- Lest night a barge audience, in which the fair
sex greatly predominated, assembled in Mr. Spiorgeon's
tabereacle, to Isear a lecture delivered by that gentleman on
"Shrew., and How to Tame Them." In nine cues out of
ten, the reverend gentleman wu of opinion, where a hus-
band did not get on well with his wife, it was his own fault.
There was a clergyman once, who had taken too much to
drink, when he was called upon to " sprinkle " a child.
lie fumbled at his book, but could not find the place, where-
upon he stammered out, " What a very difficult child this
is to baptise!" (Laughter.) It was the clergyman him-
self who was in fault ; and so it was for the most part with
hubands sod wives.

FEARFUL CRINOLINE ACCIDENT IN WAKEFIELD.—
On Wednesday afternoon a serious accident happened to a
girl named Eliza Fencing, sgeil 21. a domestic servant at
the Borough Market Arms Inn. She had been washing
some clothes, and was at work at the peggy tub
when her dress, expanded by crinoline, caught fire from
contact with some incandescent embers which hail been
raked from the set-pot fire range on to the floor beneath.
She was soon enveloped in Seines, and in that
condition rushed into the street, when one of the per-
formers at Wild's Theatre, by the application of some
sacking, succeeded in stifling the flames. The whole of her
back, with the exception of a tend round the waist, from
the top of her head to the calves of the legs, are severely
burnt, as are also both her arms and face. She wu at once
taken to the Clayton Hospital and placed under the care of
Mr. Walker and Dr. Moore, from whom she receives every
attention. The burns are of so extensive and severe a cha-
racter as to suave very serious apprehensions as to the
result of the accident.—Wakefield Journal.
