u CEARE,-A correspondent of the Glare
Independent has the following anent land
lords:'' "There is another property not far
from Kilkee. The present owner might ne
liberat in its management, for he owes the
enjoyment of it to chance, and the change
of name not in odor since D9, for a.more
honorable one. His predecessor was OF the
good old Irish type. The tenants held the
farms for something about the government
valuation, and he disdained haggling with
them for bog money. Under the present
owner the rents went up again and again,
till now, in some instances, they are hfty
per cent, in others one hundred per cent:
more than they were. AS in the case OF
Mr.. Scully, the rent has been received
through aSlittfe opening, and God help the
man who has it not to the last farthing.

arrears and start anew if only the rent was
reduced to a reasonable figure. He had to
go out. While his son remained in the
country, for two full years, no one dared
take that farms Now that he is gone, q
stranger has it on more favorable terms, !
am credibly informed, than those refused
to the man whose family titled it for gener-
ations.
