GLADSTONE'S MESSAGE OF PEACE TO
IRELAND.
To the Editor of the" Observer."
Sim—l learn that an act of the grossest Vandalism has
been perpetrated iu Clow:mire Church, near lialtinglas,
in Ireland. In that church the Honourable and Vener-
able Archdeacon Stanford put up a monumental window
of stained glass, in memory of his deceased wife. Os
the outside it was protected by wirework. Within the
Church it formed a very beautiful object. • few days
ago this work of art and testimony of affection was en-
tirely destroyed. The perpetrators of this barbarous act
must have been at great trouble to tear away the wire.
work, and to ania,li thi. window with stones. This is
one specimen of the reetnt of the " Message of Peace
sent to Ireland by the firm of Gimlstoue, Bright, and
Co. What a future lies before the Protestants of Ire-
laud !
I am, Sir, yours truly,
