The Murderer of Sixteen Women. — The preliminary examination of Philipe, the murderer of the woman, iv the Sue de la Ville I'Eveque, Paris, is now approaching its termination. Crime appears to have been a monomania with him, and the inquiry has brought to light no less than sixteen murders committed by him on women; of these, fiye were in Algeria, three in Italy, and eight in Franco, and all by cutting their throats with a razor. He displays a remarkable cynicism, and on first entering the office of the examining judge, expressed his astonishment that h(Tshould not be permitted to smoke there. Death of a Horse from Hydrophobia. — Ahorse belonging to a gentleman at Moortown, near Riugwood, was bitten by a dog about three months ago, The dog was killed at the time by a kick from the horse, and no farther notice was taken of it. On Friday, however, the animal was seized with symptoms of madness, continuallyjbitiug and tearing the leg thai: had been bitten by the dog. The animal became so violent in a few hours that it had to be pegged down in a field,' where it shortly afterwards died. — Standard, Mar. 6. The Vicar of Gainsborough has refused to read the burial service over a man, not because lie was unbaptized or excommunicate, or a suicide, but because he had led an immoral life. This he regarded as a wholesome act of church discipline. But it was a clear violation of "the law;" and the fact should be noted, that in the Establishment the clergy must in many cases act illegally in order to act conscientiously.
