can now boast of a publication, the Northern .Daily Times,

There is no vain gasconade in these remarks ; for I would

differences amongst the masters as well as amongst the-
men. Many of the' masters have a strong objection to'
the infliction on the men of the " Declaration," evz.n with ye
mere verbal assent, and are much inclined to withdraw it.
So strong was this feeling, that unless we are grossly misin—
formed, when the matter was discussed at a private meeting
of the masterk two of them from angry words almost
came to blows. There is not the slightest likelihoo&
of a settlement between the masters and men until
the obnoxious " document" has been withdrawn. Various
parties, in all ranks of life, from the highest to the humblest,
deplore this lamentable strike, and talk of a settlement of the
dispute by arbitration. Such a settlement is much to be
desired, and were the " document" withdrawn, probably the
disputants would be friends again in a few days. It is nog-
likely, however, that the strike and lock-out will last long:

Smith ran after the ball, -and on returning ne found that
Prestwich was a little off his wicket. Intending to get hint
out, he " pitched" the ball at the wicket. Prestwich was.
at that moment stooping to pick up a piece of bone front
the 'ground, and the ball, instead of hitting the wicket,
struck him on the left temple. He played for some tine
after Wards, but complained of pain ; and on going home the
pain grew more intense, and he died next day. The verdict
at the coroner's inquest was " Accidental death."
