horse. They are furnished by the Messrs. Elmore, who
have contracted to supply a still larger number.
SINGULAR INSTANCE OF RESTITUTION'

guineas, accompanied by a note of which the following to
a copy About 1798 the writer removed from the

DEATH BY BURNING.—CLIMBING Boys.
—Last week,. one of those melancholy cases occurred
which have been unfortunately too common in the history
of chimney. sweeping. A little boy had ascended a chim-
ney, while the fire was not removed from the grate belovir
but merely covered with a girdle, which it was supposed,
would be a sufficient protection to the poor child. The
soot fell down in great quantities on the girdle, and in s
little time it ignited. In spite of every effort, the blaze
communicated to the chimney, which was soon in one
mass of burning flame, whilst the poor child was pent uP
in the midst of it. After a considerable time, he succeeded
in getting down, but when he did so he was in a frightful
condition,—the flesh being literally roasted on his bones

AWFUL INSTANCE OF MORTALITY.—The
solemn proverb " in the midst of life we are in deaths"
was never more forcibly exemplified than in an instance
we are now about to mention. On Saturday last, Mr.
John Boothby, a respectable farmer of Fox Bank, Sutton,
was in the market here, transacting some business with
Mr. Cheetham, butcher, and from thence they adjourned
to the Punch Bowl public-house, to get some refreshment.
They sat down to some beef steaks, and the moment Mr.
Boothby put the first piece into his mouth, he was ob-
served to appear as if he were choked. On being struck
on the back, the beef fell from his mouth, but all con-
sciousness seemed to be gone from him. In a few minutes
Mr. Ainsworth, surgeon, was on the spot, and attempted

CHARGE OF MURDER.—On Monday last,
John Parker, jun., of Long Preston, aged 24, was corm.
roit.ed by the Magistrates at Gargrave to York Castle,
charged with the wilful murder of Jane Airton, a young
woman who, it appears, was with child by him. The
case is involved in considerable mystery, and it might be
unfair to the prisoner now to enter into a detail of the
circumstances which induced the Magistrates to commit
him. The young woman had been servant with Mr.
Preston, of Aleer Beck, near Long Preston, and left his
•ervice in consequence of her pregnancy, on Saturday
morning, the 21st of December, intending to visit bet
friends near Gisburn. Her way lay through Wiggles-
worth, in which township, in a very small stream of
water, not far from the highway, in a secluded spat; bet
body was found on the 26th of December. On the fol-
lowing day a Coroner's inquest was holde- .Afore Mr.
Brown, when no marks of violence appearing upon the
b uly, or other cause to excite suspicion, a verdict of
" Found Drowned" was returned. Since the irquest
suspicions have arisen, and the body has been disinterred
