The Swabia,' Mercury states that the news of tho
Emperor Maximilian's death at the Munich Railway sta-
tion produced a terrible effect on the Emperor Francis-
Joseph. His Majesty was seen to weep bitterly.

The Epoque has the following :—" Lopez, the
traitor of Queretaro, was, as is known, a Knight of the
Legion of Honour. There is no necessity for the Senate,
as proposed by one of the journsla, to trouble itself with
demanding the erasure of his name from the Order, as we
believe that course has been already adopted."
The Kikeriki, the Vienna Punch, has a cartoon
of the Emperor Napoleon asleep, but not unconscious of
dream, with frowning face and clenched hands tossing on
the imperial couch, beside which is standing the shade of a
Hapsburg in an Hungarian tunic, who is gazing on him re-
proachfully, and reciting a poem, the burthen of which
is that Maximilian of Mexico will cling to him everlast-
ingly, "in revel high, in golden hour of gladness, ay, and
in exile, when man feels the want of friendship, and sighs
for death, such honourable death as thou most never hope
for."

A private letter from Mhow, dated the 31st May,

Captain Martin. They killed 3d tigers, sin bears, and four
panthers.

- The Journal de Pontarlier relates a cane of pre-
mature interment. During the funeral, three days back,
of a young woman at Haitilona, who had apparently died
in an epileptic fit, the gravedigger, after having thrown a
spadeful of earth on the ooffin, thought he heard • moan-
ing from the tomb. The body was consequently exhumed,
and a vein having been opened yielded blood almost warm
and liquid. Hopes were for • moment entertained that
the young woman would recover from her lethargy, but she
did so entirely, and the next day life was found to
be extinct.

AIXNDENT TO THE VEX. ARCHDEACON HILL.—
We regret to state that shortly after the conclusion of the
Confirmation at Chesterfield, on Tuesday, an unfortunate
accident happened to the above highly esteemed and
beloved gentleman. After the service the bishop and
a number of the clergy dined at she vicarage, and on the
conclusion of the repast the rev. gentleman went upstairs
to fetch his surplice, and was about to return, when his
foot became entangled in the garment, and he was pre-
cipitated to the bottom of the stairs. When picked up
it was found that his forehead, cheek, and lips were much
lacer►ted. Dr. Hert was sent for. Mr. Hill was after-
wards removed to his residence at Hasland, and has since
not been able to leave his bed. A few days ago the re.
spected gentleman had been taking part in the examina-
tion at }lepton Grammar School, and he became fatigued
with the duties which he had performed. Whilst standing
upon the platform at Derby station he was seized with
dizziness in the head, and he fell upon the pavement, his
head being much bruised. These unfortunate accidents to
the venerable archdeacon, who is 79 years of ate, cannot
but CRUM pain to the large number of persons by whom
he is held in high esteem. It will give as considerable
pleasure to announce hie recovery.—Derfeshire Courier.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—We have had
a week of hiadering weather for the hay harvest, but the
rains have been beneficial to the root and corn crops, and
especially to the gardens. A large proportion of the hay
in this neighbonrheod has been got up in capital condition,
but a few fine days are needed for the completion of the
harvest,—Bunks Adrertiiser.
