Sculcoates issued his annual notice, that "legal proceedings
will be immediately commenced " against such of his pa-
rishioners who neglect on or before a certain early day, to pay
the demand now made upon them under the nit ne of "dues,"

On Tuesday last as a ;:trangek' was travelling ale
high road near the village of B,,ughton, }lc observed a viper.
which he incautiously touched with a stick, and _nulled by the
tail, on which the reptile instantly sprung up and bit hint on
the back of the right hand. As the bite caused him much
pain, he sucked the wound in order to carnet the venom ; this
operation was followed by a burning sensation in the mouth
and throat, cramping pains in the bowels, giddirless, sickness,
fainting, &c.; and fours boors after the accident Le was taken
to the Union workhouse at F'av'ersham, in great pak.i. He is
way of recover;, now in a fair although his arm is st'N
Iled to
the shoulder.—Kent Herald.
Two WOMEN DROWNED.—•OII Friday last an
inquest was held at Great Wakering, bef'or'e W. Codd, Esq.,
on the bodies of two young women, named Crittoz and Bates,
the former-aged 18 and the latter 2:2, who were drokkut-:4 whilst
crossing the sands to Foulness on the previous Monday tiight.
It ;.ppeared that on the Monday, Bates, who was yesterday to
have been married to a young man at Foulness, went with
Crittox to escort a companion to Roehford ; they both
returned
to Wakering in the afternoon, andstopped
to tir.e tea with an
acquaintance. They were strongly
persuaded not to attempt
to. cross the sands th:a night, but they persisted in their deur.
m.nation of returning home, and left Wakering ,at seven O'clock.
About eight a heavy storm came on, and as the tide had that
day risen to an unusual heightrn.c it iz conjectured that they had
proceeded about two miles on the sands, they missed their
way, and consequently As is customary after a
storm, a party of men reid* perished.
at Foulness, scoured the sands
the next morninn• and thes ing
body
of Bates was found about four
o'clock bv her brother,' and the man who was to have been her
x'
husband. The body of Crittox, who was an only child, was
found soon after, some distance
from her companion, by her
father and others.--Essex Herald.
