Tho moving Bog Of Dunmore.

Tho Moving Bog of Dunmore.
A curious phenomenon has recently
occurred in Ireland-the bursting of the
bog of Dunmore-concerning which Mr..
W. lie Poer Trench, after visiting the
locality, writes the following to the London
Times:
~ DUNMoRE, October, 1873.
On the 1st instant the farmer occupying
the farm on Corrabel stream nearest the
bog was digging his potatoes, when he sud-
denly observed q brown mass approaching
him. He left his spade in the ground and
went for the neighbors. On his return the
mass (which was the moving bog) had half
covered his potato-field and completely hid
den his field of corn, with the exception of
a few shocks which happened to be situated
upon knoll or rising ground, and where
they still remain, an island in the middle
of scene Of desolation.
This was but the commencement. Since
thenthe bog has continued to advance in a
rolling mass down the valley toward the
village of Dunmore, burying on its way
three farm-houses, and covering nearly two
hundred acres of arabic and pastare land !,
in some places to depth of six feet. The
unfortunate occupants of these three farms
have been turned, by this melancholy visi-
tation of Providence, farmless and home
less, with their families on the world.
At Dunmore small bridge has been re-
moved near the junction of the Corrabel
stream with the Dunmore river to afford re.
lief to the lands up the valley, and the bog
laden torrent is being discharged into the
river. The worst may be said to be over, but
the discharging powers of the river will be
materially afe tied by this influx ofsolid mat
ter. The source of this disaster presented
wonderful appearance. The subsistence at
the discharging point cannot be less than
thirty-fiye feet. The extent of the bog af-
fected is very clearly defined by series of
black "crevasses.' where the upper crust
of the bog has by the subsistence below
been torn asunder. The whole assumes
the form of crater half a mile in diame-
ter. With considerable difficulty we pi-
loted our way to the centre, where we
found the brown liquid bog boiling out
like a stream of lava and feeding the NOV
ing mass in the valley below AT the
point where the bog bursts its banks
the tough sods of the turf were torn up
and hurled by the force Of the current
around on either side, assuming somewhat
the appearance of ''moraines.

ST. ANDREWS DAY.-Thc anniver
sary. OF st. Andrew, the patron saint O
Scotland, occurred yesterday Sunday
| November 30th, and falling on the sacreC
day it did, will doubtless be observed to.
day by all Scotchmen with the rites and
ceremonies usually incident to such an oe.
casion. November 3Oth in the church cal.
endar is the festival of St. Andrew. The
first called of the Apostles, whose name
heads the roll of Saints whom the Church
delights especially to honor as having been
pre-emlnent for their devotion to the 'Di-
vine Master. In the arrangement of the
Times and seasons of what is known as the
Christian year, st. Andrews Day has the
honor Of marking the approach of the sea-
son OF Advent, preparatory to the
festival OF Christmas. Having been
the first called of the Twelve Apos-
Ties, it seems to be fitting that the
church, in honorIng his virtues, should as
socate his memory with the commemora-
ton of the Advent of the Saviour, whose
calling he (St. Andrew so readily obeyed,
iorsaking all, and following Jesus without
delay. Henceit comes that Advent, or the
season preceding Christmas, begins with
the Sunday nearest to st. Andrews Day.
This year st. Andrews Day falling on
Sunday, brings that festival and the first
sunday OF the Advent season together.
and therefore yesterday was the ''First Sum
DAY In Advent" as well as st. Andrews
Day. st. Andrew, as the Gospel records
show, was the brother of the Apostle st,
Peter, to whom he was the first to make
known the fact that they had ''found
the Messiah" After that he had
heard st. John the Baptist
proclaim the Divine mission of the
Saviour. There seems to be very little
known of the subsequent history of st. |
Andrew. Tradition speaks of HIM as hav-
ing been very laborious, preaching the
Gospel in Achaia, and also in Northern
Europe, among the ScythMns, and as hav-
ing finally met a martyrs death by being
crucified at Patras, in Achaia, a. d. 60.
The festival in his honor was instituted
about the year 359. The selection of st.
Andrew as the titular Saint of Scotland is
said to have arisen from on incident re-
ated of Hungus, the Pictish prince, who
claimed to have dreamed that st. Andrew
visited him and promised to aid and protect
nm in battle which 10 was about to fight
With Northumbrians. The tradition is, that
iuring battle the sign of st. Andrews cross
vas seen in the air, and that thereupon
Hungus conquered his foes. Upon this
egend, it is said by some historians, King
Achalas |. founded the "Order of the This.
le," in 300, when that monarch made an
!lliance with Charlemagne, taking the this
le for his device. This Order Of Knight
:ood was revived by James ", 1910. AT
he time of the Reformation the Order was
but James III. Of Scotland,
md the II. of England, revived it by MAX
ng eight knights, who were proclaimed
day 29th, 1867. Queen Anne increased
his number to twelve in 1903, and George
", in 1927, further increased the number
0 sixteen.

We do wish that people who attend church
