A singular Death,

An omnibus driver in London was killed
during the late storm in remarkable man
ner, which is thus described in q report Of
the inquest: "On Sunday, during the storm
the deceased went and got an omnibus and
horses to bring down the yard for the pur-
pose of changing the horses. Shortly after
man named Reading called to him and
then he saw the horses with the omnibus
coming down the yard, and the deceased
sitting on the box with blood flowing from
his neck. Witness got upon the box and
found the deceascd's head leaning forward,
and on lifting it up found that the throat
was cut from ear to ear, and the man quite
dead. He found that the telegraph wires
which had broke down, had inflicted the
wound. DR.. A. E. Samson said he was
called to see the deceased, whom he found
sitting on the box of an omnibus, quite
dead. His head was leaning on one side,
and on lifting it up, witness found that the
throat was cut from ear to ear, and that all
tissues were severed and the roof of the
tongue was exposed. Death must have
been instantaneous. He aiterward tracked
blood to the entrance of the yard, where he
saw largo piece of telegraph wire. The
wire, after breaking, had made loop over
the gate and caught the deceased while he
was entering, round the neck"
