FATAL EFFECTS OF A WOUND RECEIVED IN DISSECT-
ING A DEAD BODY.-M. Boitens, a French medical student,
expired in great agony a few days ago, from mortification
which ensued from,a slight wound in the hand, received while
dissecting a dead body. On the third day from the accident,
inflammation appeared, and the virus overpowered its victim

in two days.
On Friday last, a cat, which had fallen in with a hare near
St. John's Church, Keswick, gave pursuit to the timid ani-
mal, and they ran a desperate course through a part of the
town ; but the hare eventually escaped from puss by taking
shelter in a timber yard, where it was shortly afterwards cap-
tured by one of the workmen.
STREETS, ROADS, TURNPIKES, AND OTHER HIGH-
WAYS IN LANCASHIRE.—From a parliamentary return,
recently printed, we extract
.the following particulars, rela •
tive to the roads, &c., in this county, in the year ended
March, 1839 :—The length of the streets or roads paved or
repaired under local acts was 256 miles (omitting fractions) ;
100 thmoiflet
surmpiakkeisn,g a total length of all other highways in627 miles ; length of all other highways,
this county, two years ago, of 4,105 miles. It is worthy of
remark, that the length of the streets or roads paved under
local acts is greater in this county than in any other in Eng-
land ; Suffolk being the next, 252 miles ; Middlesex, 232,
and Yorkshire, 167 miles. The amount of highway rates
levied in Lancashire was, in 1837, £134,712 ; in 1838,
