DISTRESSING Occunayscs:.—On Monday a lad named
Abbot was waiting near the centre arch of Waterloo Bridge,
tor the purpose of conveying a young couple who had just
recut tied from being married at Lambeth Church, with some
of their friends, on board the ballast engine, when a dreadtul
crash was heard. Several persons, on looking over, saw the
poor boy bleeding from the head in a frightful manner, num-
bers rushed to his assistance, when it was discovered that
the injuries had been inflicted from a granite kerb-stone
which had been thrown by a man from the top of the bridge,
and immediately afterwards he started off at full speed
towards the Strand, and escaped. The stone was lying on
the top of the bridge, and it is supposed that the thoughtless
fellow intended to splash the unfortunate boy. lie was
conveyed without delay to a surgeon's, where, on examina.
tion, the skull was found to be completely driven in. He
was thence put in a cab to be remosed to Guy's Hospital,
but expired before reaching that institution. The deceased
had formed one of the wedding party, and his poor mother,
who witnessed the catastrophe, was in a state bordering on
distraction.—Loudon paper.

INTERESTING F.xc•r.—There is at present in the posses.
sion of an individual i❑ this place a male canary of about
fifteen years of age, that is unable to feed itself, and to whose
musical powers ill.naturad time has put a complete stop.
On the same floor, but in a separate apartment, is another
male canary, a son of the aged bird. This young one being
allowed to leave his cage early in the morning, and fly about
at pleasure, is in the practice of visiting his old friend, and
kindly feeding him as birds teed their young; and this he
does several times in the course of the day. He also perches
on the cage of his progenitor and sings with great spirit, no
doubt to cheer up his old relative in his declining days. The
old bird has a particular way of calling on this prop of his
old age when he requires his services, which are always given
and received with mutual satisfaction. N% hen the young bird
is in any way obstructed from attending to the call of the
other, Le appears to he very angry, and expresses his dsi-
pleasure in a certain noisy and screaming manner, which is well
understood by the inmates of the house.—Aberdeen Herald.
