LADY AT  SIN KEY. Early on Thursday afternoon, a school boy, on his way home to dinner, was passing an enclosed pond situated in a field close to Great Sankey Vicarage, and not very far from the highway, when he saw a body Boating on the water. Ttie body was as soon as possible recovered from the pond, and was found to be that of a lady, fashionably dressed, and appearances indicated that it must have been in the water forthe period of about a fortnight. There was nothing to lead to identification, hut this dress of the deceased corresponds pretty nearly with the destription of the dress of a lady named Mary Diaper, who was recently advertised as " The advertisement, which offered a reward for information, stated that there had been " Missing. from her home at 10, Kettmare-road, Liverpool, since ten o'clock Monday, the 28th ultimo, a lady about 45 years of age, dark grey dress trimmed with red stripes, navy blue jacket trimmed with astrachan, black lace bonnet (red flowers), black fur muff; wearing at the time silver watch and jet chain, and had in her possession a purse containing gold and silver; clothes marked M. D.; height about five feet, ruddy comp!exion ; 61ark hair, turning grey." In several particulars the clothing on the s body of the deceased corresponds with the particulars given in the intimation quoted. A silver watch and jet chain, as described, were also found, the watch having stopped at 4.40. In the clothing there was also found a purse, containing a sovereign in gold and nearly the same aMoUnt in silver, which also corresponds with the advertised description. The mark "M.

To reach the pond from the highway, a gate would have to be opened, and as it Is considered that it would be scarcely possible for a person to accidentally walk into the pond, the su • sition is that the deceased lady had committedPP'sUicide It hi said that. the behaviour of the lady the deceased is supposed to be, had, been very extraordinary of later  Yesterday, the brother of the deceased identified her as the person named above.  Sir Arthur Sullivan continues to make good progregs, and it is hoped that in a few days be will jbe sufficiently well to travel.  " A. B. H." writes from Bedford :—" As you have noticed various dates on which the cuckoo has been heard, sth April being the earliest, it way interest your readers to know that a cuckoo was heard here on 2nd April. Martha Roberts, of Liverpool, six or seven weeks ago ent her hand, and to stop the bleeding she adopted the housewife's plan of using a cobweb. Blood poisoning stet in—presumably because there was dirt on the cobw Ai--and the woman died. It is a saddening commentary on the limits of human invention that Mr. Edison, who has done an much to make inaudible sounds audible, is affltcted with an incurable deafness. " When I was a b.iv," Ir. save, •` I sold peanuts and newspapers on the railway trains. One day a baggage porter lifted me from the ground by my ears—the 'membranes snapped, and that is how I became deaf."
