Yesterday week, in London, a singular and fatal acci-
dent befel a young woman named Jane Yeo, who, while
dancing in order to amuse her infant sister; slipped and
fell upon a washhand basin, a fragment of which inflicted
so severe a wound upon her throat, that she expired
within a few minutes.

EXECUTION OF MARY ANNE MILNER.—The young
married woman, Mary Anne Milner, who was condemned
to death by Mr. Baron Rolfe, at the late Lincoln assizes,
for the wilful murder of her mother-in-law, Mary Milner,
her sister-in-law, Hannah Jickells, and her niece, Ellen
Jiclells, by means of poisoning them with arsenic, expi-
ated her dreadful offence on the scaffold on Friday. Baron
Rolfe, in sentencing her to death, expressed his firm con-
viction of her guilt, and held out not the slightest hope of
her life being spared. This, it seems; she readily antici-
pated, for, on her return to her cell, she immediately pro-
ceeded to seek that mercy which she could not expect in
this world. Her,attention to the spiritual instructions of
the chaplain is described to have been of the most pro-
found character. She made a full confession of her crimes,
and how she accomplished them, in writing, but desired
that it might not be made public until she had ceased to
live. The utmost time having transpired for a convict to
live after condemnation, the extreme penalty of the law
was carried into effect on Friday, the enthusiasm of the
late election contest having abated. In proceeding to the
drop she conducted herself with much composure. The
usual preliminaries were quietly arranged, and the drop
having fallen, the wretched murderess, after struggling a
few seconds, ceased to exist.

ATILLAGE SCHOOL FEAST.—The children of the poor
have few pleasures or amusements which we can dwell
upon. Charles Lamb said they were not brought up -but
dragged up. Yet one scene in the life of village childhood
is like, page out of a better and and older book—and we
may rejoice and be glad of it. What scene is this ? Surely
the school feast ? A homely and simple custom, yet one
which,-we ought to be very thankful, is now of frequent
occurrence in our country villages. The children are met
on the parsonage lawn. A rare summer eve in some quiet
village. How those little eyes sparkle with expectation !
It is but tea and bread and butter, or may be a bit of
cake. It is but a childish game or a dance on the soft
grass. It is but a few kind words of love and looks of
tar:ection. How simple the means to touch the heart of

see why somethings which appear to them of little im_
portance are insisted upon, and some of their own im-
provements not .exactly approved of in their way. One,
too, there is, a good and gentle form, helping in the wise
and happy work—loved by the weak, the young, the
mournful, whose mild and cheerful way with the poor
goes so far with them ; whose bright presence in the poor
