A NEW SCLIOLAR.—At one of the best schools in
Manchester, I stood by whilst the master admitted a
fresh scholar, a very fair specimen, he said, of the ma
terial of which the school is composed. I should say
that the lad was about ten years old. He came without
a parent; had no shoes, stockings, or cap; was very
dirty; a wire-haired, wild-looking animal. The fol-
lowing colloquy took place :—" Who are you ?"—" A
new 'en." " What are you come for ?"—" I've got the
brass." " What is your father ?"—" Overlooks."
"Does he go to church ?"—A shake of the head. "Does
he go out most of the day on Sunday ?"—A nod. " Have
you been at school ?"—" Ay." " Where ?"—" Scotch
school." " How long ?"—" Five weeks." " Can you
read ?"—" Ay, a bit." " Can you read well ?"—" Not
so well." " Do you know the Lord's Prayer ?"—" Noa. '
Poor lad ! he plainly knew nothing about it, or, I should
suppose any other prayer. And he probably would not
remain in the school more than five or six months, and
then go elsewhere, or probably give up " schooling "
altogether.— Report of tie Rev. F. Watkins, Inspector
of Schools..

FATAL CASE or STABBING.—On Wednesday last
a man named Thomas Ridehaler, a railway labourer,
between thirty and forty years of ago, was brought be•
fore the presiding magistrate at Bradford, Yorkshire,
charged with the wilful murder of James Hudson, a man
about the same age as the prisoner. The evidence went
to show that the prisoner and the deceased met on the
highway, near Bradford, leading to Wakefield, on Tues-
day night about eleven o'clock. Both were the worse
for liquor, and some angry words ensued between them,
which were followed by blows on both sides, and in the
course of the encounter the deceased received several
stabs in the chest with a pocket•knife, and died almost
immediately. According to the evidence of one of the
witnesses, the prisoner acknowledged that he committed
the fatal deed, and he gave up the knife with which he
did it. No ill feeling hud previously existed between
the two men. They were both married, and the de•
ceased has left a wife and four children. The magistrates
committed the prisoner to York Castle for trial for wil-
ful murder.
