A train moving thirty-five miles an hour clears fifty feet in one second. An eminent physician thinks that men should not run after they reach 40. REVbALbi) by Time.— A singular atory is related with reference to the death of a police seigeant of the T Division of the London forge, which occurred about tweuty years ago at the village of Sipson, near West Drayton. The officer— a man named Collins — was found dead on the Sipson road, having apparently fallen fiom his hoiae, which afterwards returned home. At the coi oner's enquiry, Dr. Bullock said a wound on the fiont of the head might he batisfactonly accounted for by the fall, but he could not give an explanation in legard to one at the back of the head, except that it was the result of violence, and, in the absence of further evidence of a dnect character, the jury returned an open verdict. It is now stated that a man named Stevens, who at that time was a notoiious character in the distiict, recently made a death-bed confession in Amciica, to the effect that he attacked the officer from behind, and gave liim a blow on the head, which caused him to fall from his house. Stevens emigrated to America shoitly after the oecunence, ami leinained there till his death. Yes ! It is ceitainly true. Ask any of your friends who have pmch ised there.
