THE SOCIAL SCIENCE ASSOC! ATION. —The Earl
of Shaftesbury, the president for the forthcoming
congress, has consented to take the du it at the dinner
whish will be given at the Assize Courts on Tuesday
evening, October 9. All the arrangements for the
meeting are pro;ressing satisfactorily except one), and
there is every reason to anticipate a spirited and successful
meeting. The single exception is that not enough funds
for the expenses have yet been provided. The total sum
required is only 2,5001., of which 1,30/. has been sub-
scribed. There is therefore 800'. still wanted, and we
trust it will soon be supplied.—Mandsater Guardian.

settlement, and a kng ',ninny was spored. A verdict
was agreed upon for 5,9501.
STRUCK DEAD BY LIGHTNING.—On Saturday,
about noon, a fine healthy girl, named May West, aged

LABOrRIns' Corr/1417:a.—Lord Leigh writes to
the Times:—" I do I,eligve that landlords who can afford
it, and are 6,11160:1,4 to benefit their estates without per-
manent loss to themsolves (if such a thing were possible),
are short-lighted in nut laying out money in the erection
of good, comfortable, but not extravagant cottages, rented,
of course, below their money value, and regarding the
money so invested in these budding in the same way as
they would regard term-buildings, Irairing, or other per-
manent improvements on their estate'. Now we every
day see owners of property, and careful men. moreover,
satisfied to sink money in substantial farmdsuildiap and
1 expensive maclanery, and also satisfied to see their land
and machinery enrited by an ill-housed population, rad I
venture to thine that landlords who are considerusg tbs
prudence of laying out money in good cottages may safely
do so, trusting that the same course of years to which they
are content to look for a return for the money they him
