A NOBLE DEED-:

During a dark and stormy night the schooner
William Barker, of Whitby, while attenipting some
time ago to entar the harbour of that port struck the
east pier, causing her to drive heavily on the
rocks behind the pier, south of the harbour. Im-
mediately the perilous position of the vessel was
seen the rocket apparatus was brought into use,
as neither lifeboat at Whitby could, in conse-
quence of the heavy sea then running, approach
the rocks; but just as the hawser was being got
on board the vessel, a heavy sea struck her, which
drove her round a projecting point of rock out
of sight, thus rendering it impossible to fire
for the second time a rocket on board. At this
juncture it was found that the only means left to
save the unhappy crew was by descending, a cliff
on to a narrow ledge of rock nearly 300 feet above
the sea. This was safely accomplished, with much
difficulty and risk, by Mr. W. T. Quigley,
chief officer of the Coastguard, J. Dixon, and
eight other men, who had a hawser attached
to them, and which was used in turn as a lowering
line. At length, and after considerable difficulty,
owing to the darkness of the night and the preci-
pitous cliff, the crew of three men were hauled
up in a very exhausted state, the master having
had his leg broken. The vessel shortly after-
wards went to pieces, and there is no doubt that,
in the absence of the prompt and courageous ser-
vices of the r fficers and Mal above referred to, the
shipwrecked crew must have perished. The Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution has presented to Mr.
Quigley its silver medal, accompanied by a copy of
its vote inscribed on vellum, and a handsome re-
ward has been given by the institution, the resi-
dents of the locality, and others, to the nine men
who assisted him.

THE CASE OF CRUELTY TO A CHILD AT MARGATE'
—We understand that Mrs. Loma-, who was convicted
at the January Dover quarter sessions for cruelty
to her child, Agnes Lomax, and sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment, has since given birth to a
child. The child, however, died, and Mrs. Lomax has
since become insane, and has been sent to a lunatic asylum.

Reviewing the state of Ireland and the prospects
of the harvest, the Insh Times says that if the season con-
tinues as favourable as at present there is every reason to
believe the crops will be not only abundant, but early.
