FATAL ACCIDENT B Y SCALDlNG.—Yesterday
inquest was held on the body of James Jones, t
engineer of the Oxford IVaterworka Company, who 1%
into a vat of boiling liquid at the brewery of Mr. Joel EOl5ll
of that city. It appeared that the vat in question, willc,
has been in its present position upwards of a quarter of "
century, in only raised three inches above the level of ill,:
floor, without any other protection, and the only wonder le
that a casualty similar to the present has not taken Plgeo
before. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death"
and it is understood that steps will be taken to render ti,l3a;
recurrence of such an accident impossible. Mr. Jones, 11',
was far advanced in years, was distinguished in his prote°o
sion, his advice having been eagerly sought in many of tilo
leading engineering projects of the day throughout tli

country.
BEETHOVEN'S EITEMPORE PLAYING.—" One 0!
our country excursions led us on so far that we did not 1."1:
turn to Dobling (Beethoven's residence) until
lie had been humming to himself the whole way, and Keep;
ing up a kind of howling, up and down, without articulatilt'
any distinct sounds. Upon asking him what he meant 12
this, he said, I have just thought of a subject for the 11'6
movement of the Sonata (in F minor, Op, 57).' On enter;
ing the room, he ran to the piano without taking elf
hat. I sat down in a corner, where he soon forgot nee, /3131
for the next hour he went on storming over the keys IllAtit
the Finale, such as we now admire it, was struck our

length ho got up, and, surprised at still finding me the
said, I cannot give you a lesson to-day, I must work.
