ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN.—On Saturday
morning a wardmiite was held in the vestry at the church
of St'. Michael, Bassishaw, for the purpose of electing an
alderman to fill up the vacancy occasioned by the retire-
ment of Mr. Farncombe from the representation of the ward
of Bassishaw. The Lord Mayor presided, and the attend-
ance was good. Mr. Deputy and Sheriff Condor was the
only candidate nominated, and after some highly compli-
mentary speeches from his proposer and seconder, was
unanimously elected. There was then a vote of thanks to
Mr. Farncombe for his long and valuable services, and a
vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor closed the proceedings.
FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN ENGLISH GROOM AT
CHANTILLY.—A fatal accident occurred last week to a
young man, a native of Cambridge, who occupied the posi-
tion of assistant groom in the stables of the Emperor of the
French at Chantilly. The name of the deceased was Cam-
pion, and he was a son of the late Mr. Peter Campion, of
Castle End. The intelligence of the melancholy end of the
youth was conveyed to his friends through a letter from
Mr. Henry Jennmgs, directed to his brother, Mr. Frederick
Jennings, at Chesterton. Mr. Jennings says that he is
sorry to inform his brother of the death of the lad sent from
Cambridge, and then proceeds, " The master (the Emperor?)
came down the other day, and wished to see a gallop, and
the poor boy was put up on a spirited mare, a mare very
fresh, too ; after galloping a little the mare ran out, and
the lad was thrown with his head against a stake. We did
all we could for him, but he died upon the spot." The
letter then communicates the intention to inter the re-
mains of the poor lad on Saturday last. The deceased was
the only child of a widowed and sort owing mother, who, by
his melancholy death, is deprived of the support and assist-
ance which it was his pleasure to afford to his remaining
parent.--Catiibrigge Independent.
[ADVERTISEMENTI—HoIIoway's Ointment and PlllB._
Whooping-cough.—Everynurso thinks she knows a remedy
for this complaint, but, unfortunately, the bills of mortality
lhow them to be fallible. The late Dr. Thompson always
pcommended sufferers from whooping-cough to be kept
farm, fed on a milk and vegetable diet, and rubbed well on
tlie spine and pit of the stomach with Holloway's Oint-
dent three times a-day, wearing flannel next the skin. No
, beatment is so safe, speedy, and efficient; no case can re-
,dt it, and no ill consequences ever result from it. The
coigh continuing from habit, after the disease declines,
reglily and radically removed by Holloway's preparations,
oich act more like magic than medicine in every stage of
this tiresome disease,
