FRIGHTFUL DEATH ON THE GREAT WESTO
RAILWAY.—On Saturday afternoon Mr R. Clarke
coroner for Berks, held an inquest at the Railway g°t%l'
Twyford, on the body of a man named Parsons, who "-
employed on the Great Western Railway as a platelall
and met his death under these circumstances :—lle was
work on the line between Twyford and Reading, and &glob
the temporary absence of a fellow-labourer he perceived
down train advancing, and he accordingly stepped ou 13.,°
up-line, when the 345 up-train from Birmingham rap dl
app oached, and, striking the unfortunate man on the htic-
part of his head, the engine hurled his body a distance °',
about 50 yards. One of his legs also was dreadfilill
crushed. When the second workman returned he missed :`
Parsons, but soon found his mangled body, from which
had entirely departed, and it was evident from the frightit
way in which his head had been smashed that death tolls;
have been instantaneous. The accident was not observe'
by the driver of the train. Deceased was a married U 1
and lived at Twyford. A verdict of accidental death _„
returned. _ _

The barmaid who was accidentally shot at the
Windmill Inn, York, by Mr 'Sims Parke, of Manchester'
died on Thursday morniag. Mr. Parka was so roue
affected by the accident that a medical man stated it wolf,'
be dangerous to remove him to be present at the inquirP
It seems that the pistol was left under the pillow by Alt.
Wright, an innkeeper, of Hull ; and the jury, while exolf.e;
rating Mr. Parke, expressed the opinion in their vert
"that great censure is attributable to Mr Wright for tea
careless manner in which he left the pistol."

The LIFE BRANCH.
tusi Progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
seraP transacted in the last year is most promising, and
g'_ances made, year by year, In 'the amount of New In-
c .esi effected, sh,w clearly the estimation in which the
fl,..°Lutpany is held The following is a statement for the last
"ve Years :-
I\4l SUM Assured on New Policies
after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums.
1859
1860
1861
1862
1863
This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
Assured and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
rived in the course of five years, may Justly be considered as
ger than any which could have been reasonably exvected.
jte first half of the current year 1864, however, far outsti ips
he ratio of increase indicated by the figures ju,t quoted, as
the sum assured for that period of six months only actually
eXeeeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling.
—The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly f avour-
pie features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by
:e quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
'4-10 present year is concludli.
