STATE OF THE COUNTR Y.
ATTACKING HOUSES FOll FIRE-ARNIS.—On Saturday night
last, an armed party of men attacked the farm-house of Mr.
Arthur Elartland, at Ballygarvan, and threatened destruction
to the inmates and property, if a gun that the trustee had in
his possesion was not instantly given to them—a demand which,
through fear, was complied with. Several other houses were
attacked in like manner, and tire arms taken from the occu-
pants.—Cork Constitution.
MURDEROUS ATTACK.—A few nights since, as Mr. Ruskell,
of Knockview, county Wicklow, was returning home from a
steeple Chace, he was way-laid in Newbridge, and several stones
thrown at him, cne of which hit him on the temple, which
nearly felled him from his horse. Ile was, however, able to
reach his sister's residence, where he now lies in a precarious
state, attended by Surgeon' Nicholson, his skull all but frac-
tured. It appears he had some dispute on the race course with
two young men, and from his being a powerful and athletic
young man, they were afraid to attack him in any but this
assassin-like manner. They are well kuown, however, and we
have no doubt will receive that punishment all such cowardly
and infamous conduct deserves. •

On the morning of the 19th instant, an armed party went to
the houses of several fanners at Corcamore, near Ballybrowne,
in this county, and warned them, on pain of death, not to em-
ploy strangers, and to turn off those whom the.y had already in
their employment.—John Bateman, farmer, and his wife, re-
turning from market on Saturday night, were attacked by three
failovis in Clare-street, who robbed them of several articles of
wearing apparel. One of the offenders, named Meyers, is in
custody.-- Limerick Chronicle.

On Thursday night last, between the hours of ten and eleven
o'clock, (being the fair day of Killenaule,) that town was a
scene of rioting, bloodshed, throwing stones, breaking windows,
&c. &c., although a Etroncr force of police were in attendance.
The house of Mr. Richard Greene was broken into by a gang of
cowardly assassins, who heat Mr. Greene and inflicted several
cuts on his head, and his son received a B.:were blow on his arm
while in the act of saving, his father from the brutal design of
those fellows. The windows of Mr. Richard Bourke's house
were broken with stones, and also several others. The police
should be more on the alert, particularly on the fair night,
which we are sorry to add is always a scene of rioting and dis-
turbing the well-disposed persons of the town.—Cloninell Ad-
vertiser.

Yesterday constable Hourigan, of the peace preservation
force, and constables Spain, Markham, and Singleton, of the
constabulary, stationed at Kilteely, under the orders of Captain
Brady, succeeded in arresting Michael Mahony, the late tenant
of Biillynagreny, who was the author of all the disturbances in
that quarter of the county during the last few months. The
party took him in front of a large number of persons who were
digging potatoes, after a chace of two miles. Mahony has been
