CAvAN.-A correspondent of the DubI,n
freeman says: Some nights since a most
wanton and stupid outrage was committed
i'll the new burying ground of Cornacrea,
not far from Cavan, by the malicious break
ing OF marble cross placed by Mr.. Andrew
Garden, OF Barnane, county Tipperary, over
the grave of a young child of his who died
when he was in the neighborhood. and
which cross was broken in the same out,.
rageous way once before, two or three years,
since. The graveyard in question is exclu-
sively intended for the Protestant popula-
ton of the neighborhood, and the only mo-
tive that can be guessed at for this wicked
and senseless act of demolition is that the.
emblem of the cross is distasteful to some
of the good people of the locality, and re-
pugnant to their feelings. -

MAYo.-The farmers throughout the.
county are reported to have been very busy
during the late fine weather, at their spring
work, which, however, is late, owing first.
to the harshness of the past season. and
second, to the great scarcity of laborers-
for alas! few OF them are now to be found,
rs OF old, in the rural districts of the west
Of Ireland. EvictiOns and distress have
banished them for refuge to the towns and
cities.
