SQUARF., MINCH:ESTER.  Some workmen who are engaged in excavating for a new undrground railway in Glasgow, made a gruesome discovery the other day. Upon raising & hearthstone in a cellar at the corner of Londoe. street and James Motrison-street, the men, to their great surprise, came upon the bones of a full. grown person. The remains, which must have lain under the stone for many years, were handed to the police, who are making inquiries into the matter. At the Liverpool City Pollee Court the other day Ellen Murphy, aged 32, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by drowning. in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, on the previous evening. A boy named Frank Clinker, aged 13, saw the woman jump in, and followed her into the water. She struggled with him, and tried to get him unclel water, but another boy, named David Head, aged 14, also jumped in to Clinker's assistance, and the two succeeded in getting the woman out. Mr... Stewart, the Stipendiary, remanded the woman fez seven days, and gave the boys 55. each, and also cum. plimented them highly on their conduct. In the numerous schemes for providing our girls" with employment one outlet which might be greatly developed has been overlooked. The Lady Courier is not yet to the front. But she is likely vi be so. I travelled (says Truth) a short time age with one. She informed me that she spends at much time in steamers and railways as a Queen's messenger. As her life is a wearing one, she stip, lilies for handsome fees. They are often given On grudgingly to her, and she is boarded and lodged ai though she were a duchess when travelling with rich and delicate ladies. The Lady Courier is ex pected to be as well posted up as the Man Gentler The one I had the pleasure of talking with is some times employed to escort young ladies from one ene of Europe to the other, and is sufficiently well-born and educated to go with them, if need be, inth society.  Silvertown, in the far East End of London, was the other morning at ten o'clock the scene of a tragedy. Mr. Christian Gray, one of the three brothers who manage the great works of the India rubber, Guttapercha, and Telegraph Works Company, Limited, at Silvertown, where some 2,00 C men are employed, was met in the street close tz the factory by Henry Reed. The man (who ha': only one arm) attacked Mr. Gray. He intercede, in indicting a worinc: on Mr. Gray's throat with the iron hook which be wore, which, fortunately, very serious. Reed then rrin away, and. crossis; the railway, entered a t:-; which is skirted by a ditch. Meeting three -1 whom he knew he shouted, "I am in great trwilile." Without stltsP' ping he jumped into the t.oh, and; with a razor: out his throat to the bone from ear to ear. TN police were soon on the spot, and when the body 9e56 taken out of the diton life was found to be extinct The reason for Reed's murderous assault on Mr "Chris.," as the men call him, seems to hate bei° that that gentleman had given the foreman order! not to take Reed on again, the latter baying sl:" sented himself from work. Reed was addicted te drink, and it is supposed that at the time of the assault he was mad with liquor.
