TRAINS.  The bodies of three bovs—Alexaader an-1 Rebert Lawrie, brothers, and Robert Bleck, their cousin— Lava been fonnd in the Huhn anal near Edinburgh. The boys went for a low iu a punt, and it is supposed that the craft capsizal at a lonely spot, remote from possible assistance.  r. Fyfe brought forward figures to show, at the Scotch Sanitary Congress, that, compared with the first seven years after registration came into force-18.55 to 1861 inclusive—the deaths from zymotio diseases in Scotland had diminished during the last septennate from 2126 per cent. to 13.16 per cent, of the whole mortality.  The recent storm and high tides washed away a considerable portion of the embankment above the shore at the artillery range at Belhaven, and a large number of stone coffins have been exposed to view. The coffins are about twelve feet apart, and lie east and west. In one of them a quantity of bones in a wonderful state of pleservation were found.  At a recent meeting of the National Torift Society it was decided to invite the parents of scholars whose school fees have been remitted to open accounts for the children, either at the School Penny Bank or the Post Office Savings Bank, and to pay into the same the amounts hitherto paid for school fees. A publication suitable for this purpose was approved and adopted.  A murderous attack has been made on Constable Wylie, of the Birkenhead police, by a woman named Elizabeth I armstone, who ran at him with a large knife, and inflicted a severe wound in the breast. Farmstone was liberated from gaol only a few days ago, after serving a term of imprisonment for attacking the same officer with a shovel.  London was recently put in touch with the antipodes by the arrival of a supply of Tasmanian apples, and this consignment is likely to be followed by oranges, lemons, rai...inq, currants, apricots, peaches, figs, and other tropical and sub-tropical fruits from the Australian irrigation colonies. Some samples have recvntly arrived in town of a high character.  At Romsey, a young man named Edward Moody was carting a quantity of soda from Romsey Sta. tion to Mr. William's leather factory, and when on Mill Lane Bridge the h0t.... turned suddenly, broke the railing of tike bridge, and fell with the van into the stream. The horse was got out injured, but Moody was crushed underuelth the van, and when takeu out of the water was dead.  The following instance is given of the high price of the land in county Gas, on the entales of Lord Shannon. The tenant had bongo, lite holding under the Ashbourue Act, tubject to an annuity ot £25 for forty-seven years. It contained twesoy-live acres, of which ihe poor-law vabiatiou was £3O. The tenant purchaser's interest was put up to auction, and sold for £960. The Salvationists at Ashford, in Kent, have been subjected to violent attackA tinting the past week, in which many officers have been rougaly handled by mobs following the processions. A few nights ago the ropes of a large tent iii which :Salvation servives were .being held were cut, but the congregation escaped. The other inornitig, however, tho 'huge tent was found to have been pulled down during the night. _ _  Mr. Henry Hawke, Coroner for Birmingham,has died at the advanced age of seventy-eight years.
