BALLINARLOS GREAT OMSK' FAll.—llle result of
the black cattle fair held on Friday last has proved an
agreeable surprise to the stockinasters. Instead of a
heavy fall in prices, the rates for first-clam animals
were equal to those of last year, and the decline on
inferior sorts did not exceed from 6s. to 15s. per head.
The demand was extremely brisk, and before noon
three-fourths of the sales were effected. The horse
fair, too, on the day previous, was one of the best for
many years; so that the failure in the sheep fair was,
upon the whole, pretty well balanced. The long drought
of the summer told terribly against the Connaught
breeders, as their chief custmnen, the graziers of Meath
and Westmeath, bought but sparingly this year, in
consequence of the great deficiency of grass and the
shortness generally of all crops fit for the consumption
of stock.

ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ASEARNINATt.—The following
extraordinary statement appears in the second edition of
the Erasing Freeman of last night:—" Mallinrobe,
Friday. The most fearful excitement has been created
in Etallinruhe and ita district, hy the report of an
attempt on the part of • Protestant clergyman to shoot
the Rev. Mr. Lavelle, of Partry. Details are yet want-
ing, but the case is to be tried in Ballinrobe on Tuesday
next. The Rev. Mr. Lavelle himself came to Ballinrobe
last night, and being perceived by a few persons on
entering was instantly surrounded by an immense mul-
titude, who, releasing his horse from the car, drew it
at full speed to St. Mary's, cheering vehemently the
whole time. Why does not Govermuent put a stop
to the system of proselytism, which is the fruitful
parent of all this trouble and excitement"

THE CATTLE TBADE.—NOEIVICH, Oct. B.—To-day's
market was largely supplied with store cattle; a good
aunnuit of business was transacted, but at the close of
the market about a fourth remained on hand. Scots
made 4s. to 41. 6.1. (forward in condition o.);5 short-
hone, 4s. to 4s. ; I)evons, 4s. to 4s. ; Irish,
Is. Cal. to 4s. per 141 b. (v441./1.4;41 weight when fat).
Both fat beasts and sheep dull.

A STATIONMAKTER KILLED ON THE MIDLAND RAIL.
wAy.—A shocking accident occurred on the Ripley
branch of the Midland Railway, six miles south of Der-
by, on Thursday morning, by which the etationmaater at
Denbey pte lost his life. It appears that as the first
coal train in the morning, due at Denbey at 6.30, came
near the Denbey gate the stationmaster heard the
whistle and proceeded to open the gate, but from some
cause he wax not so quick in the performance of this
duty u WILtl required, and the train cattle upon him just
as he was crossing the line and crushed him fearfully
against the gate, the latter being smashed to atoms.
The body was hurled some distance by the force of the
concussion, and when picked np he was found to be
dreadfully mutilated. The poor man died almost im-
mediately. He has left a wife and two children. There
was a dense fog pervading at the time, and the sup-
position is that he was not aware the train was so near
the gate.
