The Hobart “ Mercury” reports the death of Mr George Arnold, formerly the Grand Chief Templar of Tasmania For thi-ty three years he drank nothing but water, declining even a cup of tea or coffee. The news of Carey’s death appears to have inspired unusual vigor among the Landleaguers, and in consequence the jurors who decided in the Phoenix Park trials, and the leading officials of the Court, are protected by a large staff of constabulary.
