A very painful occurrence is reported from Edwardsa-

officer of the garrison were walking in the neighbourhood
of the cantonments ; and, having crossed a wall to enter
a field, were stopped by the proprietor, who grumbled at
the trespass. His manner appeared insolent to the as-
sistant-commissioner, who struck him on the side of the
head with a stick. The native died almost immediately
after. Inquiry is being instituted.

AN EDUCATION BILL FOR lIRELAND.—A
question which is beginning afresh to occupy atten-
tion in Ireland at present is that of education, and people
are askin,, what the Government are about to do in the
matter of" an Irish Education Bill in the coming session.
Is the national system to be maintained with its present
form of administration, conducted in such a manner as to
be practically opposed to the principles upon which
the scheme was founded, or are we to have a system
undisguisedly denominational ? Another point of no little
importance is that of the position of the teachers, who, in
Ireland, are not even so well paid as the teachers in
England, and who are beginning to complain again of not
having been properly considered. The English Education
Bill having been passed last session, that for Ireland is
naturally expected to follow as speedily as possibla, and
no sign seems as yet to have been given as to what is
proposed to be done on some of the most important points
of the subject.
LADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Pllls.—Let the Sick
to e Heed.—The stomach is the commissariat of the phy-
sical system. It furnishes the material sustenance of
every organ. If disordered, the whole body languishes ;
but however severely affected, its tone and vigour may
al ways be restored by a course of these irresistible pills.
Bilousness, indigestion, liver complaints, and other dis-
orders of the stomach, can easily be cured by the use of
Holloway's Pills. Thousands attest this assertion, and no
sufferer having once tried them will deny their supreme
efficacy. In every case of stomach disease, from the
mildest case of dyspepsia to the horrifying concer, from
the nausea of the free liver to the vomiting accompanying
ulcerated stomach, these pills immediately relieve, and
generally cure.
