Jour/nit A singular fatality occurred at Nottingham last week. A young man was accidentally strangled whilst at prayer. It seems that he had been in the habit of falling asleep at such moments, and his scarf having been caught by a nail or something like it, by the dropping of his head at a sleepy moment, he was actually choked. The "Evangelical Alliance" have determined to submit the Prayer-book to their "Nonconformist brethren" for revision, so as to bring it in accordance with Nonconformist views. It is expressly understood, however, that after the Prayer-book has been thus revised Nonconformists will not bind themselves to use it, CM bono the revision then ?
