LIZ TAY.—AB a consequence of the strong south-westerly breezes which have pi evailed since Friday last, the salmon-fishing in the Tay from Earn mouth to Almond mouth was much more successful on Saturday and on Monday than for many years past. On Saturday, the several stations from Cairnie to Seggieden had each on an average 40 fish. - On Monday morning, at one station, 70 fish were caught, and on the Friarton Island about 100; and the other stations were equally fortunate. The gatheringboata which came with the tide to Perth about noon had 180 to 200 fish each. Above Perth Bridge, on Monday morning, 65 fish were caught at the North Inch station. At Almond month, 100 fish were landed. The stations beyond to the Linn of Campsie were lees fortunate, and landed a few fish each. About two-thirds of the lish captured were salmon of the average weight, and in fine condition. The other portions were grilse and trout. Price of salmon unchanged. An accident of a serious nature occurred on Saturday evening to Mr Robert bd. Murtrie, son of Mr Robert Mnrtrie, farmer, Broomberry. It appears he had been attending a golf match at Monkton, and as he intended to ride home, the rest of the left previous to his departure.

A felt  barely,  Tralee, Thnraday.-The prisoner, Philip Michael Foley, was placed at the bar to-day, and sentenced to be hanged on 18th August next. It is expected the extreme sentence will not be carried out. Six or seven persons have been arrested near Kilmallock, on the charge of harbonring Walsh, accused of the murder of Mr Fitzgerald, and among them are two respectable farmers. A diabolical attempt at murder was perpetrated on Tuesday, by a man named Martin Hough alias O'Leary, upon a young woman named Maria Met. chain, in the house 2, Lacy's Lane, off M.errion Street. The young woman was a servant in the employment of Dr Athell, and Hough had been paying his addresses to her, contrary to the wishes of her mother and brother. She had latterly refused to have any further communication with him; and, exasperated at this, he followed her jute the house on Tuesday, and inflicted a frightful cut OD her throat with a razor. Some neighbours, hearing her screams, rescued her, and gave him into custody. It is hoped that she will recover. -Dublin Eppress.
