ATTEMPT= OrICIDE AT IftrICOSEFORD-DIIIIMI.
Georgina Stanley, rather a respectable and good-looking
woman, was brought before Mr. Burnham charged with
attempting to commit suicide at Hungerford-bridge.
Police-constable 7.5 L said that about 10 o'clock at
night he was on duty at the Surrey end of Hangerford-
bridge, when a gentleman came up to him with the pri-
soner_ , and gave her in charge for attempting to throw
Most, into the river. She seemed very excited at the
time, and be took her to the station-house. On the way
there she said she was very sorry, and she hoped he would
let her go home.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she did not
remember anything about it. She had had a few words
with her young man, and left him is an excited state, but
she was sure she never intended to commit such a wicked
act. How he got over the parapet she did not know.
The prisoner was discharged with a caution.

FAT AL POACHING AFFRAY.

MURDER OF ONE OF THE CROSS-WOOD
KEEPERS.

About 1 o'clock on Saturday morning three
of the Earl of Lisburne's park-keepers Caine upon a gang
of poachers, four in number, near Dolfawr-farm,
Joseph Butler, the deceased, arrested one of the poachers,
when William Richards (of Cefnoch, Llangwyryfon, a
farmer well known in the neighbourhood), deliberately
presented his piece and shot Butler dead through the
heart. The murderer made his escape, in company with
two of Lis associates, but the police are upon their track,
and all three are almost certain to be in the hands of
justice before many hours are over. One of the poachers,
Morgan Jones, a farmer's son, of Ty'nllwyn, Llangwyry-
fon, was arrested on the spot by one of the keepers, and
handed over to P.C. Jones, Llanilar, by whom he was
conveyed to Aberystwyth, where he is now in custody.
A brother of the prisoner is one of the three still at
large !nth with 014errr,..

ne litina.—The report of the Sanitary Commissioner for
1866-67 shows that the death-rate for the European
army was 301.5 per 1,000 men. This was more than half
as high again as in the previous year, much higher than
any year 1411C0 1841, when it was 4513 per 1,000. The
rate of Hell was the highest on record, and 1886 the
lowest. 1,071 deaths from all causes occurred, aad of
these 471 wee from cholera. The percentage of deaths
from cholera per 1,000 was 1314. Next to cholera, the
largest number of deaths was due to fever.
Tug MATCH BETWEEN KELLEY AND SADLER.—
When the backers of the men last Thursday evening de-
cided upon limiting the issue of tickets for the referee's
boat to 60, they reckoned somewhat without their host.
Mr. Ireland, when applied to on the following day, posi-
tively refused to accept the office of referee except under
condition'. laid down by himself. The most important
ctipulatious insisted on by Mr. Ireland were' that not
more than 30 tickets should be issued for the boat
from which he was to view the race, and that a space
should be roped off at the bow of the boat for the exclu-
sive use of the referee. On Saturday afternoon the re-
presentatives of Kelley and Sadler waited upon Mr. Ire-
land, and 'situ some discussion it was very properly de-
cided that that gentleman's terms should be agreed to.
Fifteen tickets have therefore been assigned to each of
the men. and no more will be sold for the referees boat.
Sadler was out on Saturday about noon, and went up. to
Bishop's Creek at a great pace, and Kelley following
almost immediately afterwards, the few watchers
on the towing-path had an opportunity of seeing
both men out at once. Kelley tried two boats rowing up
from the Aqueduct to Bishop'', Creek in each, while his
opponent eventually rowed up to the Crab Tree and back
in a style that satisfied his admirer'. Some efforts were
made to compare the " and opinions were some-
what divided as to the pace of each man, the majority
considering that Sadler had slightly the advantage as far
as speed was concerned. There was no actual betting
but Kelley would have still had the call had there been
any inclination evinced on the part of Sadler's party to
back their man.
