MURDERED WOMAN.  Some short time since a box was found on the foreshore of the river, near Barnes, containing • mutilatod human body. No doubt a murder has been c.munitted in the neighbourhood of Richmecd. An elderly woman of eccentric halo.ti had a servant named Kat* Gibb.i, or Gibbing. Fr the last few weeks the old lady has not been seen, although her servant paid bille in her name and generally transacted matters as MIA A week ago the servant sold some of the property in the house for .£26, and she then left the place, taking with her some plate and anything of value • hich she could carry away. The human remains have been shown to Dr. Band, the police surgeou, and he states that there can be little or no doubt but that the woman Wai first murdered, and that the body was then boiled whole, so as to facilitate ita teiug cut up for the purpose of removal. Mt: doctor states that this boiling of the body accounts for its parchment-like appearance, and the theory is strongly supported by the tact that the copper at the back of the missing woman's house ts covered with fat, and Ihat there is evidence of resietalice. A police inspector will at once proceed to Ireland. Gibbs has been traced to a railway station, where atm took tickets for herself and child to Liverpool. It is surmised that robbery, a ith the view of obtaining the necessary funds to get to Ireland, was the motive for the crime.  The Stock Markets opened dull, hut pricea in several instances ar., now above Lila worst points; touched. Consols are unaltered.  POOR SusYrult.to.—The Mayor'sßjliet Fund, organised last D cerittier Lir the relief of the very serious distress ammo/ the working classes of Sheffield. which reached £12,659. has been expendeJ, end the work of the relief committees Les to be discontinued.  The Russian papers continue to urge the plan of a Conference of Ambassadors, notwithstanding the fact that it has been formally disavowed by the Russian Government. The German Government is decidedly opposed to the Conference being held in 13erlin. One of the medical men despatched by the German Government to Astrachan reports that a fresh ease of plague appeared last Friday at Wetlianka. It has been decided to burn down sixty-seven houses there, the value being estimated at 45,21t5 roubles.  According to information received from Szegedin, very cold weather prevails there. Several thousands of people are still on the river embankment, and the water in the town is rising instead of falling. If the had weather continues, there will belittle hope of saying the few houses that remain, and the suffering, of the homeless refugees will be increased tenfold.  S Hoi.Lows Y'S PILLs. —The sudden changes, frequent fogs, and pervading dampness sorely impede the vital functions and conduce to ill-health. The remedy for these disasters lies in some purifying medicine, like these pills, which is competent to grapple with the mischief at its source, and stamp it out without fretting the nerves or weakening the syst tn. Holloway's pills extract from the blood all noxious matters, regulate the action of every disordered organ, stimulate the liver and kidneys, and relax the bowels. In curing chest complaints these pills are remarkably effective, especially when aided by friction of the ointment on its walls. This double treatment will ensure a certain, steady, and beneficent progress, and sound health will soon be re-established. Tnis
