following are the particulars:—About fortnight since a

to Constable Read, of the Huggins-town station, and

one
night, sometime between the 25th of December, 1847,
and the Ist of January, 1848, she chanced to pass the

door of John Walsh, at Castlegannon, and turned for
the purpose of going in, but drew back in terror upon
beholding the body of Walsh's brother-in-law, Thomas
Ball, a cow-jobber, lying dead and covered with blood on
the floor, and Walsh and his daughter making ready to
remove it by the back door. She contrived to get away
without being observed, and upon reaching home in-
formed her husband of what she had beheld. He
strictly enjoined her never to divulge the circum-
stances, and during his life she kept the pledge.
On inquiry the constable found many circumstances to
corroborate this strange story, for Ball had been sud-
denly missed from the locality at the period indicated, and
when be was known to have had with him a large sum
ot money. It had, however, been supposed that he went
privately to America. Walsh and his daughter were ar-
rested and committed for further examination by Mr. J.
de Montmorency, J.P., and a search having been made
at the house at Castlegannon, a skeleton was actually
discovered buried at a few yards' distance from
the back door. There is bat little room left for
doubt teat this was the body of Ball, who had been
murdered for the sake of the money he was known
to have in his possession. An inquest was held
on the remains on Monday last by Mr. T. Izod, coro-
ner, when the following verdict (on which Walsh was
fully committed for trial on the charge of murder) was
returned:—" That the said deceased was discovered
dead in an old yard, late in the occupation of John
%Valsb, on the lands of linockinoylan, on Tuesday last;
that said deceased's skull was extensively fractured
on both temples with a blunt or some such weapon,
feloniously and of malice aforethought, by him the saiu
John Walsh, late of Castlegannon, aided and assisted
therein by a person or persons unknown; and that the
said murder appears to have been perpetrated on or
about the close of the year 1847."—Kilkenny Moderator

THE LATE ADJUTANT FLETCHER, 73D REGIMENT.—
The news in this day's paper contains the death of E-
sign and Adjutant Fletcher, of the 73d, killed in scion
with the Katirs on the 16th April. Although a melen-
Choly truth, still it is gratifying to us to know that this
officer's early death is severely felt by a large body of his
friends at home, as well (as our private letters from
the Cape my) ell who had the pleasure of knowing
him there; and it must be highly gratifying to those
friends to read the eulogium on his merits pronounced in
General Orders by his Commanding Officer, Lieutenant
Colonel Eyre. Mr. Fletcher was a native of Birr, is
Ireland, and, we have heard, was educated for the
Church, but not liking the path laid out for him by his
friends, he left Ireland, and enlisted in the Scotts Fusilier
Guards in 1836, and, from his assiduiry and his previous
education, was in 1841 appointed Sergeant and Pas? Ser-
geant. When the Board of Officers was formed for the
examination of claims for the War Medal, Mr. Fletcher
,was selected as clerk to the board, where his un•
tirng exertions in behalf of the claimants gave so much
satisfaction to his superiors that his commanding effieer
,recommended him to the Duke of Wellington for a
commission, and Mr. Fletcher was gazetted to the
73d Regiment in November, 1848, and shortly after
joined his regiment at the Cape. Mr. Fletcher was
highly respected by his brother non-commissioned
officers in the Fusilier Guards, and was looked upon as
one of the best drills in the British army. In 1847 he
published a small volume upon arithmetic, which he
dedicated, by permission, to his colonel, Prince Albert;
his Royal Highness was so pleased with this really
clever work that he presented Mr. Fletcher with a silver
medal as a mark of his approbation. in the death of
Mr. Fletcher the British army has lost a good soldier
and a kind-hearted comrade; but there is one left whose
loss is far more severe and irreparable—his poor wile,
who by this sudden affliction is deprived of her protector,
and with four children is left to deplore her loss. Need
we say that we sincerely trust the authorities will do a
they can or her'?
