belonging to Mr.. George Hone. of Frindsburg, near
Rochester, has committed deliberate act of suicide
by drowning in the Medway, at Upnor, Chatham
The dog had been suspected of approaching hydro

little time hewas seen to, go to the river close by

after turning round and giving kind of farewell
howl he walked into the stream. where he kept his
head under water until he rolled over dead. This
extraordinary act of suicide was witnessed by several
persons, The manner of his death proved pretty

Head Centre James Stephens addressed an au-
dience of about eight hundred persons at National
Hall, Philadelphia, on Thursday night After his
speech he requested that questions might be asked
him, whereupOn gentleman on the platform asked
the following:
First. Whether the Fenan Brotherhood. organ
lied as 1t was for tho liberation of Ireland has not
used by weak or bad men, perurers and others for
the destruction of its purposes?
Second. Whether in the future the samc means
may not have been employed for the benefit of Brit
lSh diplomacy, resulting, it seems in the confed-
GRAFTON OF the Canadian colonies and the limitation
of Irish suffrage?
Third. Whether the course of the Fenian Brother
hood under its present and past leaders has not been
injurious instead of advantageous to the interests of
Irish liberty? u
= Fourth. Whether you, James Stephens, arc not a
BrltSh agent, employed Tor the purpose of DESTROY
ing the influence of American Irishnen in rescuinr
their native country from the thraldOm of English
government?
