house, the shot taking effect in the back Of

house, the shot taking effect in the back Of
his neck, killing him on the spot. The
constabulary at Moynalty were appraised of
the affair, and soon turned out; and soon
after strong force from Kells, under Sub
Inspector NJ Cormick, arrived at the place
to make all inquiries relative to the occur
renee. Later in the night young man
named Bryan, nephew 10 the deceased,
was arrested by the police on suspicion.
1t has transpired that the deceased had
purchased % acres of land, on one of
which his nephew Peter Bryan, who is
about p years cid, lived in hut formerly
occupied by his father and mother, who
are now dead. At the last sessions for
the county, Bryan instituted proceedings
for evicting his nephew. This is said to
have caused bed feeling between the par
ties, which Vas intensified by the feelings
of commiseration everywhere expressed on
behalf of the young man who was threat
ened with eie3tment. On the day before
his death, Bryan called on his nephew to
say he would put him out of the house the
following day. Some alteration ensued;
the nephew asked for time, the uncle re-
fused, and the parties separated, not On
the best of terms. The coroner tor the
county, held an inquest con the body.
Young Bryan was present in custody dur
ing the inquiry, at the close of which the
jury found an open verdict, to the effect
that the deceased died from the effects Of a
gunshot wound but that there was no evil
dence before them to show by whom the
injury was inflicted.
The prisoner is detained in custody by the
police, who have since arrested two young
men, who, they consider may be able to
afford some important information.
A dispatch received since the above was
in type states that the local magistrates,
after further investigation Of the circum-
stances of the murder, agreed that the
nephew, Pete Bryan, was not the man
who had mur lered the deceased, and he
was therefore liberated. Suspicion then
fell upon man named Walsh, who resided
but short distance from the house of the
murdered man. Having taken him into
custody, minute search of the house was
made, and several documents were discov-
cred; amongst them threatening letter
to the deceased. This, it was stated, was
in the hand writing of Walsh, and stated
that If the dead man attempted to remove
the orphaned nephew (Peter Bryan,) he
might prepare for black salt" Walsh
has been removed to Trim jail, where he is
at present confined.

American Poets in EDXla nd :.

Justin Mccarthy, in one of his recent
London letters, says:
| have heard wonderful story about
Bret Harte, told in full faith by a London
literary man. Bret Harte, the story went,
is now in London-a fact of which l was
not aware. He is a man of gigantic stat
ure which he certainly was not when l.
saw him LAST, enormous personal strength,
and temper which, although noble and
generous, is somewhat stormy. A London
publisher, who occasionally reprints Amerl-
can books (and, indeed, English books,
too, for that matter,) without paying the
authors, had pirated Mr.. Harte's "Sensa-
ton Novels" One of these was supposed
to reflect on a certain brilliant Bohemian of
London literature, and the Bohemian
brought an action for libel. The publisher
waited on Bret Uarte, and asked whether
he, Mr.. Harte, was not prepared to assume
all the pecuniary responsibility. Drawing
himselfup to his full height, and fla shing on
the publisher an eye of scorn, he exclaimed;
Miserable wretch! First you rob me of
my property, and next you ask me to pay
you for your crime!' Then, Selling the
affrighted publisher in his arms, he lifted
him high inair; and, when The miserable man
believed he was about to be hurled into
space, Bret Harte scornfully lowered him to
the ground, and dismissed him with one
contemptous kick. can assure you that
the man who told me this story fully believed
it, and was loud in his admiration of Bret
Harte's noble anger, Titanic strength, and
whitening magnanimity. l don't know
whether | am to class with this legend va
rious stories which | have heard about, the
eccentrcties of another American poet,

A correspondent of the New York Econ
smist and Dry Goods Reporter, in let
ter advocating the raising of long -wooled
sheep, says:
We feel it not only a pleasure but duty
to refer to the beautiful flock of Lincoln
shires owned by Wolcott & Campbell, of
New York Mills, near Utica. Some of
these sheep shear sixteen pounds feeces,
others twelve and thirteen. The average
weight of 100 was near 10 pounds, and the
staple Of some thirteen inches long. The
wool was not coarse, but beautiful luster,
every staple beautifully built, entirely free
from colts or any bad bottom.
They well understand the value of roots,
raising large quantities and feeding liberal
ly-their flock Of sheep surpass anything in
the country, and are not over fed for the
purpose of taking prizes, but to produce
the best results in lambs, mutton and wool.
They have done much to improve the char
acter Of the long woods in their neighbor-
hood, and some beautiful crosses with the
Merino have been produced from their
rams. This splendid lot of wool was sold
70 a person who wishes he could find a
hundred thousand such focks in the coun-
try, and not less of any other kind: then
should we cease to look across the waters
for wool to supply our factories, and we
should be well supplied with the best NUT
ton, which at the present time is very diff
cult to find this side of the water, except
in Canada; there a traveller can enjoy to
a certainty a good mutton chop. When
| our farmers talk of the long-wooled sheep
being great eaters, they should bear in
mind that Walcott & Campbell have sheep
three years old that weigh near three hun
dred pounds, while one hundred pounds
would be the weight of good three-year
old Merino, and the mutton not worth half
as much as that from the pure
Lincolnshire, Cotswold or Leicester
Then they will realize that one
of the longwooled sheep is equal
to three Merinos in point of weight and
point of value; wool, lambs, and mutton
considered nearly, if not quite, double that
of the Merino. But the value of the long
wooded sheep as mutton, the farmers of
| this country have not yet realized. They
| have not yet marketed their fat sheep, be-
cause they have been breeding rather than
feeding, and if we may form any opinion
from the wool, they have been under feed
ing rather than over feeding. We hope
| they will bear this in mind. a few roots in
addition to the feed they have had would
| yield them from one to one-and-a-half
pounds more wool per head, worth from &c
to lie per pound more than they have re-
ceived this year, and several pounds more
mutton and much better lambs, for the
ewes would furnish larger supply of milk.

TUReg KISSES OF F4REWELL

rHREE KISSES OF FAREWELL.
fThese exquisite verses are from one Of
aEsther Wynn's Love-Letters', in .Scri6ney'.
for December:
Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow;
Not ike the swift and joyous ones
We used to know
When We kissed because we loved each other
Simply to taste loves sweet,
And lavished our kisses as the summer
Lavishes heat
But - they kiss whose hearts are wruns,
When hope and fear are spent,
And nothing j. left to give. except
A sacrament
First of the three, my darling,
Is sacred unto pain;
We have hurt each other often;
We shall again,
When we pine because We miss each other,
And do not understand
How the written words are so much colder
Than eye and hand.
kiss thee, dear, for all such pain
Which We may give or take;
Buried, forgiven, before it comes
For our loves sake
The second kiss, my darling,
Is full Of joys sweet thrill;
We have blessed each other always;
We always will
We shall reach until we feel each other,
Past all of time and space,
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place;
The earth is full Of messengers,
Which love sends to and fro;
kiss thee, darling, for all joy
Which We shall know!
The last kiss, oh, my darling,
by love--I cannot see
Through my tears, as | remember
What it may be.
We may die and never see each other,
Die with no time to give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token of what they will not see
Who see our parting breath,
This one last kiss, my darling, seals
The seal of death
