Three deaths from famine have Oc-
CURED near Newport, county Mayo,
and it is reported that many persons
have been stricken with famine fever,
and that all the seed potatoes have
been consumed by the starving people.
The shopkeepers are on the verge of
bankruptcy, and refuse credit not only
to the peasantry, but to the priests
themselves. At Achill numbers would
have died of starvation but for the re-
lief fund raised iu New York.

OF Mr.. Bonown, Louisburgh, and
mother of the Archbishop of Tuam,

necessarily rends . bond Of family,
union. During the protracted period
of her delicacy, caused alone by the
weakness of old age, she was tended
with tenderness that bespoke true
flial piety, and which was inspired by
the exalted reverence In which she was
held by her family. She lived to the
great age of 100 years.
