with an efficient system of water supply at her own cost,
and says the scheme which embodies the details of her
munificent offer has boon laid before the Council of State.
A preliminary report of the section to which it has been re-
ferred has (the herald adds) been made in favour of some

Mr. llugo Croft, of Heysbam Hall, near Lancas-
ter, left home on Thursday morning to take a walk by the
side of the Lune. Unfortunately he got on a sandbank off Sun-
derland Point, and the tide surrounded him before ho
became aware of it, his sight being imperfect. Taking
under his arm a small dog which he had with him, Mr.
Croft endeavoured to cross a channel, but there being a heavy
"fresh" at the time, ho was carried away. The dog swam
safely to shore. Some fishermen witnessed the accident, and
instantly rowed to the place where Mr. Croft had disap
peared, but they were unsuccessful, and up to last evening
the body bad not been recovered. Mr. Croft was about 30
t years of Age.
