Lord Sefton is dangerously ill, at Stoke Farm.

On Friday last a dog, exhibitinr, all the symptoms
of madness, made its appearance in this town, and during
the day bit several dogs in the streets. The animal was
pursued and took the direction across the town field, and
afterwards the fields from th,p Intake Farm and the Red
House, towards Cautley, where it was shot by William
Adams, of Doncaster. In consequence of the number of
dogs bitten, abont fifty have been destroyed in this town
during the present week.—Doncaster Gazette.
A correspondent at Whitby informs us that a farmer
at Grosmont-bridge, near that place, has a cat (lately kit-
tened) that, every morning for the last eleven days, bas
presented her kittens with a young mole, which she is be-
lieved to have caught in an adjoining field. We do not
recollect having heard of a similar circumstance before, nor
do we remember that mouldy-wart catching is anywhere
put down as a characteristic of the feline species.—Hull
Advertiser.

A paragraph ha 3 been copied into most of the
.London papers, stating that it was announced in the Don-
caster Gazette that John. Maude, Esq., of Moorhouse, one
of the West-Riding magistrates, had died from the wounds
he had received at tne West-Riding nomination. No such
statement appeared in this journal. We stated that he was
severely injured—not that he was dead. How the mis-
take has been made, we know not. But we are extremely
glad to learn that Mr. Maude is now convalescent.—Don-
caster Gazette.

CORONERS' INQUEST.—On Saturday evening an
inquest was held at the King's Arms, Moscow-road, Bays-
water, on the body of Mr. George Brown, a gentleman of
large property, but of very eccentric habits, who was found
dead in his bed on Friday. He had been for some time in
a bad state of health, but had been somewhat better on
Tuesday, when he went to the house of a friend. On the
previous morning he was visited professionally by Mr.
Walker, surgeon, of High-row, at his own house, 6, Peters-
burg-place, who insisted on his having some nurse or other
person to attend him, as he was fearful he would have a bad
night ; be then left him. On Wednesday morning and
Wednesday evening Mr. Walker again called, and rang the
bell, but received no answer. He called again on Thursday,
when, receiving na answer to the bell, be deemed it advisa-
ble to consult the proper authorities as to the propriety of
making a forcible entrance. This being done, the deceased
was found lying dead in his bed. • All his property
im-
mediately sealed up. He // as apparently about 55 was
of
yelars,
age. Several of the jury said the deceased was never
to burn a candle, and was a most eccentric eharact'err."oHne
.had a wife and children, but was separated from them. The
jury found a verdict of—" Died by the visitation of God."
