The announcement Of the appoint
ment of the Rev. D. Fogarty, Adm.
Ennis, to the pastoral charge of the
parish of Toomevarra, will be heard
with feeling of pleasure by the people
OF Ennis, not unmingled with regret at
the loss of so good priest. AT one OF
the Masses on Sunday, November III,
in the parish church, the reverend gen.
tleman referred to his departure in
brief but feeling terms. Of Father
Fogarty, says the Glare Journal, it may,
without exaggeration, be said that he
was eminently a good citizen and d.
vina, and during his missionary labors
in our midst he has won the esteem of
upright and enlightened minds for his
intellectual and moral excellencies, and
the gratitude Of the poor whom he has
so long served spiritually automatically.
We heartily wish him God-speed to his
new sphere of labor.
