DROW rD 13nnrka E•nt;ira nv A Doo.—A few days back, as a gen-
tlettem with a Newfoundland dog was crossing in Air-street fields,
en, where there are Iwo ponds the dog plunged into one
of t!ieni, and appeared to grapple with something, which his master
per-dyed to be a human body : on examination, it proved to be the
lya.ly of a boy about 14 tears of age. The dog instantly plunged into
tl e other pond also, and brought out a womates : this second cir-
cumstance created more alarm, and the pond was dragged, whets the
body of a woman genteely dressed was brought up. 'l•he bodies ap-
peared to have been for sonic time in the water : they were carried to
the bone-house to be owned.

A melancholy occurrence took place on Monday evening, at the
house of Mrs. Marsh, St. Margaret's-street, Canterbury. In conse-
quence of an altercation having taken place between John Marsh (a

in the house, Marsh procured a lowling•piece from a neighbouring
httu•e. and having leaded it with a large quantity of shot, fired it from
an adjoining room into a small front parlour, in which Mrs. mud Miss
Marsh, Mr. Harvey, and an apprentice lad were sitting : we regret to
mate, that nearly the whole of the shot lodged in the side of the head,
neck, and face of Mr. Harvey. who now lays in a very precarious state.
Some of the shot also lodged in the neck and face of his sister. Mullah,

into the street, and said " he had dime it. and that he had been re-
senged."—lle was immediately taken into custody, and stands com-
mitted for further examination.

t,.7tintately the horse took fright, and Mr. Bridges being alone in the
ch,.ise. and not well accustomed to the reins, could not at all manage
