A letter from the neighbourhood of Ajtneer, in Upper
India, dated June 14, says, in reference to the report that
the plague was derastating that country :---" I dare say
the good folks in England, who have friends in this coun-
try, will be under much apprehension when they read the
alarming accounts which the editors of the Calcutta and
Bombay papers have published, regarding the plague which
is said to be raging about this place. The said editors
have all the plague for aught we know ; for we have no
plague here, though every inquiry has been instituted to
ascertain if such a scourge of the human race has made its
appearance, and not a single instance can be found ; we
have severe fevers, and where deaths have arisen there-
from, such have happened entirely from the want of me-
dical treatment ; but even these fevers have now disap-
peared for some weeks."

he heard. a splash in the water. Finding that the man
had disappeared, he procured the drags, and with the as-
sistance of another officer, got out the body in about five
minutes. A medical' gieitleinan attended, but life was quite

FATAL ACCIDENTS.—OiI StriChy lMt, as
the son of Mr. R. Kellow, of Port Isaac, was riding Marie
by the side of the road, near Endellion church-town, his
horse tripped and fell into a " (Lae or deep water-table,
adjoining the road, and killed his rider on the spot. It is
to be lamented that suele deep wet sr-: our,ms should ever
be allowed ; and it is hoped that this accident will induce
the waywardcns of the above end the eiljoning parishes,
in which those " drums" are so numerous, iintnediately to
take such steps as will prevent the recurrence of seen dis-
asters. On the 9th inst., a young man, named Richard
Sampson, while employed filling the kibble in one of the
levels in the St. Ives Providence mines, fell into the shaft
below, and was literally dashed to pieces.— West Briton.
On Saturday Fanny Wyke (formerly a servant at
the Half-Moon Inn, Yeovil) was safely delivered of three
children, two boys and a girl. The mother is likely to do
well, and the children strong, and likely to live. They
were christened the same day, and named John, Joseph,
and Mary. Several of our townsmen have felt themselves
so much interested on the occasion as to send a sovereign
each to the mother, and others have made up a subscrip-
tion for her in smaller sums.—Sherbourne Journal.
An impudent fraud was practised at the office of the
St. Germain Railroad, a few days ago, by a fashionably
dressed individual, who, coming in his turn to the window
where tickets are delivered, in the midst of the crowd, gave
a 5001. note to the book-keeper, and requested change.
The latter, on account of the delay that would have been
occasioned by a refusal on his part, inconsiderately changed
the note, and gave 498 f. 50c., in good hard coin to the
man, who immediately was wicked off in the railroad train
towards St. Germain. The book-keeper, in making oi)
receipts after the train had started, found the note to be
forged one, and immediately set off with a police officer in
a waggon in pursuit of the train. They reached it in time
to be present at the descent of the passengers.

William White, a big man, a labourer in the Londie,
Docks, was charged with beating Mary Williams, a iniu ge
aged woman, far advanced in pregnancy, in a most
