ERROR SOME WHERE.  'ell,. g: tily  It is a pity that a misunderstanding of the import of an impitant communication, should at all in which Doctor Allkin was  I eugagi  •ed, and—which is re  lorted in our columns this  week, under:the rather ominous title of '-Sad case of Suicide in Howard Lane." As the report goes, Dr. Alkinlis- stated. to have communicated to the -husbaud of the unfortunate woman, Jane Bromley, that she ought to beloOked after, meaning, of cottrie;that a watch should' :fie kept over her actions, lest tEOi. Might o any. harm to herself. The husband of the deceased, strangely enough, did not take any notice Ortlienimplied warning, and the sad consequences have too soon followed, as might not -unreasonably have been expected. We are glad, however—although the occasion was one in which much clearness of language would not have been superfluousthat Dr. Allkin found a not unfitting advoCatolica-nietriber of the jury who investigated the calanCWedne'sday last, and again, we must express olg, surprise that ;Mr. Bromley did not take steps to Wciire the deceased—who is a member of three buriaA,clubs--from committing the rash act, which hasAtiltninateriso disastrously tb' the f-AtUnate 5.ema1i,?h9F,44. ti`,Qtll„(l.;§"j4Jl-'l4itiPreciltably to .society. 4no IltilisiTl wilego 01 Xiqqa autluo:tiso   cnoinsti  fine style a glee "Hail Smiling Morn."

Next came, brimming over with inward laughter and delight, and ready to take the whole place by storm, Master Samuel Knowles. It would be well if some of the singers of I Monday night would toke a leaf frOm Mast3r Knowles' book and throw some spirit and energy into their work; but Master ,Knowles had hit upon the happy knack of not being at all afraid or ashamed, but like a good swimmer went head and ears into the business. "The Whistling Farmer's Boy" was very amusing, and the whistling chorus was equally so. Miss Annie Taylor's "The Ring and the Beggar Maid" was very well_ received. "The Slaveshipi rendered .by Miss Esther Cooke, was very well done. Miss Cooke has a rich alto voice, and she uses it to considerable advantage. The Broom Girls' (character song) by Made— moiselles liorsefield and Wainwright .was happily conceived, and well received by the audience. Miss Lilian Bromley is.ltiAe.petite maitresse in the pianoforte line. She is about eight years of age, and when we state that she is a pupil of Mr Wrigley it is quite .sufficient warranty of her good performance. The , -proceedings were, soon afterwards brought to a close. At the instance of Mr Braithwaite' seconded by Mr Hague, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr Bibby for having acted in the capacity of president, Mr Bibby responded in suitable terms, after which the Lord's prayer was sung, and all gaily dispersed to their homes at a somewhat late hour—near eleven o'clock. •  - - well.. received.  SAD CASE OF SUICIDE IN HOWARDLANE,  On Monday morning last, about five o'clock, Mrs Jane Bromley, the wife of a hatter living in Howardlane, committed suicide whilst, as it is supposed, in an unsound state of mind.- It appears that the poor woman retired to rest aS:niall,kne o'clock on Sunday night, and about five o'clock the following morning she deliberately left, her bed, in which were sleeping her youngest daughter and her husband, and threw herself into the pit of water adjoining Howaillane, and which is known as IlPL;aceck's ,Pond." ,She was followed by her husbanc6gi4 three sons, and recovered shortly after. ,ThaNdeceased had been in low spirits :or some time pa,st.t-nnd also under medical treatment. The further particulars of the sad affair will be found. below. '-1-; .•‘ 1/ , •• , 1
