MYSTERIOUS DEATH NEAR SWATERAGH. - James CRILLY, a widower, 65 years of age, residing at Gortade, near Crosskeys, died on the 10th instant under very mysterious circumstances. It appears that he lived with his family, which consists of four, namely, Matilda, Eliza, Lawrence, and Robert, and for some time past has been confined to bed. The injuries found on his person leave no room to doubt that death was accelerated by violence. From the evidence given by Dr. MAGOWAN, of Maghera, at the inquest, it would appear that deceased had no less than twenty-three wounds on his body. Some of these were of recent date, and the remainder apparently inflicted some three weeks ago. Six of these were of such a character as would be produced by the prongs of a grape, and the remainder were contused wounds. A post-mortem examination was made by Dr. Magowan and Dr. Henry, and nothing was found in his stomach to indicate that he had been poisoned. The circumstances connected with the occurrence were immediately investigated by Mr. KELLY, S.I., of this district, and has resulted in the family whose names have been mentioned above being arrested, and the necessary informations sworn before Mr. J. J. CLARKE, J.P., and Mr. R. W. FORREST, J.P. The prisoners have been remanded to Magherafelt Bridewell for eight days. - Correspondent of Coleraine Constitution.

MAJOR MALAN writes from France:- "Two days ago, in a mining district in the centre of France, I preached to an assembly of some 200 miners and their wives. They had left their work at four o'clock. At six they were washed and cleanly dressed, and many men and women stood for an hour and a half, and listened most attentively to the testimony of Jesus. Not many months ago these were all ignorant Romanists. Many now rejoice in the knowledge of salvation. In many parts of France the people invite the Protestant pastors to preach the Gospel to them. This country needs the prayers and help of English Christians."

CAPTURE OF A "SEA ELEPHANT" AT WARRENSPOINT. - In the house of Mr. John KING, birdstuffer, of Warrenpoint, there is at present to be seen alive a remarkable-looking creature, which was caught in the sea a few days ago at the "Point." The animal is one foot in length, of a light flesh colour, has four legs, "feelers," and a trunk, the general appearance being somewhat similar to a young elephant. A peculiar characteristic of the creature is that it spouts a small stream of water out of each of its ears. - Newry Telegraph.

DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.
Mrs. Rosa BRADY, died at the residence of her son, in Mew York, on the 8th instant, at the age of 103. Mrs. Brady was born in the county of Cavan in 1774, and during the early part of her life she resided in the parish of Lavey in this county. At the age of 20 she married Patrick Brady, and had several children, three of whom survive. Three of her children emigrated to the United States in 1845, and in 1852 they succeeded in inducing the old lady - she was then 78 years old - to join them, her husband having died in the interval. Since then Mrs. Brady has continued to reside in New York. During the last four or five years the old lady had relapsed into a sort of second childhood, but previous to that she used to entertain her friends with reminiscences of the revolutionary attempts in Ireland during 1798 and 1803. Mrs. Brady leaves three sons, 13 grand-children, and five great-grand-children.
SPELLING BEE.
At the Billis Day Schools, Virginia (belonging to Mrs. Drummond DUNLOP), a Spelling Bee was held on the 18th inst. There were a large number of children present, about twenty of whom competed for three prizes, given by Mrs. PEYTON. They all did well; but after a long struggle their number was reduced to five, whose spelling was so excellent that, when in the end it was decided who were to get the three prizes, the Rev Mr. ELLIOTT (Rector of Monterconnaught who kindly conducted the Spelling Bee) insisted upon himself giving two supplemental premiums. The successful competitors were Phoebe MULLIGAN, 1st prize; Lizzie WILSON, 2nd prize; Kate WILSON, 3 rd prize; Isabella SPINKS and Sarah M'ILWAINE, supplemental premiums.
The master, Mr. Henry DIOLIN, and the mistress, Miss CANDLER, deserve credit for the way they are working up these schools since they have become the teachers. A hymn having been sung, and prayer offered up by the Incumbent, the Rev. W. C. PEYTON, the schools were closed for the day.
TIPPERARY ELECTION.
Mr. KENNEDY, J.P., Cavan, has addressed the following letter to the Editor of the Freeman.
Sir - It is with sincere regret I learn that disunion still exists in the ranks of the noble constituency of Tipperary. We in the central North have regarded the pending election with the utmost concern, for we cannot conceal the fact that in its result some of our most previous interests are involved - our right of self-government, readjustment of the land laws, religious education, and other measures alike vital to the peace as they are to the prosperity of our native land, as against a line of policy which at this juncture is as inopportune as it is chimerical.
Edmund Dwyer GRAY, one of Ireland's ablest sons would reflect credit on any constituency fortunate enough to be represented by him.
I deny the right of any small section of a people to designate themselves National. It is Dwyer Gray who in the true sense of the term is a Nationalist; he has proved himself to be one by his untiring and fearless efforts to obtain for us our just rights; it is he who by his powerful advocacy in the cause of Home Rule, Land Reform, and Religious Education has done more towards making "Ireland a nation" than the factious opposition which has fruitlessly endeavoured to create and foster dissension in our midst.
This election should not be allowed to cost Mr. Gray one shilling. I feel strongly that he will not confine his representation to any one county or province, but that he will represent the National feeling of our country; and I regarding him so, will consider myself one of his constituents, and beg to forward my subscription towards his election expenses.
