A Dublin dispatch gives an incident of
boycotting which recently took place at n
funeral, near McCrom, County Cork. where

charge of the missionary work of the Lat
ter-Day Saints in the Southern States. saws
the work is going gloriously on with them,

anticipate that the change will even solve
the problem of the removal of Chinatown,
as | street will become valuable for better
and more acceptable purposes than that for
which it is now occupied.
