OPENING o.lr NEW 601100L8 AT WOLVERTON.

On yesterday twelvemonths, the foundation stone
of new school-houses was laid at Btantonbury, about half a
mile from Wolverton, on the London and North Western
Railway, and yesterday • considerable number of persons
met together to oelebrste their openieg. /Rantoul:guy, when
the school-hotuee have Leen erected, is altogether • creation
of the railway, and is inhabited almost entirely by_pareces
connected with the North-Western Company. Within •
short distance are Wolverton and Stony Stratford which me
likewise occupied, to • considerableextent, by railway
people. In addition to the schools • thumb is
in progress of erection. which will ha completed
at no distant time. To the liberality of the rail-
way company the district is indebted for diem sightly
and useful foundations, and ,in looking at what has
been done in this plans—the convenience of the habitations
—the neat schools just built—the rising church and the
spacious playground—one cannot but feel it is no " vain
Utopia" to suppose that the condition of the working class
generally throughout the country may be vastly improved by
well directed efforts to that end. What bas been dons for
the population of Stint inbury, Wolveton and Stoney
' Stratiord, may be equally well done in any Other part of the
country. All that is required is the consciousness that the
thing ought to be done and the conocientiousnees to do
it. Meanwhile, whet has been done in this particular district is
the best reoord thatthe North Western board and proprietary

On the arrival of the 10.30 train at Wolverton, where •
demonstration had been organised to meet Ms Mann from
Leaden, a procession preceded by flags end mode was
formed, and marched to the schools. The largo school
rooms were soon filled. Amongst the company present were

Railway Company, and Lady Chandos ; the Rev. Archaean.

Company ; Mr. M'Connall, who took • very actin pert in

The Rev. Xt. Corns having opened the proceedings by
Paire'CH•nita. said—This tiros last year the foundation
stone of this building was laid, and the recurrence of the
Whitson holidays has again brought on together to lateen
its completion. I trust that in future years those who have
taken part In the commencement of the good work may see

I trust that for many, many years those schools which an
now opened will bear good fruit in the advantages they will

children to useful employments hero, and that they will not
be without knit in that world to come at which I and all of
you must one day arrive. I have now only brinelly to de-
dare that the schools are opened.

The Rev. Archdeacon BICYIBITITI said—lt is my duty

education. On the other hand, I hope the childree, of
whom I see so many around me, will be obedient to their
parents and diligent in their attendance, so that, like these

ANOTIIBB WINS MURDER IN 501ITR 81:17.

FORDSHIRE.

A small place, consisting of a number of cottages,
de., situate between Tame Bridge and Stone Cross, near the
Aqueduct on the Walsall-road, some two or three miles from
West Bromwich, wee on Saturday the setae of a crime of
the above awful nature, equalling in atrocity the recent tra-
gedies at West Bromwich, Oldbury, and Princes' End. For
two years pars, a man named William Wormy, with his wife
and two children, resided in the above locality, keeping a
beer-home known by the sign of the "Old House at Home."
Previous to that date Wormy, who is represented as being
of violent temper and idle and unsteady habits, had been
chicly employed digging in a sand pit. His eldest child wee a
boy four se flee years old, and the youngest a baby three months
aid. About 8 o'cdoek ea Satseday ceasing last Um. Wormy,
having her infant in her arms, wen seen to rush into the
sliest bleeding profusely from • would in her throat, in
which • large miring knife wen @beide!. Her own clothing,
and also the Went* was smarmed with bleed. Wormy
himself wee dem in pursuit when the wounded woman fall
senseless on the ground. He snatched cep the body of his
wife, the infant bang taken up by a neighbour, and earned
it into the house. He then placed the eying woman on the
kitchen seat, seized • towel, and endeavoured to Massa the
blood Musing from the wound, but without avail. The knife
was with difficulty drawn out of the wooed, which went
completely through the neck, severing the jugular vein. The
unfortunate woman died In Ism than twenty minutes alter
the frightful injury bad been inflicted. Mr. J. W. Aim, of
West Bromwich, surgeon, who had be instantly feat he'
arrived in as short a spa°s es partible, hat death had named
before he came.

Ther7stanti.in connexion with this foal deed the
follow-
ing remarkable circumstances:—lt appears that Woney and
hie wife bad been quarrelling during the whole of the pieced-
Mg day (Friday), and on that night the bnsbsnd at up be
brew, Mrs. Worry and her infant going to bed se naval. She
got up at 6 o'clock the following morning, and the quarrel et
the preceding d* was renewed. Jost before 8 o'clock •
milkman, named William Parton. went to the beer-boon.
He new Wore* and his wife, the latter sitting on her chair
with her baby in her arms. They were then goartelltasr
and in • minute or two the milkman, who says *was
lag with his back turned towards the partial, heard • noir,
ss•dyi at the same instant the voice of Mrs. Wl=
" He's cacti* my neck." Pena=
turnedtunedround, and was horror-struck to Me the carving
knife in Mrs. Worssy's throat. She started op with the in-
fant to leave the boor bleeding profusely, Won* following
her closely. Recovering himeelf, Putouts ran out, but by this
time the murderer had lifted his wife from tho ground and
brought bee beck mks the house. So far as we learned
during the dreadful scene the infant did not sustain any in-
jury, nor was the other poor little one cognisant of his mo-
ther's murder. The grounds of the fatal quarrel are stated
to be Worsey's violent temper, jealousy, and anger at hie
wife having given persons credit for ale. He hats been
known frequently to tarn his wife out of doors, keeping the
hour closed aria* her all night.
Information of this heart-rending event was of course for-
warded toWeet Bromwich station, and Inspector Holland and
other officers proceeded at ors to Stowe Cross. They found
the state of things awe hers described them, end took the
murderer into custody. His shirt and dress (a fustian trait)
were stained with blood. The carving knife (a very large
one, with buck's horn handle) sad the shirt were taken by
the oaken, who shortly after conveyed Worsey to the sta-
tion, and took him before the magistrates. Major Wiinight
then preferred • charge of wilful murder against the prisoner,
William Worry. He also said that the car was not in a
parkin to be then gone into, and no evidence could be
afar that day. He therefore asked for • remand for a
' week. This was of course granted, and the wretched crimi-
nal was spin conveyed to hie cell, when an officer will
attend him day end night until his removal to &Mind.
The eterer, G. IL Hinchliffe, Esq., will bold the inquest
on the body of the murdered woman to-do (Monday), at
the MOM QOM Inn, at three o'clock. The unfortunate
women's sadden nem was dash Timmins, daughter of
Thanes Timmins, • mill furnsceman' living in Grant..
serer, Wan Bromwich. She bad been the wife of Worry
six or wren year., and was of vary industrious and
careful habits, having frequently kept her husband
daring months when he indulged in idleness or
re out of work. Worry to about live feet
six or SOWS inches high, thirty-five years of
well made, of sallow complexion, dark hair and eyes, arid
small beard. His features are strongly marked, and during
the brief space be was in court he kept his lips firmly com-
pressed together, hia °muttering) having an exceedieey anxi-
ous look. His father has for roe years been a *at un-
loader at the Messrs. Bagnall's Works, at Gold's Green.
Hitherto the prisoner has made little allusion to the sad event
of which be ha been the author and during the whole of
Saturday, from the time of the deed till he was removed to
his cell, spoke little. To some persons be professed to gin •
version of the affair thus : " We quarrelled again, end after
I hod been up all night my wife began. We had more words,
and in my passion I snatched up something from the table,
I didn't know what it was, and threw it at her, and it reek
in her neck. She got up with the child and ran Ont. I fol-
lowed, and lifted her into the lure. Then I saw it was the
carving-knit that had done it. It was pulled oat, end I
tried to stop the blood, but she died moon after.—Birmingham
Day Post.
The inquest ins held yeetsidey afternoon at the Stone
Cross Inn, before Mr. G. H. Hincbliffe, coroner. Mr.
Watson, solidtor, appeared to watch the are on behalf of
the murderer, who was present in custody.
The first wither wee Wm. Partook the milkman, who
lived near the Old House at Home, at Tame Bridge-cottage.
He deposed that as be drew near the hour, at about ft o'clock
on Saturday morning, he heard • noise se of one perms bett-
ing another with • stick. At the door he overheard the de-
ceased say, "I would rather do the work myself than she
should stay." When be got into the house he saw the
servant girl in the back kitchen, the deceased and the
prisoner bdnan the kitchen. He was entering the house
when be saw the decreed running out of It, with • child
in her arms, and bleeding rarely from the
throat, through which he saw that a knife bad
been thrust. It was a barge knife, and was driven into Her
throat from the left side, and was up to the bill within about
two inches. Did not perceive the point at the ether side of
the throat. Primer followed the deemed oat, and the
next thing wines. perceived was prisoner carrying her in
and lying her upon the settle, and then getting a napkin and
attempting to stop the blood. Prisoner seemed much dia-
wised, and alter some delay bad been manifested in sanding

Witness heard the servant say to the painer, " I told
you ft would creme to something some day." Prisoner re-
plied either " I did not mean to hurt you," or " I did not
mesa to do It." . . .

Sarah Ann Cleilllth, the servant, deposed that on the
morning in question, the quarrel of the previous day was
resumed by demand telling prisoner that he must get his
bri eldest as she had got here the previous day. Afterwards
prisoner flogged her with a whip. Sobsequeetly she said,
that this we. the first time that be had beaten her, and it
should be the last, and seemed about to leave the home.
Dimmed passel through the back kitchen, but returned
with the baby is ow band and shaking the Sat of her other
baud, and went into the kitchen. Witness did not see the
injuries inflicted, but sow the prisoner trying to stop the
Sawing of the blood. Deceased was very provoking in her
manner on Saturday, mon Friday.
Mr. W. Kite, surgeon, deposed that after a post- mortens
examination of the body be had come to the conclusicia that
death had crises, first, from lora blood, and next from suffo-
cation, which had been occessioad by the wound in the
throat, a pun,tured mound. extending from the left to the
right side and meeting in the middle. Such a wound might
have been occasioned by a carving-knife being thrown at the
deceased.
After some conmaltation the jury returned a verdict of
ee Manslaughter" against the prisoner, who, during the
mho'. of the invretigation, seemed to entertain a full Ma-
petesion of the seriousness of his position.
