A boatman, whose name we have not heard, met
with his death on Saturday last, at Lyme Handley, in a very
melancholy manner. He was engaged as steersman, and,
having to
pass through a swivel bridge, another man belonging
to the crew got off the boat to turn the bridge. Whilst on
the bank the steersman amused himself by ladling water with
i
his hand upon hs comrade, who jokingly cried out, " You
cannot reach me. " Cannot I," replied the steersman, "but
I soon will," and took hold of a gun which lay in the-cabin,
with an intention, as is supposed, of merely frightening his
companion. Unfortunately the muzzle of the gun was near
the steersman, and in drawing it towards him something caught
the lock, and the gun exploded, lodging the contents in the
poor man's left breast, who loudly cried out, " Oh, Lord !
murder, murder I " and shortly afterwards expired. These
facts were sworn to at a Coroner's Inquest, when a verdict of
" Accidental death " was returned.—lllacclesfield Courier.
A fatal duel took place in the Bois de Boulogne on
Saturday, in consequence of a quarrel, which took place on the
Boulevard, in front of the Café Tortoni. One of the comba-
tants received the ball of his adversary in the head, and died
immediately, in the arms of his seconds.
Napoleon had a French cook who undertook to
dress a fowl for his Imperial Majesty's dinner in a different
manner every day, for a whole year; he fulfilled his promise,
and succeeded in gratifying the Emperor's palate in three
hundred and sixty-five different ways, every one of which was
perfectly unexceptionable.
