Rawtenstall Choral Society The First Rehearsal of the Messiah will be on Tuesday Next, November 16th in Haslingden Road Schoolroom, at 7.30 pm. Anyone joining the Society after the 26th inst will not be entitled to sing at the next concert. Mr R.S. Lord, Hon Sec.
I hear that the engagement will shortly be announced of an elderly peer, who has been long regarded as a confirmed bachelor, and a lady whose fortune exceeds a million sterling.
Sion Baptist School - In the Sion Baptist school,Cloughfold, on Thursday evening, The Rev R Ensoll, of Burnley, gave a magic lantern entertainment descriptive of the scenes i 'Uncle tom's Cabin'. It was in conjunction with the young men's class, and was well attended. A number of miscellaneous views were shown at the close of the lecture.
John Clarke is a labourer and lives at Bonfire Hill. Crawshawbooth. On Sunday night we went drunk to bed, and at four o'clock on Monday morning he awoke and found his wife dead by his side. He however did not get up, but remained by the side of the corpse until seven o'clock, when he sent his grandson to school, cautioned him not to divulge what had taken place, and then having taken the door key to his daughter's house and told her what had happened, went off and got drunk again. The evidence given at the Coroner's inquest on Wednesday shows that the poor woman died from inflammation of the lungs. She washed clothes for a living; her husband called in no doctor, and the brutal indifference with which he regarded her death is sufficient to indicate the treatment which she received at his hands during her life-time. Fortunately it is not often that we are called upon in this district to chronicle such instances. The Coroner censured the man strongly, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence.
The Rossendale harriers - The members of the Rossendale Hunt (Mr Hardman, master) had a good day onMonday, when there was a good muster of horsemen and pedestrians. The hands threw off near Broadclough. A strong hare was found, which afforded a long run over he hill in the direction of Brex, where it was eventually lost. A fog setting in, the sport was somewhat interfered with. Several good runs were afterwards had, but all the hares got clear away. The sportsmen found the hares rather numerous, but very wild.
