STRANGE CONDUCT OF A SERVANT  GIRL.  At the Gainaborough Police-court, last week, a lomestic servant named Mary Ogden, whose parents live at Navenby, near Lincoln, was brought ip under extraordinary circumstances. A few Jays since, the attention of Mr. tireen, landlord of the Woolpack Hotel, Gainaborough, was directed to the unusual appearance of a disused room in the upper part of the house. Search was made, and under a bed in an adjoining chamber the prisoner as found. She neither spoke nor moved. The landlord recognised hor as his late servant girl, and as he was led to believe that there had been a concealment of birth, be gave information to Supt. Truelove, who arrived at the house just in time to save the girl from self.destruction, for ehe had bound the bedoord and a handkerchief tightly round her neck. From a statement made by the girl it ap• pears that she had been concealed in the hotel no less than eight days and nights. She left the place on the 11th ult, but returned unobserved on the night of the lath ult. When the family had retired to bed, prisoner was in the habit of descending to the cellar and larder to obtain food and drink. The landlord was several times disturbed in his sleep, and fearing that a burglarly was being attempted he looked over his premises, but dis:iovered nothing to confirm his suspicions. As a precaution, he allowed the house dog to roam the lower rooms during the night, but the animal knew the servant girl and gave no alarm. Prisoner was remanded, ia order that evidence might be procured in support of the charges of concealment of birth and of attempting to commit suicide. -  The presentation of an address to Mr. Charles Stuart Parker, formerly member for Perthshire,was made last week in London by the Perthshire Liberal Committee, in recognition of I.is services to the country and to the cause of Liberalism. A few days ago a fire broke out in the town of Newtownards, nine miles from Belfast. A weaver named John sPlinight, and six of his children, were burned to death. His wife and a baby were saved.

THE ROCK-GOAT.-- Far away up on the mmmtnius of the Pyrenees and the Alps there are to be found light-footed animals of the goat kind the ibex, or ruck-goat, which somewhat resembles our English goat, may its horns are long and thick and strong its hair is long, with a black line down the buck --it will mount a rock, that looks like a _high wall, at abound; and the  Chamois pretty, frisking creatures, bounding about peaks and crannies, where there does not seem to be footing for a cat, but whore the hardy bunter follows fearlessly. The bold mountaineer (sure-footed and sureeyed), for he must bear to look down tremendous heights without turning giddy and sick), can alone follow theee pretty wild creatures. Two or three of these hunters usually associate for a chase. Armed with rifles, and provided with is small bag of twal, they start prepared for any hardship. Up the cold mountain sides they clamber, and when darkness conies on, they build a little turf hut, in which they crouch for the night. Sutnetimes the morning finds them blocked in their refuge by great piles of fresh fallen snow, out of which they have to dig their way. At other times darkness steals on them while in pursuit of their prey, and they must pass whole nights standing huddled together to prevent each other from falling into some fearful precipice. Then, at early dawn, they must seek the high regions, where the ibex, chinnois, or antelope skip trout crag to crag, for it once they scent the humors, there is small chaises of catching them. Sometimes they will turn on the pursuer, and tumble him down the precipices.

ELECIRIPITY AS A MOVING POWER.—A. San Francisco newspaper gives the folio sing account of an invention on which a ineche tee of that city has applied for a patent. :—The pi ineiple is the construeHen, for driving wheels, or enormous cilectro magnets, which diverge from the centre in the same form as toe spokes of an ordinary whe, I, the poles of each magnet terminating with the outer circumference. The electric circuit is complete as the msgnet impinges upon the steel rail of the track. As the poles of each magnet forming the driving wheel approach the track, an enormous magnetic attraetion is netted, and as they pass the centre, or perpendicular point cf the magnet upon the tr,k, the current is cut off from each particelar In• Lg-net, and the attraction abated. By the multipiicatien of driving wheels of this description, the la :eater expeets to acquire any degree of power requisite, and accompish any rate of speed at which a railroad car is capable of travelling, with no possible danger of the locomotives leaving this track. In plate of the cumbereeme steam boiler and tender loaded with coal, the locomotive will carry a magnetic battery of immense power. iii,rrty,stam Surcrni,—Mr. Langham, deputy coroner, heid an inquiry a few days sinew, touting the death of Mr. Edward Maynard, aged it, a jeweller, of it+, Leet street, Belgravia. ,irs.
