SHOCKING DZATEI OF • SOLICITOS.—Stephen Ford,
airman, was charged at Clerkenwell Police-court, with
Ganging the death of Mr. Samuel Ware, aged 39, solleito•
of Chard, by driving over him with a hone and out at

o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, the deceased, who
was intoxicated, was larking with seine girls, and reeled
off the pavement against the wheel of defendant's cart.

HOMICIDZ ST AN IDIOT AT FROM!.— Dr. Wybrants,
the °Groner for East Somerset, hu held an inquest at
Frome Union Workhouse, on the body of an idiot, aged
20, who died from the effect of scalds. The evidence
was of a very singular character, and the case will not
be without importance for the guiduoe of workhouse
governors. The facts were very simple. The deceased
youth was an imbecile inmate of the workhouse, and it
is one of the rules of the house that idiotic inmat.s
*hall have warm baths on Saturday afternoons. It was
the duty of the porter to see that the paupers were
duly attended to. On the 3rd inst. the deceased was
left alone for a few momenta in the bath roosn, the
porter having gone away to get clothing for another
pauper. Meanwhile an idiot named James Brewer,
went in with a pail of hot water, which, it appeared,
be emptied over the deceased, and the 10)11/i4.1 caused
resulted in death on Moudsy. The medical evidence
was very dear, and the coroner returned a verdict of
" Manslaughter against Junes Brewer." It should be
added that Brewer appeared to be greatly attached to
the decieued.

the big boy home from school or the holidays, when
his "respectable papa," indulging In the calm delights
of his after-Mauer Havana, condemns the "bed haat of
smoking, and inwardly unonpt young men," on seeing
a carefully preserved pipe aocidentally drop from his
son's pocket ; and, for the behoof at gush we have now
to rimiest to them an "awful example. Is the
pleasant district of Milborne Port there lately lived and
flourished a young man, who, in order that everybody
may know him, we will call Smith. Smith loved • pipe,
but, what had more infinenee over his fortune, be
loved the prettiest girl in all the neighbourhood—at
least he said she was such. and seeing the trouble it
brought him, we have not the heartto bereave him a that
fond delusion. But Roes—for that woe bee name—alter
letting Smith make • goose of himself for two years,
one floe morning married a widower tallow-chandler
with a wooden kg and six children ! Who shall
describe the grief of poor Smith when be hued the
terrible truth? We aren't attempt it. Sallee
it to may that after experiencing • paroxysm of
grief such as you will find depicted on every
other page in Miss Draddon's novels, he resolved
to emigrate, sad in the western hemisphere to
essay the healing of his broken heed by breaking stones
on the highway, or any other genteel oseupation. Firm
in this resolve be went to the lseal beak, and drew the
EV which he had been fondly saving against his mar-
riage. The cashier earefully wrapped tweedy-live
sovereigns in • £5 note, sad handed them to Smith,
who then walked home very sorrowful, for he felt this
wag step towards levering himself from a spot which
lied been very lovely to him for the mike of one who,
though deceiving. wu still deer to him. In pensive
thought he roamed restlessly about, and as the shadows
of evening fell he found be had unconsciously strayed to
the premises of the widower wooden-legged tallow-
chandler and his last Roes. Prompted by as irresistible
impales, he betook himself to the abode of • weeping
willow, fit emblem of the feelings of his own sad heart,
and poured forth in a voice tremulous with emotion the
lovelorn strains of "Good-bye, sweetheart, goodbye."
Bose, the herd-hearted and mercenary, was moved by
this touching devotion, and the agonized serenader had
the catidaction—end it was sweet—to see her shadow
and the shadows of the six children cast upon the win•
dow blind. But the widowed wooden-legged tallow-
chandler, who in the cool of the evening was inspecting
a "run" of short sixes, idsosbeard the mellifluous strains,
and, without patting down the stoat stumpy Goodie
he had in his hand at the moment, he drew near to
lisoover the singer. The sight of Smith in that attitude,
biting that song, sauteed the demon of jealousy
rithin him, and, impelled by the fury of his displw-
ore, he hurled with all the force of his stalwart arm,
she short six at the amorous youth. Smitten os the
nose by the greasy missile, the lover's tender final
"good.bye" changed to • howl of pain, as he rushed
from the spot. He was now brought back to the
region of common sense, and hi went home with a
swollen owe but resolved to love no more. And now
what solace had be but his pipe? As be thus mused ke

—Ou Friday, it ten p.m., Las gentleman and lady were
entering • Arst-elass carriage at dowerby Bridge railway
station, they were ettracted by • wailing noise pro-
ceeding from under one of the seats. On examination
• carpet bag was discovered, looked and sewed up. It
was found to contain • healthy male child, apparently
about six or eight weeks old. Its clothes were all new,
excepting one article. Mr. Whitehead, the statiog
inspector, directed the child to be taken to his house
where it received from Mrs. Whitehead every attention.
Dr. Gurney, who was called in, gave it as his opinion
that laudanum had been administered. A trade mark
at the bottom of the bag, together with a mark on the
leading bottle, may probably lead to the identillestion
of the unnatural mother, who had evidently intended
her infant to die trout suffocation. The police have ths
affair in hand.

ELOPINNIT OF • MAJOCIMOTZI li•GOITI•111. —For
some days put rumours of en extraordinary chamfer
have been prevalent in Manebesrer, to the effect that a
wellknown city magistrate had eloped with the wife of
broths r migistrate, and there in no doubt that the
rumour wee too well founded. The cue is a mut
painful one, and has plunged several families of the
highest position in the neighbourhood of Manchester
into the deepest grit The lady, who is a member of
one of the wealthiest families in the county, has, it is
said, lin income of £6OOO per annum in her own right,
and she is the mother of four or five young children.
Mecently, she, it is alleged, has been in the habit of
attending the City Polio. Court, frequently going down
in • cab about the time that the business was over, and
rennining for sometime. This circumstance, however,
ettrasted no attention. as it mu known that the two
families were on very intimate terms. The time selected
for the elopement was when the husband of the lady
was engaged at the Salford Hundred Quarter Merinos,
which have been held during the present week. It is
said that the parties have gone to the Continent, whither
they were followed by the lady's husband, his brother,
and other gentlemen, of whom the (curatives have had

FATAL BRAIN WORIL— AR inquest wee held in London
on Friday on the body of Isidore Naves, sged 59, •
French artist. The deceased not having been seen alive
after Sunday bet was found &al on the following
Toesday. He had devoted himself for some years to
the produstion of • large picture called" L'Entente
Cordisie, an Episode of the Crimean W•r," and,
infatuated with the work, sank into extreme poverty.
The port-mortern examination of the body showed
decessed to have been fairly nourished, the fat being
accounted for by the farinacious character of the bread
and potatoes on which be had lived. The brain was
entirely gone from the effect of decomposition. The
cause of death was fatty degeneration of the heart, the
latter probably having erased its action through the
mental excitement of the deceased. The jury returned
a verdict of death from fatty degeneration of the heart,
accelerated by want and anxiety of mind.

SHOCKING MORRIS. —On Saturday afternoon • shock-
ing murder took place in Fleet-lane, Farringdon-road,
London. It appears that • woman mimed Stallion,
living in Fleet-lane, has been for some time past on
intimate terms with • man named Tillett, a coal porter.
On Saturday morning a son of the woman, about nine
or ten years of age, was released from Holloway prison,
where he had undergone a sentence of seven days'
imprisonment for stealing cigars. The release of the
boy was made a matter of congratulation and of
drunkenness to his friends. From the prison the party
proceeded to Stallion's residence, and a bottle of gin
and three pots of beer were sent for. The friends did
not depart till two o'clock, leaving the woman and the
man Tillett alone. Soon after the neighbours were
alarmed by hearing scream,. Policie-oonstable Rolfe
entered the room and found the woman lying on the
bed with her throat out from ear to ear. The man
Tillett was also on the bed. He WM quite dead, there
being a gash on the throat. The bedclothes were
soaked with blood. Helical assistanos was at once sent
for, bet life in both instances was found to be extinct.
A razor was found on the floor, by which it is supposed
the man murdered the woman and then destroyed his
own life. It is supposed that MLitt murdered the
woman ins fit of jealousy.
