A YACHT SUNK IN THE THAYER—LOW OF FOITZ
Levee.—On Thursday afternoon last a shocking amide*
which resulted in the loss of four lives, occurred in the
river nearly opposite the Erith garden and steamboat pier.
It appears that the Hawk, • small sailing yacht, and one
of the vessels entered for • match to take placs on Situ/day
next, hating been fitted with • new mil, let Blackwell and
proceeded down the river on • trial trip, having on board
the captain, three of her crew, and a young man named John
Stabile' a stoker in the service of the Woolwich Steam
Packet Company. Wheo off Erith • sudden squall arose,
cad the men were usable to manage the noel, which soca
filled with water and went down by the fore. all the mw
being drowned with the exception of the aptain, wits wee
with difficulty saved. One of the &reeled had been • ami-

TH2 GLAISOOW MURDER. —Late on Thursday
night Captain X'0•11 received a telegram from Superintso-
dent Dewar, of:the Hamilton district of Lanarkshire
which stated that he had found, in a field about • mile and
a hall from Hamilton, • brown merino dress and two petti-
coats, much torn and saturated with blood. From the
description given of these articles there is no doubt ente--
tained that they belonged to the female prisooer M'Leohlan,
and that they are the garments worn by her on the night
on which Jessie Macphe. son was so heatedly murdered. The
crown counsel see no neceesily for longer detaining old Mr.
Fleming in custody, and have directed that Mrs. Wiochlan
should be fully committed for trial on • charge of weeds
and theft. This decision, of course, does not prevent the re-
apprehension of Mr. Fleming, should anything further tran-
spire to criminate him.—North British Mail.
A HOLM KILLED BT • WINDMILL.-011 Thurs-
day last week, • valuable young horse, belonging to Mr.
Smith, miller, of Ashley, got from the meadow and ran
into the mill-yard, while the mill was turning at a rapid
pace, there being • fair wind at the time, and, notwith-
standing the praiseworthy endeavours of the parties pre-
sent to stop the mill and drive the horse away, the noor
animal ran within reach of mils, one of which struck it
upon the heed and dashed out its brains, killing it upon the
° pot. A portion of the sail was broken off by the force of
the blow.—Cambridge Independent.
THE CROPS IN THE MIDLAND COVNTI22.—
Although a very large proportion of the hay has been got in
satisfactorily, up to the commencement of the present week
a considerable breadth of land wee either unmown or un-
stacked. Some has been got badly in consequence of the
variable weather, but some by dint of hard work and
management has been secured in good condition. Wheat
looks tolerably well, but a continuance of the showery
weather prevents its maturing. Barley and oats are in
pretty fair condition, though in some districts thinness
is spoken of as regards the latter. Beans and field peas
grow strong, but should the present weather continue they
will be late. There is more than an average yield of
garden fruits, and apples, pears, and plums promise wall.
We may add that this is an exoelleut year for walnuts and
hard fruits.—Derlieshire Courier.
SALE OF SHORT HORNS. —As announced That
week, Mr. Strafford on Tuesday last disposed of a portion
