The particulars are briefly as follow: As William Ardell was crossing from Mr. Falkiner's how to his own dwelling, a distance of about a quarter of a mile, he was fired at by some person or persons unkuown,and shot dead, the contents of the piece having lodged in his heart. He was found dead between his own dwelling and Mr. P.'s, about the hour of six o'clock next morning. No cause has as yet been assigned for the commission of this outrage. Ardell has left a widow and six children. The same authority furnishes another piece of Tipperary barbarism, scarcely less horrifying than the foregoing : "On Thursday last, as a poor, emaciated, and almost of the name of Mageath, was passing eld, convenient to the village of Newport„_ of a wealthy and respectable farmer of the name iogan, the cravings of hunger prompted him to pull a turnip, having voraciously eaten which, he took another, when Hogan came up and rudely caught hold of the poor man. Ile told him to drop the turnip, said he was a prisoner, and that he would take him as such to the Bridewell of Newport. Is it for a turnip you'll make a prisoner of me? Oh! for God's sake, do not; forgive me, I, was hungry,' piteously ejaculated the wretched Magrath, whose entreaties for liberty were in vain; when he ultimately said he would not go as a prisoner, and that he would going Hogan. At this part of the contention a farmer arrived, and told Hogan if he felt aggrieved he had a remedy by summoret, and suggested the humanity of, letting Magrath go. As Magrath was then in the ad of quitting the turnip-field, Hogan presented his gun, toOk deliberate aim, fired, and shot the unfortunate man in the left arm and side! His arm is shattered, and several slugs are lodged in his side. He lies dangerously ill in Newport, spitting blood in large quantities. The medical gentleman Who is attending him has no hopes of his recovery.
