DANGER OF SLEEPING AT CHUROFI.--During the Sun-
day evening service at St. Botolph's Church, Colchester,
a poor lad, named Amos, of Magdalen-street, fell asleep
in the northern gallery, and being unperoeived was
locked up in the church all night. On awaking at four
o'clock on Monday morning, and discovering his lonely
situation, he was excessively frightened, and made the
sacred edifice resound with his cries fur release. .The
noise, to the great disturbance of the neighbourhood,
was heard for some time, but the locale of the young pri-
• mer was not discovered till eight o'clock, when he was
liberated by Mr. T. Osborne, churchwarden.—Chclins-
! ford Chronicle.
The prospectus has been issued of a flax mills com-
pany, promoted by some leading agriculturists. The
capital proposed is 100,0001. in 201. shares, and the
olkert is to establish manufactories in districts cony&
nient to she grower, the neglect of flax cultivation of late
years being attributed mainly to there being no buyers
within reach. The company also intend to avail them-
selves of rolling and washing, which, it is said, increases
the value of the flax fibre 151. to 30. per t m without
any appreciable exper se. About 8,0001. is the estimate
for the cost of each mill, and the annual outlay for
working it and for the pn, chase of straw to make 250
tons of fibre will be 10,0001. The annual return,
reckoning the fibre at 601. per ton, and the tow at 15/.,
is put down at 16,2001. Practical persons will be able
to check for themselves the probable correctness of these
expectations. Should they be borne out in any satis-
factory degree a new and most important element of
profit will be introduced into the calculations of the far-
mer, while at the same time the anticipations realised
will be such as have for a long time been strongly dwelt
,r upon by many intelligent persons.
