SAP AociDKNr.-Lastsunday night, Mrs

SAP ActIDENr-LastS Sunday night, Mrs
Lucy B. Wyatt and her little son, about five wears
old, met with sad accident at Clay street Chapsl
which came near costing them their lives T,be
Chapel has lately been u4dergoing repairs and en-
largemen and to add to the convenience of its at
tendants. it has been found necessary TO close the
large front door the centre of the building ana
make two new the east and west sides of the
old one. 1t will be remembered that the entrance
was by flight of steps some sixteen feet long :
These have not been lengthened to extend the new,
DOORS but platforms have been raised leading from
the old steps TO them. Around these platforms no
rulings have yet been placed, they were com.
peted on Saturday. On Sunday night, Mr. Wyatt
his lady and little son, went TO the Chapel to attend
service but finding that all the seats had been taL
they started out to attend another church Getting
to the door and pereeiviRg that the rassway was
crowded with idle lockers on, MIs. Wyatt attempted
to walk around them to get into the street, but In
tie after her, distance of eight ten feet and
falling very heavily upon the pavement below. in
uring hoth-auite seriously but fortunately breaking
no bones The two were instantly taken to the
house of M James M. Taylor. where every atten-
ton was paid them but subsequently removed to
Mr.. Wyati's residence, Second street, between
Clay and Marshall streets-
This accident is attributed solely to the gather
of young men about the Chapel doors, who 90 there
for goos purpose, and would be far better of at
home Buf for their being huddled together on the
platform, like frightened sheep this lady could have
passed without endap gering her e and it is there
tore to be hoped that seeing the mproprety of such
conduct they will be guilty Of snch ndecercy in
future. as blocking up church door, to laugh and
talk and snake bad cigars. -6t@

a SINGULAR 1,Inn.

There is in the garden at Regents Park,
London, plain-looking sombre, anatiye of
New Holland called thebrush turkey whose
habits ofrearing its brood are among the
most remarkable in this history of aninl;tl in
stincts. Thebird is scarborough chemist, and
constructs for itself patent incubator, on
| chemical principles, BIZ which it matches its
eggs in scientific manner, without the tc-
dlous Sitting to which other birds submit.
This bird at present occupies part Of the
great ayiary on the south side of the gard
en-, onthe right allcr entering the gaze from
| the road. 1t is not very striking bird in
appearance. The upper surface ofthc adult
naIc, its wings and tail, is of a blackish-
brown at the base, growing silver gray at
the ends. The skin Of The head and neck
Is Of a deep pink, yerging on red, and thin
y s2rinkled with q short dingy hair The
waffle is Of a bright yellow, shading off in
/ to red In size it is nearly that Of turkey.
In gcncrafhabits, this bird in nothing re-
mafkablc, 1t is in reproduction Of the spe-
ccs THAI It's anomalous proceedings are man
Tested. It's a believer in fermentation and
co-oT Grafton, for when The breeding season
arrives, a number Of the birds enter into
partnership, and collect a hugh heap ofycg-
ctable matter, which is allowed 10 fc1rncab
till it forms a hot-bcd. Several weeks are
patiently employed in forming this heap
bat when or &c formed, it does duty for sew
cral years, new matter being added at the
top as that beneath rots away. In collect
ing, tie birds only use tie foot: tie bill is
not used at all, The surface of the ground
surrounding tic hot-bcd is thus cleared Of
every leaf and blade Of grass, every scrap
Of vegetation being added to assist in the
fermentation.
When this pyramidical mound Of green
stuff has had sufficient time to heat, and just
al the proper temperature for.hatching, Il e
large eggs are inserted, not side by side,
but planted at intervals from each other, and
stuck INTO the fusty, smoking heap perfect
" upright, the large end downward, and
at an arms length below the surface. They
are then covered up and left till Matched
Nhc.her the.chickens have to fight their
way through the warm, artificial mother
or whether, as Mr. Gould was informed,
thc females remained in the ncighboTbood,
is a question not yet settled; there is, how
ever, no doubt that in either case Nature
has provided for tie safety Of the young,
and that all lis instincts are adapted to the
circumstances OF its birth.
