    3. SMALL NEWS ITEMS.... Part 3 RUMOURED ACCIDENT TO THE ULLSWATER STEAMBOAT. - On Saturday evening a report was spread abroad in Penrith that the steamboat which plies between Pooley landing stage and Patterdale had met with a serious accident while upon its afternoon trip. So far as we have been able to learn the circumstances of the affair were greatly exaggerated. It appears that on the way to Howtown, the boiler had become slightly overheated, and while the usual remedy was being applied, the steamboat ran aground, and some time elapsed before it could be got afloat again. The timid on board were at first greatly alarmed; but before the shore was reached, good humour prevailed and all were highly amused at this their first experience of the sensations caused by a "shipwreck". WESLEYAN CHAPEL ANNIVERSARY, WARCOP. - On Thursday last, the first Anniversary of this neat country Chapel was celebrated by a sermon, a tea party, and a lecture. In the afternoon, a most excellent discourse was preached by the REV. J. SMITH SPENCER, of Leeds. A tea meeting was subsequently held, the following ladies presiding at the tables: MRS. TAYLOR, Hall Garth; MRS. COCKBURN and MISS LANCASTER, Flitholme; MISS LOY, Musgrave; MRS. COLLINSON, Langrigg; MRS. GIBSON, Mill Hill; MRS. FRY; MRS. RICHARDSON, MRS. SLINGER, and MISS GRAHAM, of Warcop. In the evening lecture, characterized by great power of thought, was given by the REV. J. S. SPENCER. MR. GEORGE FAIRER, of Penrith, presided. The title of the lecture was "Individual Power". We understand that the proceeds of the anniversary, including a liberal-minded and spontaneous gift of £5 from MR. WYBERGH, of Warcop Tower, reached nearly £40, and as the debt was standing at £160, it will now be correspondingly reduced. The attendance at all the services was good. _________________________ Barb, Ontario, Canada.
