MURDEROUS ATTEMPT.—The train which lef t
Namur on Sunday last at 4 30, with 400 passengers, at-
tracted to Cbatelet by the announcement of a game at
ball to be given there, had arrived within sight of
Charleroi, when the alarm whistle having been blown
by the driver at a short distance from the station,
near the canal-bridge, no corresponding signal
was hoisted by the guard at that point. After
blowing his whistle repeatedly, the engine-driver
being apprehensive of danger, stopped the train, got
down, and walked on towards the station. There he
found the unfortunate waykeeper lying on the ground
with a dagger wound inflicted on him, and several se-
vere coctusisons on the head, evidently produced by
some blunt instrument. Near this spot the rails had
been partially removed or loosened from the line. It
appears from the investigations which immediately
took place, that the authors of the crime had pro-
ceeded to effect their work of destruction by means of
hammers muffled with cloth, and that one of these in-
struments had been made use of to perpetrate the mur-
derous attack on the waykeeper. Had the train continued
its journey over these loose rails the consequences would
have been frightful; 400 persons would inevitably have
been precipitated into the canal, and we should have had
a repetition of the horrible disaster at Fampoux. The
greatest praise is duo to the presence of mind and
caution shown by the engine-driver, by which a fearful
accident was prevented.—Brussels Herald.
NORFOLK ANTIQUITIES.—OD a chain of hills,
situate between Bodham and Waboth, about a mile
distant from the sea, the entire crown of those heights,
for at least a quarter of a mile, has been found to be
perfectly honey-combed with a succession of bowl shaped
holes, about seven or eight feet in diameter by three or
four feet in depth—more numerous at the. northern ex-
tremity than in the other parts. At a short distance, on
a comparatively level space, is a mound with flattened
summit, whilst in the valley beneath, within a stone's
throw of the ancient excavations which have just been
described, there rises a spring of water of great purity
and considerable volume. The spot in question has very
recently been vitae() by ;Mr. 11. Harrod, one of the
honorary secretaries of the Norfolk and Norwich Ar-
chieological Society; and that gentleman, after a minute
and attentive inspection of the spot, gives it as his opi-
nion (founded on analagous appearances existing in
other coanties in England) that it exhibits the site of a
village or station once inhabited by a tribe of the
aborigines of Britain.—Yarmouth Chronicle.
