few days ago an excavator, named Baker, living at
Sands-end, Fulham, nearly murdered his daughter, a girl
fourteen years of age, by striking her on the head with a
poker, because his dinner did not happen to be ready the
moment he entered the house.

CALAMITOUS OCCURRENCE.—On Friday evening last,
although the sky was overcast, the weather was yet so tine
that it was scarcely possible to anticipate the slightest danger
to the boats engaged in the herring fishing, and all of them
at the various stations on this part of the coast put out to
sea as usual. while some were encouraged by the apparently
settled calmness of the night to risk their floats nearer to
the rocks than is their practice. The aspect of the weather
continued unchanged till about twelve o'clock, when a tre-
mendous gale sprung up from the north-east, placing the
lives of the boats' crews in the greatest jeopardy. Most of
them hauled their nets, many of which, being full of herring,
were lost in the hurry and confusion consequent upon the
exertions of the fishermen to escape the danger. One of
them, however, the Jebus. of Eynemouth, had unfortunately
taken up a perilous position near the shore at Marshall
Meadows, from which the crew were unable to extricate
themselves, and the consequence was, that the whole on
lye in number, perished.—Berwick Warder.
