As was chronicled in the last issue of the "Gazette." on Friday afternoon Police Sergeant Hodgson and laudable* found the .body of William Catlow, a carter, in thc Cobb* reservoir, Oswaldtwistle. he having Leon in the water front the previous Tuesday night. It may he stated that a large number of basses M the township of Oswaldtwedle are supplied with drinking water from the reservoir in question, and many objected so much to drinking water therefrom that they actually went to Elm houses of neighbours, supplied from tho other reservoir, for their water. The Surveyor, on learning what had occurred, promptly commenced to run the water from the bottom of the reservoir in order to allay the uneasiness of the u.ers of the water. During Friday night thousands of gallons were used in flashing-the pipes, a considerable amount of water being run out. Fortunately the township was in an excellent position in regard to stock, and the reservoir will soon be replenished. An inquest was held at the Black Bull fin, Cockerbtaik, on Saturday afternoon. gUslis Ward, a married sister of the deceased, said that Catlow had lived with her at Waterside Cottage, 06waldtwietle, but had not gone home regularly.

There was absolutely no trouble to far as he knew, and he bud received 310 communication from deccssed.  The Coroner said it was a painful case. Toothache seemed a s-cry inadequate reason for any act sus,ls as that. Sleeplessness. is they know, was a terrible thing, and if deceased also had pains in his head to which his father alluded, one could not quite say whether lie wad resixstsible for this act or not. It wee a question for the jury. Thera was very little evidence to suggest that he was not in his right mind but, on the other hand, there wt‘ Igniting to suggest a-by he should have done this, because, apart from this ailment of his, he seemed to have has] no trouble of any sort. Ho (the Coroner) wcand suggest that they se,ulsl hare no hesitation at arriving at is vonliet of "Suicide." The question for the jury was as to the state of siceeaaed's mind.

THE PSYOHOLOGY ON THE CHARGE. THE GAMBLING ELEMENT  "The charge has always stood out in special pro minium, in the annuls of war," says Mr. A. B. Cooper in "Peartsen's Magazine.- not merely by reason ef its brillianee Ws a spectacle, its daring in coneeption. or its valour M execution; but rather because it 90 often puts the jARLIO of the day upon a tingle oust—the fate of a west empire or a sextet! 0111190 upon a single throw of the dice, or win all. 'Yes. it is the gambling element in the charge which makes it to fascinating, which rivets attention upon it as a feat of arms, often to the neglect of the more stolid type of courage, whether in defence or attack; just as it is the sh«,k of the charge whioh makes it so diseoneerting to the moral of the enemy.  "The charge is a game of hazard. It is touch and go with fate. It is fortune in the meltingpot "I have heard bridge ;playerc say that it pays to oall No trumps' occasionally on a risky hand. They say it oftener 'comes off' than not They are pnobably right. Some of the most successful generals have been noted chiefly for a proneness to hurl a charge at the enemy, if they got half a chance. They are student, of human nature as well as of warfare. A well-known writer said long ago: The fire of French valour never burns with a fiercer flame than in attack.' There it is. Violent action—an impetuous charge—breeds excitement, excitement casts out fear, and to a fearless attack only seasoned troops can present an unwavering opposition."  Mr. Allen, New Zealand Minister of Defence, says that Now Zealand in not sending a second Expeditionary Force to Europe. but reinforovinenta representing at first 20 per rent, of the original contingent. and then 5 per cent. monthly. At an inquert at Wroughton, neer Swindon, on Edwin Lee, licensee of the Swan inn.

He hanged himself with a chain. The jury returned a verdict of 'Suicide While temporarily insane."
