cause Of temperance, and whose mission
lies amongst the poor miners, who work IN
the romantic valley immortalixed by Moore
had the consolation on the 9th ult., of wit
Messing the success of a movement under
taken in his parish, and under, his patron
age, by the Temperance Union. The de-
monstration was the frat Of series which
it is contemplated to hold in various coun-
try districts in support of the Sunday clos
ing OF public-houses and the Permisslve
Bills. Tie first Of the series was most 1T
tingly held in the parish of Avoca, because
the worthy and esteemed pastor has made
himself distinguished amongst the clergy
by lifelong advocacy of total abstinence
principles. A procession was formed on
the arrival of the midday train from Dub
lin, aud the immense assembly, testifying
by their numbers to the interest they took
in the proceeding, walked to the lawn Of
the parish priests residence, where q meet
ing was held aud resolutions adopted in
favor of the two Rills-the entire parish
thus practically declaring that they desired
the removal of temptation from amongst
them.
APPEAL FOR ST. rACL's, LONDON.
The Mayor of Kilkenny calls attention
to What he fairly calls a cool request from
the Lord Mayor of London that he and
others in Ireland should contribute to the
redecoration of st. Paul's Cathedral, Lon
don. And further that he would call a
meeting for the parpose of collecting
money for the same purpose. The hiIken-
ay Journal furnishes reply to the demand
"Withn the last 30 years" says that paper,
Kilkenny has expended nearly fl50, 600,
even in the midst of its poverty, in the
erection of churches and educational insti-
tutions, besides maintaining it's clergy re-
| Specially"
SMALL POS IN DUBLIN.
The number of deaths in Dublin known
to have been caused by Small Pox during
the present epidemic has reached 1000. A
! most influential meeting Of the citizens
was held in tue Mansion Honse, and a
deputation therefrom waited on the Cor
| poration to request that immediate steps
should be taken to establish q convalescent
home for those discharged from the hospi-
tails. The Corporation addressed them
selves energetically to the subject, and
| such an institution Is to be established
forthwith.
IN DUBLIN.
This exhibition will be opened in May,
and promises to oe great success. The
number of pictures and objects of art lent
exceed the most sanguine expectation of
the promoters.
TIE COADJUToR BISHOP OF ossoRY.
The numerous friends of Mgr. Moran
have awaited themselves of the opportunity
offered by his elevation to the episcopate to
express their appreciation of his worth and
their admiration of his literary talents, by
presenting him with a testimonial of their
esteem. A committee having been formed
| and subscription list opened, the amount
at once subscribed reached the handsome
sum Of fe00, which is very practical evil
dence of the warm regard in which his
lordship is held by the clergy and laity.
PROGRESS OF WATERFORD.
Every stranger who has witnessed our
been struck by the forest of masts which
appeared over our deep and noble river.
The question need hardly be asked-what
brought them there7 Vessels don't come
into port without basiness-hepce, it is
apparent that there must be an increased
amount of traffic in this city: Between the
carriage of largo blocks of ice from Nor
way, and grain from many parts of the
world, there were numerous men and
horses engaged on the quay during the
week. The large quantities of cattle and
bacon being daily exported, as also poul-
try, fish, ETC., show the enormous trade of
our port. The extension of the quays
above bridge, as also the new stores lately
erected, indicate the progress Of Waterford.
But there is nothing that we remember
which will serve Waterford SO much as the
new Waterford county railway, soon to he
commenced-Ners, April 18Th.
Protestant Popery in Dublin.-The Rev.
w. Ma:urin, OF All Satu@s Glebe, Phibs-
borough Road, in "the county of the city
of Dublin" has been and done it." No
less than nine charges of "Papal practices"
are brought against him in the Diocesan
Court. And terrible charges they are
much worse than those brought by Jack
Cade against the Clerk of Chatam. Dr.
Maturin is not accused of the enormity of
setting boys copies," or of " forbidding
the pint pot to hold quart" but yet he
positively did this On the 2sth January,
the 1ith and 18th February, 1872, he had
his back turned to the people in the church
of Grangegorman. I'd. Some of the people
on the same day did not see him break the

intoned, and allowed others to intone. 4th.
He knelt down. 5th. In place of al fair
white linen cloth on the table, there was
one embroidered with lace. 9th. And
there was across upon it, and over it an

Emigration.-The emigration season has
