WORKING ON THE SABBATH DAY.—SUDDEN DEATH.—
A man of the name of Richard Heraghty, who resided in the
parish of Kilinain, went out after mass on last Sunday, with
his son, to dig potatoes.; and after digging for some time,
took ill and died in a few minutes. We will not say that his
death took place because he violated the Sabbath, but if the
people of this part of the country thought so, much desecra-
tion of that holy day might be refrained from. The jury, in
their verdict, said that the death of the deceased was a visita-
tion from God.—Mayo Constitution.

FURTHER ARREST OF RIBBON CONSPIRATORS.-011 Sun-
day last, L. White, Esq. S.M. arrived in Ardee, from Dun-
dalk, and having procured the assistance of Mr. S. Enright,
C.C., and the Ardee police, proceeded to search for papers
connected with the Ribbon Society, and after a prolonged
one, they succeeded in obtaining the object of their search—
Mr. Enright having found two documents connected with
the Ribbon system, enveloped in a letter in the house of a
baker named Kearney ; one of those documents contained
the names of individuals connected as heads of lodges in no
less than twenty different counties !!! Mr. White, on read-
ing the name of an individual who was set down as master of
the county Wexford Lodge, expressed surprise, as he said he
was a respectable person, and occupied above two hundred
acres of land ! The other document contained the signs and
pass-words of the system. Kearney, in whose possession
they were found, was committed to Ardee bridewell, by Mr.
White, from whence he was marched ere daylight on Monday
morning to Dundalk. He is a man who has extensive trade
in the business, and was in the habit of sending bread to a
gentlemen in the counties of Louth and Meath. We hope
this important discovery may tend to the upsetting of this
baneful system, whose incipient acts have been sealed with
the blood of many innocent victims, and whose final ones are
intended for the extirpation of an entire people.—Drogheda
