HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori tale by the closest observer ; they will ,never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. 52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5. HEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE.

It was the case of a gen tleman who had since fall e n a victim to an accident, probably produce I by that very lightness of the triggers whicL it wt is now sought to guard against. At Wimbledon t tat same gen tleman had so delicate a trigger that yehen he cocked his gun he was obliged to kw . ? his finger on the cock to prevent it from going ...)fl' up to the time of raising it to his shoulder. That was so dangerous a thing that it had been (lem , ed right to provide against it by a specific rule laid &'wn With equal fairness towards all, and with which nobody would be entitled to find fault. ( Hear, hear.) Ile believed it was the iutentioa of the council again to have a "Volunteer review. It certait ly' appeared that those reviews filled their coffers argely ; and ou that ground alone, so diubt, it l'as desiraMe they should be hell Bit he felt so iewhat (1. 111- deut about saying anything as to Volunteer re views himself, b2cause he found it stated that there was such a dread of the authorities, and particu larly of the Commander-in-Chief, who seemed to be looked upon as he did not know what—(a laugh)—that anything he said on that subject might have a different effect. He had always imagined, quite irrespectively 'of that association, that the authorities, and • certainly the person who was then addressing • them, had desired to afford every facility to the Volunteers on all occasions—(eheers)--and that instc s d fa o ce f a t g h a ro in a st ing obstacles in their way, or setting anything which was for their good, he had sought to serve them as far as he could. (Renewed cheers.) While looking at the Volunteer force as standing entirely on its own footing, which he thought was the proper light in which to view it, he had, never theless, held that a happy association between the Volunteers and the army would redound equally to the advantage of both—(hear, hear)—and he be lieved that there had never been any other than the most cordial feelings entertained on the part of the Volunteers towards the army on the one side, and on the part of the army towards the Volunteers on the other. (Cheers.) If, however, what he now heard on that wore was correct, he must have been mistaken—(a laugh)—and if that were so, cer tainly the Volunteers must have a peculiar way of making their feelings known, for from what he had observed among them he had always thought their view on that subject was the same as his own. (Cheers and laughter.) Certainly, he was not aware that they need have such an alarming opinion of the Commander-in-Chief or of the Horse Guards as some people imputed to them. He did not know that the authorities interfered with the Volunteers; but if he himself or anybody connected with his de partment could be of any use to that force, he could assure its members and promoters that it was welcome to their most hearty sympathy and co operation.' (Cheers.) Captain TEMPLER, on his own part and on be half of the Volunteers generally, acknowledged the heavy debt which they owed to the Commander-in- Chief and the army for the assistance they had ren dered to the force, and also expressed his conviction that the sentiments of an opposite character to which his'Reyal Ilighne:ss had referred were con ' fined, if not to a single individual, at least to a very small section indeed. (Cheers.) The Volunteers were only too happy to be associated with the army, and if occasion should arise they would prove this to be their feeling in a more palpable way than by words. (Hear, hear.) The speaker then suggested a verbal alteration in the 41st regulation, with a N ie w more effectually to carry out its object of excluding adjutants, sergeant-instructors, and all other mem bers of the permanent staff of Volunteer corps from the competition for the prizes open to Volunteers. Captain GOODLIFFE offered some suggestions for improving the financial position of the association. Their policy, he said, had hitherto been that of gathering together a considerable amount of capital, but they had now arrived at the Promised Land. ney had re...A.,Da_-41‘. yapatip_aum of £lO,OOO, and might now rust and be thankful. (N laugh.) 'rim y should add the interest accruing on their capital to the principal sum from year to year, and they might seek more remunerative investments than the Three per Cents. He also recommended the reduction of all sighting shots to 6d., and that the sighting tickets should be made current throughout the whole meet ing. The scheme of county matches, as hitherto practised at Wimbledon, had proved a signal 'failure, and club matches for small bores should be substituted for them. The Ladies' Prize ought to be thrown open to all comers, and rendered more attractive. The pull for the trigger of small bore rifles, he thought, should be limited to 21b. rather than to 31h. Several other gentlemen having also made sug gestions on points of detail, Lord SPENCER (chairman of the council) briefly replied, promising generally that the various hints thrown out that day would receive careful conside ration. The Council had not yet considered all the prizJs to be offered at the next Wimbledon meet ing, although on some points they had already come to some conclusion. With regard to triggers, he was glad to hear the expression of opinion that had taken place that day. The Council wished as far as possible to secure the safety of the I public, and a. 1.50 desired to give all rifle shots an opportunity of preparing for the next meeting, and to prevent their being taken by surprise in May, when they woul 1, perhaps, have already had some practice. The reason why 31b. had been fixed upon was that Volunteers always liked to sail as near to the wind as possible, and if 21b. were adopted they would be placed in this difficulty, that the weight gradually fell by use, and it would, therefore, be hardly safe to name that limit. The Ladies' Prize, instituted last year, was a great suc cess, and when the next. list came out it would be found that that prize had not been forgotten. The Council were quite ready to substitute club matches. for county matches with small-bores, but the details of how the clubs should compete at Wimbledon would require very careful consideration. He was sorry that the small-bore shooting had rather fallen off last year, as compared with the previous one. The Council admitted the importance of promoting it, and were disposed to mete out their funds fairly as between the Enfield and the small-bores. The day might come when a greater number of men would have small-bores in their possession ; but the council did • not wish to encourage the crack rifle shots merely, proud as they were of them, and glad as they were to see them, but wished also to encourage those who used the large bore, and make them take part in the competition. (Hear, hear.) His royal highness had pointed out very clearly how small and unsatisfactory their annual subscriptions were. They only just covered their office expenses, and it was most desirable they should be increased. But all that only showed how important it was to have a reserve fund on which to fall back in case of. a rainy day. That expression was particularly ap plicable to their meetings at Wimbledon, for last year they had exceedingly wet weather—(a laugh) --and but for the auspicious visit of the Sultan, their expenditure would have exceeded their income by about £5OO. There might be other occasions, besides bad seasons, to call for a reserve fund, and he fully agreed with what Lord Elcho had always said as to the importance of that point. The Coun cil knew they had arrived at a handsome figure, and it was a question whether they could now make some concession to the Volunteers. They had re solved to reduce all sighting shots to 6d., and there might be some further modification made on that point, although he could not then speak positively as to that. 'I hey already had a small investment in Indian Five per Cents. ; and whenever their financial advisers told them it would be safe to in vest iu better paying securities than the Three per Cents. they would not refuse to do so. White agreeing with Capt. Templer that it would be very undesirable for adjutants and sergeants instructors to compete for prizes, as they really stood in the position of umpires towards their men, he thought the regulation on that subject was now sufficient for the object in view; but, if found otherwise, it would be considered by the Council, and he doubted not that they would endeavour to amend- it. Lord Spencer concluded by moving the adoption of the report, which Was unanimously agreed to. The Vice-Presidents of last year were then re elected, with thc: addition of the Earl of Eldon and Colonel Halliday. ~The members of : the Council baying also been re-appointed, Duke of °AMBRIDGE expressed his deep regret that Lis excellent friend Colonel Kennedy was no lob Ter with them. (Hear, hear.) Colonel Kennedy Lai ►?ken great pains and trouble to promote the interests F that association, and he was sure they all felt his loss very deeply both in a social and in a military ;Joint of view. (Hear, hear.) Lord SPENCER said that his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief had done much, not only for that association, but for the volunteers throughout the country, that he was sure they could not find a worthier or better president for that . institution ; and he therefore begged to ask his Royal Highness to continue in that office for the coming year. (Cheers.) The words " £5" having been substituted for " £2O" in Rule IV. of the association, and Rule VI. entirely expunged, oh the motion of Field- Marshal Sir J. BURGOS NE the thanks of the meeting were given to his Royal Highness for his kindness in taking the chair and for the ablemanuer in which he had filled it. (Cheers.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE briefly acknowledged the compliment paid him, and also the honour done him in asking him to undertake the presidency of the association for the next year; observing that as long as his services could be of any use to the institution they would be cheerfully rendered. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the Council closed the pro ceedings. THE OPERA COMPANY. An abstract of this company's registration deed is given in a recent number of the Investor's Guardian. We have already mentioned that the capital asked for by the company is £200,000, in 20,000 shares of £lO each. The declared object of the enterprise is— " To purchase or otherwise acquire, for such sum and on such terms as the directors shall think fit, the fee, for a term or term of years, or other tenure, of the ground, buildings, and premises now known and used as the Royal Italian Opera-house, Covent-garden, London, and also of the floral-hall adjoining thereto, and also of the warehouse in Hart-street, Covent-garden, afore said, used in connection with the said opera-house, and also the scenery, machinery, properties, dresses, costumes, armour, arms, organ, gas fittings, chandeliers, musical instruments, music (manuscript and printed), furniture, fixtures, fittings and effects appertaining to the said opera house, floral-hall, and warehouse respectively; and to use and let the said opera-house and floral-hall, or eitlfer of them, for operatic, dramatic, musical, or other entertainments ; and also, if it shall be thought desirable, to remove the present building of the floral-hall and to erect on the ground thereof a building suitable for operatic, dra matic, musical, or other entertainments, and to use, or let such building for all or any such purposes ; and also to give operatic, dramatic, musical, or other entertainments, at any other place or places, and to furnish and provide all scenery, machinery, properties, dresses, music, and other effects and accessories, for all or any of the pur poses aforesaid. To make or carry out any arrange ments for uniting or amalgamating, either in whole or in part, the business of this company, or any part thereof, with that of any other comnany, corpora tion, partnership, firm, or person eugaged or mu:- r---ted in a-similar business, inci lent:a or conducive. to thet artynag out the business or ob'jiets of this company, or any part thereof. To transact and to do all such other ac's, deeds, and things as shall be necessary or expedient to carry into effect, all or auy of the objects before mentioned or indicated, or any of the objects before mentioned or indicated, or any or either of them." It is further provided by the registration deed (which does not correspond in every particular with the company's prospectus) that _ _ " Mr. Mapleson shall be entitled to ' the sum or remuneration of £lO,OOO on the condition that he shall co-operate with this company and become the manager thereof, and not give any further operatic, musical, or dramatic performances, except in con nection with this company, and gave this company the exercise and benefit of all engagements of artists into which he has entered.' Moreover, all such compensations and remunerations as shall or may appear necessary or expedient to promote the in terests and success of this company' are to be paid out of the general funds of the company." It will be observed that it is proposed to make the extensive purchases contemplated, not necessarily on Mr. Gye's terms, but " for a sum and on such terms as the directors shall think fit." By taking 20 shares—by becoming responsible, that is to say, for £2OO —the speculator of artistic tastes at once qualifies himself for a seat on the board. That is cheap ; but there is a reverse to the medal. The number of directors, which must not be less than six, must not exceed 10 ; and seven are already appointed, or are in a way to be so. Who, it may be asked, are these fortunate persons ? Here are the names, addresses, and actual liabilities, in connection with the Grand Opera Company, of the seven promoters of the scheme, to each and all of whom it is open on the very easiest terms—a subscription for 20shares—to obtain a seat at the board : Shares. John Clark, 3, Kempshall-terrace, Kilburn, Mid- dlesex, coal factor ... 1 Joseph Sail, 45, Cornhill, London, goldsmith ...... 1 Vernon Ellin, Burlington Haus; Westbourne park, London, clerk in holy orders ... 1 Samuel Miller, Providence Villa, Barnsley, York shire, coal merchant 1 William Riddell, Philip-lane, Tottenham, Mid- diesel, advert:sing agent John George Parker, Mumbles, Glamorganshire, Lao engineer, gentleman ... 1 Charles Roberts, Stockwell, Surrey, solicitor ... 1 These gentlemen are unknown in the. musical, literary, and artistic world ; but that will not matter much if their names inspire confidence in the world of finance. In any case, it is provided by the ar ticles that the subscribers to the memorandum of association shall be the first members of the board ; and it is also provided that the directors shall be entitled, as a remuneration for their services, and there shall be allowed to them out of the funds of the company, a minimum sum of per annum, and such further sum or suing as the members in general or extraordinary general meeting from time to time determine. It is difficult to understand how an experienced and intelligent manager, like Mr. Mapleson, to whom we are indebted for our first acquaintance with so many fine works and so many admirable singers, could imagine that he would derive the slightest benefit from the advice of a board com posed of such members as are already all but appointed to the board of the Grand Opera Com pany—who may yet govern its affalrs, if the company should really be formed. Mr. (Ivo was to retire from the cares of management altogether. But, considering Mr. Gye's position as the founder and actual proprietor of the most maaniticent and best appointed opera house that has ever been known in England, it is strange that he shoul.l have thought for a moment of making over his in terest in it to a comp an y w hi c h d oes not seem to be backed by any one person known as a great patron, a distinguished professor, or even as a humble ama teur of music. —.

Inkstands, Travelling NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. The general meeting of the members of this asso ciation was held at Willis's Rooms, St. JaMes's, yesterday afternoon. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cattbridge, president of the institution, occupied the chair, and among those present were Field Mar shal Sir J. Bprgoyne, Earl Spencer, the Earl of Ducie,. Lord Morton, the Hon. F. Byng, General Hay, Colonel Loyd Lyndsay, Colonel Halford, Mr. Malcolm, M.P., the Hon. R. Charteris, and others. In opening the proceedings, The Duke of CAMBRIDGE - said their winter meet ing was generally not a vcry4arge one, nor one that usually gave rise to much discussion. his obser vations would therefore be brief. With regard to their finances—the, question to which they would naturally look first—he thought he might give them a fair report. They had this year added to their invested capital the sum of £2,300, whichg-avethern a total capital of £10,300. In other years the amount added to the invested capital. was only £1,200, so that there was now a considerable increase upon that head. With respect to the annual subscrip tions, it was certainly a remarkable fact that they amounted only to £1,360, although the expenditure for the last year was £22,600. That was a state of things which required the consideration of all who were interested in the association, and which showed on how very precarious a footing it stood financially. In fact, it was only by extraneous means that the institution was kept going with such an enormous deficit. Fortunately the visit of the Sultan had contributed materially to their resources, and enabled them not to defray the large expendi ture which he had named, but to add to their capital the sum above mentioned. But as such happy windfalls could not always be expected, and as the society ought, if possible, to be placed on a solid basis, it became very important to consider whether the annual subscriptions might not in some way or other be increased until they were more commen surate with their necessary outlay. Although some of the charges incurred in carrying on their opera tions might be heavier than could be wished under ordinary circumstances, and although it might be desirable in theory to reduce them, yet, looking at their present position in a practical point of view, it would certainly be imprudent to diminish those charges, and it was to be hoped that they would be continued in order to keep their work going. He should add that the butts might have to be seen to, that the drainage was deemed defective, and the roads were much complained of—all of them matters that would require an expenditure of money ; and there, aga in, they must h ave a reserve fund to fall back upon if it became n ecessary t o attend to these things. So far as regarded their finances : he now came to other questions. The entries at first sight a ppeared to have dec r e ase d, but it would be found that for all the large prizes they had actually increased. The diminution h a d taken place mainly in respect to the pool and the Swiss carton practice. The entries hart realty In creased by 900 when.they Cattle tabs looked into. In the All-comers' Enfield there was an increase of 890, while the small-bore entries showed a diminu tion of 118. Next, as to the subj.;ct of rifles. Some would wish, he knew, that the shooting for the great prizes should be carried on with the Snider rifle ; and no doubt the time would arrive when it would become necessary to have that rifle, or what ever rifle might be selected for the general use of volunteers. But as long as the rifle for . ordinary purposes in the hands of the volun teers remained the muzzle-loader, it was not deemed desirable that that change should be adopted, and he thought it would obviously not be proper, 'because, after all, what they wanted to encourage was the shooting by the men of the various corps with the rifle with which at the time they were really armed. (Hear, hear.) Until the period came when a better arm—a breech-loading arm as it, of course, would be—was put into their hands, it would certainly not be a right- thing to shoot for these prizes with the Snider ; although nobody denied that as far as practice went it was very superior to the muzzle-loader. Then the ques tion arose as to the Snider or any other rifle for the volunteers. No doubt the breech-loader was well adapted for general purposes; and it had now been adopted and generally issued for the army. It would naturally be issued to the militia and the volunteers also—the sooner the better. (Hear, hear.) But of course that was a matter of expense, and where very large items of expenditure were involved it must be a question, and there must be a con siderable period over which such a heavy outlay would have to be distributed. Therefore the fact of the volunteers not having yet received either the Snider or the breech-loader which might be selected for ordinary purposes must not make them suppose that there was any disposition on the part of the authorities to prevent them from having that weapon, which they, in common with I every military body, would have as soon as finan cial and other exigencies would enable the authori ties to put it into their hands. (Hear, bear.) Having acknowledged in complimentary terms the receipt of a donation to the funds of the association from Sir W. Martin, in addition to a previous sum of £375 contributed by the same gentleman, his Royal Highness went on to say there was a subject that caused a great amount of trouble at their last Wimbledon meeting. Ile referred to the sending in from the various Volunteer regiments of the names of the gentlemen who wished to shoot for the great prize. Last year 248 men sent in their names, and were "squadded," but never appeared at Wim bledon ; and the consequence was that many other men who were there and ready to shoot could not do so because those 248 were expected and did not attend. Of course where such very large numbers had to compete for the same prize rather extensive arrangements had to be made to enable them all to shbot at the proper time and in proper batches ; and when once those arrangements had been completed, it was extremely inconvenient to have them upset, especially as the Volunteees came from every part of the count ry. Th ere f ore i t was of the greatest consequence that—allowing, of course, for illness and other accidents which could not be foreseen—the men whose names were sent in should really come up, and that those who were afterwards unable or unwilling to appear should give intimation of the fact as early as possible, in order that others who were anxious to shoot might not be precluded from doing so. A greet deal must depend on the commanding officers; and if those gentlemen would take a little trouble in that matter; and ascertain whether those who sent in their names tvould come up within a reasonable time or not, the competition would be greatly facilitated, and much disappointment prevented. (near, hear.) There was another point which it was requisite to notice. The council had decided on restoring the rule as to the pull of the triggers of small-bores, making the minimum pull of 3 1 b. (Hear, hea r .) U n f ortunate l y the necessity for that change was illustrated by a case which came to the knowledge of the council last year. PRICE.... 4d.

Finding nothing, he seized the widow by her and a: hough leiicvhi her to be dead, dragged her across the • - yard, and threw her down a well and then made off. The water was about 13ft. from the top, but the woman was able to climb up the chain, and get over the brink of the well, when she fell on the ground iasensible, and remained in that state for more than two homes. On recovering, she made her way to a neigh bour's house, where her wounds were dressed, and informa tion having been given to the police, Verdova was arrested. The accused was also proved to have only a few days before attacked a man on the high road at night, and, by menacing him with the same poignard, had forced him to give up what money he had. None of the wounds received by Madame Garin were very deep, and she has now recovered and appeared on the trial, in court, where the impassioned manner in which she gave her evidence breatcd a great sensation. " God," .he said in terminating her account of the crime, " has spared my life that the guilty may not go unpunished-;" and then, with 'a gesture of indignation, she pointed to the prisoner, who quailed before her look, although until then he had manifested a cynical indifference to the proceedings, simply opposing a denial to the charge brought against him. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, without the admission of extenuating circumstFees, and the -judge passed sentence of death. On hearing the judgment the prisoner turned pale, and sank back on his seat, completely paralysed with terror, and had to be assisted from the court. 71IE MURDER AT TODJIORDEN. --.-- As briefly reported yesterday, a murder of singular atrocity was committed on Monday night at the parsonage House attached to the parish church of Todmorden. The inmates of the parsonage were the Rev. Mr. Plow, Mrs. Plow (scarcely convalescent after confinement), a "monthly nurse," and three domestic servants, one of whom (the housemaid) went by the name of " Jane." Between ten and eleven o'clock Mr. Plow, who had returned late from a parochial visit, was preparing to go to bed, when he heard a violent knocking at the back door. On teveral previous occasions he had been annoyed by the visit of a young man named Tiles Weatherhill, a check weaver, to whom he appears to have given some offence by forbidding him the house. Weatherhill had found a sweetheart in one of Mr. Plow's former servants, who had been in consequence sent home to her friends near York. Since her dismissal Weatherhill had frequently threatened to have his revenge, and he had so pertinaciously annoyed Mr. Plow by hanging about the place that a private watchman was engaged for a time to watch the house, and prevent him from intruding upon the grounds. Hearing the disturbance at the back door, Mr. - Plow - suspected another visit from Weatherhill. He bade the servants remain in the house while he himself went out at the front door to see for himself. On going round he saw Miles Weatherhill standing against the back door. The moment Weatherhill caught sight of Mr. Plow he cut, with a small axe he had in his hand, a cord which he had fastened round the handle of the door to prevent the door._ from being opened from inside. This done, he drew 'a pistol from his belt and snapped it at Mr. Plow, but the cap miss d fire. He then struck Mr. Plow on the head with the axe, unlatched the door, and dragged Mr. Plow into the lobby. While Weatherhill was still dealing desperate blows with the axe; the three women servants came to the assistance of their master. They seized Weatherhill by the hair, and so held him while Mr. Plow, who seemed stunned with the blows, and was staggering with loss of blood, escaped by the front door. One of the servants ran out at the same time to fetch assistance. Of the two other servants Weather hill singled out the housemaid Jane, whom he accused of "telling tales" about his sweetheart and himself, and whom he had previously threatened he would be revenged upon. After locking the hall door, and then fastening the back door, he attacked the young woman with an axe, cutting her in so fearful a manner that one of the blows nearly severed her hand frosts the wrist. She ran scream ing into the dining -room, and endeavoured to close the door against Weatherhill, by pressing against it as well as and Weatherhill, contriving to -insert his arm betweertalia lintel, shot her dead will g plstaj aa a-axae as=a!VTrVoila. sessaming in the utmost terror, while Weatherilill cried out " Where's lay Sarah ?" The doors of tha p-rsoaage were fastened at the front and the back, and no habitation was within hearing d:stance. At this stage of the tr.ige4 Mrs. Plow's nurse, looking over the balusters dawn irate the lobby, saw Weatherhill reloading his pistol. After looking for the axe (whiCh he appeared to have mislaid) he wem.t into the kitchen, and when he came again into the lobby the nurse saw he had a poker in one hand and a pistol in the other. He put out the gas in the lower rooms, and went upstairs, still tauntingly repeating the question about his " Sarah." The nurse met him at the bedroom door, and tried to stop him, saying " Those you want are downstairs, to which he replied, "I have finished them, but you needn't be afraid, for you've done me no harm." He pushed her on one side, went into the bedroom, and attacked Mrs. Plow. He drew of the bedclothes, fired a pistol at her where she lay, and, the shot not taking effect, he began to batter her about the head and face with the poker. lii the midst of the attack the parish clerk (George Stansfield) and two gentlemen whom the servant .who had escaped had called upon for asistance, and whom the surviving servant down stairs had let into the Louse; made their appearance, seized Weatheehill with the Poker - hi his hand, and so rescued Mrs. Plow from imminent death. It was found that the bullet had passed through the bedding, the wadding remaining on the sheet. The pillow, with all the upper part of the bed, was covered with blood. Mr. Plow, on escaping by the front door, went to the house of Mr. Greenwood, the organist to the church. TWs house is about 50 yards from the parsonage. At that ti Mr. Plow had, a pistol in his hand. The cap had been snapped, but the pistol had not been discharged. Before Mr. Plow could tell all that bad occurred he fainted through loss of blood. Mr. D. N. Cocker ft, the surgeon to the family, was sent for, and with the assi tance of Mr. W. Longbotham, who was also called in, the wounds were dressed.

The rev. gentleman was conveyed back to the parsonagt, where he and Mrs. Plow now remain, both of them bang in a very critical state. Mrs. Plow is a daughter of the Rev. Dr. Molesworth, vicar of Rochdale, and patron of the incumbency of the parish church of Torniorden. As to Weatherhill, it is said that he had sp en t Saturda y and Sunday in visiting his sweetheart at York, end it is supposed that after that interview he returned to Todmor den with the intention of perpetrating his terrific crime.

Two were found at the rear of the parsonage (where tl ey probably fell during the struggle with Mr. Plow), a third was wrested from him by Mr. Plow in the lobby, and with the fourth he shot the housemaid, and reloaded it before going upstairs to attack Mrs. Plow.
