I
! One-of those really great things which arc
being constantly done in Ireland we have to
record to-day of Enniskeane, Tho Catholics
| of that knlan and not wealthy district have
! resolved to raise new church, and ON tho first
occasion when n subscription was called, for
| they raised sum LeXceeding ES00. This is
really n remarkable proof of the piety and
self-sacriice of the people, and is the best
Isanswer to those who hllege that there1s any
| diminutiopy in Catholic zeal When referring
| to the district i'll which this Church is needed,
there is one curious fact, that nearly every
! landed proprietor in the parish is a Protestant.
On Tuesday, 25th .uIt., fine little girl, about
| ten years of age, named Punch, who lives with
her parents in Corn-market street, Cork,
was sitting at the fire. when her clothes ignted,
and she was instantly enveloped in flames. A
young woman was in the room, but terrified
by the appalling spectacle, lost her presence of
mind and remained helpless, screaming wildly.
Her cries attracted the neighbors, who rushed
into the house and extinguished the flames,
but not until the poor creature had been fear
| fully burned about the body and face.
ArIaputation from the Cork Farmers Club
prese9 led address to tho Lord Lieutenant,
at the Imperial Hotel, the evening of the
2Sth, Immediately before the civic banquet.
The address, while recognizing the right of
the landlord to get fair rent, asks that the
filters of the. soil shall be secured in their
right of occupation, and in the enjoyment of
the property created by their own capital and
industry 1t also invokes the clemency of the
crown for the Fenian prisoners. His Excel
lency, inreply, without pronouncing an opinion
upon the resolutions of the Club, applauded
the practical spirit which had induced them
to put forward their views in tangible shape,
and added that so difficult problem required
close and searching inquiry. He also compli-
mented the citizens on their enterprise and
public spirit, and recognized the fact that tho
people of Ireland We're well able, when the
opportunity WAS given them of successfully
carrying out great commercial and manufac-
turing undertakings, and noticed the absence
of crime in the city of Cork.
II Daring Act Of Bigohy in UestmeGth-On the
nj ght of the 9th September some party pro-
cecded to the graveyard of Kilbixy, and there
committed one of the most wanton acts of ruff
ianism and bigotry, which has been perpetra,
ted in this neighborhoOd for years 1mmedi-
atey after the death of the late venerated and
generally respected Mr.. West, of Ballinacargy,
his devoted and kind-hearted lady had q very
nice monument erected in the above-named
churchyafd to his memory, and. to denote her
respect and love for her 1amented husband,
but it appears that some members of the dis
established congregation did not like to see
the emblem of mans redemption surrounding
the tomb of deceased Protestant. Conse-
quently the cross was torn down aud broken
in pieces, and the body or lower part of the
monument taken up out of the earth and
rolled considerable distance to the mouth of
q cave, into which it thrown. 1t is too
bad that the last resting place of man in this
place below should be made the platform for
the exercise of those cowardly and bigoted
ruffians' conduct, but, thank God, their day is
fast passing away.-CorrespoRdeH Nation.
Great Meeting at Mdryborough.-A meeting of
the tenant farmers of Queens County was held
in marlborough on the 25th ult., for the pur
pose of discussing the question of security of
tenure in Ireland. The attendance large
and influential. Each townland, for many
miles around sent thousands of representa-
tives, and the result that the Market
square, in which the meeting was held, was
crowded to its utmost limits. Almost every
person who attended bore green spray and
several associations of an industrial character |
sont their flags with various national notices |
there were about 10000 persons |
place on the 25th ult. in Emily, a small town in
the County Tipperary, and convenient to the |
counties of Cork and Limerick There were
over 10000 persons present. being probably one |
of the largest and most imposing demonstra-
tions held in this country to demand the re-
lease of the Fenian prisoners. The proceedings
throughout were of the most orderly character,
and when the business of the meeting con-
cluded, the people dispersed very quietly.
The Oramgemen and the amnesty Morement.-
For some time past the Orangemen have been
Doastipg that they would allow no amnesty
meeting to be held in the North. The boast
was disgraceful one to them, but they seemed
quite proud of it, and they We're full of big
words as to what they would do if any such
proceeding should/be attempted The Catho-
lies, however,~did not think they were bound
to yield to. such threats, and they resolved that
q meeting they would have for the legal, con-
stitutional and humane purpose of petitioning
the Government for the release of the political
prisoners and they fixed on Hannahstown as
the place, and Sunday Oct. 3, as the time of
neutrality-suspicious..
''Felonous Conduct."-Lord Clarendon stig-
matised with the epithet "felonious" the con-
duct of landlords who seize upon improvements
effected by their tenantry without giving them
any compensation for the samoa good deal
of such felony practised frefaud.- The
feions are numerous, and, what is more, they
claim to be very respectable. They are we'll
treated, too, those felons, and the Government,
instead of subjecting them to any sort of pun
ishment, has hitherto treated them with the
are to be found magistrates, deputy-lieuten-
ants, judges, and swaFms of Government Off
calls Indeed tho Government itself Is pri-
marily responsible for their misdeeds.
