DEATH OF THE DEAN OF ELY.—We regret to
announce the death of the Very Rev. Dr. Geo. Peacock,
D.D., Dean of Ely, after a long and most serious illness.
The late Dean graduated at Trinity College, Cambridge, in.
1813, when he came out second wrangler, the senior
wrangler of the year being Sir John Herschel. The deanery
is in the gift of the Crown, and is the important piece of
clerical preferment which the Earl of Derby has been called
upon to bestow.
EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—Madame Moet, the
celebrated proprietor of the Champagne vineyards, whose
daughter was married the other day, has just met with her
death in a most extraordinary manner. She was gathering
flowers in a garden, when she felt herself bitten by a fly.
She thought nothing of the slight puncture, but in the
evening her face began to swell, and a few days afterwards
she died in intense agony. It is supposed that the fly must
have fed upon putrid flesh.
rkiivEwrisxmExr.) Holloway's Pills. Cure of
Astit me.—Extract of a letter from Mr. Wild, of Hyde,
Cheshire, dated August 5, 1854 :—" To Professor Hollo-
way—Sir,—Mrs. Newton, residing in Hanover-street, in
this town, was afflicted with asthma for many yearr,li
di culty of breathing, and a violent cough, causing acute
pains in her side, more particularly when she took cold ;
she tried many remedies, and consulted different indivi-
duals, without any benefit. I then advised her to take
your Tills, and after a few weeks she was considerably
better, and by persevering with them, she is now perfectly
cured. These inestimable pills, in the worst case of asthma,
will give immediate relief, and- effect, sooner or later, a per-
, =neat cure."
