On Saturday an inquest .was held at the Glaziers'
Arms, Water-lane, Blackfriars, on the body of Mrs. Sarah Thompson,
aged sixty-three. The inquiry was instituted at the request of the pa-
rish officers, who had heard that the deceased had been dead for nearly
a month, and that no steps had been taken to have her buried. The
jury viewed the body, at 4, Earl-street; it was placed in a black coffin,
which was not screwed down. The body was fast approaching decom-
position. The daughter of the deceased said that her mother, who had
been ill some time, died on the 7th ult. When deceased was laid out,
she (witness) did not think she was dead, as she appeared to be in a
trance. They formerly had a friend who remained in a trance for some
time, and a medical gentleman, on opening the jugular vein, caused her
friend's death. The reason she did not not call in a medical man to her
mother was that she feared she might be treated in a similar manner.
In answer to the coroner the witm as added that her brother wished to
bury the deceased in a respectable manner, but had not the means.
The brother, in a letter to the coroner, stated that the deceased would
be buried on Monday next. The coroner observed that it was an ex-
tremely odd ewe, but left it to the jury to say whether they were satis-
fied that the deceased died from natural eauses.—Verdict, "Natural
Death."

Measures for the incorporation of Wolverhampton
are under consideration. .
On Saturday morning, between one and two o'clock,
a respectably-dressed female, named Emma Green, residing at No. 87,
Salisbury.street, Edgware road, was found by a police constable of the
F division lying on the footway pavement in the Strand, apparently in
the agonies of death. She was removed to Charing-cross Hospital, and
was found to be suffering under the effects of having swallowed a quan-
tity of oxalic acid, with the intention of destroying herself. She is
not expected to survive. The unfortunate creature is only 21 years
of age, and the rash attempt was induced by her having been seduced
and deserted.
On Friday, between eleven and twelve, Mrs. Mos-
ley, of Grove-place, Walworth, was greatly alarmed at hearing the
screams of her daughter, a child about eight years of age, in the garden,
a large cat having sprung on her neck, which was lascerated in a dread-
ful manner. She instantly endeavoured to extricate the child, when the
enraged animal flew at her and fastened on her arm. Their shrieks at-
tracted the attention of Mr. Garland, a gentleman residing in the next
house, who got over the garden-wall to their assistance, and speedily de-
stroyed the rabid animal with the handle of a rake, but not before he
was severely bitten in the thumb. Surgical assistance was promptly ob.
tained, and the proper precautionary measures taken.
In one of the towns in this county, a shareholder in
a subscription library was anxious to read Moore's " Travels of an Irish
Gentleman in Search of a Religion," but was afraid that the " No
Popery" subscribers ,would refuse to admit the book if they ascertained
its true nature. He therefore simply entered it in the recommendation-
book as " The Travels of an Irish Gentleman ;" and the orthodox
High Church shareholders unsuspectingly voted for the proposed addition
to their collection of " Voyages and Travels P'—Gateshead Observer.
