their patient's life, when the operation was (at seven
o'clock) proceeded with ; but, finding that the joint
remained unopened, they were enabled to save two inches
of the bone, and thus render the case less complicated.
The young officer bore the operation with undaunted
fir ainess and admirable nerve—never uttered a murmur—
and lost but very little blood. He is, we are happy to
say, going on favourably, and without any unpleasant
symptom arising. Ensign St. John, who was also on the
car, had a most providential escape, the ball passing near
hi; heed. The operation of amputation of the limb %as
performed with great skill and celerity, with but appa-
rently slight pain to Captain Lyon. Major Atherly, 92d,
who attended his suffering friend during the operation,
and who had served upon the staff of the late Major-
General Sir. J. Lyon, father of the unfortunate young
gentleman, evinced the deepest solicitude and sympathy
during the perilous ordeal, after which he immediately
undertook to apprize by letter, Lady Lyon, of the ter-
rible accident to her only son, communicating the sad
news to a loving and beloved parent in terms the least
distressing to her feelings. Major General Sir John
Lyon was formerly quartered with the 97th in this
garrison, and died on service in the West Indies.
Lady Lyon resides with her daughters at Dover. Cap-
tain Lyon, 92d, exchanged from the Coldstream Guards
last December to his present corps with Captain War-
render, and in which he served before entering the
Coldstreams. About three years ago we had the pain
of recording the death of Major Bevan, East India Com-
pany's service, under precisely similar circumstances as
the above.—Limerick Chronicle.

THE LATE DREADFUL MURDER.—TIIC authorities
are actively employed endeavouring to bring the mur-
derers of Sergeant-Major Grant to justice. Since our
last several persons have been arrested in different parts
of this county and County Tipperary. It is said that a
subscription is being raised amongst the staff-officers of
pensioners and their corps for the widow and orphans of
Sergeant-Major Grant. We hope this is the case, as
the afflicted family are fitting objects for public com-
miseration.—King's County Chronicle.
