the second flight, and unscrewed the pin. As soon as
they entered they covered the heads of two female servants,
in order that they would not know them or cause a noise

Liss Martiiis, who were in a room adjacent, heard
the noise, and immediately ran out ; the first thing they
saw was three men, with their faces blackened, and one

of them in female attire : one of the ladies ran to the win-
dow, and screamed aloud for help, for which the ruffians
gave her a severe crush on the chest. The other sister
had a poker, and gave one of the ruffians two blows on
the arm when she saw her sister struck. At this time the
Rev. Mr. Martin came up, and the youngest of the Miss
Martins rushed between the ruffians and her aged father,
and said not to shoot him but to shoot herself. One of
them had a short gun, the other a large hatchet, and the
third a piece of iron. They demanded arms and money.
Mr. Martin was compelled to give them £3. After they
got the money they went off.—Limerick chronicle.
