SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—An occurrence of an ex,
ingly distressing nature, took place in Cambridge on Tla
day last. John Newitt, a respectable and well-conduct
labouring man, lately under porter at Addenbrooke's Hos
pital, and who lived with his wife and children in the Falcon
yard, Pettycury, almost severed from its body the head of
his own son, an infant seven weeks old, on Thursday even-
ing, and then gave himself up to the police, stating that he
was led to commit the horrid deed through dread of the
Union Workhouse. The unhappy man had, on the morning
of the same day, attempted his own life by taking a quantity
of laudanum. A coroner's inquest was held on the follow-
ing day, when a verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned
against the father.

him to give her a fortune of £lOOO without any extraordi-
nary economy on his part—the regular thinning of the trees
at proper seasons, with barking, &c., paving off all the cur-
rent expenses, besides yielding him a small rent for the land.
In the year 1758, 92 fir trees were planted upon a piece of
ground, about three-quarters of an acre in extent. The land
was waste and poor; no extra expense was incurred.
and no further attention was paid to the young tree_. In
1813 they were cut down, yielding 90 tons of tilhoer,which
worth £4 per ton, tieing a round sum
