The great scientist, passed away quietly, the direot cause of death being heart a.nd kidney disease. His ;ooal medical atendant, Mr. Farnell, was present, together with Mrs. Huxley and one of the professor's daughters. His son, Dr. Huxley, arrived just too latE. to be pres,erit during the xirofes.-cr's dying momewhs. Professor Huxley displayed wonderful physical power almost to the day of his death. Up till Friday he read the daily papers regn'.ariy, and only a week ago also did some writing. Thomas Henry Huxley, D.C.L., LL.D., was born a,t Eating in 1825, and was, there- fore, 70 years of age. He was educated at a local school at which his father was one of the 'c masters, but owes most of his success in early life to hard urlvate Sltudy, in which be took up German scientific literature and medicine, receivui'g considerable assistance in the latter t,.ubieet from a borfher-m-law. who was a pliys'icnan. After attending medical lectures at Cha; ing-cross Hospital School, he took the degree of M.B. at the University of London, giiiiniing considerable distinction in physiology. lIe entered the Navy a.s aS8i;;tant-surgeün in 1846, and in 1847 proceeded for a three years' cruise in her Majesty's ship Rattlesnake to the eastern and northern coasts of Ausxralia. Here he found ample matter for studies in natural history. wlniih he communicated in memoirs to the Liuuean and Royai Societies, and in a work entitled "Oceanic Hydrozoa, mibiiiihed in 1859. In 1851, the year after his return, Mr. Huxley was elected a Fellow of \,he Royal Society, and in the following year received one of the two medals annually eiiven by the society. After receiving several apipoiiiitimenite of a scientifio charaoter ht visited the A'p^s in 1356 with the late Pro- fessor Tyndaill, between whom and himte.f there grew uip a- warm friendship. Mr. Huxley took for the subject of a- lecture to Huxley took for the subject of a- lecture to working men a.t the Royal School of Mines in .Termyn-sirc et, "The Relation of Man to the Lower An-mais," amd this caused great controversy at the next and subsequent meet- ings of the British Association. The result of the controversy was published in 1863 as "Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature." Alxrnt the same time Professor Huxley pub- lished a series of lectures on "The Kno\vled-ge of the Cau-.es of the Phenomena of Oigam'c Nature." His writings and lectures created conwderai AC interest during the next year, and he was elected Professor of Comparative Anatomy at the Royal College of Surgeons, and in 1869 became President of the Geological a.nd l<}(huahj!g<!ca-l Societies. In 1870 he pre- sided over the meeting of the Britisiti Associa- tion at Liverpool. The same year he wa«J f'h-crted to the London School Board, and rendered himself conspicuous by his antagonism to denominia.tiiona.1 teaching. Owing to the state (If his health he rebired from the Board in 1872. In t.he following December he was p.lected Lord Rector of Aberdeen University, which office lie held till 1376. Mr. Huxley was appointed Inspector of the Salmon Fisheries, but in 1885 wa.g obliged to retire owing to i'll-hesl.tlh, and at the same time he resigned most cf his other He had since been living quietly at Eastilxiurne. Besides being a. member of the Privy Council, to which he was called in 1892, Professor Huxley heid many high distinctions from "earned societies at home and abroad.

PANIC IN A CHURCH. A rabid dog-, fr( thing at the mouth, and yelping- and snapping at imaginary enemies, ran through New York streets the other after- noon, and spread alarm as he ran. Pronie- na.ders sought safety in areaways and on the high stoops of the houses. The dog cleared everything before him. At Eighty-sixth-street twenty women and children ran in all direc- tions to avoid him. Two ladies and two young girls took fright and ran into a drug store, and the dog followed them. The chemist was pre- paring a prescription at the rear of the store, lie saw the women climb on the marble counter of his soda-water fountain, and hold their dresses high around them, screaming; all the while. The girls hid themselves behind the counter. jMr. Cody drove the dog out with a broom, and helped the womtn down from the counter. The dog- crossed the street to St. Lawrence's Roma.il Catholic Church. Father M'Kenna had dismissed the Sunday School scholars only a, few minutes before, and the stairs leading from the big basement were filled with the little on)". A hundred still remained babbling and laughing, and a dozen women kneeled before the altar, which Brother Yager was set- ting in order for the vesper service. The dog stumbled down the flight of stone steps and crtercd. His eyes shone wildly, and splashes I of saliva dropped from his mouth. He uttered short. sharp cries, and snapped at the Jegs of three boys who stood in the vestibule. They fled, and the brute dashed down the aisle towards the altar. The children ran wildly for the doors or sought refuge in the confessional boxes. They fell over each other, and fought to reach the street first. The kneeling women arose, screaming with fright, and followed Brother Yager into the sacristy a.nd begged him to protect them. The dog ran hither and thither, through the aisles and under the pews. He ran up to the altar, and then down towards the bolder of the boys who had ventured down the stairs ai),d stood at the entrance. John Buckley and James Carlon called in Policemen Flanagan and Smith. They cleared the oil- trance, helped the frightened women a.nd children to the street, and closed the church doors. The dog was n,ot- visible, but his heav breathing could be heard beneath the organ. Flanagart got a stout rope from Brother Yager, and after making a noose in one end tried to call the animal out. He would not come. The policemen could hear him snap his jaws, and once he grabbed the r'.oose. Flanagan jerked the rope and the noose closed about the animal's lower jaw. He was dragged out and held in the air, while Smith made fast another rope to his hind legs. Brotlver Yager now came from the sacristy and laughed hear- tily over the capture. The officers carried the brute. suspended between them to a livery stable and shot him. *>

AN ACCOUNTANTS DIVORCE SUIT. A FRIEND BETRAYS HIS CONFI- DENCE. In tho Divorce and Probate Division of the High Court of Justice on Thursday, the case of Bourner v. Bourner and Jordan came on before Sir F. Jeune and a special jury. It was a petition presented by the husband, pray- ing fur the dissolution of his marriage on the ground of the misconduct of his wife with the co-respondent. Mr. Baylord, Q.C., and Mr. Barnard appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Willock fa" the respondent. Mr. Bourner said be was married to the re- spondent at Nottingham on April 14, 1884. He was an accountant, and after the wedding they resided at Blashford, and at Lancaster, New- cmtic-undcr-Lyme. At firilt the marriage was a happy one, but the respondent fell into deli- cate health, that rendered it necessary she should go for a time to Wales. About twelve mo tths after the first visit the respon- dent went again. On her return. home, and subsequently, Jordon, whom she had met, was invited by him (petitioner) to visit at his house. He came, and, being agreeable, he began to like him, and he ultimately invited him to spend Christmas with them. In the summer of 1893 they were staying at Blackpool. The co- respondent afterwards arrived, and took up his apartments at the same boarding-house, and stayed several days. They went there again, and again Jordcn joined them. On one occa- sion, when co-respondent was at the railway station, he thought the co-respondent kissed the respondent, which she afterwards admitted she did, but that no harm was intended. Subse- quently the matter was looked over, but he wrote to Jordan. After that, on October 11, 1893. the respondent, came to his office in Hanley. and told him that the. co-respondent had broken a blood vessel, and that he wished to be allowed to stay in the house for some time, as he wished to see Dr. Milbank, his (petitioner's) medical attendant. He at virsc objected, but, as the respondent beggecl him not to create a ,-{'111bJ, he consented, and the i-o- respondent accordingly came. He believed that there had been nothing wrong between them. On his arrival homo he found the respondent at the house. There was a slight conversation about what had previously oe- ourred, and eventually the co-respondent saw Dr. Milbank. Tn July. 1894, he (the re- spondent) obid family went to St. Anne's, While there the respondent s.ugge.; ted that Jordan should be invited. He consented, and the co-respondent came and stayed longelt than he was a>ked. He spoke to the respon- dent about the matter, and there arose a violent quarrel between them. On August 27 he (peti- tioner) had to go to Burton, and from thence he went to Nottingham. Subsequently he received certain intelligence from Nottingham, and he wrote to the respondent. He accused hen of being at a hotel at Nottingham with the co-respondent. He, on seeing her, told re- spondent he should take steps for a divorce. The respondent assured him that nothing wrong had been done, although the co-respondent had attempted misconduct with her. On that in- timation he went to his room, and in the morn- ing he got some letters that had been addressed to t;h.e rvspdindcTit, commencing, "My own sweet girl," and other endearing- expressions. The letters were in the handwriting of tho co-respondent, but disguised. He had received certain information from a .young woman who had previously been in his service, and, aoting on that- the present suit had been instituted. Mr. Ba>. hipi: Have you ever agreed that, if your wife did not defend you would give her an allowance? No: I never asked her. Harriet J unes said she had received letters for her mistress from Jordan, and her mistress had replied to them. Her mistress had told her that she liked Jordan better than her hus- bar d. She had known the respondent and co- respondent to be in each other's bedroom alone. She was sleeping with the respondent on one occasion, when the respondent got. up, took a bath, and then went into Jordan's room. The jury found for the petitioner, and also that the ijetitiouor had not been guilty of cruelty. His Lordship granted a degree nisi, with costs, and he .gave to petitioner the custody of the children. The usual order was made for the wife's -costs.

Although the contributions of the Churches had been higher than liereftofo'-e, the college was lefts ufc the present tinie in debt to the amount of £300.

A meeting of the Cardiff Parks Committee was held on Monday morning, under the pre- sidency of Alderman David Jones.—Sir WuHam Thomas Lewis, in a letter to the town-clerk, .stated that he had submitted to the Marquess of Bute the committee's desire to extend tha time during which the* Sophia Gardens Field are open to tho public on Sundays. f:;8 lordship, after carefully considering the matter.. and having recpird to the hot that the adoption of the suggestion of the committee would pre- elude the imrk-keepers from attending any reli- gious service on Stinday, requested Sir William to express his regret that. he was unable to see the necessity of the park being opened during the hours of Divine service on Sundav morning. --It was reported by the head-gardener that,, althoiigh half a dozen men had been employed watering the plants around the lake in the Ivcath Park, more had been killed by the dry, weather than by the frost.—The following ten- ders were received for the extension of tho lr-r ding-stage at Roath Park —Messrs.

Williams, J.P.) was a Welshman, he might interest himself in getting the corporation to make a. present of some of them to Cardiff fot. placing in the Roa.th Park.—The Town-clerk; read correspondence which had taken place be- tween himself and the mayor and town-clerk of. Weymouth, from which it appeared that tliq people of that town were very proud of their Royal swans, and, until recently, wh&n theyi made a present to the Ipswich town council,1 they had g-iven none away. Thoy decided tc I make a. similar concession in the case of Car. diff. and to present the mayor and corporation with six of their splendid swans.—Hearty, thanks were accorded to the mavor and corpora* tion of Weymouth for the gift, and to tho mayor of Cardiff for interesting himself in tlie I matter.
