PARKER-STREET, LIVERPOOL.  SHOOTING WILD BULLOCKS ON THE MOUNTAINS.-This seldom heard-of practice has for the last few weeks been resorted to by Mr. Rigg, Windermere hotel, in consequent.," of the- extreme -wiltinesS Of -a, -Ufa of yonugoxen, bred, and now crraziwi' in a large healthy allotment on llughill Fell, which lies situate aboul three miles cast of the Windermere Railway Station, not far from Kentmere-hall. The most skilful marksmen, with first-rate rifles, have been trying their hands on several occasions. About a week or two ago, one of the wild animals was brought down by a ball, which entered the middle of the neck, and instantly put an end to him, . after a sweltering chase of more than an hour. In fact these chases may be likened to something between wild boar hunting and deer-stalking, which may be imagined to have taken place in these forests in olden time. Yesterday another muster was made of riflemen and herdsmen to kill two more of the remaining lot, which numbered about twelve to fourteen. After-au arduous chase to get them ino a circumscribed space, two Were selected for the fatal bullet. The first shot all escaped scot free. The next elscharge, however, told right in the forehead of one, which toppled hint over dead, falling nearly out of sight among the bushy heather. The second was hit the first fire, the ball entering behind the left ear, and rolling him also over, like his wild comrade, dead among the ling. An expert butcher instantly applied the whittle, and after bleeding a sufficient time they were placed in carts ready to receive them, and moved off to Windermere to be cut up, anti proved uncommonly fine fat beef. This mode of slaughter seems to be more quick, and, consequently, less painful than that which is generally followed in the common slaughter-houses.—KertaW Ifercury. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE IN STAFFORD:anat.—Another of thoSe diabolical outrages which have of late becotne se prevalent in South Staffordshire was committed at Coseley, near Princes End, on Sunday last. It appears that on Saturday night last, a labourer, named David Harrison, residing at Wallbrook, came from his work at Hopkins and Bradley's Tevidale, and left 15s. with his wife to pay the rent and the week's accounts. He then went into a neighbouring public-home, and commenced drinking. Shortly afterwards his wife went to him, and stated that the money he had given her was insufficient to procure necessaries for the ensuing week. He refused to give her more, and a slight altercation ensued, but at that time no blows were struck. Upon proceeding home, however, he commenced abusing, her, and in the night he pulled her out of bed, and she roused the neighbours by her screams. About ten o'clock on Sunday morning a neighbour, named Mrs. Leech, went in, and the ruffian had then got hold of his wife's head, which he held against the wall, whilst he beat her with his right fist until she was insensible. Two fingers of the right hand of the man had been cut off at- his work ; his fist, therefore, was more like a jagged weapon than a human hand. Upon the neighbours interfering, the brute, after having committed this savage assault,. cut him Self something to eat, and walked away front his honk. Mr. Smith, surgeon, was sent for to the poor woman, and he found upon examination:that her nose was fractured severely, and that she had sustained other -severe injuries. So violent was the blow on the nose that the blood gushed_ in torrents from her mouth, and she has at present lost the power of articulating. The other injuries are so severe, and the woman is in such a weak-state, that the medical men who have attended her entertain very little hopes of her recovery.. Upon the husband being informed 'of the nature of theinjuries be bad inflicted, be got out of the neighbourhood, haying previously informed a woman who interfered that he meant to murder his wife. A watch was, however, set for him by the police authorities, and he was captured at a friend's house in Tipton on Monday morning, whilst at breakfast, and conveyed to Bilston gaol. *7l ippiag *ittliAtact.
