DEATH FROM EXPOSURE TO COLD. - On Tuesday a farmer named William M'CRACKON, residing at Cloughogue, near Aboghill, who had been in Ballymens that day, returned to his home somewhat under the influence of drink. He proceeded to visit an adjoining farmer, named WEIR, contrary to the wish of his friends. Whilst at Mr. Weir's, he partook of more drink, and left his house, according to the evidence of Mr. Weir, perfectly able to go home, about twelve o'clock at night. Nothing more was known of him until the next morning, when he was found some twenty perches from Mr. Weir's house, lying in a bog, and quite insensible. He was at once carried to the nearest house, and attended to by Dr. CHESNUTT, of Aboghill, but he never rallied, and died next day. At an inquest, held on Friday afternoon by Ir. TAGGART, the foregoing facts were testified to, and the jury returned a verdict of death from exposure to cold. HORRIBLE DEATH. - An accident of an extremely melancholy character occurred at Galway on Saturday at the Bag Factory, Earl's Island, whereby a youth named Peter MOLONEY, about 14 years old, came by an awful death. He was engaged in clearing away the bobbins from the weavers, and bringing them to a large box at the end of the establishment. In passing by the finishing carding machine, at which two girls were employed, it is supposed he stopped while passing at the back of it, through some inquisitiveness to inspect the machinery, and being caught between the stripper worker and cylinder, he was dragged in, and ground to atoms, not a recognizable portion remaining but a piece of one leg. He was not observed until the girls employed at the machine went to the see the case of its stopping. NOTICE OF REMOVAL. W. H.
