Attempted Murder . —Tunbridge-Weus , Friday Night—Considerable excitement prevails in Ihe neighbourhood at the present time , in consequence of a man named Samuel Tompkins having cut the throat of his wife with a razor , and so seriously injured her that it is doubtful whether she will ever recover . It appears that a few days back , as the superintendent of police was passing by the house occupied by the unfortunate woman , the husband came up to him and said that his wife had cut her
throat . The officer entered the building and found the woman lying on the floor in a pool of blood and three wounds in her throat . The man said , 'So help me God , I did not do it . ' A surgeon having been called in , examined the wounds , and at once pronounced them to have been inflicted , not by the woman but by another person . Upon being questioned , the woman as well as she could articulate , said that her husband bad cut her throat with the iaz ' = > r which was lying at her side , and which was covered with blood . The man was therefore taken
into custody , and having been taken before the magistrates , he was remanded for a month , to see whether ' or not his wife will recover . Behind the Age . —An old man , unused to railway travelling , lately took his seat in a third class from Forfar to Coupar Angus , which place was passed perfectly unknown to him , and also all the intermediate stations , until he arrived at Luncarty , where the tickets were finally returned . The guard observed his ticket was only for Coupar Angus , and demanded the additional payment . The passenger answered , ' I payed my ticketa' the way to Coupar , and I am sure 1 am not half roads yet . ' On being convinced that he was a dozen miles beyond ds original destination , the poor roan walked away iu the direction pointed out as nearest to Coupar ,
muttering to himself , ' Diel tak it , they flee wi' a body as far awa' past their journey ' s end as they had to gang athegither when they cam frae bame .

Suicide in a Shooting Gallery . —On Saturday last an inquest was held oii the body of a man unknown , who shot himself on Friday evening in the shooting gallery of Mr Clark , Williamson-square . He had entered the gallery , it appeared , in the course of the evening , and appeared to be in liquor . He competed with three gentlemen who came in , and fired several shots at the target with both pistol and rifle . When they went out he said to the man m attendance that he was not the worst shot in the lot s and , taking hold of a loaded pistol , fired it at the target . He then fired the rifle at it , and whilst the assistant was engaged in reloading it he took up the pistol , which had been again charged , suddenly ra sed its muzzle to his head , fired , and fell . He was conveyed to the iufirraary , where he died shortly after 12 o ' clock the same night . The witnesses in
the case were all strongly of opiuion that the pistol could not have gone off by accident , but must have been firtd by design . His demeanour was not in the least insane . The ' deceased fired 15 shots in the shooting gallery , for only one of which he paid , and wVieu searched he was found to have only one half-penny in his pocket . Mr C . B . Wilson , the house-surgeon to . the infirmary , proved that the bullet had entered by ihe palate , ' gone upwards , and right through the brain . The inquest was adjourned that the body might be identified , and some proof of deceased ' s state of mind adduced . From inqxiiry at the infirmary we learn that the body of the deceased has not yet been claimed . He is proved to have pawned some articles in the name of William ihomas ; but-several pawn tickets were fouud upon him , all bearing different names . —Liverpool Albion ,

Durirg the temporary absence of one
of the attendants , Mary Bennett , a nurse , want into ihe exercising yard , where she paw the deceased lying on her back on the grass ; tha chair on which she usually sat was standing up , and Bullman was leasing over her . On getting nearer she found that an apron , worn bp tbe woman , was twisted round the child ' s neok . She wa » quite still asd appeared dead . The moment Bulimnn saw the nurse , she took the apron off tho deceased , and wrapped it round her arm . The nurse commanded Bullman to go to her room , when she replied , ' No , I will stay and see if the diea . I will stay and see the list of her . ' When re quested the second time to jzo , she replied , ' Oh , nonsense , do not talk so silly ? if you do I will serve you the same , ' at the same time showing the apron-string , and added , ' these are what I did it with .
