Walker at Park-lire, Ilatfiad, near Doncaster, was set
on fire, in consequence of the lads incautiously siting
lighted straw for singing the horses' legs, the flames
of which communicating with the litter, the place was
almost instantly on a blaze. Before assistance could
be procured, three horses were burnt to death, and but
from the linmane and prompt exertions rendered by H.
Pilkington, Esq. and his servants, who were alarmed by
the servant girl, the whole of the premises, with several
corn and bar stacks, might have been destroyed.' Mr.
and Mrs. Walker were unfortunately tont Jed to their
room by indisposition.
last week, an inquisition was held inßirmingbam, be.
forrMr. Whateley, Coroner, on view of the body of a
child whose death was occasioned by its clothes taking

given to the frequent occurreeee of accidents of this
nature, should seems to have so little effect in the way of
caution to those on whom- th, care and protection of
children of tender years devolve.

beauties of their kind, than two Shetland heifers, Miaaa
and Brenda by name, the property of Mr. James Bell of
Leith. These little &Dime!s were very fat, and made
their appeuancs at the show, as is supposed, in a very
different condition from that in which they left their
native shores. Minna has quaffed 84 wiles to the
Owe, from Mr. Bell's estate in Dumfries-shire, and
joined her sister Brenda, which lad been fed near

The Committee of the Society were very much
obliged to these Judges, in coming to town, for the put..
pose of acting on this occasion, and affording the assist.
ince of their acknowledged practical skill in awarding

.430 the wb.ole, the success of this experiment of a Fat
Stock Show must be ver7 gratifying to the Highland
Society of Scotland. b I suggestions have been
made to the Committee who officiated at Queensberry
Adage for,enlarging the range of premiums, so as to
f:isitiprehentl. not merely those classes exhibited on
Tourrolay as extra at., k, but also sheep, and other kinds
of stock. Indeed some very fine Leicester wedders were
alioienhy lib. Dickson, and two very beautiful pigs
from MV,Gray!s farm at Georgiemsins, near Edinburgh.
It is understood that it would be yerylagreeable to many
interests, if, in addition to the various local shows which
hare lung been annually held for the Society's premiums,
some eneonragement was given for a competition, at
this season of fat wedders of the black-faced, Cheviot,
