DI-GRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A MUDFISII.—The very
curious and hideous mudfish, from the river Gambia,
which was kept in an aquarium at the Crystal Palace,
bas behaved characteristically since his arrival in this
totintry. Some time ago he escaped from his tank, and
Wandered none knew whither. The other day, however,
while cleaning out the large sower fountain at the north
sad of the hailding, the mudfish was found at the bottom,
Pours twice as large, having passed his leisure time since
'I.IB escape in devouring the immense quantity of gold and
Myer fish with which the fountain was stocked.
THE POISONING CASE.—As previously intimated, the
e *idence taken in this case, which was most voluminous,
I'as despatched bv the Procurator Fiscal to the Lord
'Advocate for pernial, and for his commands as to how the
?ase was to be disposed of. After going over the evi-
rn"ces his lordship came to the conclusion that the case
"t go to trial, and that the accused must be committed
o'fgoidingly. The case will be tried before the High Court
4nsletse°T.
_P Just iciary at Edinburgh, and it will be proceeded with
n as the necessary arrangements have beer cern-
The accused, we believe, preserves her equanimity
,T,c,ceedingly, and her demeanour is certainly not like that
u a guilty person. The defence has been entrusted to one
nf
the leading firms in this city, and it is stated that the
Dean of Faculty has been retained for the trial.— Glasgow
