day morning a painful instance of the uncertainty of
human life occurred at the Church Missionaries'
Children's Home, Higbburv-grove. The Rev. George
Ball, plincipul of the institution, mere at his usual
time, and ampanatly in his accustomed hc.ilth, and after
taking part in the accustomed family devotional exercises
refired to his study. A short time afterwards an atten-
dant, basing occasion to speak to him, proceeded to his
room, but on knocking repeatedly at the door was
marred at receiving no answer. Becoming alarmed at
this, the servant pushed open the door, when Mr. Hall
was discovered sitting in his chair with his eyes fixed
and perfectly unconscious. Medical aid was at once
summoned, and everything that could be was done
without delay. bat unhappily without effect, as Mr.
Hall never recovered consciousness, and died in a very
short tune. The deceased had been for many yeari con-
nected with the Church Missionaries' Children's Home.
and was much and deservedly respected by a tarp) circle
of friends. He has left a widow and lax children to
mourn his lose.

DISCOVERY OP FIPRTERRANEAN GALLERIES AT
LiVESPOOL—It is well known that a good many genera-
tions ago the then Earl of Derby obtained leave from his
sovereign to build and fortify a castle at Liverpool. On
more occasions than one well-executed suleterrauean means
of communication between the castle and different points
of the river beach have been discovered ; none of these,
however, surpassing in interest and distinetness one which
has been brought to light within the last day or two in
the area of the Exchange Buildings. Hero a deep exca-
vation is being made for the cellar,. In the calm: of
this excavation, which is all through rick. a well-markel
gallery has been opened up. It is cut in the solid ruck, is
fully six feet in height by three feet in width, and its
crown is about six feet below the surface of the natural
ground. It rune almost directly north from the site of
the ea,tle, from which the Exchange is distant about 2410
pads or more. It bas been very carefully excavated, tile
tool marks of the excavators being very distinctly left in
the roil'. In a few day. every trace of this portion of
the galleries will be obliterated, as the rock is to be re-
moved to a further depth below their base.
