farmer, was murdered at Deerpark. near Drum-
treen, m this county, by a fellow who gave him a
blow of • spade in the head ; the murderer, Juhn
Connell. absconded. in the presence of some hun-
dreds, but it is hoped he will be shortly brought to
justice. as the police are most active in the pursust.
Friday alight, a patty of the 42d Highlanders,
stationed at Ilruree, in this county, were called to
quell a riot in • public-house; un approaching it,
the serjeant Hilliard) followed a man
• who was pointed out to hiin as the principal in the

him to the ground; the ruffian stamped on the
body. and certainly inevitable death would have
followed, hat fortanstely ensign Clarke and cor-

Gore, who with two of his companions, Leary and
