the neighbourhood of Ileum-le-Hole. Jut as the fez becks
Cover, the bone which this respected individual was riding, unfor-
tunately got its feet into a grip, which canted it to fall, and it rolled
over him several times before be could be rescued by his com-
panions in the chase. He was instantly carried to the house of a
Gentleman is Hinton, where be was bled, and subsequently re-
moved in his carriage to Murton House, a few miles distant.
A deplorable event took place on the nsofoing of the
45th alt. at Ligny, near Charolle,
.in France. A poor
widow, 75 years of age, occupied a lone cottage at the
outskirm of a wood. Several women, who Lid been
vs the midnight meas, passing near this cottage. ob-
served that the door was open. They entered, but bay.
ing stumbled over a dead body, left the house and fled
in alarm. They soon after returned with theit husbands.
when they found the poor old woman welteripg in her
blood, and her body so dreadfully mangled as to leave
no doubt of her having.been. killed by some ferocious
animal. On the following night a wolf was seen prowl.
ing round the cottage. A general chase has since been
made in the wood, but the animal has not been taken.
Wednesday evening, about ten o'clock; an alarm of
fire was given at the Charterhouse, in consequence of
smoke being seen to issue froin the rums occupied by
one of the Pensioners of that Institution:a poor infirm
old man of the name of Peacoci,formerly a butcher in
the neighbourhood. The door of the room being
fawned on the inside, and no answer being given to
repeated applications to open it. it was, sifter some dif-
ficulty, burst open, when a horrible spectacle presented
itself—at least as soon as the room could be cleared of
smoke—the poor old man was found with his head
upon the fire, his face and breast burned to a cinder, and
of course quite dead; it is supposed he must have
fallen into that position in a fit. The fire was soon
quite extinguished, there being a pdmp tg hand and a
plentiful supply of water.
