FATAL COLLISION IN GRAVESEND REACH.—An
inquest was hold on Monday evening on the body of
Henry Jay, the master of the sailing vessel Ada, who was
drowned by his vessel being run down in Gravesend Reach
by the Norfolk screw steamer, on the evening of the 30th
ult. Th• Ada was loaded with 30,000 bricks, and was
proceeding up the river when the collision occurred.
The coroner adjourned the inquiry to obtain further evi-
dence.

At the general meeting of the Acclimatisation
Society, held on Tuesday, Mr. Frank Bucklaud reported
that he had during the season 1866-7 distributed to
♦arious members of the Society ani others eggs and fry
of the salmonida3 as follows :—Great lake trout, 3,700 ;
salmon, 15,450 ; trout, 11,025; making a total of 30,175
He had distributed them in consignments varying from
50 to 10,000.

ANOTHER TRADE 0 UTR PtGE. —James Davis,
forgeman, was summoned at the Sheffield police-court, on
Tuesday, charged with assaulting a workman named Black-
adder, employed by Messrs. S. Butcher and Co., of the Phila-
delphia works. The two men had met at a beerhouse, and
Davis asked Blackadder for a job, he being out of work. The
request was refused, and afterwards, on the complainant
declinin g to pay for a quart of beer for the defendant, he was
struck by Davis on the face several times. A second assault
was committed, and on this occasion the defendant threat-
ened to cut Blackadder to pieces. To the magistrates the
defendant pleaded that he was out of work, and could not
get work, and that the complainant was working under
the price. He further said that he was drunk at the time
of the assault. Davis was ordered to enter into his own
recognisances in £4O, and to find two sureties in .£2O each,
to keep the peace for six months.
ATTEMPT TO MCRDER A MOTHER.—At Dukin-
field, on Tuesday, George Fletcher, a collier, was charged
with violently assaulting his mother. Owing to the violent
oonduct and drunken habits of the prisoner, his parents
turned him out of the house, and he had since been living
with an uncle. On Sunday he came home and was allowed
to sleep on the sofa. On Monday morning he went upstairs
with the poker in his hand, and commenced a murderous
attack on his mother, striking her on the head, arms, and
legs. The cries of the children brought assistance, when
the prisoner was found kneeling upon his mother, who was
quite insensible. Ho had broken the poker by striking her.
The prisoner made a rambling statement, to the effect that
his mother had been attempting to poison him. He was
committed for trial.

A TRIPLE EXECUTION.--On the 30th ult. the
city of Cincinnati, in America, was the scene of a
triple execution, the parties executed being two men named
Alex. Aulgus and George Goetz, and a lad named Case,
who were convicted of having murdered an inoffensive old
man, an utter btranger to his murderers. The only reason
for the commission of the offence was, according to the vo-
luntary confession of the executed men that the murderers
wanted to "raise money." On the gallows Goetz asked
pardon of Hughes' widow and orphans, and thanked the
priest for opening his eyes to the light of Heaven. Case spoke
a few words, expressing thanks for the kindness shown him.
Aulgus declined to speak. When motioned to the drop,
Goetz came forward firmly, A ulgus feebly, and Case danced
forward laughingly, and had to be restrained for decency's
sake. The ropes having been adjusted, Goetz said : —"Heads
up, boys ; let's die like men." Said Aulgus, "We will do
that, George." Said Case, "I want to die at just two o'clock,
in time for the train." Case stooped down as he spoke
and looked up, as if to judge how much of a fall he would
have, and as he did so he laughed the same chuckling
laugh that bad already horrified those who saw and heard.
Said Goetz again, Don't let us slip the way they did
over in Newport," referring to another execution. Said
Case, straightening up, " Farewell, good-bye, all of you.
lam not afraid to die." Said Aulgus again, " Good-
bye, we are going to leave you." Said Goetz, " God have
mercy on us three sinners." White caps were then drawn
over their faces, arms pinioned behind, and at 26 minutes
past one o'clock the drop fell. The fall was seven feet,
and the necks of all three were broken. The bodies hung
25 minutes, were then cut down and coffined, and given to
friends, who had hearses ready outside the gaol.
THE MARINER'S COMPASS.—In the beginning of
the 14th century, Flavio Gioia, of Anialphi, made the great
improvement of suspending the needle on a centre, and in-
closing it in a box ; hence Gioia in after-times came to be
considered as the inventor of the mariner's compass, of
which be was only the improver. He lived in the reign
of Charles of Anjou, who died King of Naples in 1309. It
was in compliment to this Sovereign that Gioia distin-
guished the north point by a fieur-de-lis. This was one
of the circumstances by which the French, in later days,
endeavoured to prove that the mariner's compass was a
French dikceTery.—Notes and Queries.
