NIengher in frelnnR

The following account of Irish enthusiasm. in
the green isle itself, on hearing the escape o.
Meagher, is from Irish paper:
''The men of Mullinahone and its neicbbor-
hood decided at once to light bonfres ON the
hills. CorrignocGer was, for obvious reasons.
chosen as the fttest place for rendezvous. and
long before sunset rs merry band as need be
had assembled the summit of that peak, and
when they were told that young Meagher had
made his escape, their looks testified how they
felt. Some pointed TO the exact spot-a messy
cushion under the shadow of a huge grey rock
where he dined one day. Others spoke of the
speech he made standing Fioun ma Cours
table, though since called Meaghers rock
We had music too-the mellow bugle, the
merry violin, and the lively fife, added a new
charm to the scene. And now the sun had sto-
len away from US, the moon rose, and the stars
began TO twinkle in the clear blue sky. The
match was now applied to the pile, and as the
flames ascended, some one cried out cheer for
Meagher, and may God speed him ~ and then
arose a cheer that, if anything could, would have
shaken the old '>corrig' to its centre. A fir
was soon deserted on the hill of Ballingary,
and in short time the country all around look
ed like another armament studded with bright
luminaries. l must not neglect to mention that
many of the sunny-eyed girls of Tipperary We're
with Us, to whose ardent kindly patriotism, the
young tribune himself has borne immortal testi-
mony, and need say that the joy of their hearts
at his escape was seen beaming in their eyes,

Storm on Lake Eric.

CLEVELAND, o., July l.
Lake Erie was more turbulent yesterday than
she has been for many years, in consequence of
which much damage has been done and we have
no doubt many lives were lost.
The Caspian, which was laying at the new
pier of the c. c. and C. railroad broke from her
moorings and was thrown around against the
adjacent piles, breaking her in two just forward
Of the wheel-house. a number of passengers
were on board at the time who barely escaped
before the accident occurred. Nothing on board
was saved except number of trunks and some
furniture that foated ashore She is perfect
wreck and we understand she was not insured.
The Queen City was lying at the other side Of
the pier, but having steam up when the gall
commenced, she started for the river without
damage, except the breaking of wheel.
/ A large number Of brigs and schooners came
in flying but no material damage was done t.
any of them. One schooner in rounding into
the river took the jib boom bowspirit off of an.
other vessel of the same class which was lying
at the dock by the leech-rope of the foresail-

Affecting Incident.

On the night Meloy was murdered, Keast had
promised his boys a cocoa nut. The poor little
fellows, in all the glee of childhood, waited un-
til q late hour, but he came not. Early the
next morning they left their boarding house,
and went to the house in which they formerly
lived for long time they pounded at the door
but receiving answer, they got in through
the window. They found their fathers working
coat, and the cocoa nut in the pocket. On ta-
king it out, they discovered blood upon the coat.
The first impression was that the father had
been hurt, and the boys left the house hand in
hand wandering through the streets in search
of him. 1t was a long time before any person
could muster sufficient courage to impart the
dreadful affair to them. When, however, they
did hear it, and fairly understood the whole cir
cumstance, there was a wall of woe and anguish
that was most heart-rending-a display of ex-
cessive grief and sorrow such as can only be ap-
preciated by those who know the depths of the
pure fountains from whence child's love for
its parent springs.
The lads aged respectively seven and nine
years, are intelligent little fellows, and we are
pleased to learn that they have been provided
for by some benevolent gentlemen. The moth
er, it is said, died at the State Launatic Asylum
last week HoELidays5urg Standard.

The Famine in Germany.

The famine in the mountain districts of Sou
thern Germany is yet unabated, and provisions
scarce and prices ezorbitant. A letter to the
New York Express, dated Prague, June 3,
says:
reduced to beggary and to severe sufTerings from
hunger. Bakers sell bread of rye and cat bran
at high prices people gather common grass al
ong the public roads and highways, and moss
in the woods, cook and eat it to appease their
hunger and prevent starvation. Such are a few
of the many glaring features of the great fam
inc, not in the least exaggerated, but authenti-
Gated by the official reports of the local authori-
ties to their respective Governments. Trulythe

A conspiracy i'm the French Army.

The New York Times learns by private let
ter that serious conspiracy was recently dis
covered in the French army. 1t was denounced
by Sergeant in the army, who had joined the
conspirators, but became frightened at the ex-
tent and boldness of their plans. He states
that in the regiment to which he belonged an as
sociation had been formed, among whose mem
bers were numbered some eighty or ninety non
commissioned officers, who had agreed. in the
event of popular out break, when ordered to
fire upon the people, to aim their bullets their
own officers, and join the popular ranks. The
informer was unable to say whether the organi-
zation of the conspirators extended beyond his
own regiment. Their movements seemed to
have been planned and prosecuted with great
care and secresy.
