A SERVANT GIRL SNOT DRAD.—Great conster-
nation was created on Saturday io the neighbourhood of
Tynypark, Glamorgaosbire, in consequence of its becoming
known that a young woman named Sarah Morgan, who re-
sided as a domestic strews with the family of Mr.
Edward Morgan, Tynypark Farm, had been shot
dead with a gun by a young man, George Johnson, who
was in the service of Mr. Bellingham, a the same neigh-
bourhood. It would seem that Johnson had been on friendly
terms with the deceased, and, according to the opinion of
some, sweethearting had been going on between them. Be
that an it may, it is certain that there was a friendly
intimacy between them, such as happily forbids any sus-
picion of malice in the terrible catastrophe. On the
morning of the occorrsoce the deceased and Johnson were
nostrum( in one of the rooms of his master's house,
when he playfully but most incautiously took up a gun,
pointed it at her bead, sod in the belief that the banal
was empty pulled the trigger. To his horror he
heard the report of the piece, and saw the unhappy
girl fall bleeding and deed before him. Nothing
could unpins the state of frantic exciternett into
which the tragic occurrence threw the poor fellow. He
declared that had there been a mooed barrel he would have
at mos shot himself ; and there is little doubt that, had
the gun been a double.barrelled one, arid both barrels
loaded, he would have ucrificed his own life as well. As
it was, upon getting a little calmer he gave himself
into the hands of Jams, of the county constabulary,
by whom he was detained in custody. The con-
stable forwarded immediate intelligence of the Ind
event to the coroner, Mr. J. M. Davis, who issued his
warrant summoning an inquest. The evideace made it clear
that the death of the poor girl was entirely accidental, and
the jury found a verdict " Homicide by misadventure."
Johnson, who in the circle in which be moves, is much re-
spected, was at once released from custody.
Tae YELVERTON FAMILY AND THE RECENT
Dect.siox.—A telegram having reached Belleisle, in Ire-
land, on Thursday evening, announcing that the decision of
the celebrated Yelverton ere had been given in favour of
the Hoc. Major Yelverton, the people of the locality
erected an enormous bonfire to express their pleasure
at the good news conveyed to Lord Avonmare's
family, who are much respected and liked in the
neighbourhood. His lordship, who was accompanied
by General Lyon, Mrs. Lyons, and erre& other ladies,
came out and thanked the people heartily for this token
of their goodwill towards himself and his family.
The tremendous cheering which greeted these remarks made
the welkin ring, and long life and good health were invoked
co his lordship and every member of his family, indivi-
dually and oollectively. Whoa the cheering had somewhat
subsided, General Leese, in •vi re appropriate speech, re-
tuned thanks for the warmth of feeling manifested by the
people, and the true judgment and good taste which were
displayed io expressing it. The trial which bad just been
brought to such a happy issue for Lord Avoomore's family
was not one in which a hasty decision had been given.
No; every feature sad circumstance of that ex-
traordinary one had been sifted to the very bottom by
the wisest beads of the three kingdoms. For four long years
the eyes of the civilised world had been looking on it with
interest, and, now that judgment had been given. it could
not be said by any that that judgment was not a righteous
oae, and he felt assured that it was one which met the ap-
proval of every Irishman whose heart was in the right
' pion The general, who was repeatedly interrupted by
deafening cheers, concluded his address by wishing health
and happiness to all assembled. Dewing was then begun
to the strains of the bagpipe, and all joined the merry
ring which was kept up with spirit till after midnight,
General Lyons and the ladies mixing freely with the
people. Ref reshrents were supplied by order of Lord
Accomore.—Nreagis Guardian.
