says it is well known that her great sense of decency
would not have allowed the things found in her bed to have
remained had not her memory failed. She is, however,
by no means choice in her decency of detail ; but this may
be by the advice of her medical attendant, Dr. Matcham
who implicitly believes her story. A statement
mother denies that she has received £3OO in charity from
visitors. All she has received from die public, "
or as a present," does not amount to £7. "I do not sb.
this to reflect upon any one—but for truth's sake." The
committee who undertook to investigate this strange case
have published their report 3 in which they state that the

hastily rose, exclaiming, " Oh, my dear child, the lock.

effort, forced her mouth open, and placed therein the end

her eye had been noticed to quiver under a searching gaze,

AN ECCENTRIC CEIARACTER.—Last week Mr. John
Camden Neild, of Lincoln's-inn, barrister-at-law, died
in Chelsea, aged 72 years. He was possessed of an im-
mense fortune, but was of very eccentric and penurious
habits. At the death of his father, 30 years since, he came
into possession of about £250,000, which sum had not
been touched up to the period of his death. The deceased
was never known to wear a great coat. He usually dressed
in a blue coat, with metal buttons, which he prohibited
being brushed, as it would take off the nap and deteriorate
its value. He held considerable landed property in Kent
and in Bucks, and was always happy to receive an invi-
tation from his tenantry to visit them, which he occasion-
ally did, often remaining a month at a time, as he was
thus enabled to add to his savings. His appearance and
manners led strangers to imagine that he was in the lowest,
verge of penury, and their compassion was excited in his
behalf, an instance of which may be mentioned. Just
before the introduction of the railway system of travelling,
the deceased had been on a visit to some of his estates,
and was returning to London, when the coach stopped at
Farningham. With the exception of our miser the pas-
sengers all retired to the inn. Missing their coach com-
panion, and recollecting his decayed appearance, they
conceived he was in distressed circumstances, and ac-
cordingly a sum was subscribed, and a bumping glass of
brandy and water kindly sent out to the " poor " gentle-
man, which he thankfully accepted. Many instances of
a similar character might be related. A few days before
his death the deceased told one of his executors that ha
had made a most singular will, but as the property was
his own he had done as he pleased with.it. The executors
arc the Keeper of the Privy Purse for the time being (Dr.
Tattan) and Mr. J. Stevens, of Willesborough. After
bequeathing a few very trifling legacies, the deceased has
left the whole of his immense fortune to " Her Most
Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, begging Her 'Majesty's
most gracious acceptance of the same, for her sole use
and benefit, and of her heirs," &c. The property is esti-
mated at upwards of £500,000. For some years past Mr.
Neild has scarcely allowed himself the common necessaries
and comforts of life, and has left a poor old housekeeper,
who was with him for more than 26 years, without the
smallest provision or acknowledgment for her protracted
and far from agreeable or remunerative services.—Kentish
Gazette.

DESTRUCTIVE STORM—A most awful and destructive
storm visited Worcester on Saturday night and Sunday
week, extending generally throughout the counties of
Worcester, Gloucester, and llereford, though its violence
concentrated itself over the county of Worcester, west-
ward of the Severn. The rain poured down almost inces-
santly, and occasionally in a perfect waterspout, for nearly
twelve hours, the storm having commenced at five o'clock
on Saturday evening and continued until daylight on
Sunday. The thunder roared during this interval with-
out intermission, and the lightning was of a peculiarly
vivid character. On Saturday evening the river Severn
at Worcester was at its low summer level, but by daylight
on Sunday morning the river had overflowed its banks,
and the surface was covered with uprooted trees and
crops, with furniture, and drowned and other animals.
At Worcester there was not much damage done beyond
the flooding of houses, fields and gardens. A quantity of
grocery articles which had been left upon the quay on
Saturday night, had been carried away, or destroyed by
the rush of waters. Upon the Teme and its tributary
streams—Laughern and Leigh Brooks—the destruction
of property has been most afflicting. A great majority of
the bridges upon these streams have been blown up, or
are so far damaged that they will require re-building.
The rise of water upon the Teme was the most rapid and
the highest upon record. At Powick the water rushed
across the island, flooding the few houses there, and rising
six inches above the second floor of Mr. Hadley's grist
mill. The destruction of crops and live stock along the
Teme valley has been immense. Large fields of beans
were swept away, and whole hop-yards, in which the
valley of the Tome abounds, were destroyed. The num-
ber of sheep washed away in the parish of Powick alone
is reckoned at two thousand. On Sunday the carcasses
were seen lying about in all directions where the water
had partially subsided. They were chiefly lodged in the
hedges, and men were employed in boats sailing over the
meadows and picking them up. At Henwick Mill, be-
sides the destruction of grain and meal, eleven pigs were
swept away, together with the pig stye in which they were
kept. At this spot two men Were journeying from Wor-
cester market, when they were overtaken by the flood,
and obliged to swim for their lives. Luckily they reached
a tree, in which they took refuge. Here they remained
in their wet clothes in the midst of the raging elements
until daylight on Sunday morning, when they were rescued
half dead with fright. A waterspout is said to have fallen
on the Teme, at Knightwick, and a man and child
drowned. At Stone Bridge, on the Leigh Brook, a cot-
tage was swept away, and its occupant, a poor woman,
drowned. A gig was overturned at Malvern, but the
occupants received little injury. The horses of the coach
between Worcester and Birmingham ran away, and the
coach came in collision with a waggon, whereby the coach-
man, Hemming, was killed, and several of the passengers
were injured.
A POISON FOR RATS.—Mix 12 ounces of starch tho-
roughly with eight ounces of cold water, and add 40 ounces
of boiling water. When by stirring the starch jelly is
formed, put into it an ounce and a half of phosphorus,
and cover the vessel for a few minutes. Then mix the
mass
some small wide-mouth jars carefully to prevent access of
air. Dr. Hanle recommends that the paste should be
