GROWTH or FLAX.—The proprietor of Westhall, in
Aberdeenshire, is making a strong effort to introduce the
cultivation of flax into that county, and to remove the
leading objection urged against that scheme, lie has made
arrangements for the erection of a " Retterie" for the
manufacture of the flax upon his estate, close upon the
Gaudie-side, and adjoining a station of the Great North of
Scotland Railway.—North British Daily Mail.

THE DIICHEss OF HAMILTON AND THE ROMA.NIBTS.—
The Romish Free Press states that the Duchess of
Hamilton, in addition to the presents to the " Mission" at
Hamilton of font, statue, flowers, vases, vestments, can-
dlesticks, &c., has given an exquisitely beautiful mediaeval
gold chalice and paten, and speaks with exultation of this
relic of a thousand years being restored and re-consecrated
to its original purposes. It also records her grace's pa-
tronage and visits to the Romish school.—Edinburgh
Witness.

ACCIDENT AT A MENAGERIE.-011 Saturday last,while
Batty's menagerie was exhibiting in Ferres, a girl, carry-
ing a child two years of age, went within the rope oppo-
site the lion's cage. The girl had been looking in a
contrary direction, and the lion darted his foot from under
the bars, and seized the child by the head in its claws,
fracturing the skull in three different places, and firmly
kept its hold until driven off with an iron rod by the
keeper. The poor child's head and face were horribly
mangled, the scalp being torn down, and the bones
crushed. We understand a boy lost his arm, at Wick, by
the same animal.—Forres Gazette.

JUDICUL DIGNITY.—The case of "Turner v. Norton"
was heard on Tuesday, before Mr. Baron Martin. This
was an action for false imprisonment, to which the de-
fendant pleaded not guilty, but ultimately gave evidence
in justification, no objection being made by plaintiff's
counsel. The case for the plaintiff and defendant having
concluded, Mr. Baron Martin said, " I think they had
now better go and shake hands again." Mr. Gray : "And
take another glass of gin." Mr. Hawkins : " Yes, if the
defendant will treat us." Mr. Baron Martin : "'Yes, the
defendant undertaking to treat the plaintiff." A juror
was then withdrawn, and the case was thus disposed of.

A "Row" Ns-nu FatlverrmEN,—On Tuesday, at one of
the Loudon Police-courts, two men were charged with
having created a disturbance at a coffee-house in Dean-
street, Soho, and with having destroyed a quantity of
property in the house. The coffee-house was the resort
of. a large number of foreigners, principally Frenchmen.
On Saturday night the defendants came into the coffee-
room, and said they 'wanted a row with the French-
men, and they immediately'hegan to insult some Frenchmen
who were in the coffee room. A general fight then com-
menced, the Frenchmen 'using their sticks and knives, and
the Engtitinnen their -fists. Cups, saucers, milk-pots, and
sugar-bans were the ammunition on boths-ides, and in
this why damage was.dene to the crockery and the coffee-
room to the extent or 50s. Mr. Bingham, the magistrate,
remaiked that, of The belligerents, the Vreachmen ap-
peared 'to have had the best. The waiter-said he thought
so too, but there were sixteen Frenchmen to six English-
men,undit.was sticks against fists. The defendants were
fined 50s.each„ and ordered in addition to nd-sureties for
thtiir"keeping thelleace.
FR/GITIBUL ATTACK BY DOGS.—On Monday, 31r. Geo.
Birch, of the firm of Birch and Rawlins, house agents,
Crnerry-street, called upon some of his tenants in Pritchett-
street. He knoOked at the door, which not being imme-

,tliately answered, and the door being partially open, he
entered. Seareray, however, had herput his foot upon the
threshold, when a young dog rushed at him and seized
him by the 'leg. He had seareelytime to shake•off the

-savage-animal when three °them-made their appmunce,
and instantlysprang upon him, worrying him.in the most
infuriated manner. One powerffil animal attempted to
seize hiniby-the throat, and in the spring bore Mr. Birch
to the ground. The dogs fastened on him in every-quarter,
ferocionalptmring his clothes to shreds, and ;lacerating
the flesh. At this moment his cries and 'the uproar
created 'l33,,the growling of the dogs attraeted'the atten-
tion of some of the neighbours, chiefly females, who ran.
to his assistance, or in all probability he would inave been
torn to Pieces. As it was, they found him 'l3ing on the
floor' bleeding, and almost insensible, with every article of
apparel langs. The shrieks of the women only added to
the fury of the dogs. One female, however, courageously
interposed between them and Mr. Birch, at. considerable
risk, and, with the aid of those present, st;tecefled in beat-
ing them off. How he was rescued, Mr. Birch -can scarcely
recollect.--Birmingham Journal.
