EAGLE MURDER.—Last week a lad, named Kenneth
Macdonald, in the employment of Mr. Cameron, Tanis-
ker, Skye, whose exploits among eagle cliffs we have
before had occasion to notice, succeeded in shooting two
eagles, right and left. What makes the feat extraordi-
nary is that the birds are of different species, one being
a white-tailed Or sea eagle, and the other a golden
eagle. Macdonald .discovered them preying upon the
carcass of a sheep; at his approach they rose simulta-
neously, and while mounting rapidly upwards he fired
right and left and brought both the birds down. The
sea eagle is a magnificent specimen, perfect in every
point, and measuring no less than 7 feet 3 inches from
tip to tip. The golden eagle was a younger bird; it
measured 6 feet 6 inches from tip to tip.--Inverness
Courier.

THREE CHILDREN BURNED TO ASHES.—DRUDIKEERANt
COUNTY LEITRIM, Jan. 30.—Last night the house of
Michael Kelly was destroyed by fire, and three of his
children perished in the flames. Kelly and his wife had
been at Drunikeeran Fair, and returned home about ten
o'clock. An hour or so later in the night, Kelly's wife
went to a farm to milk and fodder some cattle, leaving
in the house her husband and five children, the eldest of
whom was not over eleven years of age. When she came
back in the course of an hour or better, the house ivae_
on fire ; her husband and the eldest and the youngest
child were to be seen ; but the second, third, and fourth
could nowhere be found ; they bad fallen a prey to the
devouring element, Kelly, who, it must be added, was
the worse for drink, had partially undressed himself and
went to bed. The children, waiting their mother's re-
turn, took a candle to search for cakes in the pockets of
their father's coat. The candle ignited some flax in the
room, and instantly the whole apartment was in flames.
The eldest boy succeeded in rousing up his father. Half
suffocated and bewildered, he carried out the children ;
the youngest remained outside in its cradle, but the
others unnoticed entered the house again, where they
were suffocated and caught by the fire, except the eldest,
who was dragged out a mewed time in a state of inaensi'
bility. Everytbba_in the house was completely con-
sumed ; bank notes to the value of 17/. were burned ;
even the dog and cat did not escapeop.Sigo Chronicle.
