THE FORKIIILL MURDER TRIAL.  The inquiry into the Forkbill murder case has ended in a further adjourmuent, when it will be resumed in Ballylot Court House. The prisoner, Stephen M'Keown, on being conveyed to Forkhill from Newry Bridewell, was strongly guarded by the constabulary. At hisdepartme largecrowda of persons assembled round the Bridewell ; but, beyond an occasional hiss, no hostile demonstration was made by the people. On arriving at the village he was hooted fiercely by the assembled crowds, and the police hail some difficulty in saving him from personal violence. During the excitement he bore himself coolly, and smiled several times. There were eight magistrates present at the inv.tigation, two of whom were stipendiary. The Crown was again represented by Mr. Greer, Sessional Crown Solicitor, and Mr. M•Gennis, Newry, defended the prisoner. At the outset of the proceeding. the Crown withdrew the charge against Bridget Bennett, and she was discharged. Al ter the examinat ion of four witness., one of whom was Dr. John M'Bride, Bridget Bennett was called, and her former dep.ition was read over to her. Ins addition she deposed to having seen the prisoner M'Keown coming from the place where the body was lying.

She lira made this confession to Sub-Inspector Bull, and afterwards to the Crown Soliciter.—On his departure from Forklifil for the Bridowell at Newry, the country people displayed the utmost excitement.

When the witnem Bridget Bennett was leaving the charge of the police, a sister of the murdered girl made a dash at her, and ahnost dragged her off the car. She pulled her shawl off in the attempt, and another girl threw it into the adjoining ricer.  -A -RAS in love has very little need of victuals.

(The wretch ! may he soon get married, and—well, that's punishment enough.) A RECENT historical writer thus describes Anne Boleyn, whom he declaren to have been a heartless and mercenary flirt "A little, lively, sparkling brunette, with fascinating eyes and long black hair, which, contrary to the comber fashion of those days, she vrore coquettishly, floating loosely down her back, interlaced with jewels." A MAN in Northampton, it. in mid, made no many pairs of sham in one day that it took two days to count them. Ile was a smart one, but not equal to one in county Tipperary, who built FO many miles of stone fence in one day that it took him all night and next day to get home.
