from the Nation T
IrasgWGiion Of Chapel-on Sunday last o
special religious service took place in the Ca
tholic Chapel of Clogheen. The announce
ment was made in these words - Grand in
auguration of the new Altar Mt Clogheen, on
Sunday, 18th December, 1869. The sermon
will be preached by one of the most distin-
guished of Ireland's pulpit orators, Father
Buckley of Cork On that day the Celtic
Cross, lately erected to the memory of Father
Sheehy ,may be seem" Alarmed most proba-
bly, by the dire conjunction in so brief space
of an Altar q Sermon, and Cross, the Lord
Viscount Lsmore, Lieutenant of the County,
and absentee landholder, was driven to the ex-
ertion of his authority, and the consequences
was that on last Sunday, the pretty little town
occupied by troop of dragons, two COM
panies of infantry, and PIG police! The
''Royals" in on Saturday night-the
"Iiner on Sunday, morning-and the entire
force quartered in the military barrack,
dioining by plentifnlly portholed wall. But

gang aSlee." The Altar was inaugurated, the
Sermon was preached, the Cross was seen, the
people went home after aNhearty laugh at the
20 lieutenant. the inspectors, the patrols, and the
garrison, and when all was over, the "horse"
were spirited out by an unfreqnented bye-way,
aud the hapless foot" were marched back to
their quarters, through wind and rain, in state
of incipient mutiny.
Death Of the Rec. Michael PARTLY, PP.-We re-
greet to have to announce the death of the Rev.
Michael Varilly, the venerated pastor of Kill
shany, county Glare. On the night of Friday,
December B. consoled by the presence of many
brother priests, and strengthened by all the
consultations of religion, he breathed forth his
soul, having on his venerable head. the SHOWS
of 81 winters. Forty years he labDred in the
sanctuary, and in picturesque valley of Kill
shany he for thirty-tfve years discharged the
functions of parish priest. His fatherly con-
Germ for his flock comprehended not only their
spiritual but their temporal interests He
shared in their sorrows and rejoiced in their
good fortune. His hand and house We're ever
open to the widow and the orphan.
The Tenant Right Meeting in the Rotunda.-A-
tenant right meeting in connection with the
Irish Tenant League, was held iii the Round
Room of the RotHnda. There was very large
attendance. The proceedings were orderly
and characterized by great unanimity. Before
the meeting commenced, there were repeated
cheers for Tipperary and O'Donovan Rosa, NJ.
p. There also cheers for Longford and
John Martin. Mr.. Isaac Butt, Q. c., arrived
soon after s o'clock, and was received with the
most enthusiastic demonstrations of applause.
Planning the Cdm,pdign.-The genius of Lord
Strathnairn, it seems, has been called into re-
QUESTION again. He has lately spent some
time in tho South making the cleverest possi-
BILE arrangements for winter campaign against
an imaginary enemy. Seven flying columns
Englands seven sacraments for Ireland--are to
be formed without delay. The headquarters
of these paciiicntors are to be Tipperary, Cork,
Limerick FdTanoy, Ennis, and Athlone.
''ReintorcemeRts"- English garrison in
Ireland has been largely reinforced during tho
past week. The troopship Simeon arrived at
Kingstown from Pl ymonth, bringing the first
battalion of the 2Oth Regiment. "Sincc this
regiment was last among u.s." says of our
dailies, sit has been i'll the Canadas, served
i'll the Crimcan campaign, and distinguished
itself in the Indian Mutiny of 1857" This lat
ter fact OF course, goes to show the fitness of
the regiment for serving in Ireland. Soldiers
who took part in blowing tire uIttiaous Sepays
from the mouths OF cannon are supposed to be
Just the sort OF fellows for quieting .such trou-
blesome customers as the electors who voted
for O'Donovan Rosa and made him member
of Parliament.
Remarkable 'Hords.-The following passage
from splendid speech delivered at the Cur
ragh tenant meeting, by the Rev. Felix Treacy,
PIP, OF Ballyna, deserves the best attention of
all concerned: " Let this go forth that the
- conclusion at which you arrive is that security
is ixty, and tiXity is security and let the Kill
dare programme be no rack rents, no notices to
quit, no capriciuus cvictors. Aye, no tyranny
. in amy walk of life-no tyrant landlord,
tyrant tenant either (for the tenant will have
his duties to discharge rs well as the landlord
tenancy has its duties as well as its rights,
and, may l be permitted to add, no tyTaut
priest for must say with difficulty and pain,
there are such occurrences most unwaTrant-
able altar denunciations. L have recently
heard of one most grossly violating not only
the statue law of the diocese in which it oc-
cured but the commonest principles of jus
tice, and ontraging every feeling of Christian
charity and private friendship. Oh, if tyran
ny were unknown in every grade of society we
should soon have halcyon days in Ireland"
-Se-eaIled Is.1id-toE-t y 7o4bLiIl.-
On Tuesday, Dublin was startled by the news
that at early on that morning two daring
raids for arms had been made on gunsmith's
shops in the city. These were the establish
ment of Mr. John Parkinson, Il Arran-quay,
and that of Mr.. Bowling, 81 Dame street. It,
is said that in both cases shots were fired by
the ''raiders" at the shop assistants, but there
is something very dubious about the whole
story. Almost immediately opposite to DIR.
Dowling's establishment is the detective office,
yet forty minutes elapsed before a word of the
affair was carried to that place. Then it is
simply absurd to say, that if shots were fred
at the shop assistants, with intent to kill or
wound them by men standing within n
few yards of them, evil consequences
would buvc-resuftet- Fefy-papeFs+
speak of this affair a Fenian outrage We
find it almost impossible to believe that Feni-
mans had any thing to do with it. Such per-
Torrance at this particular time would amount
to positive iunacy on their part. Saunders
profoundly says the occurrence, in it's opinion,
Fproves that there are still numbers of disloyal
men actually engaged in the organization of
the Fenian conspiracy, and it looks almost as
if they were preparing to make another at
tempt to disturb the peace of the country"
Fancy the imminence of an insurrection being
indicated by the abstraction OF two old pistols
