perfect signals had been received from this side dw•ing the
preceding three days, it seems evident that the restored
communication was owing solely to this cause.

lasian at Trincomalee to Galle, it being his intention to stop

SINGULAR, FATAL ACCIDENT AT TURRIFF.—A
fatal accident took place at a farm in this neighbourhood in
the forenoon of Sabbath last. A boy, who was employed in
herding cattle, having been amusing himself with a piece of
fencing wire, had it fixed round his body amj round the
neck of one of the cattle. The animal becoming frightened
ran off, dragging along with it the unfortunate boy. The
struggles of the animal appear to have become more and
more violent until the wire was broken, by which time,
however, from the animal having moved several times, as
in a circle, round the body of the boy, the wire was twisted
so tightly as to compress the body to such a degree that
death immediately ensued, —Banff lourital.
