FATAL Dula ACCIDENT.—An inquest was hold on
Saturday evening at the lied House Farm, Lillingtoty
Warwickshire, on the body of Mr. Thomas Carpenter, the
ootnpier of the farm. The deceased, who was 68 years of
age, bad latterly suffered from lowness of spirit+ and die-
ere of the liver, for which be bad been attended by Dr.
Borniblow of Leamington. He did not, however, appear
to be suffering in a way that would warrant any restraint
being put upon him, and on Saturday morale( he got up
at air o'clock and had moons couversation with his arm, who
is about twenty-five years of age, and resided with hits.
The latter informed him a number of rooks had located
themselves in a certain field on the farm, and wore com-
mitting great havock amongst the grain. The son pro-
posed to take out the gun and shoot some of them, but the
deceased preferred doing that himself. and directed his sea
to attend to some lambs upon the farm. Deceased then
took the gun, which was a double-barrelled one, and having
loaded it, he went away in the direction of the field which
had been pointed out to him, about 600 yards from the
house. He was mean to be walking about this and the
adjacent fields by • man named Smith op to nearly nine
o'clock, but he bad not been heard to fire the gun
off while he had been there. The hat time Smith caw
Wm be was tisad,BB On • gate, and directly he bad tensed
hie back towards him, he heard the report lot a gun. Oa
turning round he mired the deceased tram the gate, and
on going to the spot found him lying a short distance from
it with the gun between his lege. He was quite dead, the
top part of his head having been shot away. There was no
evidence that the decoked had anything on his mind, except
that a neighbouring farmer had stopped up s footway, the
use of which he ',maiden.' he was entitled to ; but this dr-
curnkance had preyed upon his mind. In the absence
of any direct evidence to show that the deceased had com-
mitted suicide, • verdict of " Accidental death" wag re-
turned. a
A REGIMENT STRUCK. BY LIGHTNING.—Dr. H. S.
Plummer, surgeon of the 152nd Illinois Volunteers, sta-
tioned at Tullahoma. Tennessee, under date of June 19,
furnishes to the Medical and Surgical Reporter the follow-
ing account of an attack on that regiment by lightning :
" Our regiment was yesterday the some of one of the most
terrible calamities which it has ever been my lot to wit-
ness. About two o'clock p.m., a violent thunderstorm
visited us. It being the Sabbath, the ' guard mounting'
wee deferred until two o'clock, on account of the morn-
ing being occupied in grand review. Whde the old guard
was being turned out to receive the new, • blinding
of lightning was seen, accompanied %steady by a terrific
peal of thunder. The whole of the old guard, together
with part of the new, were thrown violently to the earth.
The shock was so severe and sodden that, in meet cases,
the rear rank men were thrown woes the frost rank men.
Oae man was batten* killed, and thirty-two eases were
more or lees severely burned by the electric fluid. The tea
were meetly injured in the region of the shoulders, arms,
and hips, the man having been standing at shoulderwrnie,
in which CAM the barrel of the musket would rest in the
hollow of the right arm and shoulder, the butt of the pine
resting gamiest the hip. One man, who was on guard ie
front of the hospital tent bad bin musket thrown from bin
hands, and the bayonet stuck into the ground. Tb• men
himself was shocked pretty severely, but not throwa down.
One man, who had been to the rear sad was returning, was
struck done ead severely injured in the eyes. la some
instances the men's boots and shoes were torn from their
feet and torn to I
pieces, and, strange ea it may appear, the
men were injured but little in the feet. In all the cues
the burnsappear. es if they bed been caused by scalding hot
water, in may tasteless§ the skin beiciiikihrivelled and torn
off. The men all NM to be doing w land • part of them
will be able to resume their duties in few day."—Poo

LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—WO
are informed by the secretary that the directors of this com-
pany have resolved to recommend to the proprietors as the
hall-yearly general meeting on the 17th last that the divi-
dend for the halt year ending 30th June, 1865. should be at
the rate of 411 per cent per annum on the ordinary capital
stook of the company, being the same rats as was declared
for the half year ending 30th June, 1864.
THE DA2IORE AND BLACK SEA RAILWAY AND

rived from an exotplional mourco—vis., the transport ci
Circassian ernipante—wheireas the last half-year's return
contains nothing of aaexesptional character. The increase ie
due pertly to the natural development of the goods
