HORRIBLE AGRARIAN MURDER IN THE
COUNTY CLARE.

Intelligence has been received that Alderman Wm.
Sheehy, of Limerick, was brutally murdered at his resi-
dence, near Tulla, in the county Clare, on Monday night.
The head, it is said, was completely severed from the
body, and the house was afterwards set fire to and burnt.
The cause assigned for this diabolical act is that the
deceased alderman had recently served certain eject-
ments. This intelligence has caused much gloom in the
city of Limerick, where the deceased held high posi-
tions, and was very well respected.

AFFECTING SUICIDE THROUGH DISAP-
POINTED LOVE.

On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Harding held an inquest
as the Saracen's Head Hotel, Hanley, on the body of
Adelaide Marlow, 27 years of age, who had committed
suicide by taking oxalic acid the previous day. The
deceased, a fine young woman, occupied a respectable
position in life, and was very highly respected by
a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She
resided with her mother at Etruria Vale, and carried
on business as a dressmaker. For some weeks she
bad been in a depressed state of mind, caused, it
now turns out, by some unpleasantness with her
sweetheart, a respectable young man, named Steele,
to whom she had been engaged for seven years. The
engagement, it appears, was objectionable—though on
what account has not transpired—to Mr. Steele's friends,
which had the effect of inducing him either to break off
the match altogether, or to slight the lady. Whichever
it might have been, the fact preyed upon the mind of
the deceased to an extent which, there can be no doubt,
ultimately induced insanity, and while under its influ-
ence she committed the rash act.

On Friday morning she rose about eight o'clock
and went into the parlour, when her mother presently
heard her crying, and en going thither found her
writing a letter and appearing to be in great trouble.
In reply to her mother, she promised to some to her
in the kitchen in a few minutes. She was heard
crying again shortly afterwards, and her mother went
again to her, receiving the same reply as before.
Presently she came into the kitchen with a letter in
her hand, which she gave to her mother, and then
said, " Oh, mother mother, I have taken poison."
Her mother immediately went to procure assistance,
and sent for a doctor. The deceased lay on the sofa,
and half an hour afterwards died. A paper labelled
" oxalic acid" was afterwards found on the floor, but it
did not bear the name of any chemist, and every effort
since made to ascertain where the poison was procured
has failed. The letter which the deceased gave to her
mother was as follows :—" I feel my time drawing
near. I feel quite reconciled to my fate. I have not
the least desire to live ; but, oh, how hard to die so
young. The only sin I ever committed is loving him
too well. He has ruined me and left me to my
shame, after seven years' courtship. I have been
true to him, God knows I have ; but his stepmother and
sisters have always tried to prejudice his mind against
me, and they are my murderers and him. Look at his
letters, and you will see how he once loved me. But he will
never be happy, for he will always have the brand of
murder—murder on his conscience. I wish you to bury
his likeness with me, and the brooch. Good bye, and
bless you all. A. Marlow:" On the back of the letter was,
"You may show this to any one ; do not give up his let-
ters." In respect to the allusions in this letter, from which
the reader would incline to drawlan inference unfavour-,
able to the character of the deceased's lover, according
to the evidence given at the inquest, there seems to be
no ground for the strong expressions made use of by the
deceased, in the sense in which they would naturally be
interpreted.
A post mortem examination of the body was made by
Mr. Grosvenor, surgeon, who stated that it showed no
symptoms of disease whatever ; and he was of opinion
that death was caused by oxalic acid. The jury returned
a verdict of " Temporary insanity."

The _Daily News says a project is on foot for the
formation of another Marine Insurance Company, the
direction of which, it is proposed, shall consist mainly,
if not entirely, of underwriters.
THE WEATHER AND THE BEES.—Accounts from dif-
ferent parts of the department of the Eure, and espe-
cially the environs of Bernay, say that this year is a very
bad one for bees ; many hives are completely abandoned,
and the others are in such a state of suffering that fears
are entertained that the bees cannot live to the spring.
This failure is ascribed to the cold and rainy weather
having prevented flowers from producing the juice
necessary for the nutrition of bees.
THE FRENCH REPUBLICANS.—GaIignani says :
" Colonel'Charras has written to a journal of Berne, the
ffidgenossieeh Zeitung, to protest against an assertion
made by one of its correspondents, to the effect that
in GeOral de Lamoriciere's pocket-boot, has been
found fotters from Montalembert, Falloux, and
Charras.' TLft colonel declares that since December,
.1857, he has no: had any relations, either direct or
indirect with the gen'.''ral."
GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—SIXTEEN LIVES
SAVED. FLEETWOOD, b`4.turday. This morning,
about 8 o'clock, during a hea gale of wind, with a
the barque Vermont,
very high sea rolling over the lianlC
of Halifax, slipped both her anchm:% in the offing, and
drove before the gale on Barnett's ba'r'k, about three
miles from Fleetwood. The lifeboat belo.'tging to the
National Lifeboat Institution was immediately Launched,
and subsequently taken in tow by a steam tug, which
took her to windward of the ship. After some difficNtY
and considerable skill on the part of the crew, a com-*
munication was effected with the wreck, from which
fifteen men and a pilot were fortunately taken off. They
were safely brought on shore about one o'clock. As
soon as they were landed, the services of the lifeboat
were again called into requisition : but the result of her
proceedings this time has not as yet been reported.
This excellent lifeboat has only been on this important
station about 12 months; but during that period she has
been instrumental in rescuing during very stormy
weather 27 persons from a watery grave, from the
wrecked vessels—Anne Mitchell, of Montrose ; Catharine
of Newry ; the Jane Roper, of Iliverstone ; and the
barque Vermont, of Halifax, as above related. Captain
Wasey, R.N., Inspecting Commander of Coast Guard;
and the coxswain Fox, have on each occasion been off
in the lifeboat.
LYNCH LAW IN ARKANSAS.—FORT SMITH, AR-
KANSAS, Oct. 4.—This afternoon, about three o'clock, a
man named Martin H. Gilliam, alias William Owen,
formerly of Johnstown, Bates county, was hung at this
place for horse stealing, in the presence of a large con-
course of citizens. He was arrested some weeks since,
and an effort made to hang him, during which he
jumped away from the rope, and was shot down while
in the act of making his escape. His wounds were
serious, and medical treatment afforded. As soon as
his injuries would admit of his being removed, he
was taken to the county gaol at Greenwood, whence
he escaped last night, and, to facilitate his flight, stole
another horse, but was re-taken this morning at Van
Buren and returned to this place, where summary
punishment was again determined on.. He was led to a
tree with the fatal noose adjusted round his neck.
Seeing no hope of escape, he confessed his guilt, mani-
festedcontrition for his past deeds, sought forgiveness
at the throne of mercy in a ''liner prayer, and
earnestly called upon those present to be admonished
by the example before them. He was then swung up
and the tragedy was concluded. Scarcely had these
proceedings ended, when another prisoner was brought
into town charged with the same offence. He was
examined in the street, confessed the crime of which he
was accused, and hurried to the fatal spot, and soon
swung by the side of his brother in crime. The second
victim was a Choctaw half-breed, named Shoat. The
bodies will not be taken down till to-morrow. The
citizens have become greatly incensed against horse
thieves, as of late their offences have been bold and
numerous, and the operation of tli. i w on this frontier
is known to be slow and uncertain.—New York Herald.
A DANGEROUS Dusv.—A strange incident has just

occurred, says the Paris Union: A young fernier,
named Jay, of Saint-Cyran, near Meaux, went lately
into a wood to collect leaves of a nut-tree for his oxen.
He began beating down the leaves with a long stick,
and before long was enveloped in a cloud of dust, which
produced' such a violent cough that he was obliged to
return hotrie. His face, hands, and neck soon became
covered with pimples, he had a violent fever, and insup-
portable itching. He tried various remedies, but they
produced no effect, and he was at last obliged to send
for a physician. The latter did all that science could '
suggest, but in a few hours the patient expired. It
turned out that the farmer had disturbed a nest of
the insect, called by the French naturalists, the " Bom-
byx processionnaire," which is very venomous, and
which places its eggs in the midst of a sort of dust.
This dust, which is very volatile, causes ulcerations in
the skin of man, and is most dangerous when it enters
the respiratory organs.
HOLLOWAY'S Pir.r.s.—Diseases of the Warm Climates. Liver
complaints, general debility, gout, and other ailments to
which the inhabitants of India and all eastern countries are
liable, may always be quickly cured when these restorative
remedies are at hand. When the constitution seems breaking
up, the muscular and nervous system completely relaxed, the
appetite gone, and the mind sinking into despondency and
despair, it is never too late, even at the eleventh hour, to
restore the phTsical and mental powers to perfect health and
vigour, if a fair trial be given to these admirable pills. They
are like Medea's celebrated drug, which renewed to old (}son,
King of Theasaly, his vouth and strength. They gently
stimulate the too enfeebled vital organs.
