The Canterbury people do not seem remark-
tedy distinguished for their love of the drama. Miss
Phillips, of Drury.lane, was to act one of her principal
characters, within the last fortnight, when all the money
taken at the doors was one shilling!

On Thursday last as Mr. Philips's fox hounds
were drawing the covers in the wood of Arundell Harris
Arundell, Esq., the gamekeeper thought be observed a
man concealed among the trees. On approaching the
spot he discovered it to be the body of a man, with a
silk handkerchief tied very tightly around the throat,
by which the body was suspended from the bough
of a tree, where it must have been banging some weeks,
as a considerable potion of the face had bren picked
off by the kilt's. The deceased was decently clothed,
and had a blue apron bound round the waist, being
similar to those generally worn by (girders ; and on
searching his clothes a farthing, a currier's tool resem-
bling an awl, and some cold meat, were found in his
pockets. Though every inquiry was made in the neigh-
bourhood, no informa•ion contd he obtained as to who or
what the deceased was. Judging from appearances the
man seemed between 40 and 50 years of age. A
Coroner's inquest was held on the fo lowing day, when
the Jury were of opinion that the deceased had hung
himself, but could come to no conclusion as to the state
of mind in which he was at the time the act was coin-
mittaid.— Western Times.

ATROCIOUS CASE.—A most diabolical out-
rage was committed on Tuesday last, near Saltash. L
appears from such facts as we have been able to collect,
that the object is a poor widow woman, upwards of 40
years cf age, residing in the parish of B itusflerning, and
havin4 two children. The villain who has been guilty of
the shameful and brutal offence is a young man named
Rae, formerly of East Stonehowo.. about 18 years of age,
of somewhat respectable cone, xions. On Tuesday night
last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, the unfortunate woman,
Grace Bremer, who lives in a small and lone tenement,
was about to retire to bed, when she heard seine person
knocking loudly at her door; on asking who was there,
someone from without replied, " A boy." She then asked
where he was going; he replied to Cargreen, but that be
had missed his way. She responded that she could not

or be would break it in. In fear for her own safety and
that of her children, she admitted the stranger, who said
he was cold, hungry, and weary, that he had come from
Devonport and Saltash, and begged for something to eat
that though he had no money then to pay for it, be would
call and pay the cost on the next ilay. The woman told
him she was a lone and poor widow, and the only thing
she could give him was some tea, which, after kindling
the fire, she cheerfully provided. As soon as he had par-
taken of this he said he must sleep there the night. This
he was told was impossible, but the public house was little
more than a quarter of a mile on the road, and there he
might have accommodation. He replied it was impossible
for him to go so far that night, and he would sleep in a
chair (pointing to a chair which stood in the kitchen) if
she would not give him a bed. She then brought her
own bed from up stairs and put it on the ft or, and left
her unwelcome visiter to retire to rest. Half suspecting
the character of her gue-it, she merely laid down by the
side of the children without taking off her clothes. In
about a quarter of an hour the man came into her room
naked, and approaching to her bedside, took up one of
the children, and threw it to the bottom of the bed,
saving to the mother, with the most hideous oaths,
pis-
tols here, and I'll blow your brains out if you say a word."

he seized the fire.shovel, and beat her most unmercifully.
She fell on her knees, beseeching her life, but all entreaty
for some time appeared useless, until the villain relenting,
said that he belonged to a gang, that if he didn't kill her
be should be ki.led himself ; but if ate would nuke oath
that nobody should know of the affair, he would save her
life. To this she consented, and he administered an oath,
the words of which she did not recollect, but ended with
calling the Holy Ghost to witness. He further said, that
he had passed the house with two or three others, a few
nights before, and but for him they would have come in
and murdered her. The heartless fellow then coolly struck
a light, and sent the woman into the court yard for some
water, to wash the blood off their persons; with this she
complied, and after lifting the handle of the pump twice,
in order to deceive the villain, whom she had left in the
house, she made off towards the public-house, to which
she had directed Rae the previous night. Here she con-
trived, though faint with exertion and loss of blood, to
make herself heard, and she was taken in, while two
young men went to the house, to see for the children.
On their arrival they found the villain had decamped,
when they bid themselves in the shrubbery of Moditonham,
near which he must pass if he went on the road towards
the woman, who had escaped his murderous hands, and,
as they expected, he shortly after came over the gate, and
was seized by his pursuers.—Devonport Telegraph.
