Monday night last, a poor woman with an infant at
her breast, lodged at an obscure house in Congleton ;
about seven o'clock in the morning she pursued her
route to Sandbach, begging charity: and having been
relieved with a few pence, she proceeded towards Iklant-
wich. Overcome with fatigue, she laid herself down
by the road side, and gave maternal nourishment to her
child. Her situaion attracted the notice of a gentle-
man who was passing by in his gig ; be kindly inquired
into her situation, and relieved her wants. She was the
widow of a soldier who lately died in the Indies. The
poor object of our narrative proceeded to Nsntwich,
and passed on towards Tarporley, but the hand of death
lay heavily upon her; she could not reach Chester,
where bet relatives reside, but expired, it is supposed,
from grief, and perhaps want, in a lonely cottage by
the way side. Her infant survived her about six hours.
It is not known how far this poor woman had travelled
with her child ; but it is conjectured she commenced
her journey at Chatham, a distance of 200 miles from
the place of her death.—Manchester Herald.
A MAD BULLOCK.—Wednesday afternoon, very gems
confusion and alarm was produced on the Bayswater
road, by the appearance of an overdriven and infu-
riated bullock, which, in its rapid advance down
the road, attacked every •tnoving object within its
reach. The animal had, from the wanton barbarity of
some fellows, detached itself from a drove of cattle
cnming from Southal market, and having taken its
course towards Craven-hill, attacked several persons,'
who, however, escaped its fury by jumping over pa-
lings, and taking refuge behind houses, trees, &c. At
Craven chapel, a poor painter, with a basket full of
paints, came within the scope of the mad animal's
vision, and before the painter was aware of his fearful
adversary, the bullock came dashing upon him. The
painter barely had time to parry the assault by hold-
ing up his basket, which was instantly, pots, paints,
brushes, and all, tossed into the air; the shock of
which tumbling about the furious animal's head, dis-
tracted its attention from the painter, -who saved his
life by plunging into a ditch. This incident saved
the lives of a respectable Gentleman and his wife, who,
perceiving the animal diverted in its onset by the
painter, had just time enough to escape the danger by
getting within the square. Several Ladies and children
had extremely narrow escapes, but we have not beard
of any serious consequences attending the flight of the
animal in its mad career. It is rather remarkable
that the Lady and Gentleman who so narrowly escaped
near Craven Chapel, were, upon their return in about
a quarter of an hour after, again met by the bullock
plunging towards them, and returning hastily, samt
•
themselves.
