ARMED LUNATIC IN A SYNAGOGUE.  Considerable commotion was caused a few days ago in the neighbourhood of Duke's place, London, by the dissemination of the report that the assassination of the Rev. the Chief Rabbi, Dr. Adler, had been attempted by a lunatic, a Christian, in the Great Synagogue. It appears that as the Rev. Mr. Keizer was about to commence the afternoon service, an individual whose name is at present unknown drew a pistol from his pocket, taking aim at the Chief Rabbi. This is, however, contradicted by a statement that he determined upon firing at the Rev. Mr. Keizer. But it is not altogether clear against whom he intended to direct his fire. With great presence of mind Mr. Ralph Lazarus rushed from his seat towards.the madman, wrenched the pistol from his hand, and the culprit was immediately wired. The revolver had six chambers loaded, and a considerable number of bullets were found in the pockets of the intended assassin. On being removed into custody, he asserted that he had been "deputed to kill all the Jews." We learn that the offender has but recently left a lunatic asylum, of which he had been an inmate for some time, and we are informed that he has been handed over to the protection of his friends, who will doubtless see that he is debarred from doing serious mischief. It is &AlL:what strange, however, that the matter has nct been brouglit under the notice of a police magistrate. A correspondent informs us that the pistol was not capped, and that the man did not intend to injure any person. It ia stated also that he has been a regular attendant at the Central Synagogue, and for many years frequently called upon the Rev. A. L. Green. Ms former delusion was that be had been authorised to teach to the world a new religion, a compound of Judaism and Christianity. Acting under the impression, probably an erroneous one, that the Chief Rabbi's life had been attempted, the Rev. I. Cohen offered up prayers in the New Synagogue on the Sabbath, and numerous pecuniary offerings were made by the congregation.—Jew World.  SUICIDE Or A

MAN FOUND DEAD IN THE RIVER OGMORE.  An inquest was held on Saturday at the Mason's Arms Inn, North-street, before Mr. 11. Cuthbert. son, on the body of the young man who, as reported by us last week, was found dead near the Weir in the river Ogmore. and who was recognised as a striker, named John Thomas, residing at Aberkenlio.. His parents live at Cwmbach, Aberdare. The following evidence was adduced : Maria Short said she lived at Aberkenfig, and was the wife of John Short, collier. She knew the deceased, who had come to lodge with them about three weeks ago. Ile was a striker at the blacksmiths' shop at Tondo, and was about 21 years of age. He was a very Boller man. The deceased Came home on Thursday night from his work about a quarter-past six o'clock. He appeared to be in a great hurry, and ate his supper quickly. Witness asked him if he was going to the concert, anti he said, "No, lam going somewhere else." lie went away about twenty minutes to seven o'clock. Hereturned about half-past seven and sat down for about five minutes. Ile then got up and went out, and witness did not see him after that. There was no one with the deceased when witness saw him last. She saw nothing to lead her to suppose he would commit suicide. He was always a good man, and read the Bible or some good book every night. Witness kept the door open for him until 11.30, but he did not come, and witness stopped up for him all night. Ile was never in the habit of staying out late since he had lodged with witness. She saw the deceased and recognised him as the young man who lodged with her. Her house was nearly half a mile from the river Ogmore. There was a flood in the river on Thursday, but not so much as the day before. Witness was certain the deceased had from Ss to be in his pocket when he went out. Martha Hayes. living at Angeltown, said she saw the deceased in the river near the Weir on the previous day about nine o'clock in the morning. The body was below the Weir and the nearest side of the river to the road. She went home and told her mother, who came back with her and sent her to the pollee-station to give information. Witness and another girl pulled the body out of the water on to the stones. . .  P.C. Thos. Prothero said that on Friday the last witness gave him information that there was a body of a man in the river near the Weir, and witness and P.C. Davies went to the spot. They found the body lying on the stones about ten yards from the water. They examined the body, but saw no marks of violence. The body was then taken to the Mason's Arms. There were a few articles, consisting of a key, two pieces of lead-pencil, and a small book in his pocket, but no money. The Coroner summed up the evidence to the jury, and pointed out that there was nothing to show how the deceased got into the river. The jury returned an open verdict of "Found drowned."  The deceased was buried on Tuesday, about an hour before his parents and sister arrived. It is remarkable that there was no doctor present at the inquest.

A few days since, the attention of Mr. dreen, landlord of the Woolpack Hotel, Galnalsorough, was directed to the unusual appearance of a disueed room in the upper part cf the house. Search was made, and ut,,ler a hed in an adjoining chamber the prisonee I was found. She neither spoke nor moved.
