SADDLEWORTH.  Off to Brazil.—Mr. Wm. Fenton, who has been for a number of years employed as a calico printer at Messrs. E. J. Butterworth's, Denshaw Vale Printworks, leaves this week to take up a similar appointment in Brazil. Wedding.—At the Manchester Cathedral, on Tuesday last, the wedding took place of Miss Audrey Bradbury, of Uppermill, and Mr. T. E. Sykes, a member of the firm of Sykes and Campinot, Bankfield Mills, Dobcross. The honeymoon is being spent at Ilfracombe. It is understood that a sum of money has been received by the workpeople with which to celebrate the event. Accident--On Friday afternoon a serious accident occurred at Messrs. Wm. Buckley's Gatehead Mill to a boy named Harry Hunt, aged 14 years, of Back Green-lane, Delph. It appears that a warp had just been lifted into a loom, when it slipped from its socket, falling on Hunt's foot. Hunt, who is a twister, was stood at the back of the loom when the beam fell, the plate on the warp coming in contact and nearly severing one of his toes.  Old Employe Drowned.—A sensation was cr ,1 in Deiph and district when it became ku ii that the body of John Joseph Bottomley had been found in the dam adjoining the Delph and District Co-operative Woollen Manufacturing Society on Wednesday morning last week. It appears that Bottomley had received a summons to appear at the local polioe court on the same day as the body was found. At the inciuest the following day a verdict of "suicide during temporary insanity" was returned. Bottomley, who was 60 years of age, was the oldest workman in the employ of Messrs. Sykes and Campinot, having been with the firm for the long period of 35 years. Re. presentativee of the firm, as well as a number of old fellow workmates, attended the funeral at Heights Church on Saturday. Much sympathy is felt in the district for the widow and family.

She told him that her name was Doris Osborne, and that she had just been released from prison after serving her time for attempted murder. He declared that her story made no difference to his wish to help her, and arranged for her to go and stay with an old lady friend of his at Worthing, under the name of Dorothy Olive. When Hayter left her she told him to go to her solicitor and hear her story. It appeared that her father had ill-treated her mother, and when her mother died Doris Osborn had tried to stab the woman who had come between them.

Dyer's Death.—Last Friday the coroner held an inquiry into the death of Charles Etchells, aged 52 years, a dyer, who had been found dead in bed. A jug was by his side which had contained poison, but a post-mortem did vot reveal evidence to justify a verdict of suicide, and an open verdict was returned.

Lewis, the latter being an able accompanist.  Overlookers and Twisters at Football. The overlookere of Hurst Mille Company having challenged the twisters of the same firm for suppers, two teams donned the jersey on Saturday at St. John's ground. As the teams included several former players in one or other of the noted Hurst oluba, considerable interest was felt in the game. The burly oyerlookers started off with great dash, but they soon slackened off. Then the twisters began to chow their prowess. After many thrilling, impressive, and—amusing incidents, the twisters came off victorious by five goals to none. Mr. Joe Aapinall was referee. An excellent supper was afterwarde partaken of, followed by an enjoyable concert, Mr. Feeley presiding at the piano.

THE SERVICE OF LOVE,  RICHARD MARSH.  That Gibert Hayter left Lord Sabin sitting in his otherwise empty house in front of a pile of gold, that he found Lord Sabin five minutes later sitting in his ohsir Murdered, that five minutes later again the body was gone ancl all traces of the crime were removed all this the police declined to believe. Nevertheless, it was true. The same night be had prevented a girl from committing suicide. Later the girl came to the door of Sabin's house; she had thought she saw her step-mother enter. The girl—quite in her teens— was in distress. She was Doris Osborn—heroine of a notorious trial. She had tried to kill her stepmother---a woman of terrible character—and had just been released after the completion of her sentence.  Hayter befriended the girl, and sent her to Worthing. It chimed in with her suspicions that Hay-ter had picked up in Lord Sabin's house a ring which Doris recognised at her mother's. At a Covent Garden Ball a lady in a scarlet domino addressed him by name, and said that she was no friend of his, as he mould soon find out. An anonymous letter was sent to Miss Bryant (with whom Doris Osborn was staying) telling her the girl's story. Miss Bryant sent for Hayter, and in the middle of a terrible scene Doris entered the room.  Shortly afterwards Doris and Hayter left the house, but it was with the greatest difficulty they reached the railway station, for a crowd of roughs followed them all the way.  When they arrived at 'Victoria they found they had been followed, but Hayter managed to get a cab and told the man to drive to Lincoln's Inn. He managed to get Doris to Mr. Burnett's (the lawyer's) before she was much hurt. He left Doris in a private room while he explained the case to Mr. Burnett, but when he returned Doris had disappeared. A few days later Doris' stepmother called on Hayter. He threatened to have her turned out, but she declared she would say what she had to say first.

TOO BUSY TO LIVE.  The doctors of New York are growing more and more alarmed about the proportion of deaths, mainly from heart disease, and this they attribute to the killing pace at which New Xorkers live. Five-andtwenV years ago, they point out, the death rate was onlya3 per cent, whereas in 1904 it was 27 per cent, and the ratio is increasing. The awful condition of life in this city," remarked an eminent physician to the writer, " is responsible for the awful proportion of sudden deaths. Men eat too fast and work and play too hard. To see them rushing up the staircases of the elevated railways and subways, and  TEARING AFTER STREET CARS,' though there are hundreds of other cars behind within a few yards--all this is truly deplorable. I often reconunend to my patients—busy merchants, many of them, mind you—to lie quietly in bed for a whole day flat on their back so that their heart may lose forty thousand beats in that time, thereby, regulating many an evil condition." The writer talked on this subject with Dr. A. T. Weston, the well-known coroner's physician in New York City, who told him that last year there were more than 3,000 cases of men falling dead, or dying hardly less suddenly, from heart failure—an increase of nearly 600 cases over the previous year, and during the past three months alone there were over 1,700 cases to which coroners' physicians' notice was called, so that this year bids fair to surpass all others. Suicides, too, are increasing at an appalling rate, and when one observes the frenzied crush in the subways and overhead trains; the mad desire for rapid transit anywhere and everywhere; the plunging automobiles, the peeked mobs hanging from car straps in the street cars, one cannot wonder that this should be so.

ALLEGED BOYCOTT BY OTHER GIRLS.  SAD CASE.  At the Huddersfield Police Court on Friday, Mr. E. 11. Hill and a jury inquired into the cause of the death of Amy Saxby (17), cotton winder, daughter of Jonathan Saxby, 1, Lily-street, St Andrew's-road, whose body was taken out of the canal near Hillhouee-lane on Wednesday morning.  Mr. A. E. T. ilinchliffe appeared for the Westfield Cotton Company, Limited, by whom the deceseed bad recently been employed, and on their behalf expressed regret at the unfortunate occurrence and sympathy with the deceeeed'e relatives. It bad been Mated that the deceased had been in grief on account of being boycotted by other girls at the works. Hie clients were not aware of anything of the kind. If there had been anything of the kind they wonid have inquired into it and had it remedied. The deceased was a very smart girl, and they gave her a better class of work to do. They regretted having had to pat an end to her services just before the occurrence took place. Jonathan S,txby said that the deceased had been taken from one kind of frame and pot to another, and ever since then her companions had skated and jeered at her. She had not taken her troubles home, but had gone to the neighbours and cried about what had taken place at the mill.—ln reply to the Coroner witness said the deceased had never threatened to drown _herself.  Fred Kaye, overlooker, employed by the Westfield Spinning Company, said he did not know that the other girls had said anything to the deceased since sbe was given another frame. After being promoted to the frame she had not done her work so well. Tbe Coroner What was the result? Witness: She was dismissed. Tbe reason for the dismissal, the witness added, was that the deceased made too much waste. Her previous position had been filled. Waste had been found corresponding with the work the girl was doing. Witness said he did not tell the girl's father that she said if she was discharged she would not go home. The father, who was recalled, affirmed, in answer to the Coroner, that the witness Kayo did make that statement to him.  The jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide whilst of unsound mind.  A juror said several members of the jury wanted to censure the firm for the girl having lost her life. The Coroner said he did not see that there was any evidence to show that the officials of the firm had any knowledge of the circumstances under which the d iemissal took place. The reasons given by Kaye were. to bin mind, sufficient to justify dismissal. The deceased did not deny that the waste was hers, lie could not see any ground for censure.
