information to the authorities. Cod-liver oil, soap, and

MEETINGHOUSE Altair-scrum—An amusing in-
stance of the mistakes which are likely to arise from-the
adoption of ecclesiastical architecture by Dissenters in the
Construction of their meeting.houses, occurred on Sunday
last week. The Bishop of Winchester was proceeding to
preach a charity sermon at a church in Hackney, when
huitte!. the by
sdlordehip's coachman pulled up at a new gothic edifice,
no means unnatural supposition that it was
the church. The Bishop had
baler ere it was discovered to be a meeting-house--a
than of much mere church-like appearance
thrdshi an the parish church itself, at which, in due time, his
lop arrived.
A MODEL PATI,NT—A. patient was recently admitted
into the Infirmary at Durham who, some time previously
and elsewhere, had had one of his legs amputated between
the ancle and knee in so unsatisfactory a manner as to
?squire a further operation. He said he was sure they
could cut his leg at the Infirmaryaust as it should be, for,
!ill it was, " it dangled about. and quite bothered him,"
but hatlioueht if a few inches were taken off he would be
all right. While his wishes, were being complied with he
very coolly told the surgeons to mind and cut it high
.enough, and after the operation was completed said it was
a Pitriviren they were at work not to make a good job of
it, and he would gladly have had -them take off a few
Inches mere. He is now doing well, and is perfectly
aatisfied with the result.—Durhaea Chronicle.
CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—The Lincolnshire Chro -
isle relates that a Mrs. Wilkinson, of Eynesbury, near
ISt. Neot's, completely lost tier sight...2s years ago, not-

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—A most distress-
ing event, arising from experimentalising on the recently.
discovered moving power of animal magnetism, has hap-
pened to a young lady residing in Sussex-place, Old Kent-
road. It appears that, in common with many others, she
formed one of a party to test the truth of the moving
of a table by means of this agency, and in doing so the
Usual way was adopted of compressing the fingers, or,
rather, doubling them towards the palm of the hands.
On removing them, she was horror-stricken to find they
had become fixed in the position she had placed them on
the table, and her endeavours. up to the present time, to
open them have been unavailin. To prevent tbe nails lacerating the palms of her hands, her medical advisers
have ordered them to be covered with cotton-wool. She
has been to Guy's and St. Thomas's hospitals, and they
cannot relieve her. Incredible as this may appear, we
can vouch for its truth ; and we would caution the public,
in future, to he careful as to indulging in this Apparently
harmless amusement,—Sun.
