THE NAREOW ESCAPES OF MR FOESTER.
It will g-o far towards vindicating Mr Forstcr that he was the first marked out tor the assassins' knife. The witness Carey described how both the Chief Secretary and Lord Cowper had been sing-led out for "removal," as it was euphemisticulty called ; the latter was to have been shot from an empty house, and the lormer only escaped death on some three or four occasions by tho most trivial accidents. Kven the very day he finally left Dublin a party of assassins were looking for him in the train, a*- d it was bv the merest accident that he had gone to make some purchase, leaving his wife to look after the luggage and things in the carriage. Mr Forster, on rising- the other night in the House, was received by all parties with loud and general cheering, and it must be a deep satisfaction to him to feel that is merits are so cordially recognised. The centre of the assassination company is a scoundrel called by Carey " Number One," and the police are now -it is understood engaged in strenuous efforts to spot the individual alluded to. He is believed to an Irish Amesican, formerly serving in the Federal Arm}'. — I-.xchange.
