From there he went across the road to the pond, and alter divesting himself of his coat and hat, leaped into the filthy, stagnant water, and disappeared. A little girl had been vent to watch where he went to, and she witnessed him jump into the pond, the last she saw of him being the movements of his hands over his head as he sank. Sha told what she had seen. Thereupon information was sent to the police of the occurrence, and Inspector Mortimer and Sergeant Lowes soon got there. The news spread ' quickly in the town, and a large crowd of people assembled in the vicinity, watching the efforts made by the aid of grappling irons to find the body.

Where is the object? There is £3,000 worth of stock in the place; you don't think I should do such a thing as that, do you ?" Upon further examination of the premises several boards were found steeped in paraffin, and also a quantity or chloride of potash was found strewn about beneath the counters. Upon the application of the police the prisoner was remanded till Thursday, an application for bail on the ground of his ill-health being refused, though the magistrates said whatever medical attendance he required would be afforded him.

JOHNSTON, M.P., of Pallykil  _ speaks with some authority on the oran,ze Lodges of Ireland. He reminds lord Salisbui that the non-Episcopalian Irish Protestants are not 'the only organised loyal opinion iii Ire. land. There are over two thousand lodges oi Orangemen, and half of the members in llster are Episcopalians.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A  MUSIC HALL.  A LEAP FROM THE GALLERY.  An extraordinary incident occurred on Tuesdal night in Dan Lowrey' s Music Hall, Dublin. Just at the commencement of the performance of the sisters Groveuor. who came on the stage at about half-past nine, a man named Kenny jumped from the upper gallery into the orchestra, a height of over 30ft, falling on and severely hurting a cornet player named Kennedy. His fall was broken by reason of his coming into contact with the cornet player. and the noise occasioned was so slight that those of the audience who did not actually see the fall were in doubt as to what had occurred. The sisters Grovenor started back horror - stricken, and retired behind the wings. The audience rose to their feet, and in a moment there was danger of a panic, but Mr Lowrey appeared before the scenes and called upon the people to keep their places. The two men were removed from the orchestra, both badly cut about the head. Kenny was taken by the police to College street Police Station, where be was charged with having attempted to commit suicide, and was subsequently conveyed to Mercer's Hospital. Kennedy, the cornet player, who was fully as badly injured as the would be suicide, walked with to the hospital, where the PI which he had received was lance  ecalp wound wed.
