The gentleman, probably thinking so witty a personage would make an excellent addition to his party, begged hin: to remain: With a profusion of apolo- gies, he first pretend to decline--ultimately accepted, Everybody was delighted with him ; all the evening he kept up a constant fire of wit and repartree, and ultimately sat down to the piano, and sang extempore veores on everyone present. In the midst of these the door opened, and, true to his appointment, 1m walked Terry, at the sight of whom, striking a new key, he sang : "I'm very much pleased with your fare, Your cellar's as fine as your cook ; My triend's Mr, Terry, the player, And I'm Mr. Theodore Hook.' Cne day, after riding some distance in a hackney couch, he discovered he had no money in his pocket to pay the fare. Catch. ing sight of a friend upon the road, he took him up, hoping to borrow from him the sum required, but the friend was as im- pecunious as himself, Hook considered for a moment, then, calling out to the coach- man, desired him to drive to Mr. 's a well known west end surgecn. Arrived there, he sprang out of the coach, knocked loudly, and demended of the servant who answered if Mr. So and So was within. The doctor was decending the stairs at the time.

The latter son returned during the afternoon, and finding the house vacant thought nothing strange of the matter, as his mother was in the habit of going to visit the neighbors at will, H® got bis own supper and on the return of the father and other son from Bowmanville they also bad supper, but did not feel any un- easiness at the mother's absence, They re- tired to bed about nine o'clock leaving the door unfastened in order that Mrs. Mountjoy might enter on her return. But she came not. Iu the morning they saw by her ward. robe that she had not changed her clothing, and a search was commenced. One of the sons went out by the front door, and there, a few feet from the door, he discovered the the lifeless form of his mother in a sitting posiure, with her throat cut and a razor b; her side, She had stooped to a sitting posi tion, and then leaning the head forward so that the blood flowed clear of her person, in- flicted six gashes across the throat, causing speedy death, Mr. James Parr, coroner was sent for, and an inquest held on Saturday night, but no cause could be ascertained for the commital of the fearful deed.
