bog of Clonielly, situated on Lord Norbury's
property, has been shifted considerable
distance from its former position adjacent to
the lands of Cape Pamurra, and not very far
from the Castle of Killenure This is at least
| the third time within century that such q
markable occurrence has taken place on that
extensive turbary. Indeed, its very traditional
it's restless character. The portion which has
now been displaced compromises about an
acre, or an acre and half, on which were
number of deeply cut turf banks. The gentle
man from whom we have received the intelli-
gence of this rather strange phenomenon is I'M
| able to fix the exact hour, but says it was some
time during the night of Tuesday, the 18th
The drains in the locality were insufficient, it
would appear, to carry Oft the enormous
quantity of water, and the result was that a
great part of the bog became detached, and
foated distance of eight or ten perches over
some waste land from which the turf had
already been cut and carried away. Its
further progress was stayed by q hill or rising
ground, against which it is now resting. The
only damage that has occurred is the injury to
the "banks," which has suffered to a somewhat
serious extent Several persons have since
visited the locality, which, may observe, is
close to the residence of Mr.. Palliser Wayland,
who is connected with the management of
Lord Norbury's estate in this county. 1t is
about three miles from the Dublin Railway
line From the public road that traverses this
bog, the great cavity left by the detached mass
may be distinctly seen.-Clonmel Chronicle.
The Feniaus determined to put ODono-
van Rosa forward again for Tipperary as soon
hs the late election shall have been declared
invalid by the House of Commons, and Col.
John OMahony, who is at the head of one of
the wings of the Brotherhood in the United
States, has made an urgent appeal to Irish
nationalists of all classes for money to carry
on the contest. "The men of Tipperary," he
says, have won great victory for the cause
nf Irish national DlerSc v this ola tioD
They have covered themselves with immortal
honor. 1t has now become the imperative duty
of every patriotic Irishman all over the world
to aid and support them in maintaining the
advantage they have thus gained over tho
enemies of our common country" Colonel
O'Mahony thinks it onght to be feasible to
raise q sum of 10000 in a few weeks to defray
| the expenses of the contest, and combat the
f" extraordinary influence" which he assumes
will be set in motion by the British Govern
ment against the Fenian candidate-CorE En-

Death Of the Reu. Father John Francis Coz, o.
s., F. C.-With much regret we have to an
| nounce the death of this estimable young
priest, after long illness, on Wednesday night,
tie 10Th nit He returned q short time since
from Cork to Kilkenny, his native city, for
change of air, but the inclemency of the

while travelling, he sunk rapidly after reaching

last moments by the care and attention of his
brother priests Of the Capnchin Convent, who

| vened by Lord Erne, ITO consider the conduct
of the Government" in removing Captain Mad

This day, two female batfad-singers, who
had come from Roscommon, We're brought be-
fore Il. b. DAILY, Esq, Mayor, by sub-constable
Fearon, charged with singing reasonable
songs. The father of the prisoners was arrested
Il few days ago, in he village of Colon, for u
similar offence. Ono of the ballads was
Roary of the Hill" The Mayor said the con-
stable had acted very properly. The ballads
seized should he at once burned, and the police
would see that the prisoners should forthwith
leave the town. If brought before him again,
he knew how to deal with thcm.-Daily En-

Home Rule-The action, says the Nation, of
| the North Dublin Board of Guardians and of
the Metropolitan Corporation in reference to
supported through the country. The Corpora
ton of Limerick, the Town Commissioners of
Ballina and Trim, and the Galway and Tulla
Poor Law Boards, have all adopted identical
resolutions; and various other public Boards
| have either taken or initiated n similar manly
course of action. At Tulla, we are glad to re-
cord, the offensive declaration of Lord DIM
boyne, and the unwarranted inter ference of the
Poor Law Commissioners-well called an Eng
| lish bureau-received the summary treatment
which imperious dictation and meddlesome i'm
pertinence deserve from independent men and
| the Guardians not only adopted the resolution
| of the North Dublin, Union, but also carried
the following, which deserv es the careful study
of our public boards, and the approval of ali
| true Irishmcn:
That We cannot concur in the view of the
Commissioners that the question of Repeal
does not affect the financial prosperity of Ire
land, or that it has no connection with its poor
rate or its taxes. The vast strides in material
