VICE REGAL LODGE DUBLIN,
SIR:-Again have the pleasure Of thanking
you for your most kind letter and for q further
remittance Of IS dollars towards my Irish Relief
Fund. am truly thankful for The great sue
cess which has attended the efforts of our COM
mittee Our fund was the cause Of other funds.
and called attention to the deplorabIe state that
@ series of bad seasons had brought Ireland to.
The total loss Of credit, due in great measure
to agitators, added to the sad position Of affairs
and but for the great benevolence Of the Eng
lish public and Of the whole world to Ireland,
there must have been positive famine. Thank
God it has been arrested and If we are blessed
with a good harvest. I trust sunshine will re-
turn to the nation. The reputation Of debt,
and the general discomfort which is thereby
encouraged, must bring trouble, fear. We
must hope for the best and that the poor, mis-
guided people will yet learn to know their best
friends. You must convey our thanks to the
kind donors of the donation from Staunton,
and tell them that besides feeding the people,
we have been enabled to buy large quantity
of seed and also great supply Of clothing and
distribute it among the destitute, and begging
you again to accept the thanks Of the ladies Of
Ireland, remain, yours faithfully,
II. %. MARLBOROUGH.

Saturday week. Mr.. Daniel Colaw. who lives in
Crabbottom, not far from Crabbottom Mills
went with his son to the mountain to hunt and
salt his CATTLE leaving Mrs. Colaw ana the chill
dren, the largest a little girl about ten years
old, at the house. Some time during the day
Mrs. Colaw found it necessary to go to the store
about mile distant for some articles, and left
the little girl and baby at the house, which
during her absence caught fire and was entire
ly destroyed with all its contents, except q
sewing machi1G, which the little girl in her
fright and terror managed to got out of the
house. In her excitement she came near leRy-
ing the baby, which was asleep in the cradle
In the house, but thinking of it brought 1t out
as the roof fell in.
The family loses everything in the way of
household goods. and the loss must be consid-
ersbie, as Mr.. Colaw is one of the thriftiest
farmers in that SECTION.
