in hand, but portions of the consideration will
consist Of goods, stock, farming materials, etc.

A serious affair occurred at Rondout, New
York, on Sunday evening, the 25d ult., at a
drinking saloon kept by man of the name Of
Andy Erans. Some ten OF twelve Irishmen en-
gagged in fight, it appears, and q constable was
sent for. When he arrived, the Irishmen fell
upon him, threw him down, stamped and jumped
upon him. They would, doubtless, have muir
dered him, had he not produced revolver, le-
yelled it and fired One Of the party was in
stantly killed by the shot, the bullet having
pierced his heart The constable then levelled
again, and was in the act of firing, when an
lrishman sprang forward and struck his arm,
so that the bullet lodged in the ceiling. The
ARRAY then terminated The next morning the
authorities sent some persons for the body, SO
that an inquest might be held, but the Irishmen
refused to give it up. It seems they met to-
gether, and determined to fight rather than
deliver it up. The authorities then sent larger
number of men, when the body was at last given
up, and an inquest held. No further partieu-
lars have yet reached u.s.
