♦ Annio Taylor, a domestic, aged 23, died under peculiar circumstances at Newcastle^ New South Wales, n few days ago. A diseased cat, uttering fearful cries of distress, entered the room where the deceased was sitting after eating a hasty dinner. The girl was much frightened, ran upstairs, becamo unconscious, and died in less than three hours, death resulting from paralysis of the brain. Ellen Thompson and her paramour, John Harrison, were executed at Brisbane gaol on tho 13th inst. for the murder of tho former's husband. In both cases death was instantaneous, but tho jugular reins of each were severed in the fall, and their clothes wero saturated with blood, whieh flowed on to the floor in a sickening stream. The woman doclared her innocence, but Harrison admitted that both he find tho woman were concerned in the death of Thompson, but that they only acted in self-defence. At the recent special meeting of the Australian Mutual Provident Society at Sydney it was agreed that the number of directora should be soven instead of eix, and that their remuneration should be £1,400 instead of £1,200. An amendment that the number of directors required to subscribo to a policy of insurance be reduced from three to two was also agreed to. An amendment that tho risk on any one life be limited to £5,000 instead of £10,000 was carried by a majority of ono, and a ballot was called for. Tho Austrian War Office has decided to build five or six immense barracks in Galicia for the additional cavalry now stationed there. These, according to the Vienna correspondent of the Standard, are to bo permanent structures. Hitherto the structures hare been distributed OTor a number of frontier villages, to tho discomfort at once of the peasantry and the troops. Experiments with land torpedoes will also be set on foot, as it is believed that this means of defence will be of great service in Eastern Galicia, which is flat and without natural protection.
