A few days since Mr. Ralph COPELAND, accompanied by John GRAHAM, Esq., both of Enniskillen, went to Black Lion, county Cavan, for the purpose of enjoying a shooting excursion. On arriving at the house of Mr. COPELAND's brother where they intended stopping, the driver put the horse and cushions of the car into the cow house, and shortly after lit his pipe. When he had smoked for some time, he left the premises; but unfortunately a spark had fallen from the pipe which originated a fire, and before the fact became known his own horse, and a fine cow which was in the house, were suffocated. The night being exceedingly stormy, the flames rapidly progressed, and effected considerable damage in a store-house adjoining. Indeed it is generally supposed that a few minutes longer would have endangered the whole village. The building was insured up to the latter end of September last, when the policy was let expire.--Armagh Guardian. On Wednesday last an inquest was held on the body of a woman named Catherine DORAN, at Bealnamulla, near Athboy (Roscommon side.)
