The G,rman enteral the house in the evening, about fire o'clock, and was soon after joined by his female friend. For an hour and a half the house remained in quiet, which was at length broken by the detonation of a pistol, which was followed by a second report. The police were then called in, and on their demand the door was opened in a very slow and uncertain way by the woman, as she sat in a chair near the door, and as the offioer entered the house she exclaimed, "For God's sake, help me out of this, or I'll die !" She was bleeding profusely from a ballet wound in the left temple, and her dark dress was dabbled in warm blood. Alongside the bed, and stretched out on the floor, was the mu, who WWI also bleeding from a similar wound on the right temple, about half an inch over the eye.

PONYILSTONE. Sertoca. Aceonconarox, Some twelve months ago, the leading men of the above place being dissatisfied with the existing school accorntoodation for their own and their neighbours' children, took steps to secure a site upon which they could build a British Schoolroom, the size of which was it intended should be sufficient to contain all the children within the area of two miles. A committee was formed, and public meetings were held at Soar, a Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, in order to make known the scheme that had been contemplated by a few, to all the parishioners. The subject was warmly taken up by all classes, and their liberal contributions amounted to 400. The site fixed upon is the property of Mr. Jenkins, late of Dyffryn, Penceed, whose terms were agreed upon, providing the second party, who is interested in the property, would sign the document drawn between the parties by Mr. John Howell, Pencoed, who has taken great interest in the movement. However, the second party has not yet come forward to satisfy the ileaires of the trustees, consequently, some difficulties arising therefrom have led the committee to abandon the scheme, and to secure a site elsewhere, which they have done on the property of Richard Bassett, Esq. ; and the public undoubtedly will be glad to know that this gentleman ha .given it gratis. We are glad to find that influential men are alive to the claims of their fellow creatures, and sincerely hope that at the present crisis many will follow this gentleman's iniample.—Correspoluient. 411ANTRISRANT; Swami/41i Suicips, —4 man named William Tones, between 50 and 66 years of age, who has lately suffered froni an attack of parY alsis and other ailments, committed suicide on jMonday night last, by shooting himself.

CASE.  Before the committee of the House of Lm4'. on Monday, on the Wicklow peerage ease, after Mrs. Howard had been committed to the custody of the Black Rod for contempt, for refusing to be sworn' or to make any statement till the other side had t, made a case out against her, Mary Stewart, a ' nurse in the lying-in ward of the Liverpool Workhouse in 1864, stated in corroboration of the previous witnesses (Mary Beet and !ars. Higginson),l that Mrs. Howard was the lady who had selected Mary Best's child for adoption. Eliza (YHars, an assistant nurse at the workhouse, gave similar testimony. At a subsequent period of the day, the Solicitor-General asked for an adjournment, on the ground that important information in reference to , the adoption of the child had been volunteered by an ex-policeman named Manners, living at Boulogne. Mrs. Howard was then recalled and informed that she should be discharged from custody on payment of fees. She, however, declined, on the ground that she appeared inform. paupera. and was again removed in custody of BAck Pod. The further hearing of the case was adjourned till Monday next.  A Bachelor, according to the latest definition, is a man who has lost the opportunity of making a woman miserable.

Life is too short for one to have time for impatience with it."

ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE AT  LISWORNEY.  Isaac Hulett, of Lisworney, labourer, a man aged 65, was brought up in custody, before Mr J. S. Gibbon and Mr G. H. Jenkins, at the Police Court, Cowbridge, on Tuesday, on the charge of attempting to commit suicide on the previous Monday afternoon.  Thomas Hopkin, son of Mrs Hopkin, of Lisworney, said that he went into the Nash plantation about four o'clock on Monday afternoon. The plantation is on the side of the public road. He found defendant there hanging by a stump in the hedge. Had known defendant for some years. A rope was round his neck and fastened to the stump. He had the whole of his weight on the rope, and leaning on the bank. When I cut the rope he rolled down the bank. The cord was very tight around his neck. He had his mouth open and his eyes shut. I thought he was dead. I spoke to him before I cut the cord, and called him by his name. I sung out "Isaac.' He gave me no answer. I was standing close by him. Then I cut the cord and he rolled down off the bank. Police-constable 139 produced the cord. Witness continued : I spoke to him after cutting the cord. He gave me no answer, and then I rose ' him on his legs. I asked him what he meant. He said he wanted to do away with himself. I told him to get out of this, and I pushed him out of the plantation and across the fallow field. I met his daughter, and she and a man who was ploughing in the field took him down to the village of Lisworney. Defendant I is a labourer, and works for Mr Franklen, of Clemenstone regularly. Defendant was smelling strong of liquor when I out him down. It was tbe third attempt he made to commit suicide. A man named John Randall, who broke stones on the road, said he had eut him down about half an hour previously. Police-sergeant Martin said he believed on that occasion he had got on a wall and had cord in his hand, but had not fastened it. Defendant said that he only lid it for a lark, and to give something to talk about. If he had intended to hang himself he should have got a bigger cord. By the Magistrates' Clerk What was the good of having a lark in the plantation all by yourself. Defendant; They seen mo going from the road and I heard them coming up and all they said. Heard thorn say, " Why, he's hung ; he's hung." (Laughter.) Witness My brother saw defendant in the plantation, and he called me, as he was afraid to go in to him. Mr Gibbon : You call it a lark; but I can tell you it is a dangerous lark. I think you ought to be thankful your life is saved, and to take caution in future not to try on such larks. You are discharged. To defendant's wife: Now you take care of your husband in future, and don't let him play such larks. Defendant promised not to do such a thing again. The Magistrates' Clerk; You ought to be much obliged to the witness for what he did.

She spoke to them about the dust which they were creating, and went upstairs for the purpose of putting down the window in her mistress' bedroom. She knocked at the door, and, getting no answer, she opened the door. In doing so she felt something heavy against the door. She then went into the room, and on looking round saw her mistress suspended to a rope which was attached to a hook behind the door. She at once ran down and gave an alarm, and one of the sons immediately went upstairs, and she saw Mr Evans, who was across the road, and he at once went up. stairs. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that deceased committed suicide while in an unsound state of mind, and wished to express their great sympathy with the family, who were very much respected in Cowbridge.

STRANGE CEREMONY IN A CHURCH.  An extraordinary ceremony bail just been performed at Burslem by the Bishop of Lichfield. Some two months ago a man named Maize committed suicide in St. Paul's Churchyard by hanging himself over his wife's grave, and the burial ground being thus considered to have been polluted, the Bishop was asked to reconsecrate the ground, and • solemn service was held ha the church. Referring to the suicide, his lordship said: "We may well believe that such an act could not be done except under the influence of a disordered brain, but we must ever remember that in too many instances it is the conduct in former years that produces the disorder. Apart from all other evils, and from the many which may bring about such a state of things, there is one above all others which I am sure must suggest itself, because we see so continually its evil effects—l mean that awful habit of intemperance which is ruining the bodies and souls of so many thousands around us."  At the meeting of the licensing magistrates at Wandsworth, on Saturday, the question of granting an occasional license for Wimbledon camp came up for discussion. The chairman of the Bench said they had carefully considered the matter, and agreed to grant an occasional license for week days, to close at 9 p.m. Thsy would not grant an occasional license for Sundays.
