OOO. Thomas O'Connor was not able to establish his identity as the son of the murdered mail, and the property of Patrick has consequently been retained since the murder took place.  A curious scheme has been started in New York. Someone, who wishes, apparently, to combine the pleasures of being cremated and being buried, proposes to build an immense "‘inansoleum," containing cells for 30,000 bodies, which are to be "dessioated" by a consent of dry air, and preeerved in this oondition for an indefinite period. "Dessication" has apparently one comforting advantage over cremation. If a person does not happen to be dead when he is placed in the cell, the desaication does not hurt him, and he can lie there comfortably breathing the dry air until someone comes to let him out. The Shah brought his visit to Sheffield to a close on Saturday afternoon. He paid a visit in the morning to the celebrated Cutlery Works of Messrs Rodgers and Sons, and later on he visited the silver and electro plate works of Masers Dixons and Son. He was subsequently entertained to lunch by the Mayor and Corporation, and then left for Liverpool. The weather was most unfortunate. It has been raining since early morning. At the tVestminister Police Court on Thumday, Major Thomas Michael Field, of Mole Lodge, West Monaley, was charged on a warrant with uttering forged coupons of the British and Mortgage Company, Old Jewry, London, and defrauding them of about five thousand pounds.

After some formal evidence prisoner was remanded in custody. Beetle Hayward, an infant, whose parents reside at 52, William-street, took advantage of his mother's temporary abeenoe on Friday morning, and crawled into the back yard. Some chloride of lime had been sprinkled on the sink, for disinfecting, purposes and the baby dipped its little fingers into this and then sucked them. Shortly afterwards it became alarmingly ill, and the mother, fearing that the little fellow had been poisoned, instantly rushed to the hospital, whither she was followed by a large crowd. An antidote was given the child upon its arrival, and it shortly afterwards recovered and was taken home. Mr. J. F. Smith, of Norfolk Lodge, Sheffield, has lost by death his champion St. Bernard, whose appropriate name was Save. This dog was born in March, 1879, and was one of a litter of fifteen puppies, all of which died within a few hours of their birth, except Save. This is one of the reasons why he was given that name, as he was the only one saved out of the fifteen. One of his ancestors, on both sire and clam's aide, was the renowned Barry, which is mid to have been the means of saving over eighty lives in Switzerland, and which died in the performance of his heroic duty. Having set out from the Hospice of the Great St. Bernard to rescue a traveller, Barry was mistaken for a wolf, and shot by the man he was intent on saving. Save was a very large and rowerful dog, standing over niut. nigh at the moulder, and weighing lfifilb. He had a most successful career, and won several prizes and cups at shows. At the Sheffield Children's Hospital Save had a cot called the "Save Cot," for whic.h, in the barrel about his neck, he collected sufficient funds (S2O per annuxn). to keep it going,  The saying that doctors cliffer has just had a remarkable illustration. A distinguished authority on leprosy, who is also one of the members of the Father Damien Memorial Committee, paid a visit to the Whitechapel Infirmary on 'Thursday afternoon for the poi ruse of seeing the man Youxall, the quondam meat salesmen about whom so much public interest has recently been excited. Having carefully examined the patient, he pronounced the deiseaee to be, not leprosy after all, but that which is technically known as "symmetrical gangrene ." In order , however, definitely to determine the disease, the man is to be shown at meeting of the Dermatalogioal Society, the highest wart of appe, In such matters which exists in this oour' The Idelltiiio proof of the case natural/L:6w upon the question of whether or not the o‘f.le=n aca be discovered in connection'' into which full - in all oases  i the  beint.:  -.-, point made.
