Mrs. hlullineaux set about gettin Tea, which being ready, and her husband still out, she saw the stable door, which had been ripen all day- closed, and goin up to it. found it was fasten edfroin the incl c; this door she forced open from the stable. a door led to the barn, whi was also barricaded from the inside; forci g this, and looking about, she discovered her Ii_ band's feet on the loft ﬂoor,snd going u stai , behold the lifeless body, suspended rom a rafter, by the reins which he lied taken fro the house. From the manner in which the body was discovered, death must have been caused by voluntary strangulation ; as, from the noose to the lloor the space being not over four

SE(,‘uI\‘D DAY.

Wiiuxssn.\v.—'l.‘he Sailin Boats had a dc- cided advauta e to-day—t ere being a brisk sailing breeze rom the eastward. The weather was still ﬁne, end the nuiuber of spectators even exceeding that of the first day.—-At 12 o'clock the amusements began.

We think that,had not the ‘Alert’ and ‘Mickey Free’ coins in collision in the outset, the former of these would have succeeded in taking a Prise. The 5 beats, manned by British tars, develo ed more muscle than is generally seen on our 9- gutta course.

S'cond Race—lst Class Sail Boats, for Ladies‘ Purse.-The ‘ Hotspur’, Charles Camp-
