THE TEETH.—How often do we find the human face divine disfigured by neglecting the chiefest of its ornaments, and the breath made disagreeable to companions by non-attention to the teeth! Though perfect in their structure and composition, to keep them in a pure and healthy state requires some little trouble; and if those who are blessed with well-formed teeth knew how soon decay steals into the mouth, making unsightly what otherwise are delightful to admire, and designating unhealthiness by the impurity of the breath, they would spare no expense to chase away these fatal blemishes. But although most ladies are careful, and even particular in these delicate matters, yet few are sufficiently aware of the imperative necessity of avoiding all noxious or mineral substances of an acrid nature, and of which the greater part of the cheap tooth-powders of the present day are composed. It is highly satisfactory to point out Messrs. Rowlands' Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice, as a preparation free from all injurious elements, and eminently calculated to embellish and preserve the dental structure, to impart a grateful fragrance to the breath, and to embellish and perpetuate the graces of the mouth.—Sunday Paper. ALLEGED MURDER AT MONMOREGItEEN, NEAR WoLvenmemPeet,—Considerable interest has been excited in Wolverhampton and the neighbourhood in con, sequence of the apprehension of a young man named John Moore, upon suspicion of having murdered a woman named Ann Morley. It appears that the deceased, who was about twenty-four years of age, was servant at the Fox beer-house, Monmoregreen, between Wolverhampton and Bliston. She left the house on Sunday night last, and was found drowned about two o'clock the following morning in the canal at that place. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner Moore, alias Dreadful, with whom she had been on intimate terms, in consequence, it is said, of a quarrel which had taken place between them on Sunday evening, and he was accordingly apprehended. The inquest on the body of the deceased terminated late on Thursday evening, the investigation having occupied the whole day. Some of the witnesses gave their evidence greatly in favour of the accused, deposipg that he was in the Fox beer-shop aL the time the offence must have been committed. These statements, however, were directly contradicted both by other evidence and by the prisoner himself, who admitted being with the deceased until about a quarter of an hour before the alarm was given that she was in the canal. The prisoner is a married man, and the evidence left little doubt that en improper intimacy subsisted between him and the deceased. Several witnesses gave evidence of hearing screams and struggling shortly before the body was found. It appeared that on the night of the deceased's death the landlady of the house observed her and the prisoner Moore together in a very improper place, and upbraided her with it, and also threatened to expose her. The prisoner, in his defence, gave an account of his conversations with the deceased, which went to show that the deceased had drowned herself in consequence of the threats of her mistress, and the fear that his wife was coming to live in the house. The prisoner, it seemed, lodged in the house, but his occupation was not stated. The jury, after a consultation of an hour, returned a verdict of wilful murder against John Moore.
