SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.  A WOMAN'S LEAI' FROM A CHURCH  TOWER. A remarkable tragedy took place on Friday afternoon at Stanford-le-Hop., Emiex. About half-past four o'clock, as a funeral party was leaving the parish church, a woman was seen to fall from the top of the church tower, a distance of over Stift. She proved to be Miss Frances Bewerm, aged forty, the daughter of a well-known butcher at Stanford. The Central News says: It is believed that the unfortunate lady, who is known to have been despondent and ill for some time, climbed the tower during service, and then committed suicide by throwing herself down.  An inquest WWI held on the body of the unfortunate woman. Patrick G. Bewers, brother of the deceased, said she had been low-spirited of late.— The Stanford postmaster stated that as he was sitting in his office he saw the body of Miss Bowers fall from the church tower to the ground.—The jury returned .a verdict of suicide whilst of unsound mind.  The mentoriitT fTlie-Ta-te—Lord Tennyson, which it is proposed to erect on Blackdown, does not seem to receive the favour originally expected. The suggestion was to erect a summer-house on the hill near the poet's residence, but many friends and neighbours of Lord Tennyson have questioned the wisdom and suitability of the erection. It is understood also that the present Lord Tennyson is not in sympathy with the memorial.

GREAT FIRE IN PERTHSHIRE.  A disastrous fire has taken plaoe at Glue'mond College, about eight miles from Perth. The college is a most extensive pile of buildings, and we. erected in 1841, from plane by Sir tiilbert Scott, at a cost of £50,000. The buildings form a quadrangle, on the mat side of which is &chapel, and on the north side the school-rooms. bedrooms, and offices. The west side is occupied by the warden and aub.warden, and some of the students, and on the east side is the large dining-hull. The fire was discovered by a nursery. maid in the roof of the nursery above the warden's house. Au alarm was at once raised, and all the occn. pants were got out. There being a brick easterly wind the flames spread with great rapidity, and soon flail obtained a firm hold of the warden's house. It thence spread to the apartment* occupied by the stadents. These promptly set to work to prevent, if possible, the flames from spreading further, and also to remove the books from the library and ancb fundtime as was in danger. The Perth fire-engine was &tit for, but did not arrive till the soutlt-weetern wing was a hopeless ruin. the dames lighting the nuieli. bourbood for miles. Time damage already doue is be. lieeed to exceed £20,000. The origin of the fire is said to be the dropping cf a hand brazier, which was being used by a plumber for the repair of the roof.
