Some time data as established herself with him as a ladies' shoemaker Ito e• iwmurhood of Barbican, and they took up their Seeldessimpther. In course of time the adopted sou, Them moo wee stated by a sister of the deceased to be Thomas Wens, married, and the presence of his fosterMOW seder the same roof proving no longer desirable, he kneed her out and claimed her property as his own. In despair the poor woman sought her husband, a wry old man, and with his consent legal proceedings wine taken with • view to obtain back some portion of the wife's property. This seems to have proved nennooessful, and on Friday last the deceased, on =her nephew, was knocked down by him and othertreated. This appears to have filled her cup of slew. She returned to her husband, bade him "Good bye:rand, proceeding in the direction of her home, entered aolfwhonse at King's-cross, where she asked if she could have a bed.

DOG. —A day or two since a fine dog, which was known by the name of " Brace," and belonged to Mr. Oecrge Hone, of Frindsbury, near Rochester, committed a deliberate act of suicide by drowning, in the Medway, at l:pnor, Chatham. The dog, a fine animal, bad from some cause been suspected of having given indications of appioacalug hydrophobia, and was accordingly shunned ami kapt as much as possible from the house. This treatment appeared to cause him much annoyance, and for some days he was observed to be moody and morose, but still without any appearance of becoming rabid. On Thur.lay morning he was seen to leave his house and proceed to an intimate acquaintance of his master's at Upnor, on reaching the residence of whom he set up a piteous cry on finding that he could not obtain admittance. After waiting at the house some little time he was seen to go towards the river close by, when he deliberately walked down the bank, and after turning round and giving a kind of farewell howl, he walked into the stream, where he kept his head under water, and in a minute or two rolled over dead. This extraordinary act of suicide was witnessed by several persons. The manner of the death proved prett7 clearly that the animal was not suffering from hydrophobia.
