MOM AIIAVAV. —P.:al:Hum, FRIDAY Evr-envo.—Tbis
afternoon a serious collision oscurred on the Lancashire
and Yorkshire it tilway, at the Pontefract station, which
resulted in the death of Then. Child, one of the °Wet
and moot respected engine drivers on the line. As
the 12.35 p.m. passenger train from Goole to Leeds
was crossing the points just outside the station, for
the purpose of getting on to the branch line, it was
run into by a heavy mineral train, which was approaching
the station on the down line from Wakefield. By the
collision the en;ine and tender were severed, and the
guard's van and the hr.t carriage smashed to pieces. The
driver was thrown below the tender and killed instan-
taneouslv. The stoker jumped off, and escaped unhurt.
None of the passengers were injured. The engine on being
severed from its tender ran on without a conductor to
Leeds, where it was stopped. It is said that the driver of
the mineral train is to blame, as the danger signals were
displayed.
A PHYSICLAN.A APPLTITE. —lt is stated that the
celebrated Dr. Fordyce dined every day fur more than
twenty years at Doily's Chophouse. Ills researches in
comparative anatomy had led him to conclude that man,
through custom, s its oftener than nature requires, ono
mud a day being sufficient for that noble animal, the lion.
At 4 o'clock, his accustomed hour of dining, the doctor re-
gularly took the seat at a table always reserved for him, on
which wire placed a silver tankard full of strung ale, •
bottle of port, and a measure containing a quarter of a
pint of brandy. The moment the waiter announced him,
the cook put a pound and a half of rump steak on the
gridiron, and on the table some delicate trifle as a bosom
Gupta,, to serve until the steak was ready. This was
sometimes half a broiled chicken, sometimes a plate of
fish. When he had eaten this he took one glow of brandy,
and then proceeded to deeper his steak. When he had
finished his meal he took the remainder of his brandy,
having during his dinner drunk the tankard of ale, and
afteraanla the bottle of port. H. thus lady spent an hour
and a half of his :nee, and then returned to his house in
Esseactreet to give hien o'clock lecture on chemistry. He
made no other rural until his return next day at 4 o'clock
to Dolly's.— illerfi.of Times and Gamete.
