It aypears that he was formerly at • large brewery in the neighbourhood of and ash!. duties were somewhat difficult his brain be. come overtaxed. About nine o'elock he went to hie bedroom, and having procured a toy cannon, he loaded It with powdir. Having placed it on the right hand corner of the dressing table, he procured a match, and then stooped down and placed his mouth over the muzzle, and with his right hand fired the cannon. Mn. House, hearing a heavy fall after the report, rushed upstairs, and found her husband bleeding profusely. Assistance was procured, and the would-be suicide was Immediately removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, and attended by the hospital officials, who found the root and other portions of the mouth frightfully lacerated; but as the bleeding could not be stopped, little hopes are entertained of his recovery. A Hoexymoo• Lerouturrao.—An extraordinaryo currence took place near Leicester the other night. A man named Richard Byerd, in 1873, having obtained his discharge from the 3rd Regiment of Foot, took up his residenoe at Stafford, where the charms of a certain widow attracted his attention, and he married her. The lady, who had money, however, refused to hive • union financially, and the two separated. Richard removed to Leicester, and his love removed to Liverpool. Richard fell in love with another lady, and afte with a servant maid, who had money in the beak. Her he married, and the Liverpool wife awaiting his return from the honeymoon, gave him into custody. The arrest was made in a tramway car, and the some may be better imagined than described. The faithless one, who was with his second wife, was informed that he was "wanted "on a charge of bigamy. Wife No. 2 learned her fate with clistrected feelings, and Richard WM removed amidst the shrieks of his, up to that moment, fancied wife. Richard, however, was calm, and assured "the girl he left behind him "that he would soon return. When apprehended a printed sheet was found on him beginning with the lines— The maids of merry England, w beautiful and fair, With eyes like diamonds sparkling and richly-flowing hair. Richard was brought before Colonel J. Knight, one of the Leicester county magistrates and remanded.  I then  ON Sunday morning, the body of Mr. ViTilliam Peason, shovel manufacturer and confectioner, of the South-street Park, Sheffield, was found lying on the Midland Railway, Sheffield, in a tunnel, the head being completely severed from the trunk. Deceased, it is stated, has long been labouring under the delusion that his relatives were about to try to place him in an asylum, and it is therefore supposed that he either committed suicide or wandered on the line and was killed by the North to London mail train.  Tan advocates of Disestablishment at Leeds have resolved to spend £lOO,OOO in eitending'their principles ; and the Church party, not to be outdone, have decided to raise the same amount for erecting tifteeu new churches la the diettiet,
