RAILWAY BRIDGE AT WALWORTIC—A few days I
Ago the Newington vestry showed a disposition to interdict
the Chatham and Dover Railway in respect to the bridge
over the Walworth-road. The discussion on the subject was
resumed last Wednesday, and after a full debate of several
hours a division was called for, when the numbers were for
proceeding with the injunction 19 against 34 ; so that the
company may lower the path or otherwise as they please.
A BRAVE AND HEROIC ACT.—Some workmen in
the employ of Mr. Wm. Davis, the mayor of Haverford-
west, have been sinking a well in a field in Shut-street-
lane. On finishing their work last Friday, they had sunk
to about 33 feet, and there was at the time about seven or
eight feet of water. The same evening a girl, about tea
ears of ago, named Hannah Evans, daughter of a widow
woman residing in Shut-street, fell into it. The shrieks
of her companions alarmed George Evans, a mason, who
resides in one of the houses abutting on the field. Seeing
no help near he ran back to his house, and quickly returned
with a thin rope, hardly strong enough to hold the weight
of a heavy man. One end of this he rapidly hitched round
a log of wood near the mouth of the well, and throwing
the other end down to the water, the brave fellow, without ,
any hesitation, commenced his descent. The poor child,
however, had sunk before he reached the water, and he
was consequently obliged to dive to the bottom, about
seven or eight feet, After a while he found her and
rose with her to the surface, but his own strength was
ne,,rly exhausted, A number of men had by this time
arrived, and they with more zeal than knowledge began to
haul up the rope rapidly. The consequence was that
Evans was jerked about fearfully, and his hands terribly
mangled with the rope. Ile, however, held on, and pre-
sently he and the little girl whom he had rescued were
safe. Evans will be unable to work for weeks to come,
and the case is ono in which assistance is richly deserved.

DEATH FROM A MISTAKE BY A CHEMlST.—Be-
tween one and two o'clock on Sunday morning a labouring
man, named Patrick Farrell, aged 55, of Poole's-place,
Mount-pleasant, Clerkenwell, died, as it would appear,
from oxalic acid, administered by mistake for Epsom salts.
The wife of the deceased went to purchase a pennyworth of
salts and a pennyworth of senna at a chemist's shop in the
' neighbourhood. Instead of the right medicine, it is stated
that a packet cf salts and oxalic acid was served by the as-
sistant. On returning the wife proceeded to make " senna
tea" for her husband. On opening the package she said—
"He has given me all salts," upon which shereturned to the
shop to get the senna, but the shop was closed. Upon her
return, previous to his going to bed, the husband said he
ould take the salts, upon which she opened the smallest of
w
the packages and gave it to him, After ho had swallowed
it he complained of a burning sensation in the throat, and,
from the alarming symptoms, medical aid was called in,
and Mr. Bryant, of Laystall-street, and Mr. Day, of James-
street, were promptly in attendance. The poor man was
found to be dead. The assistant, we are informed, has been
taken into custody to await the result of the post mortem ex-
amination and inquest.
