A MARKER SHOT AT A PRIVATZ RIFLI RANG".
—On Thursday night, while Mr. Archibald Todd, of Clench-
foot, was practising with the rifle at his private range on
the farm, be accidenttlly shot the marker, who was killed
on the spot. Smith is the name of the unfortunate lad who
has thus mot his death. He was about 20 years of age,
and was for some time past employed as ostler at the Tower
Hotel, Remick. —Hetrick Advertiser.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OP A LEICESTER MAGIB-
- regret to record the death of Mr. J. F. Hol-
lings, of Leiouter. Deceased married the sister of Mr. J.
Biggs, late M.P. for the borough, and his wife died in May
last. Since that time Mr. Hollings has been prostrate in
mind and body ; and although latterly he was thought to be
rallying, he wu found dead in his bedroom oo Sunday morn-
ing, in a manner which pee every reason to believe that the
unfortunate gentleman had committed suicide. Deceased
had qualified himself for the bar, but never practiced his
profession. He was eminently a man of letters, and took
part in the educational, social, and political movements of
the time. He was a borough magistrate, and was mayor is
1860. His death is greatly regretted by all classes, and it
will occasion a blank which will not readily be tilled up.
MORE THREATENING NoTrcea.—A few days alto
two threatening notices were received through the Post-
office of Kilmallock by Mr. Smyth and Mr. Daly, the
owners of threshing machines, threatening them with the
death of the late Mr. Fitzgerald if they hired them out.
The notices also stated that the vigilance of the police, or
the ingenuity of a most respectable magistrate who took •
very active part in bringing to jutice the murderers of Mr.
Fitzgerald, would not prevent the writers of the notice from
carrying their threat into execution, if their mandate was
not complied with. —Dub/la Preentaii.
RUNGURED SECESSION FROM THE SCOTTISH EFTS-
COPAL CHCBCII.—We (Edirtberzat Courant) understand
that, in reliable quarters, it is thought that the new omit of
canons which is in preparation for the Scottish Episcopal
Church may be the means of dividing that communion. A
large body of the clergy and laity, it is reported, intend to
enter into relations with the Church of England if au
other ritual than that of the Prayer-book be adopted.
ACTION FOR SEDUCTION AGAINST • CLZROYMAN.—

Smith, at the instance of Helen Morrison, weaver, Ifferhot-
street, Brecht., with consent of her father as her adminis-
trator-at-law, against the Rev. William Allan, minister of

ges sustained by the pursuer, and solatiula for her side*.
