THE. ASSAILANT SHOT DEAD,  Another shocking attempt to shoot a landlord took place near Swineford, county Mayo, on Thursday morning, in daylight. Mr. Henry M'Gloiu, a landlord and a merchant, living at Aclare, some seven miles from Swineford, was proceeding, at about eight o'clock, to the usual fortdgbtly Petty Sessions, held on Thursday, at Foxford, for the purpose of prosecuting some tenants whom he had evicted, but who had taken forcible possession. It appears that Mr. hll'Oluin was driving a side oar, and when about half-way, at a place called Killasser, he noticed a man coming over the wall by the roadside. Mr. Mc'Gloin observed that his movement were suspicious, and he at once got his repeating-rifle (which he is always in the habit of carrying) in readineos. He was not a moment too soon, as the man came up and deliberately placed a revolver at his heart. Owing to some mistak-, the revolver missed fire, and the would-be assassin turned and fled. Mr. M'Gloin fired one shot from the car, but missed striking the man, who by this time had taken to the fields. Mr. hniloin then jumped off the oar, knelt on the  road, and fired. The time he hit the man, who fell. Mr. M'Gloin left him in the field, nod proceeded to Foxford, where he gave information to the police. Another man who was driving a horse and cart to Swineford was within one hundred y.trds of the scene of the outrage, and Paw the occurrence. He however, did not wait to see whether the man was dead or nut, but went on to the police barracks and reported the occurrence. Sub-Inspector M'Curdle and Dr. O'Grady, with a large force of police, left for the scene of the outrage, where they found the body in a field. Mr. M'Gloin, who has lived all his life in the district, stated that the man is a total stranger to him. A revolver was found clutched closely in the hand of the dead man, who was named Patr:ok Jennings, and was a lately retired soldier. Another man, lately returned from America, was arrested on suspicion of having consiired to murder Mr. M'Gloin. Important papers were found on the dead man's person, which, it is supposed, led to the arrest. At an inquest on the body of Jennings, 12 of the jury out of 14 were of opinion that Mr. M'Gloin was not justified in firing the shot, and a verdict of manslaughter against that gentleman was returned. His own recognisance in £lO was accepted by the coroner for his appearance.  AT the Tunbridge Wells Police-court on Monday Henry Seymour, decorator, was summoned by the t )wn authorities for composing, printing, or publishing a scandalous, impious, blasphemous, and profane libel concerning the Holy Scriptures and Curistian religion. The priaoner is secretary of the local branch of the Secularista' S and in announcing an entertainment for Eater Monday and Tuesday the bill contained the libel complained of. The prisoner was clmmtted for trial at the assizes.  VaccmaTiox,--:-Ac-cf:din-g-t-o--an--km-en", Herr Krupp is a ataunch believer in the efficacy of vaccinat on. Ho recently expressed to his enspioyes a desire that they should all submit to the operation, small-pox being pre. valent in the neighbourhood of Eisen. Ouly six of the 8.000 bared their arms to the lancet. whereupon Herr Klapp is-cad an ultimatum to the effect that every workman mud either be vaccinated or leave his establishment, promising that the operaton should take place during working hours, that it eh iold cost them nothing, and lair, though not least, that ~nly animal lymph should be used. The men surrendered at ohne. There are not many catablishments in Germany where each workman has a model cottage and a bit of garden attached, a pension fund, a relief fund, and a dozen other funds in which he can participate in case of accident or idmerannuation.
