Tare Autrumomt.—At tees magistrates' aittirg
yesterday (Tweed's ) in applicati to was male in referince
to
this interims establishment. Thomas Hilton said he had a
Mete r, Margaret Hilton, who was • laundress is 8, nig-
-1147•11t. Ste was about 40 tears of age. She had from a
child
byteeg religious, and of late had been led
away machine:ion. of thine about her, and imbued
to leave her h one end Si- to the Abode of Love," in
Botainsetshire. She left for that place shout three with,
ago. Bhe had no moon, and no property, except the fur
niters in the house, and that was now being geld under the
surveillance of • eobbl-r, named Goldsmith, living at 2t,
Spring-aced, and who accompanied Miss Hilton to Somer-
selehire, but had since "...urned, oily, as he said, "to re-
main here a season." It was to prevent the selling of the
goods, and the trausmierion of the gooney to the Ammeter e,
that the applicant apponned to the bench. As the brother of
the delude.% woman, in felt it is du'v to do so. Mr. Car

pleased with her own penperty, and her brother had no
riga% to interfere.—Brighturs Guisrdson.
ATTEMPTED 3IVIDEIt •ND SUICIDE.—On Monday
Ism an attempt at murder was made in the village of lik-
ing', is Cassbriolieshirs. Robert Norman, a labourer, re-
sided with his wife at Indian ; sad Sarah Ann Pitch, who
is the deiight, r of his wile, by a former marriage, lived with
them. For some time past the wife had had suspicion of an
improper connection existing between her kushand and
her daughter, and, oa the day in question, her sus-
picions had been ein fumed. In consequence, it
was erring. d that the daughter should leave the
house. While etie was making preparations for doing
so the man e behind her, and cut her throat
with • large clasp knife. Apparently thinking that he had
takes sway thr Itte ot his victim, Norman inflicted a severe
wound on himself, by cutting hie own throat with the same
• ; but it is nit thought that the wound is of inch a de-
scription as to endanger Its lite. He has been committed to
take his trial for wounding w ink latent to murder; but should
the death of the poor girl he toe result of the wound ialicted
area her, the prisoner will no doubt be control ted to take
his trial fur wilful murder; awl, as the business of the
mummer anne for the county is concluded, he will have
to remain in prime for about six months before trial. Yes-
teeday the girl was in • wily precarious state.
Tug Coors.—The weather has been very benefi-
elal to the standing crops in this district (13 irnsley). Since

MIK4IIIIIiOII of showers and sunshiae, which has dons immense
pod to the wheat crops and the crepe in the gardens is and
armed Barnsley. We ere sorry to have to state that cm-
=are becoming more prevalent respecting the potato
in this district than we bad a fortnieht ago. The

whom they were sot completely tons.
