Lately, much lamented, at Ballya-Tin in the county of
Cavan, the Rev. James Pollock, aged S 2. This gentle-
man was 54 years a curate in the diocese of Kihnore ; he
lived in the administration of four Bishops, to one of
whom he was Curate when his Lordship was Deau. His
residence was little more than two miles distant from the
palace, without, however, as it is said, his enjoying for a
series of years its hospitality, save at a visitation dinner.
He commenced his clerical duties in the times of mode-
ration, when the salary was 501. a-year, but afterwards
for a season enjoyed the more ample provision of '751.
When age and infirmities, of which he had not a fewr
interposed to prevent his performance of the extensive
duties of his parish, he, of necessity, as well as to malts
way for a more active functionary, consented about two
years since to retire, and was thereupon again set down with
his early and old friend, a stipend of 50/. per annum, and
so died. Mr. Pollock married a lady most respectably
connected, whose family name was Enery ; they lived toge-
ther fell fifty years, and the remains of this good and ex-
emplary woman, "who never ceased to be merciful after
her power, doing with diligence gladly, and giving of the
little she had," broken down with griefs and pain at the
age of seventy-five, followed her husband to the grave
within one little week after the termination of his earthly •
course. In the early period of his sojourn in Kilmore,
and not long after his marriage, Mr. Pollock's house, with
all its furniture, was by accident consumed to ashes, and •
this gentleman, then, with a view of helping his scanty
means, and to provide for a young family, prudently joined
the occupation of husbandry, of which he was fond, to
that of his ether calling, and was what is termed a good
farmer, though upon rented and neither cheap or good
land; and even after the munificent increase of salary a*
mentioned, and his removal to the parish in which he died,
he continued upon a small scale very neat and tasteful in thje
particular, thereby aiding his other means to tiling up a
large family of children, all of whom he settled in the •
world with great credit to himself and them. This cler-
gyman, through his whole life, upheld not only a charac-
ter free from blame, but worthy of praise---and if " be
erred in aught" it was in unbending support under
every circumstance which he considered his duty, of
the secular rights and immunities of the church, and
in advocating the ascendant power of the establish-
ment to which he belonged, against any iunbration'
or change whatever, insomuch that that were he alive and
well, there is no doubt that the Lord Bishop of Ferns
would at this day have his most strenuous support to the
full scope of his power. The writer of this obituary, once
riding out in company with a friend (now, alas ! no more)
saw this old clergyman habited in the usual costume of hie
profession, with his black hair which he wore long, and
then at his time of life mixed with silver grey, flowing to
his shoulders, holding his own plough—the day was fine
and cheering, and the tout-ensemble of this venerable and
serene looking figure (he was a comely man), apparently •
pleased and contented, struck the writer at the moment
as the roost perfect model of one of the Antediluvian
Patriarchs that could be imagined. " Look, M--y,"
said the writer, " see old Mr. Pollock." " I do indeed
see him," was the reply, "and happy is it for him that
there is another and a better world !' " What "a
be the cause," 1 inquired, " of his being so long a curate T.s
'
" I never heard any," rejoined my friend.--" bust it t
whispered that once at a visitation, when the Cletgyrnea
were called in the usual order of their parishes, this old
man, upon seeing a youth of high eonuexions who had not
been long initiated into the sacred vocation, answer to his
name, and approach as the rector of one of the best livings
in the diocese, gave a long and heavy sigh, so deep and
loud' as to attract not only the attention of the whole au-
ditory, but especially of the late Doctor Duignan—theree
however, the matter dropped." " And so," said 1, turning
upon him, " will this reverend and respected. Clergy-
man"—" Alas, poor Yorick !—or," added he, " it would
have been better said, Alas, poor Pollock!'" was Loy
friend's reaponsa,..—Ennishillen Chronicle, Marsh 11.
