SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PEDEE T &lAN PERFO INANCE.—Yaltadlly s young man. aped
about 20, named Hugh Russell (with whose feats in Cork sad
Clonmel our readers are already acquainted). succeeded in accom-
plishing a walk of 102 miles in 24 successive hours. He staved
precisely at two o'clock on Thursday, on a measured quarter of a
mile on the Canal, and accomplished the first mile in nine minutes,
the second in nine and a half. At the termination of the first hour
from starting he had walked six miles and a quarter. At 27 Iv-
mates to two yesterday he had accomplished his task, apparent:y
with much ease to himself, within the given time, having 27 tr-
nutes to spare. The crowd assembled to witness this extraordinary
performance was very great, and &Worded him much inconveniene.
from pressing too closely on him. Immediately after having pc-
formed the business, they chaired him to his lodgings on Arthur-
quay. We understand, with pleasure, that a handsome subscr4-
00f1 was raised for hint by some respectable gentlemen on the spr,
and we hope that it will be further increased. He promises. if r -
couraged, to go 1,000 miles in 1,000 successive hours.—Lister.

BRUTAL OUTRAGE.—On Friday night last, the horn
of a respectable farmer named Thomas Hickson, it
Nantenant, was broken into by a lawless handitn.
Himself and his wife were severely beaten, one of the
ruffians having stabbed her with a bayonet, and 13
daughter, a girl of 17, taken away. 'iii Monday Lo.
Providence conducted the Very Rev. Mr. *Namara,
R.C. Dean of this Diocese, to the mountains of Cloulehat3,
to attend a dying person, and on his return he was applied
to by a man named Madigan, to whose house the young
girl (after having been cruelly dragged from house to
house the two receding nights) had been brought the
night before. The Dean, assisted by the Niece, stationed
at Ballyhaliill, brought her to his own house, and on Tues-
day sent to her father, who came, but was afraid to take ler
home without an escort, in consequence of the fellow who
had taken her away, having a party on the roads watching
to get her again into his power. Thursday, Constable
Gardiner and a party of military conveyed her to he.r
father's house.—lriA Ob..errer.
