NI URDEROI's Arracx.—On Monday night another of
those acts (of Lee not of unfrequent °commuter, and which
are 7iauder in the history of our county for the last few
pars was committed on the person of a man named Iles-
nett, who, as he was returning to Duneerrin from Money-
gall, was woylaid at a place called Loaghane, by three men,
who beat hire in a most inhuman and unmerciful manner,
mad indicted a seven fracture on his skull, from the effect,
Id which no hopes are entertained of his recovery. Three
men arrested by Constable reimill, of the Montygall sta-
tion, have kern identified by llassett, and are now fully
committed to stand their trial. For the last few years
peace and quiet, tionspuatively speaking, prevailed, tut
now, with the return of prosperity, when a gleans of hope
lightens the horizon of adversity, we seem to be merging
into the revolting scenes of bygone days, when blood covered
the face of the fertile boil, and the earth, groaning beneath
the load of sin, refuted to yield her increase. The heart
sickens to revert to such subjects, the more so became thr
w,•w are apparently about to witness such scenes regaip,
