A CHILD KILLED BY A HEIFER - On Saturday morning last, a little girl, aged 18 months, belonging to a labourer of this town named Casey, in company with other children, was strolling along the path, opposite Quarry Terrace, in the principle thoroughfare leading into the cattle market when a heifer, with its calf following it, which were being driven into the market, became suddenly infuriated, and ran at the child above named, as it stood against the wall and gored it, one of its horns pierced its right temple to the depth of two or three inches, and inflicted a frightful gash. The little sufferer lingered about two hours. The heifer was the property of Samuel Codd of North Kelsey.

MELTON MOWBRAY - CHANGERINGING - this pleasing and delightful art would have been sweetly and cleverly illustrated on the bells of Melton church, last Tuesday, by some proffessionals from Leicester, but for a most dastardly and dirty trick on the part of our own ringers, who, being unequal to changeringing themselves, and jealous of their cleverer rivals, in true dog-in-the-manger spirit, "doctored" the bells, so as soon to stop the sweet sounds, which began to be elicited. It is at least two dozen years since a good peal of this kind was heard in Melton, and many of the inhabitants were much disappointed and displeased at being robbed of so great a musical treat as had been anticipated on Tuesday. If these Melton ringers will not emulate the respectability of their proffessional visitors, they had better receive a hint to resign the ropes: at least, such tricks will not be tolerated by the rate payers, who will perhaps do well to "revive" this matter at the church rate meeting tomorrow (Saturday).
