for the next campaign in Cork. The Cork
Herald says that "it has been publicly
stated that never within the memory of the
CATION was there ever SO many ejectments
in the county for trial as there will be at

time this for the crowbar brigade to recon-
mence work. The people are all SO gush-
ingly loyal at present that they will tamely
submit to be turned out like dogs to beg, or
rot, or starve!
DERRY.-Recently an accident of a shock
ing nature occurred to an old man named
CrOssley, who acts as sexton in the churches
of killowen, in Coleraine. Crossley Is in
the habit of keeping the walks in the grave
yard free from weeds, grass, etc., and also
of keeping the ton,bs in repair While
the tombs he missed his hold, and came
down with great force on the spikes, some

ton of time piece to that loquacious min
compoop and bigot, Johnston, of Baiiykfi-

subsequently to advise the brethren to
s' regulate all their hours by Williams (the
Third) clock; and, above all things, when
the hour points to twelve, to remember the
18th of July, 1000. They must tell the
government, no matter who may be Prime
Minister, that they cannot afford to disrc-
gard the Protestant voice of Ireland" He
had received an invitation to attend an
Orange meeting at Waringstown, which
several Roman Catholics had signed. He
could not say whether there would be any
further prosecutions at the next 18th of
July. The government" he imagined,
would, if they had it again to do, think
twice before sending Johnston, OF Ballykll-
beg, to prison." Three firebrand parsons,
who, we suppose, had no spiritual duties to
attend to, spoke 0n the occasion.
