ANOTHER SUSPICIOUS DEATH NEAR LAUGHARNE•
—lt will be remembered that during the trial of Elizabeth
Gibbs on a charge of having poisoned her fellow-servant,
Rebecca Uphill, at the recent assizes for this connty, it was
sought to be established as one of the motives which had in-
stigated the prisoner to the commission of the crime, that the
deceased had a short time previously endeavoured to induce a
person named Jane Lewis, of Crugyfetton, to apply for the
situation of cook, at Brixton, then held by Elizabeth Gibbs,
but from which she had at that period had notice to quit, by
Mrs. Severne, of Craigyborion. It will now appear as if
some awful fatality was attached to all connected with the
late direful tragedy, for, on Tuesday last, Jane Lewis, who
was at home engaged in brewing (and who was in a short
period to have been married), was mysteriously attacked
with illness, and having lingered for a comparatively short
time, expired in great agony. We are given to understand
that the body of the unfortunate young woman has shown
such rapid symptoms of decomposition as to excite the sus-
pieions of her relatives and neighbours. As numerous ru-
mours are necessarily current, we refrain from adducing fur-
ther particulars, but have no doubt that a coroner's inquest
will be held, if necessary, and that every effort will then be
used to obtain a solution of the true cause of what undeni-
ably appears to be at present a very mysterious occurrence.—

DUEL AT LINCOLN.—The Lincolnshire Chronicle
states, that prior to the commencement of M. Jullien's con-
cert, on Tuesday last, an incident which might have been
attended with tragic consequences took place. It appears
that Herr Somers, the saxophonist, and M. Grillen, one of
the French drummers, had an altercation respecting some
pecuniary obligation existing between them. High words
ensued, and a duel was decided on to settle the dispute.
Which might also have "settled" the disputants as well, had
fortune willed it so. Pistols were procured, and the seconds,
Messrs. Winterbottom, Cioffi, Franks, and Viset, quickly
measured off twenty paces in one of the passages of the
Assembly Rooms. The combatants took their respective
positions, and on a preconcerted signal both fired. The bullet
from one missed its mark, but that of the other passed close
b,y,satthiesfaneetcikon: his antagonist, carrying away a portion of his
coat-collar which was shot through, and, striking the wall
some paces off, deeply indented the brickwork. The seconds
interfered, and each party deeming he had ob ained sufficient
hands, and thenaswen is ri enatcori b

EASY EXPUTAION OF RATS.—A farmer in the
neighbourhood of Paisley has for some time past put garlic
in the bottom of his grain stacks; and since he has adopted
this plan has never been troubled with vermin. Before
adopting this plan, on taking down a stack of grain, the
assistants never killed less than 15 to 20 rats, and above 100
mice. This is a very simple, cheap, effective measure of
preserving gain in stßolis.
