ANGLO-CELT SEPTEMBER 7, 1854 A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE LANDLORDS.--A circular has been handed to us from the Commissioners of Education, offering to the industrious tenants on their estate for premiums of one pound each, and two of ten shillings each for the cleanest and best cropped farm, for the best acre of flax, the most perfect drains, the best acre of clover and grass seed, the best designed manure stead and the best parcel of butter made on the farm. He of the competitors who comes off second best, is to have a proportionate sum allowed him. This is of a piece with the rest of the conduct of the Commissioners in their relations of landlords, for, during late years, since the first season of the famine, they have given to all holding under them, an abatement of ten per cent, upon their rents, and, at the last election, they left every man free as thought to record his vote for whom he would. The sum they now propose to expend is comparatively a small one, but it will well suffice to induce in their tenants that spirit of industrial emulation which can never be without it fruit, and, at the same time, infuse into their hearts a lasting love for those who urge them to improve their own condition, and pay them for it. DEATH FROM VOLUNTARY STARVATION--An inquest was held on Sunday last, in the gaol of this town, before John M'FADDEN, Esq., M.D., one of our county coroners, on the body of a man named Archibald SCOTT, who died there on the previous evening. The deceased, who was a confirmed lunatic, was confined there since the 16th of April last, and latterly exhibited the greatest repugnance to partake of any food whatsoever; so great, indeed, was his disinclination in this respect, that he ate nothing but what was actually forced down his throat. The jury returned their verdict, that the deceased came by his death from insuition, and that the turnkey of his ward had done all that lay in his power to preserve and sustain his life, by a careful ministration of food to him. __________________________________________________________ DEATHS Sept. 8, at Boulogne-sur-Mer, Mary Anne Cecilia, youngest daughter of Robert BURROWES, Esq., of Stradone House, county of Cavan, aged four years and six months.
