a lamp, and itterntiously.
dropped the match near the bed, or upset the lamp,
jointing the bed furniture and bed-clothes. In the
fright, and owi-g to the weakness this rev. gentlecisa
was suffering from, he slipped a.mi fell, cutting his
leg in a serious manner. The alarm of fire was
raised, and Miss Rawlinson, who occupied a ream
near, was the first to arrive. In a f-se minutes Ur.
Rawlinson was in safety from the fire, which was
rapidly extending thmughout the room which was Mr
in a mass of flames. To make matter* wane, ?..trs.
Rawlinson was lying dangerously ill ia anethe'.. part
of the house, and some apprehension was 41 to to the
effects of the scare in her condition. WitPst willin-
bands were at work subdueing the Lune% 'a messenger
was despatched to liridport. and rerayn Sergeant
Hszzard and P.C. Charley arrived. Even .t this
junction the fire was Sot oat, taut through the
strenuous efforts of many who lard now arrived at
the rectory, the houre was with difficulty eased foto
total destruction. The amourit of damage, not yet
estimated, is believed to t xceed £l5O, for maDY
articles wore dot:lowed 17 the action of water Dad ti
extinguish the Fee. Tile most painful part of the
&Sat is that misgivt.ngs are very serious as to the
result of the disaster on the nerves of Mr. and Nt!.,.
Rawlinson, who were, and still are dangerously ill.
It was only a few days since a physician, called to
me the rector, pronounced him to he in such so
exhausted state that there was no hope of recovery.

a public tea wio. provided at six o'clock to which a
goodly number rat (10w... Atto . tea a public meet-
ing was held, the Hey. T. Seavill in the chair, who
opened the meeting with a few remarks and
words of encouragtnent. Mr. Mitchell, missionary,
gave an account of how the work had been
carried on during the past year, stat ng the number of
meetings held and visits made in coimection with the
mission. He believed that good had been done
during the year—The secretary, Mr. W. Tatchell, then
gave the financial state of the mission. He was glad
to inform them that they were out of debt so far as
the working of themission ; this was • cause for much
thankfulness. The Rev. John Parsons next addressed
the meeting, and spoke of the very friendly feeling
there existed between the different sections of Christ's
Church in the place--Mr. bongmore, Wesleyan
lay Home Missionary, was next called upon, who
spoke of the nature of Home Mission, giving several
thrilling incidents that came under his own notice of
the p .wee of God's grace in reclaiming and reforming
the worst of sinners. Then followed the event of the
evening. viz :—The presentation of a powerful new
harmonium.—The It .. r. Searill informed the
audience that Mr. Hem y Spencer, of S•anage, had,
out of pure love to God and the cause, presented this
fine instrument. He then moved that a vote of
thanks be given to Mr. Spencer, which were heartily
given—Mr. Spencer responded in very appropriate
terms. He could not help but feel pleased with the
manner in which the gift was received. This most
interesting, and we may say very successful meeting,
was then brought to a close.
