MELANCHOLY OCCIIRRENCE.—AR accident of a
most dietressing nature occurred at Southemdown, near
Bridgend, last week. The two sons of Mr. W. H. Mor-
gan were, it seems, in the habit of bathing and swim-
ming their horses in the sea every afternoon when the
weather was (avowable to such exercise ; and on the
fatal evening they were washing their horses be the sea,
when the younger son's (Charles's) pony became vases,
at being befitted with the waves which were
roughly about him, there having been a fresh ,r,zikhz
such was the force of the water that tha poor little hey
lost all command of his horse, tell from its back, and was
quickly engulphed in the boiling element. His brother
Wintle, who was on another home, upon witnessing the
occurrence, with unhesitating resolution, dashed into the
sea end swam to his aid. He quickly seised the strug-
gling boy, who, in the agony of terror, clutched him with
irresistible tenacity, clang around his neck, and altogether
impeded Wintle in his endeavours to use his arms. • They
were both out of their depth. Winds struggled desperately
to rye himself and his brother, but the clinging of the
poor boy proved fatal to both, for the elder brother became
exhausted, and both sank into a watery grave in the posi-
tion above mentioned. What increases its harrowing inte-
rest is the mournful tact that Mr. Moreau was a spectator
of his sons' death struggles, but could render them no
andstance.—Merthyr Guardian.
SHREWSBURY AND ABERYSTWMI RAILWAY.—On
Friday a numerous meeting of Welsh members of parlia-
ment and landowners was held in No. 9 committee room of

from north to south, and 70 from east to west, there was
not a single railway, and that the proposed new line was
intended to furnish railway facilities for the heart of Central
Wales. Addresses were made by the above-mentioned
gentlemen in faun of the line, and resolution, were passed
approving of the formation of the proposed line, from
Shrewsbury to Aberystwitb, through Newtown and Mach-
ynnleth, with branches to WeLhpool and Llanidloesthe '
owners of land present pledging themselves to sell such of
