An Irish farmer named Leath, living neat Eathbone, Lord Kenmare'a property, was killed by a band of armed men on October sth for paying his rent. The. same day a man carting some Boycotted oats, in the pariah of Doon, county Tipperary, was mortally wounded. bingham, a landlord, was fired at while riding near Errie, by a mau disgniaed in woman's clothing.

Some attention ie elicited in financial and - commercial circles in San Francisco by tha treasure drift from Australia and New Zealand there.

Guiteau, the assassin, was arraigned on the - 14th, and pleaded Not Guilty to a charge of murdering James A . Garfield. He Beemod broken down in health and uncared for in person, being shabbily dre-sed. The line of defence will be— (l) hereditary inaauity ; and (2), malpractices on the part of physicians in attendance on the murdered man. The trial is fixed for the 7th November. While Guitean was in coutt, a man named Berthean, . evidently intoxicated, Bought to borrow a pist'-l to shoot him. Gniteau has be«n victimised by a stenographer to whom he gava ' notes of bin life, to be published in a pamphlet form, the proceeds to defray the expenses of his defence. Instead of doing thia, the Btenograper sold the notes to the New York Herald and pooketed the money received. Facts in regard to the infernal machines fonnd on" board British steamers recently have been ferreted out by the Secret Service Agents of tho United States, and are now made public. Ihe scheme, which was a clever plot as revealed, shows that an IrUh-

man named Foylo, a saloon keeper at Philadelphia, to make a rise, caused the manu- ' facturo of infernal machines by Patrick j Cro.ve, of ProTia, and then turnod them over to O'Donovan Rossa. Wh«m the time was ripe, Foyle began negotiations with the British Consul at New York, and received 10,000 dollars for information leading to the discovery made in the docks at Livoipool. He has fled from the Un'ted States with his booty, and no one knows his whf-reabouts. Crowe and Rossa have been ostracised from tho Irißh Nationalist Society. The Pall Mall Gazetto sketches a draft Land Bill for England, which has finally been considered by a special committee of the Farmera' Alliance. The Bill aims at establishing complete security for the capital of farmers, and immunity from capricious eviction ; the rights of tenant to sell his improvements in open market, with provision that the landlord mast accept as tenant for seven yoars, and at the same rent as the outgoing tenant, the person who purchases. The Bill aIBO aims at the creation of a Land Court in every district, for the settlement of qnestions concerning rent and all disputes Between landlord and tenant. The Gazette thinks the Bill suggestive, and says if' the draft is supported by the majority ot farmers throughout the country, and is vigorously used as a means of agitating for reform, tho day when Parliament must admit the urgency . for an English Land Bill is not far off.
