SAVAGE NIURDER.A horrid murder was perpetrated on a
poor man, named Giblain, when returning from the fair of
Droinore West, on Saturday, the 6th instant. lie was waylaid,
and his brains dashed out with stones, by four ruffians, who
attacked hint simultaneously and at an unguarded moment,
having concealed themselves behind a ditch on the road side
until Giblain's approach. To the credit of the magistrates',
chief constable, and constable of the district where this atro-
cious occurrence took place, nearly every man concerned in this
foul deed are at this moment within the walls of the county
gaol.—Sligo Journal. •
ANOTHER MGADF.R.—On the 9th instant a man was tnur-
dered in the town of Arduaree. It appears that a husband and.
wile had been quarrelling. and a poor man who was passing
went into the house to afford relief' to the woman, who was
desperately beaten by her savage husband; the latter no sooner
perceived the interference of the deceased, than he ran, for a
knife, and plunged it into the heart of the uilotiending sufferer;
the brutrl assassin, ungovernable from rage and whiskey, mor-
tally stabbed his victim in several places; he expired almost
instantaneously. It is gratifying to add, that the murderer,
although he endeavoured to effect his escape, was speedily in the
custody of the police, and is now amenable to the offended laws.
This is the third murder that has been perpetrated, in the space
of only one short week, in the barony of Merril, in this c3uuty
—Sligo Journal. .
THE RIOT AT DUNGLOW.—In our last we mentioned the riot
and loss of life which occurred at the fait of Duuglow ; since
then, au inquest has been held on the body of. the deceased
man, and a verdict of '• wilful murder" returned against the
:police. We shoUld be sorry to question the integrity of any
persons on their oath; but really, in the present instance, it
;appears to us mysterious how four policemen, firing in their own
defence, after their barrack was attacked, and a rescue of their
prisoners attempted by a numerous mob,.could be found guilty
of wilful murder for shooting one of the rioters; for, although
we exceedingly regret. the loss of life, yet we cannot attach any
blame to the police, who were then on duty to •preserve the
!peace of town. The police have been committed,-to Lifford
!Gaol, to stand their trial at the ensuing assizes.—Ballyshannon
Herald.

WHITEFOOT OUTRAGE—PRIESTLY INTOLERANCE.—On
'Wednesday night some inhuman miscreants proceeded to the
lands of Mr. Pat. Neil, of Milford, in this count and cut the
throats of two valuable horses, his property. No other cause
can be assigned for the perpetration of ;his outrage, but that
Mr. Neil has been steady to the interests of his landlord, and
has been canvassing for Colonel Bruen and Mr. Kavanagh.
This is the result of priestly intolerance. On Sunday last they
,harangued the rabble, and declared war, to the knife, against
!the Roman catholic electors who would not succumb to their
ferocious despotism. klarge 'reward will be otiered,by h .en-
try of the county for such information as will lead to the des.
cover), of the perpetrators of this inhumati,outrage.—Cariow
;Sentinel.

COUNTY TIPPERARY MURDER.—On Tuesday last as a poor
man, a weaver, was returning from Thurles to•his home, he-Was
met at Rolestown, within three miles of Templemore, by two
meivand a woman, who asked him " ` If he knew Joseph Tracy,
the stag ?"---7the innocent man, on answering, in the affirmative,
and that he was a gold neighbour, was instantly:knocked down
by one of the party with a stone, and after having beaten out
his brains, they decamped. Michael Cormack, Esq., coroner
of Thurles, held an inquest on the body, when a verdict of
"wilful murder against some person or persons unknown" was
returned. The deceased has .left a wife and six children. On
Wednesday night last the dwelling-house of the steward of
Richard Minchin Carden, Esq., of Hishmoyue, was malicimisly
set on fire and burned to the ground. At the fair of Borrisoleigh
there was great rioting. The police, under Chief Constable
Mor.ran, took a number of the refractory leaders, who were
armed with skull-crackers!! into custody.—Clonniel Advertiser.
INTIMIDATION.—On Thursday night a few of the freeholders
in the barony of 'drone West were carried off by forcitoiLeigh-
lin Bridge, by a priest, whose name we will not mentionk•being
at the head of a mob, who were blowing horns through the
country during the night. The rabble have become desperate,
owing to the ferocious mandates of their priests, who know they
have no chance, even by intimidation, to secure the election.
It is their last struggle. Let the electors meet their foes like
men determined to be free, and the result of the ensuing contest
will be the extinction of the faction for ever in this country.—
Carlow Sentinel.

BRUTAL ASSAULT, FERMOY, JUNE 15.—As four men were
serving notices for the recovery of (I understand) four years
arrears of the lay impropriate tithes, in the parish of Castlely-
ons, on Thursday last, they were assailed by a ferocious mob of
men and women, who beat them most unmercifully, and would,
no doubt, have murdered them but for the timely intervention
of some humane persons, who, at imminent hazard of their own
lives, rescued these intended victims, and conveyed them, all
bloody and battered, to a place of safety. 'While the assault
was going on, a messenger came off to the Garrison at Fenn oy
for assistance, acid Colonel Campbell, with. four companies of
the 95th regiment, quickly repaired to the place, but all was
quiet on their arrival. They, however, took up a man and his
wife, who were ringleaders in the business, and conveyed them
to Fermoy Bridewell, by order of a magistrate. It appears that
the excellent gentleman, whose father vested a large capital in
the purchase of these impropriate tithes, is, with his amiable and
interesting family, subjected to great,privations in' consequence
of the. mob law which has so long been permitted to lay its grasp
On his property.
