The works in the interior of the cathedral of
Notre Dame, which were resumed on the 17th of August
last, will not be terminated before the 20th of December
next. The building will then be re-opened for public wor-
ship. The closing of the church was necessary from the
nature of the repairs to be effected.. More than 200 work-
men are at present employed in repairing the arches of the
nave, the chapels and pavement, in fixing the iron railings,
and in restoring the windows.
SUSPECTDD MURDER AND MUTlLATlON.—Consi-
derable excitement has been caused in the usually quiet
district of the Thorne Levels, during the past week (says
• Manchester contemporary), by the discovery of the body of
a female in a ditch, under very suspicious circumst•noes.
On Thursday last, as some children were gathering black-
berries on the edge of a ditch which separates the farms of
Mr. H. W. Godfrey and Mr. Charles Making, on the Low
Levels, in a very lonely spot between the Low Bank
sod the Hatfield Waste Drain, they saw an object which
caused them to call the attention of some labourers in
• field adjoining, and, on their reaching the place, they
were horror struck to find the body of a female in a very
advanced stage of decomposition. She was lying io the
bottom of the ditch, with both her arms cut complets4 off,
and they were nowhere to be seen. No weapons of nay
kind were found near her. Information was at ones given
to Sergeant Gibson, of Hatfield, who proceeded to the spot.
Mr. J. J. Littlewood, surgeon, of Thorne, was also sum-
moned to make a professional examination of the deceased.
Her name and addressers at present unknown. As inquest
was held at the Black Bull Inn, Levels, on Saturday lest,
before Mr. Merratt, the district coroner, but, after bearing
the evideece that could be produced. it was adjourned to
the 4th November next. From the depositions taken, and
from certain other facts which have come to the knowledge
of the authorities, very little doubt is entertained that
the deceased met with her end by foul means- The Polies
are taking steps to find out her name, and where she
comes from, end also the whereabouts of the suspected
moraine, and it is hoped their aorta will be eseeeedul.
