William Benjamin Rowland, a carmani rocently died at a London hospital, and when the doctors made a post mortem they found a steel knife biado run into his skull for an inch and broke oft there It had been there so long that the bone had fiealud over the spot where it had entered, The blade bad passed between the conrulations of the brain, which was uninjured.

Early on j Sunday morning, a daring attempt was uwdo at " Hopes Dnrlinghurat road, the residence of,Mr Coli6iy»hi> tor I some time represented Liverpool in the Legislative Assembly, .Mr Cohen wae first startled by hearing a grating noise' at the window of the balcony,, and on going to ascertain the - cause, he was astonished to see a man working away at the window, evidently with the intention

of entering tho Jiouso, Tlia would-be burglar was promptly challenged, and he hastily.decamped. After getting over the balcony, iutu the garden, andlbence into the stioet, he vindictively fired a shot from a rovolver at the balcony. The bullet crashed through a window and penetrated the corridor, A peculiarly painful case of diphtheria attacking an entire family has couie under notice. It was the family of a Mrs Williams, of Albert Park, and constated of two boys and two girls, ranging from two to eight years of aj>e.

The adults are expected to recover, Tho eccentricities of tho goat, indeed, caniiot bo too strongly reprobated. A Victorian goat, of tho male species, with a revolutionary disregard of the snored riehts of property, misbehaved itself recoiitjy in Sydney. We are told that it actually went out qn strike, sprang from a cart in which lio was. being taken to market, and rushed headlong into a public house, His crude views on the tompensation question do not teem to have been favorably received, however; for wo next find the annual inextricably mixed up with the legs'of a group of sailors, and immediately afterwards wreaking his dissatisfaction on a peranibulator—containing twins, of course —which tlje goat thoughtfully capsized. Tho.polioe force came on the scene by this time, but their reception cannot be regarded aB oncouraging. The goat took one in the abdomen with his horns, as .the chunk of old read sandstone took Abnnr Dean, of Angle's; and careering'wildly forth, was next aei.aeji with a thirst for first-hand, information regarding the fall in Tramway Co. shares i'i) Sydney, In frame ot mind he boarded a car in motion! aud when a meddlesome person with a
