These reunions, therefore, varied rart-itlerably in brilliancy and attractiveness. George Eliot was by no means sparkling in conversat•on; indeed, her social attri• butes were rather of the hearior,almost Johnsonian, order, and her remarks were often sententious, though apparently not designedly so, for there IVILS obviously no intentional arrogation of supe• riority, though perhaps an almost imperceptible evidence of self-consciousness.

LADY SHOT BY HE LOVER.  SUICIDE DIP TUE MURDERER. fin Tuesday the town of Newbury was thrown into • state of eseitement by a report, which proved too true, that a tragedy had been enactei in the ws,rem suburbs of the town, the victim being a young lady named Stevens, engaged in the drapery establishment a Mr. A. Jackson. Mayor of Newiinry, and young fel:oar named Ellis Welkin Wynn. who, until resmtly, hal been an assistant to Mr. Garlick, silversmith and watchmaker, of Northbrook-street. Newbury. Wynn, who was a tag shin-built man, alma 24 years of see, was well-known, and was a leading tin-tile of the Guildhall Young Men's Club. He hi. Mr. Garliik's service a short time ass end went to lowa. He returned to Newbury the latter end ei Irvt week, and was walking out 'on Sandav with Miss Stevens, to whom he was I ee.sesed. -He was also lii company with a number , ef his male aclioi:eanc.,s, and appeared in his usual. spirits. Oa Monday be went by rail to Beeli.g. but returned in the afternoon and went for a 4iive. Ile had eeveral weeks since told his Newlinty friends that he had had some money left to him. and that he had intended to take a holiday at Nrph.q. Between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening he culled at the Queen's Hotel, and invited several of his acquaintances to partake of a parting glues with him, as he was going to town by the last train, which leaves Newbury at 9.50, and that lie would start for Italy the next day. His frit aids wished him its toynyr. Having shaken liands with them all. he quitted the hotel shortly lasore 9 o'clock, and proceeded to the head postothee. within a few doors of the Queen's Hotel. He de-patched a telegram as to his return to town. Subsequently he nut Miss Stevens and strolled with hr along the Enbsime-road, past the Grammar School, towards Width' Farm, where Uwe is now every reason to suppose a streggle must have taken place, and where the dead bodies of loth Wynn and Cl.' youno lady were discovered at about ICI o'clock lying in the road.vay. eacdt evidently having been ;het by a revolver. It appears that Police-sergeant Holding. of tin; Derks Constabulary, was walking along the road, which is but little frequented at night, when he etoppea to re-light his lamp. In doing so he saw something lying in the road, and euppesol that an accident had occurred, but on forther examination lie found that a dreadful tragedy had been enacted. Medical men were sent for and soon arrived. It was found that life was ex,inct, and that there were two shot wounds on the side of Miss Stevena's head, Wynn himself having been shot in the mouth, his teeth having lu.en blown out. Miss Stevens was a Ant grcwn yo W0111:111 of attractive appearance, and was a great fatourite with her fellow employjs. Up to Ii last Wynn and Miss Stevens appeared to be on the molt Acclimate terms, and their shocking end seems quite unaccountable.

WOULD•BE SUICIDE AT ASTON. At the Aston Police Court on Wednesday— before Messrs. J. A. Cooper and E. H. Stringer— a respectably-dressed young woman named Ellen Habgood, a dressmaker living at 30, Clifton-road, Aston, was charged with threatening to commit suicide on the 29th ult.—Police-constable Painting stated that on the day in question he saw the prisoner in Park. road, and heard her ask a young ?oars the wt.y to die canal. The constable : followed the woman to the pool at the back of Aston Church. He asked her what she was going to do, and she replied that she was tired of life, !ann intended to drown herself, AR she wanted to go to her mother and sister who were in Heaven. She added that if the constable had come a little ' later he would have found her dead hotly in the pool. Police-constable Painting then took her to the station, where she repeated the statement she had made to him, and said also that she had previously attempted to take her life by taking laudanum.—The woman now told the magistrates that she had come through a lot of trouble lately through the illness of her husband and scarcity of work. She might have told the officer that she was tired of life, but she was in a temper at the time. She was very sorry for what she had done. —Her father stated to the Bench that his daughter had been separated from her husband, who was nearly dying, and that had no doubt cau.ed her to fall into intemperate habits. He believed that it was as mach the influence of drink as anything which caused her to attempt her life. He lived at prevent away from his daughter, but if the Bench could see their way to discharge her he should make arrangements to live with her, and do all in his power to keep her straight.—After a short consultation the magictrate@ decided to remand prisoner to Monday to allow of further enquiries to be made.

DOUBLE SUICIDE THROUGH POVERTY. What appears to hare been a ease of double suicide is stated to have occurred at Upper Tooting. A few months ago a Frenchman. said to be Edouard Maniere, took a house near the Cricket tiround. A few days ago the landlord, unable to obtain his due, distrained for the rent. The "man possession" soon became aware that there WAS very little furniture in the house, and on Wednesday evening left the premises and slept out. Returning some time during Thursday morning he was unable to obtain admittance, and accordingly summoned the landlord, who was at work close by. The latter at once procured a laddnr and ob•ained an entrance through a window. He proceeded to the bedroom, forced the door, and was startled to find both the man and his daughter lying fully drained upon the bed. Examination soon shewed that the daughter was beyond human aid, and the father quite unconscious. The air was heavy with the suffocating fumes of a charcoal fins, and this afforded ready explanation of the condition of the prostrate pair. The landlord at once went for the police, who, on being informed of what had taken place, fetched Dr. Woodward, the divisional surgeon, who applied reiterative* and succeeded in bringing the man into a state of consciousness. He WAS then placed on a stretcher ready fur removal to the Wandsworth Infirmary, but he had a relapse and died within a quarter of an hour. The father and daughter are supposed to have been driven in attempt suicide by elleir poverty.  A Mr. Edwards, a wealthy Englishman, who owes some sulphur mines in Sicily, hu, with his engineer, been attacked by six brigands at Caltsniretie.

Those farmers wha are desirous of keeping a large number, and have a difficulty in providing food of a sufficiently cheap character to maintain them in a store condition while growing, might with advantage adopt the plan of "soiling " them,that is, supplying them in a yard with gr,eu food, such as garden stud, or clover, tares, lucerne, and other food of a similar kind. They would then require little food of an expensive character until they had grown to the size needed for fattening, which would, of course, depend upon the object for which they were required, whether small or large porkers; but if required as bacon pigs, the course of feeding would he more prclonged, and would commence when they were about half grown. In this way a large number of pigs could be kept. SeAteral breeding sows and all the young pigs could be fed oft at one ago or another, and a large quantity- of manure made. It is, however, necessary that the yards should be kept clean, or the emit food would be wasted amongst the Inatome.  a "'MIMIMt, • atft.... y..arsa. committed suicide ou Saturday eveniag at Tauntoi.
