Doecasren. BUILDING SOCIETY.--SERIOni DE-
reccAriown.—The discovery of serious defalcations in the
accounts of the Doncaster Building Society has given
rise to the nest exaggerated statements in Doncaster, and
has caned ours excitement than any other event of
localhistory of late years. The society has been managed
almost entirely by the secretary. • tradesman who, up to
this time, has occupied a good position, and enjoyed the
respect of sll. An examination of the accounts by a cow.
mitt., appointed for that purpose has led to the die-
amity that • systematic appropriation of the monies of
the society bas been carried on for a period of some years,
and this abstraction in the aggregate reaches the large sum
of 3,C,XS. or thawaaboute. In what way the secretary has
been able to take from the funds so large a sum of money
has not yet transpired, but a meeting of the shareholders
was called for last (Monday) evening, when a thorough
iovestigation was to talc. place. Many depositors have
invested their savings in the society, and the chances of
losing all or some portion have given rise to great unessi-
nom It is stated, however, that the secretary has trans-
ferred over to the trustees and managers property that will
cover at least 2,00 Y. of the loss, and there era not • few
sanguine enough to believe that the entire loss will be
covered,

A MAIL COACH ACCIDENT.—A serious accident
happened on Thursday to the Oboe mail wash. After
leavirg Portaorachan, between 4 and 5 a.m., for :urinary,
and while coming down a hill between Rockhill and Clsdich
the reins broke and the hones ran off. The coach cepa-nod:
and a Yr. ll'eallum, farmer, Auchnacarn, Kilchr3ean.
Lochaw, was pitched out and struck his head against •
atone. He survived a few boon, but never spoke. Three
other persons were more or less hart, bat not seriously. As
far as could be learned there was no blame attached to the
driver.

Tae HARVEtT IN THE NORTIL—In the billy
districts of Yorkshire the frosts and winds of the past week
have enabled the farmers to secure a good portion of their
crops, bat the harvest is yet far from complete in some of
the most exposed posikons, and in places crops are even
uncut. ds may be expected, the grain is much deteriorated
in quality, but, owing to the low temperature, not so
greatly "sprouted" as might have been supposed. The
moorland farmers most, of course, be safferen to Mlle
extent.

A Fog ariiioFo TURKILY6.—A few days ago a
flock of turkeys, 77 in number, belonging to Mr. Bandy,
farmer, of am, took their usual ramble over his
grounds, but not returning at the accustomed hour, one of
the labourers was sent in search of them. From some un-
explainable cause the turkeys refused to be driven home;
about twenty were raffia in, the remainder being left be-
hind. On the following morning Mr. Bandy discovered
that a rapacious fox had been busy with his turkeys ; no
less than 17 were foiled dead and bloody in the field, show-
ing the marks of blaster Reysard's teeth several others
were missing, making the total loss 22. The dead fowls
were lying from 20 to 30 chaise apart, some of them brim
found on the adjoining farm at Mr. Goodies.— Bedford

11)ANONHOUS DINCENT.—The aeronaut Braquet
made a balloon ascent a few days bark at St. Rimy (Ain),
during a violent gale of wind. Having attained a Muddle,
able height, he performed different exercises on the
trapZ•ze suspended from the balloon, and let down several
animals in parachutes he was then carried by the wind
into the mountains, where the balloon fell. Being without
assistance, M. Braquet, in order to save the balloon, hung
on by the cords, and followed it, sometimes banging and
sometimes bounding along across the mountain for a dis-
taus of about 2,000 metres. As in leaping be did not always
alight on hie feet, he was at length so much bruised that
be was (mud to relax hie hold and abandon the balloon.
M. Btmuet obtained shelter in a cottage in the mountains.
The balloon wu found on the following day, and not much
injured.
