A young woman named Bessie Smith, about 24 years of ago, and who occupied a back kitchen at that address, was found ying dead on the floor of her room with her thrcat cut. The landlady of the house stated that the unfortunate woman only came to the house last Wednesday night week. She asked her (the landlady) to let her have a room as the landlady at the house where she was lodging had threatened to throw her and her furniture into the street if she did not go away. The deceased had a baby about 13 months old with her. She (the landlady) believed that she was married, and that she had seen her husband for the last time last Sunday week. The landlady had not seen the bus. band. The deceased woman was suffering from melancholia, and could scarcely be " got to speak. She was also under the hallucination that she had no home, and that her furniture bad been turned into the street. It was with the greatest difficulty that she could be persuaded to go home last Thursday week, but eventually she did so, about eleven o'clock. Last Friday week the landlady was attracted by the screams of the baby, but on knocking at the door of the deceased's room the could get no answer. The police were Bent for, and the door broken open. The unfortunate woman was then found lying in a pool of blood on the floor, with a fearful gash in her throat, and a razor was discovered underneath her. The child, however, was unhdrt. The body was removed to the mortuary.—Dr. Danford Thomas I held an enquiry last Saturday week at the Crowndale Hall, St. Pancras, when , Caroline Greenfield, living in the lientish Town' road, stated that the deceased had no relatives. She had lodged with witness for four years, but removed to Stuckley-place on Tuesday week. Deceased hail been an artists' model.—Mr E. W. Marshall, a clerk, stated that he bad assisted the deceased when she was in want of money. He was not at all surprised to hear that she had taken her life, as she suffered from melancholia. The witness informed the Coroner that be would undertake the care of the child, as well as the funeral expenses of the deceased.—The jury returned a verdict of suicide whilst of unsound mind.  Canon Garbett, formerly one of the most celebrated preachers of the Church of England, died near Lewes on Monday night. WHAT is THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON Us—Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares, Many persons have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is peer. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach ; sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach, which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. , After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after . a few months it is attended with a greenish-coloured ; expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. I After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, and I gloomy, and has evil fori,bodings. There is a giddi- • nem, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become Costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes be- ' come tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and high-coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with is sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision beeomes impaired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration end weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of Its varied forms. It has been foufid that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. The Morison is HTsPopeia or indigestion, for which Seiners Ourative flytrap is 5, cartiam remedy. Genuine has A. 4. Whis.
