FENCING OF THE POND. Preaching on Sunday evening, at Blackpool, the Rev. Z. S. Balmer referred to the drowning of a lad in a pond at Blackpool a week or two ago. He said an inquest was held in the usual way and the jury brought in their verdict, but added that in consequence of the danger of the pond it should be fenced round. A few days ago a most brutal murder took place. A man went home drunk, seized his wife by the hair of the head, dragged her across the room, and kicked her to death. An inquest was held and the jar, brought in their verdict, but not a word was said about the pond being fenced round. He thought sometimes men were chosen who would bring in an agreeable verdict. He felt utterly ashamed that the Christian people of their towns did not rise up and say why that cool verdict was given respecting the woman murdered by drink, and that they did not ask for the pond to be fenced round. They made mayors of drinksellers and prisoners of drinker', but to his mind the man who lived to injure others and escaped injury himself was worse than the man who damned himself, and before God he would have a better chance. The drinkers were laid waste whilst the liquor sellers rode roughshod over them. DerrlsTay.—Professional "at home," Monday rout 10 to 1, Friday all day, or by appointment. —Mr. Lawrawarra 30.

A YOUNG Tutxr.—A week or two ago we gave particulars of three appearances which • little lad named Edward Murray. aged seven years, had made at the 131ackpool Police Court for stealing. Notwithstanding that he received several rtrokes with the birch-rod, the last time, and was counselled to be a good boy, he has been at his old tricks again, for on Friday he was brought up charged with stealing an indiarubber -ball from Mr. C. W. Reason's shop at West Cliff. He was also seen on the sands the previous day with a sympathising crowd round him, who were on the point of making a subscription on his behalf, when a local gentle. man stepped up whom he knew, and the lad immediately took to his heels. When the case should have been heard, Mr. Reason failed to appear, and after waiting some time, Inspector Sharrock asked for the lad's discharge.—Councillor Fisher, Mr. Singleton, and Inspector Sharrock counselled the lad to be good, and asked his mother to "try him again." She said if the lad was going to keep on stealing she would rather he would be sent to the reformatory; she would then know where he was. The lad was again brought up yesterday for a theft committed at the house 132, llornby-road, and ordered to receive six strokes with the birch rod.
