GARIBALDI BURNED IN ,EFFIGY• •

At Limerick, on Saturday, it being "John's Eve,"
amusements in the way of lighting street bonfires and
parading the town with garlands of flowers were, accord-
lag to custom, indulged in by the lower classes.
mob of over 2,000 persons, adults and juveniles of
both sexes, marched through all the principal thorough-
fares with an effigy, placed upon a long pole, attired in'
shabby military uniform, with outstretched hands, the
name " Garibaldi" being conspicuously displayed in
large letters, front and rear of the figure. This was
followci by an executioner holding a rope, the rear'
being brought up by blazing tar barrels on wooden,
platforms, borne on men's shoulders, the yells anti
shouts of the populace being most ferocious. The mob
conveyed the effigy of Garibaldi on to "Gallows Green,"
a place of public execution, where it was lowered by.a.
rope into a burning tar barrel, and consumed amidst
shouts of acclamation.

Paris correspondent of the Brussels Adependaitar
states that M. Mario has been engaged at the Theatre
Italienne foi the sum of 90,000 f. for the season.
A letter from Cobourg says :—Preparations are being
,Wade for the reception of Prince Alfred of Great.
Britain, who will shortly arrive here and live alternately
at Coburg and at Gotha. The reigning duke not hav-
ing any children, Prince Alfred, his nephew, is his
presumptive heir.
The Journal du Havre says :—" Among the passen-
gers who two days ago arrived at Dieppe from England
were twenty-six Irishmen. who were on their way t 0
Rome to enlist in the Pope's army ; but as their pass-
ports were nut in order, they were sent up to Paris to.
be placed at the disposition of the prefect of police."
Some interest was caused two days back, among
amateurs of curiosities, by the announcement that three
porcelain vases, chefs d'oeuvres of the Sevres manufac-
tory, will be sold by auction at the Hotel Drouct
They were made by order of Louis XVI., and presented
by him to a Prussian minister. One is nearly afoot
and a half high, and the others something less, each
having a mythological subject painted on one side, and
a view from the park of Versailles on the other. Being
put up at 25,000 f., they were eventually adjudged for
83,000 f, to the Marquis of Hertford.—Galignani.
JuvEN/r.v. RIFLE CORPS.—A lot of youngsters have,
on several evenings this weak, caused much amusement
j,. the Butts, by mimicking the evolutions of the Roch-
dale -I.?ifle Corps. They have chosen for their captain a
youth nank'l Howe, who has perhaps seen eight summers,
and who, his tin sword, inspires very young
civilians with sontb degree of awe. The juvenile privates
obey their officer with promptitude and precision, and
are quite unmoved by the iomments of bystanders, who
good-humouredly give way jvhen the young mimic
soldiers march.—Rochdale Piled.
THICKHEADED ELEPHANT.—The bui,. t pene-
trated the skull, but only just reached the bray'. though
weighing four ounces, with a steel tip, and I had lo2de-
, with six drams, or about four ordinary rifle charges, 05
powder. Even this charge, however, I found on a late
occasion, had no effect, if the thinnest parts otthe
are not chosen when taking aim, and a gigantic sines
tusker, at which I bred from a distance of twenty paces,.
after appearing a little dazed or stunned for Is few
seconds, walked on again as is nothing had happened:—
Dunlop's Sporting in the Hinterigya.
FALL OF BLACK RAIN.—The phenomenon of a fall
of discoloured ram occurred in Brassington and neigh-
bourhood, on Monday night last. It was so dark in. its
hue as to appear of a blue-black in quantities of less
than half a gallon, and when massed in a clean tin
receiver, it seemed black as dye in a dyer's vat. Ik.
glass-full was taken and left undisturbed for eight or
rine hours, its colour in the glass was of a dull leaden
tinge, it deposited no sediment, and remained of the
same tint, and as transparent as coloured glass of 3
similar shade.— Winksworth Advertiser.

THE "PAYS" ON SOCIAL PIIDNOMENA.—The Fags
has made some valuable discoveries, in social ,science
It has discovered the panacea for all the evils of soeiety
—every one must eat less! All the mischief arises from►
over feeding. The French, says the writer in question,
eat four times as much as they ought; and he begs to'
assure the world that there is not an indefinite quactiti
of grain, meat, vegetables, and fruit. "It is wonder
fully absurd to suppose such a thing. -There it S
moderate portion for each, and no more. SinipkOnsr
and political Economists alone have acquired the rjiti*
to preach the contrary."
THE POLICEMAN ON "BEAT."--Every shop door and.
cellar-window along miles of street is under his cam:
He must look to every child on the pavement,• anal
every passenger at each crossing. Every high-courage&
and, every stumbling skinny horse must be watched by-
him. He must have his eye on every beggar, and muse
painfully discern suspicious from respectable persons,

and make no mistakes. Ho has been recommended to

acquaint himself with the faces of all the householdets.
throughout his beat ; a most tremendous task in itself_
He is under a perfect pelt of questions for the. four.
hours, as if there were a conspiracy to sale him things
that he did not know. Half a dozen times he is angrily
told that he has shown himself just too late on that
particular spot, and that his superiors should be told:
that their men were never to be found when wanted.----
Miss Martineau 1n Once a Week.

A SALMON WITT( AN INCONVENIENT APEENTPAGE.--
A few days ago, a salmon was caught at the Raik
fishing at the mouth of the Dee, immediately eastward
of the battery, with a hook fixed. in its shoulder, and.
attached thereto between twenty. and thirty feet of line.:
The fish weighed between 111 b. and 121 b., and was in)
capital condition. The hook stuck into its lbody.iszensa
of the largest flies used for rod, fishing.; and.though the'
men at the station broke off several feet in tryingittl-1
strength, twenty-two feet yet remain attache& to
hook, which had evident), been in the ealmonts'sbouldeilit
for a considerable time. And yet with. the hook
the long "lingel" attached, the creatureeonld afford,'
if not " to laugh," to enjoy life, " and grow -fat.."--4

SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN FRA.NCL—A terrible traged9
occurred the other day near St. Germain. A young
painter was married about a month since to the daughter
of a rich proprietor, and was spending the honeymoon in
his own birthplace ; he had, however, lived with a young
woman in Paris, and they had a child two years of age•
Gustave had left the capital on a false pretext, but the
poor girl, thus abandoned, soon learnt the truth, and
took the fatal step of making her appearance in presence
of the newly-married couple. She arrived, was admitted,
and found the young couple at dinner with the bride's
father; the moment the child, whom she carried with her,
saw Gustave, it cried with delight at seeing papa. There
was no need of more being- said ; the poor young "fife,
stung to the soul, declared that Gustave belonged to the
mother of his child, and
.that she herself was but an
obstacle to his happiness; so saying she, who a feel
minutes before was radiant with new happiness, .roee
from her seat, and springing through an open wiudete
was taken up dead. .

IMPAIENEET
,OF SPEECH SYMPTOMATIC OF DIMEA-0
OF THE Blum.-- "Associated with the slight loss of
power over the. muscles °Utile tongue and mouth pre-
viously referred to, there is in the \ early stage of brill"'
disease an inability on the part of the patient to gives •
with his usual clearness, perspecuity, and facility, es-
pression to the ideas. He speaks in a slow and measured
intonation, as if he were cautiously and critically selecting'
his phrases, and carefully considering what be is saying--
He drawls out his words. The voice is often tilichind
husky, giving rise to the impression that the.patient.is
suffering from the effects of a cold, or has come ex-
traneous body in the mouth interfering with his freed9!W
of speech. He talks with what, may be. termed.-P,'
muffled (veilee), veiled, or clouded voice, like I.'nlan
slightly under the influence of stimulants, strong emo-
tional excitement, or as if he were partiallrintoxicatO•
Slowness of speech, feebleness of voice, mistakes in ac-
centuation, hesitation in pronunciation, and disorder in
the succession of words, are phenomena of great
dip-
gnostic .value. They point out, says Dr. Guislain, very
grave cases of cerebral _disturbance."—Dr. Wrnslcuy eta

RIFLE SHOOTING.—Two very interesting matches
came off at Chatham Qarrison.; the first on Wednesday
June 20, 1860, between six sergeants of the Royal En-
gineers, armed with the
Lancaster rifle, - and six
.ser-
geants:of, the 3rd Depot Battalion,. armed with the
regulation sergeant's rifle, each sergeant firing five
rounds at each of the following distancesviz., .400,
600, 550, and 600 yards (2nd class). The sergeantq of
the 3rd Dep6tßattalion proved themselves the best shots,
having made as average of 14-83, the sergeants of the
Royal Engineers making 13-83. The second metah
came off on Saturday, Juno 23, between two sergeants
of the Royal Engineers and two, sergeants of the 3rd
Depot Battalion, each sergeant firing five rounds at each
of the following distanees—viz., 160, 200, 250, .ana
300 yards (3rd class); the sergeants of the 3rd Depot_'
Battalion were again the winners, makingthe
cedented average of 27'00, the sergeants of the 1t9714'
Engineers making 20.60.

• DARING ASRATILT BY A PRIEST.—The Rev. Or earigter;
Shea,incumbent of Sellerne, —"
Connemara,. was
ing a sick member of his flock, when a well-known
priest of the district entered the house, taking.wiPh'hi:l3l
a mob of people. Mr. Shea told the priest that his
services were not required, and desired bins to ask the
sick man whether he wished ,to see him. Without
making any inquiry, the priest seized on Mr. Shea, sudr
calling two men to his aid, violently expelled bins fro: "
the house, and then,. as I ant informed, struck hiuoll°.
slig _De
than once in the presence of the mob. As
expected, Mr. Shea was immediately attac' bYhtt.tl4:
people, and a atone was thrown which struck 101 with
great force behind the ear. Mr. Shea,fell.to thegreunu
in a state of insensibility, and would probably have

been killed had not a convert who Was on the spot
