 Sophia Greenburg, aged 7 years, fell into the Yantic liver, above the falls, at Norwich yesterday and was drowned. Her frantic mother plunged in after her, and would have perished too, but for a passer by who dragged her out, and then recovered the little girls body.
 The passengers about Plainfeld's rail- road station Tuesday, saw a man walk out on the track and attempt to stand on his head between the rails in front of an approaching train. He would have probably been killed had he not been dragged from the track by some by islanders. He began to shout and gestic. ulate wildly, said he was John l.. Sulli. van and was on his way to New Orleans to slaughter Jun Corbett. The man, who is Benny Johnson, was locked uI pending an examination as to his sanity.
 A mad Newfoundland dog ran from Bridgeport to Stratford yesterday and bit two children on the way, as well as several dogs. Watson Smith of Strat- ford was also bitten in the leg. The animal was shot by Arthur Wheeler oi Stratford. No one knows to whom il belonged.
 Edward Mahoney disappeared myste. riously from Bridgeport nearly twenty years ago. Nothing was heard of him there until few days ago, when heswas located in Australia. He says he went away because the girl whom he loved was unfaithful.
 John Mitchell, an inmate of the Nor walk almshouse, committed suicide with strychnine yesterday afternoon.

 sRDAIIA, Mo, June 2.-Ek-Senator Ingalls, passed through this city and was interviewed regarding national politics. He said that he believed Mr. Blaine's health was such that 1t would be impos- sible for him to accept the Presidential nomination.
 M, Ingalls, said: 'FThere is no doubt that it could be his if he would signify his willingness to accept, but do not believe he will do so. Blaine and his friends can no doubt defeat Harrison if they so desire, and some third party will be the beneficiary"
 'tAnd who is that third party likely to be3'' y
 ''It would not surprise me if it was Mckinley. He and his tariff bill stand the world over as the emblemS of Re- publicanism, and if it Is neither Blaine nor Harrison 1t will probably bo the Ohio man."
