to send the particulars of their claims to Mr.
William Quilter, the official liquidator, by the 2nd

upon them.
The bonds of the Dutch Indian Railway Loan
are now ready for delivery against fully paid-up

With reference to the effect produced on the
iron trade by the absence of the accustomed orders
from railway companies " Ryland's Circular"
remarks:
The absence of railway orders less of course the subject
o' marked comment upon the want of funds and credit
among the companies. It was asked how loug a period
must elapse before the necessary wear and tear of traffic
would te'l so forcibly as to compel an amount of repairs
closely approximate to reconstruction? This must come
sooner or later, or—more surely than even the process of
Chanoery—the force of hard work will bring the railways
to a full stop.

Two YEARS Aoo.—lt is but two years since the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking of the "single-
barrelled • bill of Mr. Bdnes. warned the House of Com-
mons, in his most solemn MAIM; against the conse-
quences of adopting it. England, he said had no recu-
perative powers. America might be brought to the verge
of annihilation, but it would speedily recover. France
might be completely metamorphosed, but France pos-
sessed abundant vitality. But if the borough franchise were
reduced to • 6/. qualification, the England we have known
would disappear. Now we are assured that, whatever
change may be made in our system of government, the
social forces of the nation are strong enough to maintain
everything just as it is. We do not draw attention to the
contrast for the purpose of reproach, nor to point out that
the exaggeration of to-day is no more worthy of trust than
the exaggeration of 1865, but to remark that if experience
be worth anything these sudden changes are not conducive
to [debility of fortune. England, which " does net like
coalitions" because they imply some compromise of prin-
ciple, dislikes perhaps more a total abandonment of former
professions, and is not apt to be grateful even when
the change is proved to be beneficial. The Duke of Wel-
lington most wisely conceded the catholic claims, but he
fell from power, and the Reform Act of 1832 was the con-
sequence. Sir Robert Peel abolished the corn laws, 'out
his ministry did not survive the session, and the Pulite',
as a party, became extinct. The Reform Bill of 1867 may
be followed by different results ; it may prove the com-
mencement of a long lease of office ; but it is also possible
that among its consequences will be a fulfilment of the
challenge thrown down early in the session by the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, " Pus our bill, and then turn us
out if you like."—Times.
MELANCHOLY DEATH OR A YOUR(' LADY. —On
Wednesday moraing, Miss Mary Ann Paris, youngest
daughter of Mr. Robert Patin, of S.opley, was accidentally
drowned at Mndesford, Christchurch. It appeared that
the young lady was bathing at the usual place of bathing,
when suddenly she cried out and sank. The body was re-
covered in about twenty minutes, but life was quite ex-
tinct. An inquest was held on the same evening, at the
Sandford Hotel, before Mr. Druitt, when a verdict of "Ac-
cidentally drowned while bathing" was returned. The jury
expressed an opinion that the old beach was unsafe for
bathing, and recommended all bothers to go to the new
shore, where some excellent bathing may be had.—Salea-
bereVoureal.
THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR WARRINGTON.—
From inquiries made on Saturday last at the temporary
hospital at Warrington, we learn that all the invalids re-
cently injured by the ilway accident at the Walton Junc-
tion, near Warrington, were fast approaching recovery,
one man especially, whose face had received • very severe
contusion, and who it was believed at first would not
recover. Miss Powell, who had her lips and chin cut, and
one of her ears nearly cut off, and was otherwise much
knocked about, is fast approaching convalescence, as is
also Mrs. Swornsborne, who likewise was severely injured
by the collision. The present hot weather interferes to a
great extent with the recovery of those patients who have
open wounds.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN SCOTLAND.-011 Friday
night, as the 3.33 p.m. train from Rumbling-bridge to
Dunfermline was nearing the Devon Valley Railway sta-
tion, a somewhat serious accident occurred as the train ap-
proached the station. The engine warn detached from the
carriages to be shunted on to a siding. While this was
being done, and before the engine got into the siding, the
carriages came in contact with the engine, causing a serious
collision. Several of the passengers were seriously in.
jured. —Scotsman.
The Imperial Hotel at Southampton opens to-
I day. Mr. Frederick Farrar has been appointed manager.
A WITCH STORY.—" There was once a beautiful
woman lived there-away," began Ericson. But I have not
room to give the story as he told it, embellishing it, no
doubt. as with a mere tale it was lawful enough to do,
from his own imagination, to make it the more acceptable
to Mysie. The substance of it was that a young man fell
in love with the lady, though he knew she was • witch.
And she let him go on loving her till he cared for nothing
but her. And then she began to kill him by laughing at
him ; for no witch can seer fall in love herself, however
much she maylike to be loved. And she laughed at him and
mocked him till he was nearly dead. Then he drowned
himself in a pool on the seashore. And the witch did not
know that ; but walking along the shore, looking for what
things the sea might cast up that would be of service for
her wicked arts, she saw his band lying over the edge of
the rocky basin in which his body lay. Now, nothing is
more uncial to a witch than the hand of a man, especially
if he hascome by an untimely death ; so she went to pick
it up. When she found it fast to an arm she would have
chopped it off, but when she saw who it was, for one
reason or another best known to witches, she would draw
off his ring first ; for it was an enchanted ring which she
had given him to help to the bewitchment of his own fatal
love, and she"wanted both it and the hand to enable her
to draw to herself the lover of a young maiden whom she
hated. But she had herself already bewitched the dead
man •, anew the dead band closed its fingers upon hers,
and bald her, bad all her power was powerless against the
dead ; and the tide came rushing up like a hungry beast,
and she was drowned, and nobody went near her to help
her. And her body lies to this day with that of her lover
at the bottom of the Swalebie whirlpool, and before ••
storm anew, strange meanings rise from the pool, as if the
lover were praying for the witch lady's love, and she,
having none to give, were praying him in her turn to let
go her hand. —lvory for July.
