It appears from the evidence adduced at the coroner's inquest that the girl, with her mother, was returning from Sunday School, and was about to pass over a plank laid across a stream where a bridge is being erected. The mother crossed over, and, the girl being timorous, the boy who was on the far side went over to meet her and take her hand. The plank, being a fourteen-foot one, had a spring in the centre, and the girl became nervous when she got so far, while the boy, who wished to encourage her, commenced swaying to and fro upon it. She grasped at him and lost her balance' he caught at her and was dragged into the stream, which was rapid in the place. Though there were only two feet of water in the spot both lost their lives, having been carried away by the stream into a depth of four feet, which was at hand. The! frantic mother rushed to save her child, but was withheld from immediate destruction by some persons standing near. A man named KEOGHEY, who was present, made every effort to save one or both but unfortunately without success. What makes the think more melancholy is that a pass across which horses could be brought was not more than five or six perches distant from the plank. Wishing to save the journey to it, two lives were lost. ____________________________________________________________ GALLAGHER IN CAVAN.-- Is not the heading enough? Need we invite our readers to attend upon him tomorrow evening, when he is to take from the budget of his inimitably drollery for their amusement? It is a long time since we had him before in Cavan, but we are all old enough to remember how he amused us when we had him last; and those who never heard him, know him by his fame, which is world-wide. Mr. Gallagher may be expected in Mullingar in the course of a few days. __________________________________________________________ THE MILITIA.-- There is no word of the removal of this force as yet, and it may be hoped that they will be left to winter here. The General of the district is to be here on tomorrow (Friday) to inspect them. __________________________________________________________ HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.-- As Miss Charlotte Hinds of Tubberlion Duffin, near Ballyconnell, in this county, was coming home on a jaunting car, from the market of that town, on Friday the 12th inst., she was set upon by two ruffians, in the avenue leading to her own house, and after being severely beaten on the head with sticks, and her thumb, forefinger and wrist being broken, as she put up her hand to save herself, two pistol bullets were lodged in her skull. She was living when the last account reached us, but her medical attendants declare that her recover is hopeless. At intervals she has been insensible, but she was able to swear against, at least one of the two villains, named Pat. BANNON, a deserter, we have heard, from the Cavan Militia. The servant who drove her, however, declares that the parties are completely unknown to him. The perpetrators, whoever they were, are as yet at large, though the Lord Lieutenant has offered a reward of £100 for an arrest, payable on con! viction. Everything goes ... now that the dreadful offence had an agrarian........... Miss Hinds dispossessed some parties in ........ to manage their farms herself, and she had ....... under ejectments pending for the coming sessions. She was warned that her life would be taken, more than a; year ago, and had damages off the county for salacious burning of some property of hers, at last spring (?) assizes for this county. But there is no reason whatever for connecting the rest of our population with the atrocious act' everywhere it was heard of with feelings of unmitigated horror, not with those of exultation, as some correspondents of the Dublin ........ with a malice hardly less than that of the ............ in heart, and we fear, in act, have written...... Surely a county is not to be stigmatized because it retains(?) black-guards. Does this need proof? One veracious fellow states that it is publicly known that murders by wholesale are to be perpetrated this.....! ..... We utterly deny that such a thing is public.............. talked of. Another statesman in embryo recommends to the government to take the collection of rents into their hands and to eject every soul off the .......... where a murder has been committed! Poor fellow! IT is to be feared that his madness is a ............... one. To find the guilty punish the innocent; of course they could not prove for themselves their non-complicity, nor can another do this for them since they might be connected with the matter unknown to every one in the kingdom. What, if a murder was committed in a townland wholly in the hands of the landlord, should he be ejected out of his fee-simple. The character of a newspaper, in which such idiosyncrasies are inserted without repudiation, stands wonderfully committed. Let every energy be employed in find out the perpetrators, but, for every sake, let no ........... be paid to the diplomacy of the madhouse. _______________________________ CAVAN UNION TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION ON SATURDAY, the 25th instant, at TWELVE O'CLOCK, A Large Quantity of EXCELLENT MANGEL WURTZEL, BY THE TON, On the Workhouse Premises. By Order, BLAYNEY GRIER, Clerk of the Union. Board Room, 16th Oct. 1855. _______________________________ OBITUARY. It grieves us deeply that we have to record this day the death of John Baptist SMITH, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, of 4, Garden Court, Temple, London. The melancholy event took place at the residence of his brother, Philip SMYTH, Esq. (transcriber's note - the two spellings of SMITH/SMYTH are exactly as they were in the newspaper), Carrickvilla, Stradone, at three o'clock on Wednesday, the 10th instant, and is as much deplored by all, who knew the deceased, as it was untimely, he being yet in the very prime of life, having only attained his 27th year. Mr. SMYTH was a member of the English Bar, and during the few years of his forensic career gave ample proof of the possession of powers, which must have distinguished him in after life. Alas, they are now extinguished, but such is life -- young hopes blasted, young promise unfulfilled. Living in England, he was to the heart's core an Irishman, and in him his country has lost a true, devoted and most eloquent son. A feeling of u! niversal sorrow prevailed throughout the neighborhood where he died, from the hour of his death to that of his interment, and he was accompanied to his last resting place on Friday by as large and respectable an assemblage as ever met in the county on a similar occasion. If genuine and largely expressed sympathy with them in their distress could console his afflicted relatives, they have had and still have consolation, indeed. _______________________________________________ County Cavan Newspapers Transcription Project
