OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY-SHOCKING
. MURDER.

The Tipperary Vindicator contains the following ap-
-1 palling narrative:--
" NENAGH, DEC. s.—We are deeply grieved to say
that an unprovoked and most inhuman murder was per-
petrated on Wednesday night, at Longhorns, between
Nenagh and Borrisokane, on the person of a poor man
of the name of Hanley, who sold a pig that day in
Borris, for the price of which his diabolical assailants
attacked him. His house was entered soon after night-
fall. He had lodged the price of his pig in Borris, and
the monsters being defeated 'in their object, fell upon
the defenceless victim of their hellish malice, and lite-
rally beat his head to a jelly. The poor man resisted
the robbers with all his might ; he broke a spade handle
on the head of one of the villains, who was carried off,
it is supposed, dead, in the arms of his comrades. An
inquest was yesterday held, and a verdict of wilful
murder returned.

" Since the above was put in type we have been in-
formed that two men, of the names of Gaynor and
Heffernan, have been arrested and lodged in the county
gaol on the above charge.
" The house of a man of the name of Brien was at-
tacked at Barbaha on Thursday night. o.le of the
assailants was entering through a window, when Brien,
who was waitinz inside, took up a scythe, and making a
desperate stroke with it across the head of the person
entering, almost severed, it is thought, his head from his
body. Blood was traced yesterday near the river.
" Wednesday.night the house of. John Hogan, near
Annaghbeg, was attacked by some armed men, who
fired two shots into the house, and served Hogan with a
threatening notice, that if a line of road in that district
was not changed, he would suffer! The steward of the
line resides in the house.

" On the same evening as John Grace, of the same
parish, Monsea, was proceeding near the cross of Rich-
mond, three fellows jumped from behind a ditch, seized
him, and desired him to deliver his arms. Haiing
searched Hogan, they found no arms, but robbed him of
what money he had, his temperance medal, &c.
" James Grace's haggard, near Annaghbeg, was en-
tered on Tuesday night, anal seventy stone of wheat was
threshed out deliberately, and taken away."
ROSCREA.—A sale of articles seized for rent due to
Mr. O'Grady, of Dublin, was advertised for Friday, the
27th of November last, at Gratin, between Roscrea and
Templemore, where a very large mob assembled.
Several of them were armed and fired shots; the sale
was subsequently relinquished, as the country people are
determined to resist the payment of rent in any shape,
and these small farmers, who are well able to pay, are
the principals in those proceedings. Arms and ammuni-
tion are tow so easily procured, that all the lawless
ruffians in this part of the country are well supplied.—

Leinster Express.
PURCHASE OF FIRE-ARMS —The Tipperary Free
Press of this day sa3s:—" The purchase of tire-arms in
this town by the country people, who manifest the
greatest avidity to possess themselves of these weapons,
continues unabated. The mania, it appears, has extended
to the north, and in Cavan and Fermanagh the sale of
guns.and pistols was never so great as at the present

ime."

The Anglo Celt, published in the northern county of
Cavan, contains the following:—" This very day we
heard that a tradesman was about to open a shop in the
town of Cavan for the purpose of selling Birmingham
muskets, with the hope of realising a fortune by the trade,
although he expects to find his chief customers amongst
the applicants fer relief tickets—men, be it remembered,
who, having nothing to defend, can only purchase
these instruments of death for aggressive purposes."
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE KING'S COUNTY.
The Dublin Mercantile Advertiser of yesterday says:—
" Accounts reached town this morning of the total de-
struction by fire of Clonearl, the splendid residence of
William Henry Megan, Esq., in the King's County. It
is stated that the fire was accidental. Mr. Magan, on
receiving this intelligence, left town this day for
Clonearl. The mansion was erected by the father of
that gentleman, at a cost of 80,000/. It was insured at
the Royal Exchange, but we have not heard for what
amount." '

A second edition of the Warder of this day contains
the following:—

" A very destructive fire has taken place at my neigh-
bour's Mr. Mangan, of Clonearl; all his beautiful and
magnificent buildings, together with a vast deal of costly
furniture, are now in ashes. The fire broke out in one
of the sleeping-rooms, and it is not as yet known from
what cause. Some attribute the disaster to the burst-
ing of a chimney, and others to the negligence of a
servant. It is thought that 40,0001. would not repair
the damage."

THE WEATHER IN WESTMoRELAND.—Winter has
come upon us with unlooked-for suddenness and sevey-
rity. The change began on Friday last with a fine
bracing frost. Saturday was a brilliant sunshiny day,
with the frost still keen, and towards evening the maul ie
of winter fell for the first time on the earth. The snow
in this neighbourhood was not nearly so deep as it ap-
pears to have been in Yorkshire, where several trains:
were detained by it, and since Saturday we have had no
more. On Tuesday there was every appearance of a
break up of the frost, and the snow disappeared rapidly,
but by sunset the atmosphere had become clear and frore,
and since then the cold has been, for the season, iratense.
Ice has been formed in a single night considerably more
than an inch in thickness, and at several spots skating
has been commenced. The canal has already been froze en

INGS OF THE GENTRY.

Still, notwithstanding the immense amount of employ-
ment on the public works, combined with the benevo-
lent exertions of the relief committees, there is a formi-
dable extent of destitution in various districts. Of its
intensity in the county of Cork you may form some idea
from the following statements, abridged from the Cork
