oRANGEIsM.
The Orange anniversary Of the LIST Of
July has passed over in Ireland with COM
parative quiet. The Orangemen were not
SO violent or so vociferous In the nantes
tation of their bad spirit that day, as on
all former occasions. Derry was not this
year the scene of riot and blOodshed, and
in other parts of Ulster the sanguipary
fraternity were much better behaved than
usual. OF course. nobody expected that
the day would pass off without an Orange
outrage somewhere, and in Lurgan the
Orangemen did make an illegal display,
DID play party tunes, did exhibit party col
ors, and did break the peace. They resist
ed and routed the police, and set the mag
istrates and their proclamation at defiance.
we have not heard that the Orangemen
committed murder or wrecked houses on
the 1st July, 1871. That is an event to be
remembered.

sTRoKEsTowN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
We are glad to perceive that the above
church Commenced some years ago by the
late Dean McDermott) has been completed
in o superior style 10y the present worthy
pastor, Very Rev. P. Kelly, P. p, v. r.
The interior decorations of the building
are very fine, whilst the exterior presents
an imposing appearance. A large cross, of
the old Irish type, surmounts the front of
the edifice, and though, from the immense
height at which it stands, it would seem
not of remarkable size, still it is over six
feet high. On the whole there can be no
doubt that few churches-at least in small
country towns, can be got to surpass that
of Strokestown in extent and beauty.
