OUT-PATIENT.  Mr- T. M. Macdonald, secretary to the King's College Hospital, London, writes ae follows : At a quarter to nine the other morning the porter in charge of the entrance hall of the hospital-heard a dog harking at the door, and coming out to send him away found three dogs there, two of them (white-and-tan terriers) standing up on the top of the ,flight of stepe at the door, while the third, a long-haired collie, lay beside them close to the door-scraper, "looking "—to quote the words of the porter who reported the case to me— "very sorrowful," and exhausted by loss of blood. As soon as the porter came out the two terriers left the collie with him and ran off. Seeing the sad plight that the dog was in, the porter showed him to one of the medical students who happened to enter the hospital at the moment, and he went into the front surgery to get bandages and water to clean the foot, the dog meanwhile lying quiet and taking not much notioe of anybody. When the surgeon returned the dog had moved away from the door, across the drive to the railing, of the grass plot opposite the hospital. On examination it was found that the dog had an artery cut on the right fore-leg, with a three inch wound. The leg was dressed and bandaged and the hemorrhage arrested, and the dog lay outside the hospital on the grass for a couple of hours, and then went away. The blood, stained footmarks of the dog, whiok can still be clearly seen, were afterwards traced back to the spot where he had received his injury in Yates's Court, behind the hospital, where there wae a pool of blood. In the hoarding between the court and the enclosure of the Royal Courts of Justice a hole, just large enough to admit a dog, has been found, with a sharp bit of glass lodged under it, and it would appear that the dog out himself in an effort to force his way through into Yates's Cuurt. It is clear from the marks made by hie pade that he took the shortest possible cut to the hospital, his track being round three sides of the building, close under it. walls. He had made his way tap Cl.. ment's Lane, through Grange Court, round Carey Street, and up through the hospital gates to the door; his two friends accompanied him up the steps, and barked till they attracted attention, and secured his ad Ilii.4loTl as an out-patient.  On Monday niter mien a serious boating acci• dent, attended with the loss of two lives, occurra on the river Lea near the sewer bridge, Bow. A party of five were on the river rowing, when, b 3 some accident, the boat capsized, and the wholi of the occupants were thrown into the river.
