DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Wednesdaymorning,
an inquest was held before Mr. Marlin, coroner for the bo-
rough of Windsor at the New Inn, in that town, upon the
body of a child, named Robert Vickars, three years and a half
old, the son of a lady of fortune residing in Park-street, who
died on the evening of Monday last, in consequence of falling
down while playing in the drawing-room, and a drum-stick,
with which he was amusing himself, penetrating his head
through the right eye. Mr. Henry Brown, surgeon., deposed
to having been called in to attend the deceased, immediately
after the accident, whom he found with a stick projecting from
the orbit of the right eye, which had passed completely through
the orbital bone into the head. The stick was extracted
with d,fficulty, and the child died in consequence of the injury
on Monday. Mary Ann Truman, servant to the mother of
the deceased, stated that the child, who was playing with a
doll and other toys, fell upon the drum-stick, which she found,
upon entering the room (hearing his screams) sticking in his
head. The deceased, who was perfectly sensible, said to her,
,4 0 ! Truman, I was running across the room, and the drum-
stick went into my eye." Witness found him lying on the
carpet, and attempted to drag out the stick, but could not.
She then went for a surgeon. The Jury returned a verdict
of " Accidental death."
THE STAG —The E tag's age is partly known
by the horns, which he begins to shrd about the end of
February, en t e te v horns are complete and polished in
July or August. AL six years the antlers amount to six
or seven on each side ; their number is uncertain, nor can
the years be precisely ascertained beyond tint period, as
the new horns come like those last shed. The eye of the
stag is peculiarly beautiful—soft and sparkling—and is, for
these attributes, frequently alluded to in Eastern poetry ;
he hears quickly, and his sense of smelling is highly per-
fect ; his powers of leaping are often astonishingly exerted
during the chace and in the New Forest is a celebrated
spot called the Deer's Leap, where a stag was once shot,
and in the agony of death collected his strength, gave a
bound which so surprised those that saw it, that it is com-
memorated by two posts fixed at the extremity of the
leap ; the space between them is something like 18 yards.
