TESTIMONIAL TO A STATION - MASTER. -- Last
week Mr. Wedderburn, the master of the South-Eastern
Railway station at Ashford, was presented with the testi-
monial which has lately been subscribed for. It consists of
a purse of 100 sovereigns, and a silver teapot and milk-jug.
It was accompanied by a letter from the three gentlemen
who were the originators of the testimonial, which stated
that the testimonial had been contributed to by 200 subscri-
bers—inhabitants of Ashford and the neighbourhood, and
other travellers by the South-Eastern Railway—in testi-
mony of their approval of his unremitting attention to his
responsible duties at the Ashford station during a period of
13 years.

AN UNIIAITT CAREER.—A couple of years ago
we chi onicled with pleasure the appointment of a young
Enniskillener, the son of highly respectable and much
esteemed parents, to an ensigncy in one of her Majesty's
regiments. Falling iat o " fast " life before a year, we think
not mare, had elapsed, he was cashiered ; he was then sent
to a foreign country, where it was thought a professional
acquaintance of his father would be able to procure him em-
ployment ; his stay abroad was very brief. Having returned
to England, his first act was to enlist as a gunner in the
Royal Artillery. In vain were applications made at the
Horse Guards to purchase his discharge. At the instance
of a mother's unceasing solicitude for the welfare of her pro-
digal son, a few weeks ago he obtained a furlough, and pro-
ceeded to visit a brother holding a commission in a militia
regiment ; when, probably stung by remorse upon contrast-
ing his own degraded position with the respectable one in
which his younger brother moved, he broke from the latter
on Thursday last, when his leave was nearly expired, jumped
over a parapet wall into the sea at Liverpoobanhadh:ybpeeanrelnotsst
to sight for ever, as his remains cannot be recovered. The
mental agony of the unfortunate youth's un
can be better fancied than described.—Fertnanagh
