THAMES.

A ROW IN A DOCTOR'S SHor.—Henry Colville, a tall
grave-looking man, about 34 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Partridge, charged with the following strange
conduct:—

Mr. Patrick Joseph Healey, an apothecary, of 14, John-
street, Poplar, said the prisoner came into his shop at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon, drunk and in a very excited
state. The prisoner said " You have poisoned me, and I'll
have revenge I" and called upon him to leave th© shop and
to meet him in the street, and on his refusal to do so made
a rush at him and knocked down a medicine bottle, which
was broken. He had great difficulty in preventing the pri-
soner striking him, and the violent exclamations and noise
caused a mob to assemble in front of his house. He called
in a police constable and gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Partridge—Did he strikeyou ?
Mr. Haley—He did not, sir. He would have done so if
I had not retreated.
Mr. Partridge—What is the amount of damage done ?
Mr. Healey—Only Is. 6d.
Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner if he would pay the
money ?

The prisoner—l will, sir. lam very sorry indeed that
I should have acted so. I was intoxicated, sir.
Inspector Boare, of the K division, said the prisoner was
in a most furious state all night, and raved like a maniac.
The prisoner made a most desperate attempt to commit
suicide, and it was necessary to have two constables in the
cell all night to prevent him repeating the attempt on his
life.
Mr. Partridge—Do you know anything of him ?
Inspector Beare—No, sir.
The prisoner—l was beside myself last night; the drink
made we quite mad.

Mr. Partridge—You may go on paying is Gd for the
bottle you have broken.
The prisoner—So ends my catechism.

ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY.—
Oa Monday, just when the Malton train was attain-
ing full speed, after starting from Thirsk, a little girl,
eight years old, daughter of Mr. Thompson, of Sackleton,
fell headlong out of the train. The mother, who had also a
child in her arms, was bent upon jumping out of the train
also, and was only kept from doing so by main force. The
accident was witnessed by some plate-layers, who stopped
the train. The guard and some of the passengers went back
and found the girl apparently
dead. There was the impres-
sion of her head quite distinct in the ballast. The girl was
carried to a neighbouring cottage, where, on Tuesday
night, she lay quite unconscious. It is believed the door
of the carriage was not fastened.

FOUNDING A FAMILY. A German, named
Heoflich, residing five miles West of La Crescent,
was married in Portage, in November, 1860, to a healthy
German girl. The week after they married they moved to
Minnesota, on the farm which they now occupy. In August,
1861, Mrs. Heoflich gave birth to three boys, two of whom
lived. In June, 1862, she gave birth to three boys and a
girl ; two of the boys and the girl are living. On the sth of
this month she gave birth to two girls and a boy, all of whom
were, as late as Tuesday of this week, alive and well. Ten
pre good, even for this
children in less than three years is grotty
vicinity. The parents are proud of their success in the family
line, and point with pleasure to their company of German
infantry. Government cannot afford to draught the head of
that family—American Taper.
'!'be Messager Franco-Anzericain, of New York,
publishes a notice which has been issued in lowa,
signed by Dora Macomber of New York, and Wade Ilsley,
of the State of Massachusetts. They state that, finding the
system of marriage in America totally bad, and being un-
able conscientiously to unite themselves according to the
rites of the law, but considering that every couple are per-
fectly free to enter into such contract as may seem good to
them, they make known to all that they have made the fol-
lowing arrangement wrs propose to live as husband
and wife so long as that union shall be mutually agreeable
to us." This precious docuinent is countersigned by eight
witnesses.

rfa! ha! ha! Tha Earthquake has stirred up the bile of
the Penny-a-liners, who love dearly to abuse Zadkiel. It
came, as predicted, close upon the conjunction of the Sun,
Saturn and Mars, which occurs only once in a century.

The Lumber of "copper mines worked in these
islands in 1862 was 230; of these 201 in Cornwall
and Devonshire. For several years there has been
a steady decline in the rate at which copper has
been produced from our mines; the relative pro-
duce of the last three years has been as follows :
Ore. Fine Copper.
Tons. Tons.
1860 .. 236,696 .. 15,968
1861 231,487 15,331
1,62 224,171 .. 14,843
Our imports, which were 74,163 tons of ore and
20,317 tons of regulus in 1861, increased to 84,054
tons of ore and 35,388 tons of regulus in 1862.
