The town of Shoeburyness on Sunday celebrated the golden weddins of two of its oldest inhabitants —Mr. and Mrs. Farmer, of C-mbridge-strest. A special service was held in the morning at St. Andrew's, and after the service the Rev. C. Varney invited the guests to a wedding breakfast at the vicarage. The cake was supplied by a lady resident, and congratulations and presents were showered upon the venerable pair. About a year ago a Glasgow gentleman golfing on Eglinton Links, Bogside, had the misfortune to lose from his finger-ring a valuable diamond. Notice of the loss remained posted in the golfhouse for many months, and latterly all hope that the precious stone would ever be recovered was abandoned. Last week, however, it was found on by a lady on one of the golfing greens.  There was an exciting scene during the Lambeth Regatta, which took place on Monday afternoon, opposite the Houses of Parliament. One of the competitors, known as "Nick of Lambeth," while holding a good position in a swimming race, was seized woli cramp, and at once sank. Several of the competitors dived for him, and rescued the man, who was placed in the police galley and afterwards taken to St. Thomas's Hosp.tal, where he was detained.  Mr. R,. W. Laden, coroner, held an inquest at Norwich on Monday on Mr. .1. L. Vaizey, assistant district locomotive superintendent on the Great Eastern Railway. The &ceased, who was 26 years of age, was killed by being jammed by some trucks, which were being moved by a horse. The jury returned a verdie of accidentally killed, and expressed the opinion that care should be taken to see that lines were clear before tre-As were removed.  The death has taken place with terrible suddenness of Hollinwood Railway Station of Lieut.Colonel Edward Brown Lees, of Rutland Castle, Kirkby Lonsdale. He had been presiding at a meeting of directors of a commercial company, and was on his way back to Oldham, where his was a familiar figure in business circles. He was a J.P. for the Oldham division of the Salford Hundred, and took a prominent part in local affairs.  The Duke of Portland, who is at present residing at Longwell Castle, Caithness, has been bitten rather severely by one of his sporting dogs. The animal got ent.mgled in a deer fence, and his Grace, on going to relieve him, was bitten before be could release the dog from its position. No serious consequences are anticipated.  Mrs. French Williams, of Union-place, Merthyr, has drowned herself in the Blue Pool, which is formed in the rocks at Pontsarn by a mountain torrent. The deceased was heard by her daughter (a governess on her vacation from London) to go out, and examination of her room revealed that she had left a letter indicating her intentions. It is believed that deceased's mind was unhinged. She was about 50 years of age, and a widow of private means.
