supposed to have been injured by the storm of Wednesday night. Apropo of this storm, two of our astro-meteorologists - Zadkiel and Orion predicted "hot weather, cumuli and thunder-storms." At the inquest a theory was broached that although the uncle, aunt and niece might have all been thrown out by the upsetting of the cart it was hardly likely that the trio would have been all killed by that accident alone; and as there were no marks on the bodies to show that they had been struck by the lightning, the probability was that they had breathed the electrified oxygen of the air in its concentrated as set free by the lightning, and that instant death had resulted from that cause.
A Turkish Bath Company
After the accidental burning down of Mr. Groslobb's Russian Bath on the West Hill, there were many expressions of regret that St. Leonards should have been thus deprived of so valuable an adjunct to its health restoring characteristics. To repair and to even supersede the loss of this, a liability company was projected, with a proposed capital of £3,000, in 120 shares of £25 each. The provisional directors, with Alfred Burton, Esq. at their head, had secured the services of Mr. Groslobb, as manager, and they had no doubt that the undertaking would be successful. A considerable number of shares were at once taken up, and in the month of October, the following tenders were received for the erection of suitable premises:- Hayward, London, £1248; Sawyer, London, £1187; Hughes, St. Leonards, £1088; Howell, Hastings, £1030; Kenwood, St. Leonards, £1021; and Palmer, St. Leonards, £997. The last named was accepted and the work was soon commenced. The building was designed and planned by Mr. H. Burton of London, and the entire cost, including the purchase of ground and existing property, was estimated at about £2,500.
Chevy-Chase
Some excellent sport was witnessed on the 12th of February, westward of St. Leonards, on the occasion of a meet with the Bexhill Harriers. This took place at Bulverhithe, from which place the hounds proceeded across the Salts towards Filsham farm-house, in the locality of which a hare was started from a hedgerow, and pursued to a shaw at the end of Pebsham Wood. After going up the shaw, Pussy broke cover at about the centre, when "a view" holloa was given of "sly Renard", a fox having broke cover at the top of the shaw, and stealing away, apparently to Pebsham wood, but turning to his left, came right across the Salts, swimming the Haven, and making away to Mr. Farncomb's house. Then directing his course to Church wood, passed the said wood on his right, on to Monkham's, thence to Ninfield, Hooe and Risk wood, finally whipping off to a shaw belonging to Mr. Brook, the worthy master of the Harriers at Bexhill. The fox was "dead beat", as were also for a time, the hounds which pursued him. It was a most -
