YREVENTION OF NTARVATION.—We give to our readers to-day two very important resolutions, adopted unanimously at a •special meeting of the Guardians of the Balrothery Union, held on Wednesday last, presided over by George A. Hamilton, Esq., M.P.. the Chairman of  was signec  act of doing so, when the former, suddenly seizing intended victim by the head, applied a razor to his throat  le to re  .most -severed t  the body, nothing holding it but the muscle of the neck. Of course he died instantly. Tie wife of deceased, on hearing the noise, went out, lain'iinz he was (man-pith-10 with the supposed party of marauders  On the murder;  seeing her, he- threw the corpse of the deceased on the manure heap, opposite to where he had done the bloody  unate woman  icting a  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 neighbours, they 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 the-re were upwards of forty men, armed with guns, none dared attempt to arrest him. When the poliae in Moneymore heard of the circumstance, they immediately started off. to the scene of the outrage, and at once rushed upon and seized the  criminal, who was brought to town. He presented a frightful picture, 'being actually covered with blood from the shoulders down.--Newry Telegraph.

My two servants are in fever, from serving the Tinny pr,,,fitnrpa who come to my house clan  taking off as many as either ; they swell and  the Union. It will be seen from the first that the Guardians have taken upon themselves to order that any person, or any number of persons, who may be found, after inquiry, in danger of starvation, shall receive a ,meal at the workhouse, upon an order for their provisional admission for this purpose. This will rescue all those who  and this in their unknown cabins. I rescued a family the other day in this state, by the direct interference of Providence, after one member had died. They were dying in the condition- of misery described in your report of our last Presentment Sessions—unknown by any one ! The poor creatures have pawned everything they hadcoverinif and all !

And the Guardians, in their second of our woe I ' Eight... Pence a day for labourers with famiresolution, have called upon the Commissioners to sane- lies from four- to fourteen ! This latter is extreme, no tion the opening of the rooms, in the different districts doitht, but I have come across such extreme cases. And where distress prevails, in which similar relief may be one such case, at :preSent you will allow in such circumadministered. In fact, the effect of these resolutions will stances to be bad enough.
