DUBLIN, June 10, 1875
To-day had at the Dundalk ranges tile weather to
which in England they apply the loyal epithet Of
Queens weather." because OF the proverbal good
fortune OF Queen Victoria this respect. II would
have been mpossble't to find greater TO last
Saturday than to-day presented. II SIMPLY charm

air that famed one whenever the seemed for .
moment inclined TO be too warm, and a capital
light on tho targets that all the shooters recog-
nzed perfect The trees looked simply
beautiful in their abundant and tender folinge
rose tho Carlingford Mountains like chain OF sentines
guarding the fertile plains Of Iouth at their feet The
whole more peaceful, perhaps more PIC
turesque, certainly more cultivated than Doymount
However, the two ranges cannot be compared for
moment. This at Dundnlk is narrow that only two
targets DO used 1t is also provoknely Short SO
that to-day, for example, the firing had TO be suspe ndcd
more than once by OF passing vessels coming
into range
These drawbacks certainly did not exist at Dolly

went slowly, and did not finish until half past six

A Wonderful Occurrence.
Fyom the Ncwbcrry Herald.

On Monday parties Of undoubtci

that happened last week on Dr.. j.

That something unusual happened
on the place there can be no doubt
us the whole ncighborhood around
Dr.. Williams place is very much

visited the scene and have verified
the wonderful phenomenon. The
thing is almost too incredible to be
believed, but from tho high stand

occurrence there must be something
III it. The following is statement
OF the affair from reliable gentle
man :
The lady Of the house WIS doing
somo household work when piece
of IL brick fell in tho room on the
floor. She Thought nothing of it.
Supposing that some one had
thrown itinto the house accidentally,
she pushed it in the fireplace, when
wonderful, to relate the brick Jump.
ed out Of tho fireplace, danced over
the floor and went into one Of tho
other rooms Of the house. About
the same time q boy and a man were
working in II field near house,
wEcn they were appalled, by shower
of rocks, one Of wni"h hit the boy,
infli"ting Il severe blow the man
ran home for his gun, thinking
some one lying concealed was
throwing thom but after the most
diligent search failcl to see any
one. The boy is hurt worry badly
and as yet has not recovered from
the effects Of tho blow. Some
parties hearing of tho occurrence n
day or two after, went to tho hous,
to investigate, and chairs being
offered by the host, they sat down,
one chair being empty; in the
middle of thoir conversation about
the affair they were alarmed and
startled by seeing stick of wood
fall directly into the empty chair. 1t
seemed to fall from the ceiling and
was thrown by no visible hands.
The rocks an | bricks from last
accounts arc continuing TO jump
around, and as yet no solution can
be offered for this wonderful occur.
