s2s fEscape Of Schoolmaster from tile Police
Michael Hogan, from Kilharren, near Borriso-
n Kane, who described himself as q National
ii school teacher, is stated by correspondents to
Jhave made desperate and successful attempt
Ito free himself from the custody of a polio,
fSescort which was conveying him to Clonmel
sS2ail. 1t does not appear that Hogan had been
aiken up on any specified charge. A constable
GROSS him began to question him, and not
6being satisfied with the mans answers or ap-
Pearance, his answers being a threat and his
* 6ppearance expressive of q strong disposition

Ito viglant on the way, suddenly broke away,
md, though the chase was long and made by
nthletic young policemen, the agility of the

turned to barracks uncomfortably warm, to

{ Police Espionage.-If the police of the Bor-
1soleigh, Thurles and Newport districts,
hired for spreading disaffection among the peo-
ME. they could not more effectnally prove the
task, than their present conduct: For the life
siof us we cannot understand their object in
giving annoyance by night to farmers who re-
squire rest, while engaged in the useful and
necessary labor Of spring work. The police
Eehould bear in mind that he is the ratepayer
whom they are thus annoying, who have to
lob out their extra pay. The authorities know
FULL well that no man would be foolish enough
TO keep unregistered arms under the roof of
his house. The conclusion arrive ut is,
shat they are dipped by some informers who
know nothing, or that they want to make out
the country is disturbed, with view to forge
fresh letters for honest men but they are mis-
taken. All true Irishmen have made up their
minds that England's difficulty will be Ire
lands next opportnnity.-1ipperary 4drocate.

ment of Mr.. Robert Eakins, in the town of
Extraordinarily county Derry, was totally

women were of the ages respectively of twenty
