On Saturday a telegram was noaived at Mirfield-station, a
one of the busiest junctions on the Lancashire and York-
Wee lies, front Cleckbeston, to the effect that 23 trucks, ;
heavily laden, with timber, bad passed that station from -
Los Kerr without engine or mrd.van. A number of
waggons had been placed in the siding, and the timber
trim not being properly sprigged, started off, and by the

SERIOUS FIRE AT WEST HARTLEPOOL. —About
ten o'clo:k on Friday ermine last a most alarming fire was
discovered in the soros-house of Masers. Louder and Mel-
b .I,y's m 1,4111118, West Hartlepool Four fire-engines
were speedily cm the spot, but a delay of upwards of half an
hour Mimed before the water-plug could be found, and
during this stoppage the roof of the engine-house
fell in, and the sleeper saw-mill took fire, as also did the
liwskwaith's shop. In the sleeper sawmill were three
laden with deepen, and they, together with that j
DMZ, ware crammed by the flames. Fortunately the p
wild was it the right direction for keeping the fire from
the main buildiog, or the whole yard, with its stacks of •
timber, must have inevitably suffered destruction. The 4'
fire raged for about three hours' and some thousands of
peopk ware congregated round the scene. There is no •
MOOD assigned for the origin of the conflagration, but It is
oaojecturd that the fires in the boiler house had been the i
source which had caused the destruction. The damage is i
eatimandat 7001. or 8001., which is fully conered by insise- h
sate—Neresede Chrottiele.
FIERCS ATTACK or • LION UPON A HYENA.— u
The Journal de Loire* gives the following account of an si
Widest whisk has just occurred at Saumfur. in a menagerie ti
belonging MIL Schmidt :—" The tamer was is • large cage
with a hoe sad a hyena. After having made them go 12
dough several yarformarmas, he gave some meat, "
d j
as mud, to the two animals, when soddenly the lion,animated by the smell of flesh, threw himself on the hyena, •
overtursed him, and bit him is the neck. The flange S
lostintis of the king of the desert manifested themselves a
immediately ; the more the blood flowed the more he seemed
to he roused; and his sinister look inspired the most seri- p
on fears for M. Schmidt. M. Schmidt did not, however, u
lose his mange for as instant. The first means which he era-
ployed wen Wulff= a whip. A revolver ensue handed to •
him : with this he discharged several shots at the hoe, I
which did sot in the least move him, as be still kept his 2
victim between he teeth, and it appeared almost without tl
life. Gran concern prevailed in the boxes • the
women tried, end perbape the uproar excited the g
lion. The employes of the menagerie assembled I
rased the ease, They passed • draghook to M.
Schmidt, who made it penetrate the mouth of the
hoe, whilst some of them gave the animal repeated blows IJ,
through the ban. The lion than yielded, and precipitat-d
breed( spiost the bars. M. Schmidt easel this opportu-
nity to retire, dragging with him the hyena, into a neigh.
bowleg cage. A door then separated them from
the hoe. it was time ; for, already furious, he was Sr-
probehieg, and, his mouth being covered with blood, dashed
at the door. H. Schmidt showed himself to the spectators
and reeeired their congratulations, but he was pale and
emend with blood. The hyena is grievously wounded, but
it ie hoped that it will recover."

tional Polies has been engaged for three sittings in trying, on
