kindness. I know a little matter of that s
life, and perhaps the lives of many others at the same
time." " How was that ?" asked we of our friend Raw-
lings, the model conductor. " Why, we had an Irishman
on this road watching a tunnel. It was warm weather,
so he used to go into the tunnel, to keep cool. I rather
think he used to take a little liquor when he was lone-
some ; any way, he laid down on the track, one day, to
listen for the cars. He fell asleep, and very imprudently
got his head cut off by the express train. Well, there
was the last of that Irishman. There was the devil's own
row in his shanty when we took the poor fellow up, and

t saved my

s soon as we decently could, for you know
it's -not agreeable to be surrounded with a distracted
family, when you're neither a doctor, nor a nurse, nor a
preacher. Somehow, I was always sorry when I passed ;
of course I felt as if—not exactly the same thing—but
just as bad might happen to me some day, and then
there'd be another row in a family. I told my wife about
it, and she sent the family some little things. The widow
of the dead Irishman was a Catholic, and, as I was then
on a very fast train, I would sometimes take up the old
woman on Sunday, and carry her to church at Martins-
burg. I somehow thought it was a satisfaction to her to
go to church, for she had but little chance in the world
anyhow. I certainly did not expect to get anything for it
in this world, and I expected they had so much scored
against me in the other, that it wouldn't amount to any-
thing there. That was during the summer. One night
the next winter it was very cold, and the mountains were
covered with snow; we were running to make time, when,
on turning a curve, the engineer saw a waving light on
the track, and we soon heard some one ahead shouting.
I was then on the platform. The engineer slacked up
and stopped the engine, and we got out and went ahead
in the dark to see what was the matter. There it was.
A large landslide had fallen across the track, near the
shanty of that old Irishwoman. She had built up a large
fire and watched for the train, for the curves were so
sharp that we might have been upon the slide before we
could see it. So, when we run up there was the old lady,
with her calico cap, swinging the chunk of fire, like a
revolving lighthouse, and there were the little Irish
carrying brush, like so many little beavers. She had
watched all that night in the cold. But for her in another
minute we should have run into a pile of dirt and stone
as big as Barnum's HoteL I should have got a 'pit
ticket,' certain, for I was on the platform. What would
have become of the passengers and train you can guess as
well as I can." We expressed a hope that the old widow
had been properly rewarded. " The passengers made up
about eight dollars ; the company afterwards gave her
shanty rent free, the brakemen and engineers bought her
a cow, and she made out very well. But when I handed
the money to her that night she said, Gintlemen and
ladies, I'm thankful, and may ye niver know the want of

two dioceses of Durham and Carlisle.

THE BISICOP or DURHAM consecrated a new church
at Bank-top, Darlington, dedicated to St. John the Evan-
gelist, last week. It is a district church under Sir R.
Peel's Act, and £4OOO have been spent providing free ac-
commodation for 650 persons in open stalls.

CONFIRMATION AT ST. HELEN'S.-0/1 Tuesday the
Bishop of Chester held a confirmation service in St. Mary's,
now the parish church. There were nearly 600 candidates,
including those from the neighbouring churches of
Eccleston, Parr, Sutton, Farnworth, &c.

sented to the Rev. John Ellison, from the congregation of
St. Bartholomew's Church, of this town,•on his appoint-
ment to the senior curacyof Wellingborough,Northampton-
shire. The testimonial consisted of a handsome gold
watch and appendages, with some valuable books. The

ST. MARY'S CIIIIECR, GRASSENDALE, IN THE PARISH
Or CRILDWALL.—The Bishop of Chester has granted a
license for performance of Divine services in this church,
which has just been completed, for two years, unless it
shall be ready for consecration before the expiration of
that, time. The endowment and other needful prelimina-
ries to consecration are not yet completed, and are not
expected to be sooner, but additional church accommoda-
tion in that neighbourhood being much wanted, the imme-
diate opening of the church for Divine service will be
productive of considerable benefit to the neighbourhood.
CLERGYMEN'S WIDOWS AND ORMANS.--011 Thurs-
day the friends of the above charity met in this town to
celebrate its anniversary and transact the usual business
of the past year. The object of the institution, which was
established in the year 1697, is to support the widows and
orphans of those clergymen who have officiated in the
archdeaconries of Chester, Liverpool, and Manchester,
and the anniversary is always held on the first Thursday
in August, at Warrington, Liverpool, and Manchester
alternately. Ven. Archdeacon Brooks, with other cler-
gymen belonging to Liverpool and adjacent towns, at-
tended divine service in the morning• at St. Peter's
Church, where a sermon was preached by the Rev. Chas.
Augustus Thurlow, rector of Malpas. A collection was
made in aid of the funds of the institution, the amount
,realised being £24. In the afternoon, a number of gen-
tlemen, lay and clerical, dined together at the Adelphi
Hotel, after the report as to the state of the funds and
the other routine business had been transacted.

A Wniumns D.—About a quarterabefore three o'clock
'on Wednesday afternoon, a hay-fieldbehind the residence
of Mr. Thwaites, bleacher, near the Meetings, Sharples,
was visited by a whirlwind. A quantity of hay, covering
ground to the extent of some forty square yards, was lifted
into the air to the height of apparently 100 yards, and some
of it was carried out of the field in a southerly direction.
NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.---ThiS company
will pay a dividend of five per cent, taking £43,000 out of
the reserve, and carrying over about £30,000 to the next
account. The earnings are £lOO,OOO more than they were
this time twelve months, but the heavy expenses inflicted
by the unusual wet of last fall, and the increased expenses,
chiefly in the locomotive power, owing to a greater mile-
age run, the rise of wages and the higher price of
materials, and taking a much less sum out of the reserve
than they. did this time last year, have . caused a diminu-
tion in the dividend of a quarter per cent. for the half-:year.

transacted has been such that little, if any, has been
unsold at the close of the day's proceedings. In Zse,
places the demand has been far beyond the supply
on the other hand, at several fairs, though the exhibiticre.
of fat cattle was limited, yet it was quite equal to thce,ittle
mand, the price of beef being so high that but fewtea
