CLCNIVEL. Fu. 7.

A melancholy occurrence took place near Bansha on
'Tuesday night. A respectable farmer. nan:ed Fain,
with a tangly of seen persons, retired to rest; not
having risen at the usual hour the morning following,
suspicion was etched amongst the neighbours, and in-
quiry took place, when it was discovesed that three of
the inmates, namely, Pant's daughter, aged eight )e le s;
his brother, aged 60; and a servant woman, aged SO,
had d ed during the night! In the course of Wednesdey
Fant himself expired. His son, a young lad, a servant
boy, and a sery int girl, the remaining inmates, are, we
fear, beyond all hope of recovery. The cau e the
death of so many human beings is abet ibed to suffoca-
tion, First having a short Alma before injudiciously
erected a small lime kiln in his kitchen, for the tAnlold
purpobe of. burning limp, and as a 6.e to answer for do-

The labours of the celebrated Tom Galvin have
ceased his avocation, and, in the recent executions of
Reilly and sJ4Dereseti, at Dublin, a new hangman was
allied in—a yes y singular kind of frisson, according to
his own showing. He came low the pie s-room a
short time before the culprits were brought Jown, and
having seated himself oolis great coat, which he had
folded neatly for Vie purpose, g..ve to some Gentle.
men, who were waiting in the room, an account,
of his life and adventures, of which the following is
a brief abstract: He had been a ploughman in the
emp oyment of the gaoler of Carrick ergus, thirteen
years agd; and on an emeigency, when a o an was to
' be whipped in the market place, he was taken from
the plough to the cat-o'-nine-tails, and from that time
his occupation had undergone a complete change. He
was thenceforward employed as hangman on the North-
west Circuit; and amongst others of his loits,• be
was the executioner of thirteen persons coiavieteJ for
the burning r f Wildgoose Lodge. Three years ago he
married a girl not much more than sixte n years old ;
and as his business increased, he fnund it necessary
to bring her to Omagh, at the time of an esecu.ion. lie
there initiated hear in the mysteries of his ail, and having
attired her in a man's apparel, she ;acted as executioner
on the occasion; and has actually continued to do so
rerun time to time since that period. He states that Le
ands this arrangement eziremely convenient ; for he

wife is a tending another in a different part of the coon-
try.—Cork jouilsera &peeler.

The tableblade and shoeknife grinders have resolved
to turn out for an advance of wages, and have posted
the walls of the town with an address, inviting the public

which wages were paid in the year referred to, accord-
ing to the Manifesto of the workmen just published,
exhibits a scale exceeding by one third, and in some
cases by one half, the rate of pricesathich they are at
