Review.

Thursday, two youths, one the son, and the other the
grandson of Mr. Challace, gardener, of Reading, were
amusing themselves in his garden, and finding a gnu
while on the premises, began (not aware of the danger)
to play with it, one holding the muzzle while the other
pulled the trigger, which they had repeated several
timer, at length a spark entered the touchhole, and
discharged the gun. The point being directed towards
the stomach of the younger bay, its contents passed
through him ; and in spire of prompt and able surgical
aid, the poor boy expired at eight o'clock in the evening.
Saturday, an inquest was held on the body of a youth,
aged 14, who had fallen overboard into the West India
Export Dock, and was drowned, although in the water
only three minutes. The poisonous nature of the stag•
nated fluid, which is strongly impregnated with coppa,
defied all attempts to restore animation. Verdict—
' Accidental Death."

ci
the chimney, the mantel-tree gave way with a soddel
crash, and killed the man and one of the children sees
years old.. The site was so much injured that her re-
covery was considered quite hopeless. An infant tilt
was on the man's knee, and another that was bevel
his legs escaped. The Coadjutor Priest, the Ref.*.
Foran, had frequently warned Donovan of the doge'
raus state of the chimney.—Waterford Mirror.
