TIPPERARY.
Shortly before o'clock ON the
morning of Feb. Il daring outrage
occurred at the residence Of a re-
spectacle shopkeeper, Mrs. McCor-
mack, of Meeting street, Tipperary.
Mrs. Mccormack and her servant, who
were sleeping in different beds in the
same apartment, were startled by the
appearance Of a soldier in their bed
room, who after entering made a rush
ut the servant and produced n razor
with which he threatened to cut her
throat if she raised any alarm. Miss
Mccormack, who had escaped from
the room, gave the alarm, and Con-
stable Mullins and II. Mcclure were
Oh the scene within few minutes, and
before the soldier could effect his es-
cape he was arrested. He gave his
name as Private Jones, Of the Shrop-
shire regiment, stationed in the town.
On his person was found the razor re-
ferred to, and when questioned by the
constable he stated that it was money
lie wanted. He had effected an ell
trance over high wall at the rear of
Mrs. McCormack's premises, and
broke open one Of the back windows,
through which he forced his way, and
thence to the bedroom, where he was
captured. 1t is rather remarkable
that, in the early part of the same
night. the windows of Mrs. McCor-
nack's shop were broken by another
soldier Of the same regiment, who was
also promptly taken into custody; SO

On Feb. II melancholy shooting
accident occurred at Brookend, about
six miles from Stewartstown, whereby
Il middle-aged man named John Camp,
bell, of Lissin, lost his life. "A young
man named George Crawford was ar,
rested, charged with causing the un,
fortunate mans death. He and the
deceased had been drinking together
and Campbell accompanied Crawford
to his fathers house to get a gun
While in the house they had some tea
and whisky and appeared on friendly
terms. Crawford wanted deceased tc
remain all night, but he refused, and
asked him to test the gun and give il
to him. Crawford took down the gun
from the brace above the fireplace III
the kitchen, and, while handling the
hammer, the gun, which was loaded
went off, the contents lodged in Camp
bells breast and he instantly fell and
expired. AS the result Of the verdict
of the coroner's jury, Crawford was
arrested and held for the action of the
grand jury.
