A. N.S.W. Tragedy, A terrible tragedy was reported in Sydney from Tamworth on the 4th inst., a publican at Moore creek, namedKennahan, being shot through the head by hia stepson, Arthur Ooulton, aged 19. Kennahan, it is alleged, ruined his stepdaughter, Ooultonjs sister, and Ooulton demanded that provision should be made for. the girl, which Kennahan refused. Ooulton then shot his stepfather through the head. Ooulton surrendered himself to the police, and Kennahan died in a few hours, A Grateful Client. —Mr William Pearson, Q.C., became possessed of a large fortune in a somewhat curious fashion. It was his lot to plead the cause of a footman in a will case. The footman had been for many years the trueted servant of two maiden sisters. On their death they bequeathed the whele of their property, which was considerable, to the footman. The friends contested the will, on the ground that it was made under “ undue influence." Iho footman won the day, thanks largely to the great efforts made on bis behalf by Mr Pearson. The suocessful client was most grateful for his counsel’s services, and up to bis death maintained a constant intercourse with Mr Pearson, who was surprised to find himself constituted the sole heir. It is rare, indeed, that a lawyer by saving a cause secures a fortune. The Dfiorrawi; in N.S.W. —A Wiloannia telegram states that reports from the district west of Darling show that some squatters are unable to get their stock in for shearing, owing to the weakness of the sheep from drought. At some stations there is not enough water to last a month, but along the Tibooburra route the Government tanks have from four to six months’ supply. It may safely be said that there will be no lambs this season west of the Darling, and no wool is going to port, all of it beug stored until rain comes. Tory gloomy reports have been received from Inverell with regard to the effect of the drought on the country about the river Barwon. The prolonged dry weather has had most disastrous effects on stock, and dead sheep and cattle are lying about in *ll directions, while the water holes are filled with the dead bodies of sheep which were too weak to extricate themselves from the mud. Holloway’S Fills and Ointment.—Though it is impossible, iu this climate of changing temperature, to prevent ill-health altogether, yet its form and frepuenoy may be much mitigated by the early adoption of remedial measures. When hoarseness, cough, thick breathing, and the attending slight fever indicate irritation of the throat or chest, Holloway’s Ointment should he rubbed upon these parts without delay, and his Fills taken in appropriate doses, to promote its curative action. No catarrhs or sore throats can resist these remedies. Printed directions envelope every package of Holloway’s medicaments, which are suited to all ages and conditions, and to every ordinary disease to which humanity is liable.
