The exertions of the Reformers in Lyme-Regis in
in favour of the re-election of Lord John Russell have been
unabating. A subscription in aid of his expenses has been
entered into. The "No Popery" cry has had an effect on
some of our ignorant neighbours, over whom the clergy had
an influence.

EXTRAORDINARY UNDERTAKING.-Mr. Geo.
Pettis, of Wymering, undertook, for a wager with an agricul-
turist of Sussex, to draw the ewes with their own lambs se-
parately from a flock consisting of 280 ewes and 300 lambs,
out of which were 25 pair of twins, which task be accomplished
in the short space of two hours and a half, winning his wager
in a most masterly style.—Cheltenham Chronicle.
A MAD ELEPIIANT.—(From the Madras Ga-
zette, Dec. 17.)—One of the Nabob's servants met a most
shocking and horrible death yesterday. An elephant belong-
ing to the Chepauk Palace became suddenly attacked with a
paroxysm of furious madness, broke loose and seized the first
person that came in his way by his trunk, twirled him round
over his head with tremendous violence, dashed him to the
ground, and kept striking the lifeless body to the earth, till
having exhausted his fury upon this one victim he abandoned
the corpse. He then chased such others as dared to approach
him, but these were fortunate enough to keep out of his reach.
The animal afterwards fairly knocked down two other ele-
phants sent to overcome him. The gates of the Palace corn-
pound were immediately shut, and the keepers endeavoured to
go up and coax him. He walked gently off from them till
they were emboldened to walk up to him, when he suddenly
turned round and pelted after them at the top of his speed.
He did this several times, and a trooper went off express to
the Nabob to know what was to be done. Upon his arrival
the guards turned out and were ordered to fire upon the
elephant. The animal was eventually taken, but not till he
had received 20 balls. He is now in safe custody.
MURDER.--On Thursday last a man named Pat
Duggan was murdered in the town of Tipperary by an opposing
party, called the Hickey party. Some time before the mur-
der was committed a brother-in-law of the deceased had a
contradiction in a public-house in the town with the Hickeys,
who, after this, collected in a public-house in the suburbs,
leading to Doniskea, where they waited for the deceased and
his brother-in-law ; when the unfortunate man came up, the
Hickeys rushed out, with their coats off, armed with weapons
of iron, and attacking the deceased, deprived him in a few se-
conds of life. As soon as the bloody deed was perpetrated,
the murderers ran towards home. The police authorities
having received intelligence of the murder and the route of
the assailants, Mr. C. C. Gannon so hotly pursued them, that
about the distance of two miles he succeeded in apprehending
eight of the party, some of whom were without their coats,
with their shirts stained with the blood of the deceased. One
of this murderous party, named William Hickey, has been
identified as having struck the first blow which deprived his
fellow-creature of life. The deceased was a tenant of Mr.
Low, of Spring-house, and was a respectable farmer and a
man of excellent character ; he has left a wife and nine chil-
dren to deplore his loss.—Clonmel Herald
