IRELAND,

A verdict of wilful murder has been found against Robin
Sullivan, at Bandon, for roasting his child alive, as re-
ported in our last.
On Wednesday as Mr. Waldron, of Dublin, was out
shooting, he became immersed in a bog-hole, and his gun
going off lie was shot dead.

to be the heaviest on record, as there are already nineteen

murder cases.

The storm last week was severely felt at Cork. Seve-
ral houses and stores were much injured, and a young
woman was killed by the falling of a stack of chimneys.
Some trees were broken down.

At Galway, the nephews .of a deceased farmer and his
adopted son quarrelled about the deceased's property,
and during the affray a young man, assisting the adopted,
received a violent blow from a spade, and he soon died.
Since the murder of Mr. Lucas, the tenants whom he
dispossessed have entered on the lands, and refuse either
to surrender or pay any rent; and Mr. Lucas, who has
been threatened, is afraid to proceed against them. •

The brother of the murdered Rev. Mr. Lloyd dares nc
go out even to church, unless attended by four policemen

boy, who was sitting at the fire, and, strik

MORE MURDERS THREATENED

-A gentleman from
the vicinity of. Strokestown, the scene of the late Major
Mahon's murder, where he had been endeivouring to col-
lect rents on a property of which he is the agent, states
that he saw a list posted on the road, containing the names
of several persons who are to be murdered. The first
name was that of a Roman Catholic gentleman, who holds
a considerable property in the county of Roscommon. It
was also very generally reported that a Roman Catholic
magistrate, of the county of Kildare, was murdered-adja-
cent to his residence. It is asserted that two resident
noblemen, whose lives have been threatened, have deter-
mined to fly from the western counties where they possess

The Rev. Mr. Miller, rz_
ham, has issued an appeal to his parishioners for help
his parochial work. He proposes to employ four Scrip-
ture readers for two years certain, at an annual stipend of
£75 each, and asks his flock, therefore, to raise him £6OO
or £3OO for each year. The following is an extract from
Mr. Miller's appeal :—" Let it be remembered that the
Rector of St. Martin's, aided by a few district visitors,
walks to and fro along the streets of his parish ; those
streets branching into courts on every side ; their courts
swarming with life—immortal life. Go up that entry, it
is a narrow one. It leads you to a wide court-yard—a

day's hard work is before you
every such street—every house of every court—every
room of every house should be visited. By every family
should the clergyman—or at any rate the Scripture reader,
as the clergyman's emissary—be known. With every
family should the tract be left. Every living soul should
know that he has a comforter in sorrow, a visitor in sick-
ness. The faithful minister feels—and he should feel—
"They are my people, the sheep I am to. feed, the wan-
derers I am to gather in.' "
Dr. Hampden, who is rector of Ewelme, has received
from his parishioners an address on his elevation to a
bishopric, in which they say,—" You have ever made the
great doctrine of justification by faith in the imputed
righteousness of Jesus Christ aprominent feature in your
