SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.

The following lamentable occurrence, and in
its circumstances accompanied ssith unexampled
barbarism, has lately taken place in the neigh-
bourhood of A',ory, near Rich Hill, as commu-
nicated to The Newry Telegraph
" A man, named J--h M--n, heretofore
of respectable character, in a fir of insanity un-
dertook the horrid work of rielf-assassination, by
inflicting a desperate wound on hi, throat. The
deadly weapon was wrested from him by a friend,
when he snatched a knife, unhappily at hand, and,
with a ferocious dcermination, finished the fatal
task so completely, that he expired in a short
time after. What is still more painful to human,
feeling,, if, indeed, any thing could be more so
than the above, remains yet to be related. Not-
withstanding that the result of the Coroner's

Inquest was not more unfavourable ti►an it gene-
rally turns out to be in such cases ; yet, when the
remains of this victim of phrensy were conveyed
to the burying ground of Mullaville, some beings,
in the form of ?nen, but equally destitute of sense
and humanity, murmured their dissatisfaction at
the interment of the body, and threatened that no
repose should be allowed to it amongst the ortii•
nary dead. They were Rs good as their word.
In a short time after, the untimely grave, surprised
under the curtain of night, hastily surrendered its

inmate—not at the mandate of God, but to the
ruffianly grasp of certain resurrection-men, who
have no security that their own minds may not yet
be disorgiinised, and themselves become theirown
executioners. He was now conveyed to Kilmore,
and here, too, the ►►ssembled multitude denied him
a grave. Clare was his next destination, but a
similar fate awaited him. It was then determined
that he shithld be deposited in a corner of the
farm which he lately called his own ; and here it
were devoutly to be wished that he had been suf-
fered to rest in peace. Bit no : the dead-raising
mania spread, and, to satiate its tory, the church-
yard of Mullabrack was fixed on as a final depot.:
At this place, hoverer, as before, the act of ex-
humation was performed in a manner that would
have cone honour to cariibals, but which should
not he exhibited to the eye, nor told iu the ear of
civilization. A nook in his own land once more
became the habitation of this special son of mis.
fortune."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT TATfERSAWS.

The business at Tattersall's was brisk yesterday, the first
Monday after York Races, when the merits of the Doncaster
St. Leger horses were' tiled, it being also the day before
Egham. Betting was as follows :

ST. LEGER.
4 to 1 against Mr. Pierce.
7 to Tambourine.
9 to 1 Jacques.
10 to I Craddock.
11 to 1 --- Octaviana.
15 to 1 -- Beggar Girl.
15 to 1 - Sister to William.
15 to 1 Lightning. •
EGRAM CUP, Tl-113 DAT.
6 to 4 against the Teddy colt.
2 to 1 Busto.
Even betting on Stainborough, if he run,wbich is doubted.

The famous horse Prince Paul, by Walton, who
won so much in the Spring►, and was sold by Sir
JOHN SHELLEY to Lord JERSEY, died about a
fortnight ago. And Maoniles, Brother to Milton,
the property of the Duke of GRAFTON, is likewise
dead, supposed to be caused by an injury he re-
ceived from a fall when running at the Craven
Meeting at Newmarket.

The harvest in the neighbourhood of this city is
becorniog pretty general. From the eminences in
the vicinity the prospect is highly gratifying : in
all directions, the country presents a luxuriant
appearance ; and, if we may judge from the size
and number of the bands of shearers, the farmers
are losing no time. We have not as yet received
particular statements of the quality of the diffe-
rent crops in this district, hut the stooks are
thickly ranged. With the revival of our com-
merce, we have smiling plenty over our plains,
and every appearance of the produce being well
stored. What heart will refuse to pour out its
thanks to the bountiful Giver of these multiplied
blessings.--•(Edin&ursh courant, /lug. 22.)
