The Dublin Morning Post says, I, The ;lon. and Rev.
JOHN BLAcawoon, of the parish of Rathcormac, of which he has
been Rector for 48 years, has remitted the entire of his potatoe tithe
for the year 1886, to aid his good Lick, so obedient to the law, in
their privation of food this year." _

A public vestry WAS held on Thursday at Frome,
chiefly for the purpose of taking into consideration a
prohibition of the Lord Bishop of the diocese, as to the
practice of paying the poor in the vestry. The subject
having excited some attention, there was a numerous
and respipctable attendance ; and it was the opinion of
the maXrity, that his Lords Lip had, in this instance,
exceeded his authority. It was, therefore, after much
discussion, determined, that agreeably to immemorial
custom, payment of the poor should be continued in the
vestry-room, until the opinions of Dr. Lushington and
Mr. Nolan could be obtained.

DUBLIN.—A murder was committed at Malabide,oll
Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning last. Robert Long, a
native of Swords, returned home en that night and perpetrated the
horrid deed by inflicting a number of wounds on the body of bis
ili-
fated victim. On the inquest four witnesses were produced, two
of whom are tensile, of the age of eight and ten years, children of
the unfortunate woman by the murderer. It appears that he cion.
milted the act on the floor of the kitchen, after which he removed
the body to the bed; he then washed himself and changed bis
clothes, even to bis linen, and at en early hour absconded. A person
who lodged in the house, and a boy who slept its it, proved that
they had heard her ems, calling for assistance; but the parties being
in the habit of quarrelling, they did nut interfere. The siiter of the
murdered woman, who, with her husband, was living with Doctor
Faaaan, who resides within a short distance of Long's housrs 4
though aware of she occurrence at four o'clock that morning, did
not inform her master. of it for sin hours after.—" Wilful Murder..
