A LADY, A GENTLEIII4I, AND A
GOOSE;

A RAILWAY ROMANCE.

A singular affair occurred on the Wear Valley Rail-
way (Durham), the other day. A gentleman from Bir-
mingham found himself seated in a first-class carriage,
his vis-a-vis, and the only other passenger in that com-
partment of the carriage being a blooming lady, answer-
ing to the alliterative description of " fat, fair, and
forty." The train had scarcely moved 100 yards from
the station before the lady suddenly leaped from her
seat, and exclaimed to the other passenger, " How dare
you, sir ? What do you mean ?" The gentleman,
astonished, replied that "he did not understand ; he had
done nothing to harm her." Again and again she sprang
from her seat i❑ apparent terror and rage, and declared
with vehemence that her neighbour was a " villain, and
she would have him taken into custody at the next sta-
tion." The gentleman protested his innocence, and asked
what he had done ; but the eccentric lady still kept leap-
ing from her seat, raving against his treatment, till the
gentleman decided that she was mad, and resolved on the
arrival of the train at the next station to give her into
custody. As her eccentricity did not abate, nor her rage
either, he, en the arrival of the train at one of the sta-
tions, was about to carry his resolution into action,
when she suddenly sprang to the door and screamed out
"Guard !" at the top of her voice, and presently collected
not only the guard, but a crowd of people around her.
She then commenced her accusation in words, both
loud and deep, protesting that the gentleman had im•
properly pinched her legs, and the gentleman, horrified
at the charge, protesting, with equal vehemence, his
perfect innocence. At this juncture, when matters
looked serious for the gentleman, the guard happened
to recollect that he bad placed a basket under the seat
of the carriage containing a live goose ; and, pulling it
out, the mystery was explained, the bird being the
criminal, and having caused the lady's fears and the
gentleman's apprehensions. This explanation was re-
ceived with perfect good humour and satisfaction by the
parties concerned, and the train renewed its journey
amid the convulsive laughter and applause of the as-
sembled multitude.

TRE PhEASANT SHOOTING CASE AT
TILMANSTONE AND THE BOY HOILE.

A good deal of sympathy has been expressed on be-
half of this poor uneducated " rook boy,"—the victim of
justices' justice. But it is not generally known that
ever since the charge was preferred against him, before
the Wingham bench of magistrates, of having shot a phea-
sant, and he was sentenced to a month's imprisonment
(but fortunately released through the generosity of a
few friends), he has been deprived of the means of sup-
porting himself—his master " not requiring his ser-
vices." This fact, however, is easily accounted for ;
one of the convicting justices—Mr. D'Aeth—is the
landlord of the faro upon which young Hoile worked.
So the lad is sent home to his father's (a farm la-
bourer), who has a bed-ridden wife and two daughters
to support out of the small sum agriculturists pay
their servants. That the boy was no poacher the evi-
dence upon which he was convicted abundantly proved,

that he is, or ever has been, a poacher. The ruling

avenues of honest employment against the lad • and un-
less others act like the generous Lord Londe:borough,
who considerately forwarded 51. to be appropriated to
his benefit, there is no telling what the issue may be.
The cas% however, is left in the hands of the public,
who, it may fairly be expected, will see justice done. It
is a somewhat remarkable circumstance that the parish
in which this lad has been brought up. cannot boast of
a single day school, nor is there one within a circuit of
two miles. This is not to be attributed to the want of
exertion on the part of the earnest and honest vicar,
but to the absence of a corresponding feeling of regard
for the interest and welfare of the working classes on
the part of those whose duty it is to assist in making
such provision.
