MYSTERIOTS DEATHS AT SIIEFFIELD.—On
Sun-
day morning last, • man of the name of George Hall, and
his wife, Elisabeth Hall, were found dead in their bed-
room, under very peculiar circumstances. The man, by
trade a razor smith, was in the employ of Messrs. Rodgers
end Son, of Norfolk-street, cutlers, and resided with his
wife at Sky Edge, on the eastern side of a portion of Shef-
field called the -Park. Henry Hall, son of the deceased,
resides with an uncle called Itrilliam Whiteley, in an ad-
joining house. He (the son) went in to pee has parents on
Saturday evening, and left about half-past 9 o'clock. Every
thing in the house bore its usual aspect at that time, and his
parents appeared in their usual health. Ile was surprised to
find their window shutters closed, and all still within the house
so late as ten o'clock on Sunday morning, and knocked at
the door. Receiving no reply be became shinned and pro-
cured a ladder to get up to the bed-room window. On
looking through the window he bale his mother lying on
her back on the floor in her night-dress, apparently dead.
Ile immediately descended and communicated what he had
seen to his uncle, who entered the bed-room by the window,
and found the man lying on the floor on the opposite side
of the bed to that on which the woman was lying, but in
a similar position. Both were quite dead. The body of
the man was stiff and cold, but there was a slight degree
of warmth remaining in the body of the woman. There
were no external marks of violence on the bodies, and
everything in the house and bed-room was undisturbed,
with the exception that the bed clothes were somewhat die-
ordered. The cause of death is as yet a profound mystery.
Both tho deceased are about ($3 years of age. They have
been married some 30 years, and have lived very happily
together. The man has been afflicted with a oough, accom-
panied by an asthmatics' affection, during the present win-
I ter ; but has always bees able to atten.l his work with tho
exception of a few days on one occasion.
EXTRAORDINARY ESCAVE FROM most
miraculous instance of preservation from death occurred in
the case of a man named James Jefferies, a mason, at Bath,
on Thursday last. lie was engaged in repairing a well 60
feet beneath the surface, when shortly before one o'clock
the wall of the well gave way, burying the poor fellow
beneath an enormous quantity of stones and earth of stn
veral tons' weight. A Dumber of people soon congregated
on the spot, and several men immediately set to wort to
remove the fallen stones, when the excitement soon became
intense upon the buried man's voice being heard through
more than '2O feet of rubbish which was choking up the
well above him. Most providentially the draught of air had
not been excluded, and the men continued at their labour
incessantly, but it was nearly nine o'clock at night before
they succeeded in extricating the unfortunate man, who
had thus been buried for eight hours ! He was still alive,
but, as may be expected, was in a very exhausted state,
and, strange to say, he had received no serious bodily
injury.
