On Friday evening an encini.j wee held here into
Idea ero4mstaocel attending the death of • young girl
named Mary Lovell, which took place under mysteri.
one circumstance, on Thursday evening. Deceased
was only about 15 years of age. She was taken ill in
the afternoon, and Mr. Blade was seed in, and pro-
nounced low to be suffering from an attack of epilepsy.
She remained unoontoious, and ultimately the doctor
left, at the same time giving the necessary instructions
for her treatme9t. Within • very abort time, how-
ever, she expired, having never regained conscious-
nose. The curious part of the case is that • report
was cure it that the deceased was pregnant, but the
doctor contradicted this. A pod oddent examination
however, was made, and it was then discovered the
deceased was really renege, and, in fact, within a few
weeks of her c iufinement. It w suggested that
deceased had taken something of • is.leinous nature,
but Mr. Slade gave it as his opinion that he hal not
done so, and neither had she been tampered with.
Hs conaidered death was the result of an epileptic fit.
After a long spunk/ tie jury returned is verdict in
ac.ur.lance with the doctor'a eviden ro. Thu case has
occasioned conaiderable interest in the village.

lIELAXD.

Everyone must regret that the state of Ireland is so
far from inch as could be desire,l. I was in hope.
matters were mending; but all the reports bring us
face to faos with the melancholy fact that crimes &re
increasing rather than diminishing, and that we are
going from bad te worse. Legislation nod conciliation
have been tried, and still anarchy and bloodshed con-
tinue. There is no longer • particle of excuse for
pretending that conciliation would now tranquilize
Irel ,nd, or bring the Parnellite faction into law-abiding
citizens. If the Government were to consent to-morrow
tithe ',lease of the "suspects," can anyone believe on
the caseation of outrages In Ira= I, the acceptance of
the Land Act, and the payment of lawful debts' We
all know bow Mr. Dillon and Mr. Sheehy behaved
when they were liberated, and what the effect was in
Ireland. Appeals have been made to the Government
to release Kr. Parnell and hie asnciates. I cannot
oonoeive how it is possible to comply; they beg, thrown
off the mask, and distinctly state their object I• to
sever the Union. Can any local subject in Ireland or
England allow that to one., within the range of possi-
bility? (No.) Therefore we are face to face with this
difficulty—Union or Disuni n? Every concession has
. . . .

been oxide that can be made, we hase.Wied the magic
of patience long enough, and now U coercion is
necessary to bring about law and order, I beg in
Heaven's name let us base Coercion, for the sooner law
and order are restored the better for al parties. (Hear,
hear.) We must not forget that which bee been to
often expreved. that "To be lenient towards crime is
Injustice towards humanity." We have recently devoted
the entire session of Parliament legislating for Ireland,
In the interests and forth. welfare of the Irish people,
and we hare now got to see the result of our labours. I
think &mime on Use pert of lb* Government to
carry out the law is all that is wanted; but if they
were at the present time to liberate these firebrands,
we should be in a worse state than ever. I most
heartily wish all the Home Rul rs were 'trembled in
the Castle of Kilmainham, or any other place away
from St. Stephen's, to leave Parliament free to carry
on the urgent legislation that is nexsuary f..r the
other part of the United Kingdon, and to ameod the
rules of the House of Comm .na, o that when they
return to that august assembly they may not be able
t• Ploy the game of obstruction they played so
dexterously this last amino% and made us appear
somewhat ridiculous in the eyes of the world. It is
Indeed sad to oontemplate that at the present time
there are more British troops in Ireland to quell
disturbance than the Duke of Wellington had in the
Peninsular War. I wish we had a Duke of Welling-
ton or some one in Ireland that could bring about
peace and happiness in that unhappy country, for the
present state is ruin; forestry day the present law.
lemmas is allowed to continue augments the misery.

IIIUIZZOANZ.

AIM NATIOnaI. fictiocita.—A year pro the boys
and girls attending them eohoola wore told of. new
scheme which had bsen adopted by the ocenmittee.
Under this =hems, each child over seven years old
who made 350 attendances in the year was to resolve
• money prise alone shilling, tor 375 &Steadiness two
shillings, and for 400 and upwards three shillings. At
the close of school work on Friday laat, the Revs. H.
Boss and B. A. Watson and Mr. H. Newlyn whited
the sehool for the purpose of distributing the prises
earned by the children in 188 L Parents, of whom •
few were preempt, were assured that as • wetter of
economy they could do no better thing for their children
than keep them regular and punctual at school whilst
they were under ten years of age; since by so doing
they could make it almost a certainty that at ten years
• of sire their children would have passed the 4th standard
—the standard for total exemption in this Union—and
if need be, they might at cane be removed from
school, and be set to make a beginning of earning their
own bread. It was with this hops, therefore, the
scheme now at work at the meter-
Lally assist in increasing the average attendance of both
schools that the committee intended to persevere in
the course they had adopted; arid it was especially
gratifying to notice that is the case of Wes boys,
namely, William Aedrewa, Walter Churchill, and
Albert Lamb, they had never once been absent from
school during the whole year. The prises were then
distributed, • very pretty certificate being given along
with the three shillings to each child who bad attended
400 or more times in the year. In addition to the
three buys moral med.there were seven other scholars
who Wade more than 400 attendances, who likewise
received three shillinfs each and • eartificiate, namely,
W. Florence, U. Willis, A. Cox, S. Kam, Annie
Priddie, Faith Bow, and K. Bishop, Thirty-sight
chilthen who attended over 375 times received two
shillings each, and forty-five children who attended
school over 350 times received ono dillies; each. As
one of the parents whose child received two shillings
wisely remarked, " it wrs much pleasanter to receive
• prize for s Hiding children regularly, than to be sum.
monad and Sued Cur their non-attendance."

British Beekeepers' Aesociation, which compelled

finding that the South-Western Railway Company
cannot maintain the dividend of 71 per cent which
they d.Jarel this time last year. The dividend
now will be 71., althonsh the increased takings of the
half year are some L 25,000 in exam of the correspond.
log per) 4. We have continually cautioned
holders that the Increased =OW requires all increase
of a,OOO • week to maintain dividends, and the
correctness of this is exactly verified by the last half
year's experience, the dividend was not published in
the papers until Friday, but it was discounted several
days before, when shares fell from 1.38 to 136. How's

Wsymouthian's letter, published in your

pity ha hats so long dvlayed his cootemplation of join-

better acquainted with the matter he pretends to deal
with, tie hen a, very happy way of evading (I will
not may purposely) the facts contained in my fanner
Uttar as to the c ,mpetationa, which are in every
r favourable to the experettosi marksman, and
which see not in ist,y manner affected by the addition
of drills, and I must admit that, in such evasion, he
acts with cli•cretion, as the only way in which he *mid
honestly deal with such facts would be by confessing
to their truth.

--TuTost--•—"Mpliatkally assert that tbe statements
contained in my previous lettar am substantially

The whole matter resolves itself into a very smell
