Fellow Teachers and Children.-
You rather startled me this morning by the very fact of it occurring to you to present me with an Address and Presentation. It requires no such unfeigned expression from you to assure me of your sympathy and respect, and if I have done anything to advance you intellectually or spiritually "unto God be the praise." Accept my gratitude for the kindly expressions for the wellfare (sic) of myself and family, also for the present to Mrs. Hill; and I shall at all times learn with delight of your temporal and spiritual advancement.
Now that we are about to separate, I trust by the Divine favour you all may be enabled to labour to enter into that rest which remains for "God's children," and that when the register of Heaven is unfolded, not one of you may be found wanting.
Affectionately yours,
John Hill.Cavan, 20th Oct., 1878

FIRE IN THE COUNTY MEATH. - Early on Sunday morning fire broke out at M'CANN's corn mills, at Beamond, county Meath, near Drogheda. It occurred through the grinding of seeds, which heated and set fire to the elevators. The loft, as also a portion of an adjoining one in which was some corn, was burnt. The fire was confined and soon put out by the exertions of the people of the place. The damage done was not considerable, but rather slight. The place was uninsured; the remainder of the mill, or the greater part, is insured.
WIFE MURDER IN DERBY. - An inquest was held at Derby on Monday on the body fo a Margaret KENNEDY, wife of a labourer, who died on Saturday night from the effects of injuries inflicted by her husband. It appeared that the deceased came home drunk on Saturday evening. When the husband found her in this state he began to kick her violently. She rushed out of the house, but died in about two hours from loss of blood. The inquest was adjourned until Tuesday.
A CENTENARIAN J.P.
Mr. Henry BALDWIN FOOTT, the only magistrate in the United Kingdom who had passed the extraordinary age of 100 years, died on Saturday last at Cunigacunna castle, in the county of Cork. Some months since Mr. Foott celebrated the centenary of his birth-day, and it was then stated that up to a very short period before he had enjoyed excellent health, and been an active magistrate. Recent research has shown that the number of cases in which persons have reached the age of 100 years is exceedingly small. As Mr. Foott was a gentleman of considerable landed property, there could have been no doubts as to his age, which must have appeared by many legal documents.
WILL OF THE LATE JUDGE KEOGH.
The will of the late Mr. Justice Keogh has been proved by the executors, Captain Henry KEOGH, R.M., brother, and Mr. David FERGUSON, solicitor, and the Registrar to the late judge. The personalty was sworn under £12,000. The bequests are entirely of a personal and family nature.
WILL OF THE LATE EARL OF LEITRIM.
The will of the late Earl of Leitrim has been lodged in the Probate Court by the executors. The assets of his lordship are sworn to be under £200,000. The deceased left all his real and personal estate to Colonel CLEMENTSW for life, with remainder to his issue. And I the event of Colonel Clements failing issue the property should go to Mr. John MADDEN, of Hilltown Park, Clones, who is married to his niece, and his children in succession. The bequests in the will were only a few, amounting to about £2,500. The present Earl of Leitrim, who was not left anything, has entered a caveat against the will being proved.
It is stated that the Pope desiring to nominate to the Archbishopric of Dublin a prelate whose appointment would be well received by the British Government, will cause the views of the British Cabinet on the subject to be confidentially ascertained.
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE IN THE ATHLONE MILITARY BARRACKS.
A SOLDIER STABBED TO DEATH.
Athlone, Tuesday.
This morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, an occurrence of a melancholy character, and which resulted in the death of a soldier of the 95th Regiment, named Abraham DAWES, occurred in the military barracks in this town. A boy named James BURKE, in the employment of Mr. John PARKINSON, baker, was delivering bread in the officers' mess kitchen, as he was wont to do daily, his master having the contract for the supply of bread to the barracks. The boy being of a forward turn, and fond of conversation, he and the soldiers in the kitchen indulged in some sport on the occasion of his visits. This morning Dawes, it appears, irritated the boy by coupling his name with some female, and followed up the jest by striking him on the face with a towel. Burke lifted a bread knife which was lying on the table and threatened the soldier with it if he did not stop annoying him. He flourished the knife in his hand, and, in doing so, the blade left the handle and penetrated the soldier's breast. He was in his trousers and shirt at the time, the only attire worn by men on duty in the cooking kitchen. After receiving the wound he went outside and said to his comrades the baker's boy had stabbed him with a knife. They replied that they were sure it would not signify, and for him to go to hospital, which was about 100 yards distant, and get the wound dressed. He had just entered the hospital gate when he fell. He was then carried into the hospital, and died in about five minutes. The instrument was a French cooking knife. The blade entered the left breast between the ribs and penetrated about two inches. There was very little external bleeding, but death resulted from internal hemorrhage. The deceased being in good fleshy condition, his wound did not remain open which accounted for the outward bleeding not being so great as might be expected. Burke was afterwards given into the custody of the police, and was lodged in Connaught-street barrack by Head-Constable SEARS. It is right to state that he showed deep distress after the sad occurrence. The deceased, who was only 19 years of age, was a native of Derbyshire, England, and had only been about 18 months in the service.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE IN GALWAY.
Galway, Monday.
At the Petty Sessions this day the court was crowded to excess. Pierce JOYCE, Esq., D.L., presided. The other magistrates on the bench were: E. E. BURKE, Thomas M. PERSSE, John H. BLAKE, Michael HENNESSY, Henry PALMER, J. V. BROWNE, M.D.; Benjamin Hill, R.M., Esqrs; and Sir Valentine BLAKE, Bart. The public excitement was occasioned by the fact that Mr. J. D. DONELAN, Mrs. DONELAN, and a shop assistant in Mr. Donelan's employment were summoned on a charge of alleged conspiracy. The case had been adjourned on the application of Mr. Donelan last court-day. This day, on the sitting of the court, Mr. Donelan again applied on affidavit for another adjournment, as Mr. CONCANNON, solicitor, whom he had engaged to defend his case, could not be present. The Bench ruled that as Mr. Donelan had sufficient time to obtain professional assistance the case should proceed. Mr. Donelan is father of Mrs. MULLARKEY, who was tried at the last March assizes, and acquitted, for the alleged poisoning of her late husband, Mr. Mullarkey, of Dunmore, and who has recently been married in England to Mr. Henry J. BLAKE, of Glenloe, ex-high sheriff of Galway. The charge of conspiracy against the defendants consisted in that they incited and gave drink to four "roughs" to beat and assault Mr. Michael J. BLAKE, of Glenloe, brother of Mr. Henry J. Blake. Michael COSTELLOE, Michael MELIA, and James M'DONNELL, were examined by Mr. French HENDERSON, solicitor, who, with Mr. JENNINGS, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and proved that on the 19th October they got drink at Mr. Donelan's, and that LAFFEY had gone for them to bring them there, and provided them with weapons - a turnscrew and a carriage wrench - to attack Mr. Blake and Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY, and that they did pursue him, for which they were prosecuted and bound to the peace. Mr. Donelan conducted the defence himself, and cross-examined the witnesses at great length. He also produced several witnesses to prove a rebutting case. The bench decided to comit (sic) Mr. Donlan and Laffey for trial to the next assizes. Bail was accepted in both cases, and the charge against Mrs. Donelan was dismissed.

A witness for the prosecution said he heard Farrell say that Donohoe had taken the money.

For permitting three heifers, which had been confined in the next house to where the bullock was ill, to wander along the public road.
Constable Judge proved the case.
Mr. Armstrong said defendant was from home and his son was left in charge of the cattle; they broke out on him; they were only a few minutes on the road.
Constable Judge said the bullock was ordered to be slaughtered and buried; he does not know if the orders of the Inspector were carried out; he heard they stoned the animal to death; policemen are prohibited by the rules of the force from being present to see the animals killed; Mrs. Shiels sent for him to see the hold they had dug for the bullock; he saw it and it was only eighteen inches deep; he did not go back again to see if they had made it six feet.
Mr. Philip SMITH, of Derrygarra, said defendant’s residence adjoined his farm, and it would be a serious matter if the disease would be allowed to extend; defendant’s heifers were fully twenty minutes on the road; defendant had removed his dungheap since his place was declared to be “infected,” although the Act of Parliament strictly prohibited the like; the animals allowed on the road were kept quite convenient to the sick bullock.
Mr. Armstrong denied that the bullocks had been stoned to death. As this was the first case under the Act he hoped they would deal mercifully with his client, who acted in ignorance of the law.
Mr. Sanderson said it would be a very serious matter if the disease would be allowed to spread, as two-thirds of the value of the animals slaughtered would be paid by the rate-payers of the union.
After some consultation their Worships decided upon inflicting a fine of £10.
Mr. Armstrong hoped the Constabulary would not prosecute Mr. Sheils for removing the dung.
Mr. Thompson said the magistrates would make no rule in the matter.

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERIES IN AMERICA.
Cork, Saturday.
The American papers received in Cork on Saturday give particulars of two extraordinary robberies which had been effected in New York. One was the robbery of the Manhattan Savings Bank, already briefly telegraphed, and the other was the robbery at the residence of a lady named Mrs. Clarence OGDEN, in Fifth-street. Mrs. Ogden keeps a fashionable boarding house, and about 20 boarders live in the house. Notwithstanding the large number of occupants, a robbery of great daring was effected on the night of the 29th inst. Mrs. Ogden’s apartments on the ground floor were entered by two men shortly after 11. Mrs. Ogden was awakened by the noise, but she was immediately seized, and her face was covered with a towel permeated with chloroform. She struggled until she became unconscious. In the morning it was found the robbers had decamped with 800 dols in money and two valuable diamond rings taken from Mrs. Ogden’s hand. The robbers were masked. The robbery of the Manhattan Bank was one of the most daring and well planned robberies ever committed in the States. Nearly three million dollars in cash and sureties were removed from the strong room of the bank on the morning of Sunday the 27th. The robbers who were masked, must have measured the time exactly between the departure of the night watchman and the opening on Sunday morning of a barber’s shop close by, as the only safe interval in which to do any hammering without attracting attention. The burglars carried away 2,747,700 dollars in bonds and 11,000 dols. in cash. The numbers of the bonds are known, and it is not believed the robbers will profit largely from the crime, beyond the amount of the cash extracted. The janitor of the bank, who, with his wife and mother-in-law were surprised by the robbers, and compelled, under threats, to give up the keys, states that a few minutes pas six he was aroused by a scream from his mother-in-law, and the next thing was that five or six men entered the room. Their faces were covered with handkerchiefs. He and the woman were seized and handcuffed, a man being placed in charge of each, with a revolver in hand, and compelled them through threats of shooting them to keep quiet. Another of the gang then sat down before the janitor and compelled him, under threats, not only to give up the keys, but to surrender the secrets of the combinations of opening the vault. Three or four of the men then disappeared, and remained absent three hours. Shortly after nine-o’clock one of those below came up stairs and whispered to those in the room, after which the latter left, first locking the door. The janitor soon afterwards learned that the robbers had left and gave the alarm. It was found the out door of the vault was opened. The safe had been forced by means of jimmies and a powerful sledge hammer. There were left behind a number of burglar’s implements, which bore evidence of severe usage. It seems curious that though the owner of the barber’s shop was up that Sunday morning at 6:35, and opened his place of business, nothing had attracted his attention in the bank. At latest accounts no trace of the robbery had been discovered by the police.

Portadown, Saturday.
A few days ago Sir William VERNER was waited upon by a number of gentlemen representing the tenant farmer interest for the purpose of requesting him to allow himself to be put forward as a candidate at the next election. The deputation was graciously received, and Sir William at once promised to stand in the tenant-right interest. A short time previous to this the Grand Lodge of the County Armagh met in solemn conclave, and passed a resolution which expressed the determination of the Orangemen of the county to stand by Mr. E. W. VERNER, the present member. The intention of Sir William Verner to oppose his uncle created great consternation in the Orange ranks, and accordingly a deputation, headed by Major BLACKER, J.P., D.L.; Rev. Thomas ELLIS, Killylea; Mr. Thomas G. PEEL (coroner), Rev. C. H. IRVINE, and several other prominent Orangemen waited upon Sir William yesterday, at Churchill, for the purpose of inducing him to forego his intention. Great was the surprise of the gentlemen to find the representatives of the press present. They informed Mr. CROSLEE (Sir William’s agent) that they desired the interview to be private, but he (Mr. Crosslee) informed them, by direction of Sir William, that as the previous deputation had been received publicly, he did not see why he should treat the present one differently. The deputation withdrew, refusing Sir William’s invitation to luncheon.
SHOCKING SUICIDE NEAR GILFORD. – On Sunday last, a woman named GREENFIELD, the wife of a foreman employed in one of the Gilford mills, while on a visit to a neighbour’s house in the townland of Kernan, committed suicide by throwin (sic) herself into a well, thirty feet deep in which she was drowned.
On Thursday evening, at, it is supposed, about seven o’clock, a carpenter named John LARKIN was killed near Lisdoonvarna by a fall from a bicycle. Death was caused by the sharp end of a file which he carried in his pocket entering the groin and wounding the famoral (sic) artery. No one was near to help, and the poor fellow died on the road side. The remains were
An awfully sudden death occurred in the Lady-lane police station, in Waterford, on Sunday morning. Mounted Sub-constable Charles CALLAN, who was on duty on Saturday evening, retired to bed at his usual hour in good health. On Sunday morning, about five o’clock, one of his room mates who heard him muter strangely, and thought he was labouring under a fit, arose, and struck a light. As soon as he had done so Callon sat upright in his bed, and immediately fell headlong on the floor, exclaiming, “I am dying.” When lifted he was dead. Death is attributed to heart disease.
"A good story is told, as a hint to the Glasgow detectives in their search for the absconded bank director. Not long since, it is said, a celebrated criminal escaped from Ireland in a ventilated coffin. The coffin was driven in a hearse to the steamer, and the detectives, who were closely examining every passenger on board, actually helped to place the coffin in the ship, little thinking it contained the object of their search."
