A KNACKER'S TRICK. SUFFOCATION OF
HORSE.—At the Chelmsford petty sessions, on Tuesday
last, Edward Bentley, of Runv.-011,, knacker, was charged
with killing a horse, the property of Mr. Thomas
Stock, of East Hanningfield. Mr. Duffield, solicitor, of
Chelmsford, appeared in support of the charge. From
the evidence adduced, it appeared that on Monday night
James Mason, a labourer, in the employment of Mr.
Stock, and who lives at his farm, had been attending his
club, about four miles distant, and on his return home,
about twelve o'clock, when within a few rods of his
master's yard, he heard a groan, and on getting over
the gate into the yard he saw the prisoner kneeling
down close to the horse's head, and on calling out to
him the prisoner ,immediately jumped up and ran off
so quickly that Mason could not stop him. Mason then
went and procured a light, and on going into the shed
found the horse dead, and four pieces of hay
twisted up very tight, and a halter lying
close to the horse's head. Mason then went
and called up his master, who lived half a mile from
the farm, and also a neighbour, who proved finding
the horse dead and the pieces of hay and halter as
described. The witnesses stated that from the shape of
the hay found, and also from the fact of their being
damp, they believed them to have been forced up the
nostrils of the horse, and which, with the assistance of
the halter, had produced suffocation. The witness
Mason spoke positively as to the identity of the prisoner,
having known him many years, and it being a very light
night. Mr. Duffield requested that the prisoner might
be remanded, when he should be able to produce further
evidence, and he was accordingly remanded until this
day (Friday), when the whole of the evidence will bo
gone through. During the last few weeks several horses
belonging to farmers in the same neighbourhood which
had been turned out at night apparently in perfect
health, have the next morning been found dead, and the
cense of death remained a perfect mystery, until the
discovery of the above diabolical act has given grounds
for the belief that they had been subject to the same
cruel death, especially as the prisoner was in several
instances very early on the premises to purchase the
carcase.—Essex Standard.

FALL OF AN AEROLITE.—The inhabitants of Min-
(lethal, in Bavaria, were scared from their Christmas
festivities and yule-logs on the 25th ult., by the unex-
pected arrival of an aerial visitant. We subjoin a tex •
tual recital of this meteorugical phenomenon from the
Augsburg Gazette. "On Christmas-day, at 2 o'cloel in
the afternoon, a noise was heard in the environs of Min-
dethal, in a circumference of at least IS leagues diameter,
resembling, in the first instance, a distant cannonade.
After 20 almost uniform discharges, this noise changed
to a rumbling, the sounds of which strikingly resembled
those of a kettle-drum, tuned in F, and ended with
sounds like those of distant trumpets. The whole
phenomenon lasted about three minutes, and was

saw this ball fall into 1.,
the houses, a black ball
was soon spread abroad, and all the inhabitants, aban-
doning.their firesides and family festivities, ran to the
spot pointed out. They found an opening in the earth
which emitted a sulphurous vapour. On digging. with
great %eat a stone was discovered two feet below the sur-
face, in the form of an irregular, truncated pyramid,
with four narrow lateral surfaces, and a fifth somewhat
wider ; the base is smooth enough. The summit is
prismatic, and the corners rounded. It weighs almost
8 kilogrammes (441 b. and upwards). Its dimensions are
8 inches in height, 7 in breadth, and 3 in thickness.
This stone bears marks of volcanic origin, and resem-
bles a grunstein (greenstone). The fracture is grayish
white, spotted with white, and several trystallizeia me-
tallic fragments were remarked on its surface, especially
some octahedral crystals of iron which attract the mag
netized needle. It is thought that other similar stoner
have fallen in the vicinity, but hitherto none have been
discovered.

THE ORDER OF QUEEN ISABELLA, THE CATHOLIC.
—lt is a curious fact, says one of our contemporaries,
that the Order of Elizabeth the Catholic, which has jest
been conferred by the Queen of Spain on Baror Anselme
de Rothschild, of Frankfort, was founded in honour of
the expulsion of the Moors and Jews.
OMNIBUS ROBBERY.—Yesterday information was
forwarded to the metropolitan and city police that a lady
named Blencorn, residing at Chelsea, whilst riding in ar.
omnibus which plies between Chelsea and the City, dis-
covered, on her arrival at the Bank of England, that she
had been robbed of her purse, containing ten sovereigns
The Earl of Vernlam has given the munificent do-
nation of 1,5001. towards the endowment and building
of the proposed new church at Lavistock-green, St. Al-
ban's. The Noble Earl has also given a piece of land as
the site for the church.
