APPREHENSION 01 THE MURDERER..

It will be in the recollection of our readers that a short
time ago a horrible murder took place iu No. 1, Neal's-
yard, Seven Dials, the victim being a little boy, between
six and seven years of ago, named Jeffreys. At the time
of the murder the father of the boy absconded. At the
coroner's inquest a verdict of wilful murder was returned
against him, and the coroner made out a warrant for
his apprehension. The facts of the murder having
been communicated to tho Home-office, a warrant was
issued for his apprehension. From information received
Inspector West, one of the effective officers of the F divi-
sion, apprehended him this afternoon.
Several persons to whom Jeffreys was well known
accompanied the officer to Yorkshire, where they imme-
diately identified the prisoner. He is expected to arrive
in London to-morrow afternoon, when, iu all probability,
ho will brought up at Bow-street, before the n'agistrate, on
Wednesday morning.

FRACTIONS IN TIME.—The man that invented eighths in
timing watches had better have been at some other busi-
ness. A quarter of a second is quite near enough, and we
have resolved to take no notice of smaller divisions ; thus,
hereafter, " two-fifths" will be set down as one-half, five-
eighths as three-quarters, and seven-eighths as a whole
second. This eighth of second business is all a humbug.-

of the turf, took place this day week at his residence,
Whitehall Gardens, from congestion of the lungs.

THE DOG DocToß's SECRET. —Good food, dainties,
and want of exorcise are the destruction of parlour dogs
They become fat with increasing age, and contract various
diseases. At last the day comes when a dose of prussic acid
must finish the business, or a medical practitioner must
be called in who will by a severe regimen restore the dog's
health and appetite. An ex-kennobnan in ott• neighbour-
hood made a very comfortable income by this peculiar line
of practice. He divulged the secret of his system a few day*
before his dissolution to the estimable clergyman of tho
parish. " I always tied 'esaid this canine Abernethy,

"to a crab tree at the end of my garden for a week,
and gave 'em nothing but water. When I fetched 'em from
their mistresses they refused to eat what I should have
