the bomber of fifteen thousand. were treated to a dinner
at the expense of the marquis. They afterwards walked
in procession, and having been entertained with a variety

quently the National Anthem. The effect of each a mud.
titude of simple voices is mid to have been pleasing and

ing up the ship's log, and tearing a loaf out of the log-

SINGULAR Loss or Sirrrp.—A eingular circum-
stance occurred in this town on Sunday morning, resulting
in the loss of a considerable number of sheep. It seems
that thirty sheep belonging to Mr. Farrow, of Hepworth,
were depastured on one of the Tayfen meadows,
and they were visited and found all right by the man
who had charge or them at o o'clock on Sunday
limning. When the man went again, after break-
fast, none of the animals were to be seen; but
on looking about the meadow he found 15 of them lying
in a wet ditch, of which 13 were dead, but the other two
were got out alive. Subsequent search resulted in the
discovery of the remainder with some other sheep in an
adjoining meadow. The only explanation that can be
kven of the occurrence is that the animals wore worried
a dog, and in their terror rushed into the ditch, where
ey died either of fright or by drowning.—Bury and
No, win!, l'oat.

RHO( KIN° DrArn AP A SOKNAMBULTST.—Ye3-
terday an inquest was held at the Blathamoor's Head Inn,
Sheffield-road, Barnsley, before Mr. T. Taylor, the dis-
trict coroner, touching the death of John Leonard. about
30 years of age, who walked out of the garret window,
where he slept, and was killed. It appeared from
the evidence that the deemed hail for the past ten
weeks lodged at the White Lion boathouse, in New-street,
and had worked at the new Midland extension. He usually
elept in a bed by hinbieli in the garret, but on Saturday
and Sunday night three other lodgers slept in the same
room. About three o'clock on Monday morning, one of the
lodgers, named Joseph Bibby, of Scharfield-lane, Wigan,
was awoke by the deceased walking about the chamber
floor for, he thought, half an hour. On Bibby speaking to
the deceased, the latter asked if the window would open,
and, on receiving a reply to the effect that he did not know,
ho went and opened the window and went out. He heard
the deceased fall on the ground outside, a distance of from
20 to 2l feet, and he at once rained an alarm. On search
being made by was found ou the pavement below, and he
died in shout five minutes. Evidence was given to show
that the deceased and the other lodgers were on friendly
terms, and that there was no nob, in the room. The
jury, believing that the deceased walked out of the
window in hie deep. ruff rasd a npetio4 to that Keel.
