HORRIBLE MURDER BY A DUMB BOY.  A correspondent in Iffoneymore communicates the particulars of a tragic and dreadful affair which has occurred in the neighbourhood of that town :—On the last night of the year, Teal WIN ulla, his wife, and three children, had gone to rest, expecting, no doubt, to spend the new-year in peace. However, a dumb boy, who had been in the habit of attending 51'Nulla's, came to his window, knocking at it, and giving the unfortunate man to understand that his cattle were taken from his cow-house. Id'Nulla rose, opened the door, and was signed to by the dummy to enter the shed. M'Nulla was in the act of doing so, when the former suddenly seizing his intended victim by the head, applied a razor to his throat, and (horrible to relate I) almost severed the head from the body, nothing holding it but the muscle of the neck. Of course he died instantly. The wife of deceased, on hearing the noise, went out, thinking he was quarrelling with the supposed patty of marauders. On the murderer seeing her, he threw the corpse of the deceased on the manure heap, opposite to where he had done the bloody deed, and attacked the unfortunate woman, inflicting a eevere cut, three inches in length, on her back, with the same weapon (a razor), and on her falling, he gave her a few kicks, and left her for dead. He then entered the house, and after looking whether the children were asleep, he commenced plundering the premises. In the meantime the woman gained so much strength as to crawl to the house next to where the tragedy took place, and raising the neighbeurs, found the wretched murderer eating bread and butter in the house. He took refuge in a loft above the kitchen, threatening any person who would dare come up, and although there were upwards of forty men, armed with guns, none dared attempt to arrest him. When the pollee In Moneyinore heard of the circumstance, they immediately started off to the scene of outrage, and at once rushed upon and seized the criminal, who was brought into town. He presented a frightful picture, being actually covered with bleed from the shoulders town.,—Newry Telegraph.  cad, applied severed tl TRADE, OF B 1  ...clan corn by almost all ..01 is now carried and which affords be starving.

It appears from a return from our Customhouse that there is a deficiency of £8,413 in the receipts from last year, when compared with the former; but when we consider the greet reduction made in our tariff, with the decrease in the consumption of tobacco for some months back, which may be attributed to the working classes being obliged to purchase food with what they formerly spent in this luxury, we could not expect it to be othernise.—Belfart Mercantile Register.  _.iELFAST.
