LAMENTAIULE lONORANCE.—At the inquest held
on the body of tho poor shepherd who was murdered on the
Southdown on Friday night t•OUWI remarkable facts con-
cerning cottage life and the education of children were
revealed. We do not know the size of the cottage occu-
pied by Baldey, but we find that the verbena inhabiting it
consisted of the deceased man and his wife, three sons, a
little girl, and a lodger. One lad, who is ten years of age,
when questioned by the coroner, said ho dud not know
anything about heaven or hell; and could not tell when,
boys who told lies went to after they were dead. Ile bad
never been to school. Ile knew nothing of the Testa-
ment, and bad never been taught to speak the truth. He
Lail never been sent to church or a Sunday school; stud
