ATTACKED BY A BaLL.—On letooday last Mr. J.
Skelsey, of Perk-lane HaU, near Doncaster, wee attacked by
• young Alderney bull in one of the sheds attached to the
f.rm premises on the estate, sod sem most fearfully injured.
The 'Limb placed at the top of one of the horns
of the boll had fallen off during this ennounter, and
in the course of the attack it appears that Mr. Skelsey was
struck in the left side of the neck, and a deep wound made
close to the carotid artery. He was twice tossed up to the
roof of the eked, and in falling or being trampled upon by
tee bull three of his rite were broken. Serious wounds
were inflicted in other parts of the body. The animal was
exceedingly quiet when attended to by the person to whom
that task was assigned ; but it had shown great impatience
when approached by those whom it did not know. Mr.
Skelsey was in • state of great prostration yesterday, and
it is doubtful whether he will recover.
MILLANCHOLY SUICIDI OF • GINTLIMAN.—The
village of Oaversham and the town et Raiding were thrown
into a painful state of excitement or Monday evening by
the report that Mr. G. H. Montagu, of Caversham-hill
House, • gentleman extensively known in fashionablecireles,
sad highly respected, bad committed suicide. The report,
at first, was regarded as incredible ; but upon inquiry it
was found to be too true. It appears that some months ago
Mr. Montagu had an attack of paralysis, which affected one
side, rendered him almost speechless, and injuring likewise
the brain. With careful medical attention be had so mach
improved es to take airings in his carriage, and also enemies
in his grounds, acoompaaied either by hie sister or some
other friend. On Monday afternoon be bad arranged for
• walk in his park, and a lady in the house intended &CCM.
panyisig him. Be appears to have been just ready, and was
embed to wait • few minutes, when be should have com-
pany. He replied, as usual, in • very kind manlier, that
his would walk alone, sad should not be long gone. A very
short time after his absence • person went to look for
him, and was astosisbed to find Mr. Montagu lying in
the pond in the park. He bad contrived to undress
▪ and thee plunged into the water. He was miscued
from his perilous position with as little delay as possible,
sad removed to his hems Mr. Maye the family medal
adviser, was moos in attendance, and everything done to
restore animation, but without effect, death following in a
abort time. The sad event has cast quite a gloom over the
whole district, as the deceased gentleman, frees his ex-
tremely spourtmes end affable manner, had gal oed the good-
will sod respect of all classes of society. Mr. Montagu wee
for some years master of the South Hunt, and in
that capacity gained • large amount of public esteem. He
was rather over 60 years of age. An inquest was to be
held last evade( ea the body before Mr. Dixon, the
coroner for South Oxfordshire.
