DREADFUL. CASE OF DISTRESS.--Thursday an in-
quest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Duke of York,
S.ihnon's-lane, Ratcliffe, on the body of Michael Hutchins,
aged forty-eight )ears. The deceased resided in a
miserable tenement, at No. 3, Fox's-court, Narrow-
street. The house was in a most ruinous condition,
every pane of glass beirg broken. The cellars and
larlours were evidently used for dust heaps, and the
water was pouring in in all directions. The room pre-
setae(' a most destitute appearance, and the family,
wt.ich consisted of six children, the deceased, and his
wife, had scarcely any clothes to cover them. Mary
Hutchins stat, d that she was the wife of the deceased.

lie had been out of employment for a very considerable
period, and he only occasionally worked in the docks.
lie had been suffering from a cough, and he would never
have any medical assistance. They had been in a most
dreadful state of destitution, and the deceased would
ne,er apply for relief. Witness paid ls. 6d. a week rent,
and the only means of supporting her large family was
by going out to wash. The deceased expired on Monday
last. The Coroner said he should communicate to the
district sui veyor, respecting the dilapidation of the
houses in Fox's-court, for he was of opinion that those
houses ought to be razed to the ground. He then gave
the poor woman si. A verdict of ".Natural Death "
was returned.

A WILD SWAN.—In March, 1845' a wild swan
visited Lowry's Lake, about two miles from this city,
and it having been observed that he desired to abide in
that locality, the late Mr. M•Williams procured a female
from a neighbouring county, and had her placed on the
lake. Thus coupled, in the course of time there were
four cygnets, the whole family being regularly fed by
Mr. James Wilkin, of Lakeview, up to the commence-
ment of the late frost, when he found it impracticable.
Missing her regular allowance, the female forsook her
brcs.d, and came direct to Mr. Willtin's kitchen, where
she was fed, atter which an attempt was made to drive
her back to the lake, but in vain, she resisted, literally •
rolling on her back, so that she was allowed to remain.;
On Friday last, when the thaw set in, the fugitive went •
back to her family, and on the following morning re-
turned with the whole flock to the kitchen door, where
they waitod until they were fed. The wild swan never
attempted to leave his mate, aad has become quite do-
mesticated.—Armagh Guardian.
ADVENTURES OF AN EXPRESS TRAIN.—On Tues-
day night, at six o'clock, an express train on the York
and Newcastle Railway left Darlington, being about an
hour and a half behind its usual time, having been de-
tained by the snow. The road was heavy all the way,
and an additional engine was put to at Belmont, but
there was no stoppage caused by the snow till they
reached Washington, which it did about eight o'clock on
Tuesday night. At Washington station the train
stopped halt an hour, and it being reported there that
the line was passable, it proceeded; but it had not gone
more than half a mile when it was brought to a stand-
still. The engine-men and stokers, who were prepared
with shovels, partially cleared away the snow which had
drifted in the path of the engines, and the steam was
again put on. Another half mile was got over, but fur-
ther progress was found to be impracticable. The snow
drifted round the carriages with such rapidity, that in a
very !few minutes it was found impossible to move them
either one way or the other, and the snow gathering
around the engine, soon extinguished the fires, and
rendered all attempts at self-extricatioa hopeless.
In this dilemma, what was to be done? ITwo
gentlemen, second-class passengers, determined on
walking onward through the snow ; and away
they went steering in the direction of the telegraphic
wires. As they have not been heard of since, it is pro-
bable they succeeded, after many difficulties, of course,
in reaching their destination, wherever it was. One
gentleman, returning from the hymeneal altar, having
been married but a few days previously in London, and
was bringing home his bride, suggested to his cars sposa
the expediency of returning to Washington, where a
comfortable bed might be found iamtyhoerceaadrcrvoieanngvteeu,nr

safety, and !Rind comfortable accommodation at the inn
near the station, and at the village in its vicinity. This
is p-rhaps the first instance on record of a railway train
having been buried in the 8710"1,
