SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On the morning of Thurs-
day last an accident of a meet shocking nature took place at
(heat Houghton, a village about two mile. from this town,
by which a floe little boy, eleven years of age, of the name
Atkins, was deprived of life in a very few aeooode. It ap-
pears that he entered a garden for the purpose, as is sup-
posed, of stealing some mulberries, and that in springing up
towards the tree ou which they were growing one of the
branches caught in the beck of the comforter which he was
wearing round hie neck, and suspended him, his feet being
nirsal about two inches above the ground, until he was
dead. The unfortunate event has naturally caused the
deepest sorrow to his parents, and cast a gloom over the
village and neighbourhood. Mr. Percival, surgeon, was
Speedily iu attendance, but of course bis services were of no
avail, the vital spark having no doubt fled immediately after
the branch had tightened the comforter round his neck.
An inquest was held upon the body on Friday before P. E.
Hicks, Faq.r coroner,
__and a verdict returned in accordance
with the evulenee.—Northampton Express.

FATAL VAN Aet•trigsrr.—A street 'incident, un-
fortunately attended by lons of life, took place on Saturday
afternoon in Oimionetreet-reed, Commerciahrond East.
About 3 o'clock a van, swarming with vellum, who amused
themselves by cheering in true nautical fashion, and waving
flags bearing the device of the uauou jack, was driven
through the street to question at a pace in perfect keeping
with the impetuous character of the occupant.. The sight,
although by no means an unusual one in the neighbourhood,
attracted the attention of the inhabitants, sad, unhappily,
one little fellow about six years of age, named Caralleer,
the sou of a cow-keeper, was, while enjoying the scene,
knocked down by the vehicle and killed upon the spot, in
the sight of his mother, who hail not time to rescue him
from Us fate. The body was at once taken to the London
Hospital, but surgical aid was unneceesary, life having
already tied.
THE NOTTINOIiAII LACE MAKERS' LOCK-Ol'T.
The Lock-out which has now existed for two mouths in the
Mechlin branch of the lice trade still remain. unsettled,
and from present appearances, there is so probability of
• satisfactory termination being arrived at. Variou• trade
societies throughout the country are still forwarding their
coutributious, and further aid is promised. The men are
sanguine as to their ultimate success, as the subscriptions
and expenditure show a beleuce in their favour, and the
trade though at present very depressed, will, it is antici-
pated, ere long long mistime a more healthy tone. The
toasters deeming the strike wholly unjustifiable, appear
determined not to give way.
