Legend Of the Olough Nor.

The Clough Nor, or Great stone, from
which the mountain of Cloughmore
near r. streyor, is named, is huge
granite boulder estimated to weigh
forty tons. The peasants have legend
as to how it got there. The ''correct
story" according to one of them, is to
the following effect: Finn MacComhal
lived for some time in these parts. A
Scotch giant, bearing OF him, came
over, nominalIy to pay visit of friend
ship to his Irish comrade, but in reality
to endeavor to kill him, for he was jea-
lous Of his reputation. The pair did
not long agree very we'll together. A
quarrel arose Ole day, when Finn was
on Carlingford mountain, and the
Scotch giant Oh the mountain on the
the other side Of the bay. Hostilitles
commencing, Finn picked up the gran
ite boulder and threw it across at the
Scotchman, who was so frightened that
he fed away home, and the great stone
remained where it alighted ever since.

Jews First Located in the Irish Capital.

It is not very certain when the Jews
first established themselves in Dublin.
There is reason to believe, however,
that it was in the time of Cromwell,
who invited several Portuguese Jews to
settle there. Soon after their arrival
thsey established a synagogue in Crane
Lane. In 1747 a bill was passed in the
Irish House of Commons naturalizing
persons protesting the Hebrew faith,
which was presented to the Lord Lieu
tenant to be forwarded to the English
king. 1t did not, however, receive the
royal" assent in consequence Of the
popular clamor raised in England
against the measure.
