KINGS.
We sincerely regret to announce the
death of the good Mother Mary Monica,
Rectoress, of our Lady's Priory at
Clarenbridge. The sad event took place
on March 18th, to the inexpresslble
grief and sorrow of the pious com nun
ity, and indeed Of all VINO had known
the sanity religious who had just
passed to her eternal reward. The late
Mrs. Winter was a native Of Birr,
Kings county, and belonged to family
of great piety and responsibility. :rhe
death recently of her mother 80 whom
she was most tenderly attached, was a
serious blow to her: though her health
was failing for some time it was not an
ticlpated that the end would beso soon.
The deceased lady before coming to
Clarenbrldge was sister in the con-
vent Of Ballaghadereen where she was
greatly esteemed by the Bishop, Most
Rev. DR.. M acCormack, then ths Chief
Pastor of Achonry, who WAS much
grieved at the announcer snt OF her
death.
IEITRIM.
The Rev. 2. Kenney, who has been
curate in the parish Of Drumkeeran for
SIX or seven years, has been appointed
p. P. OF Ballinaglera. In Father
Keaney are combined the qualities Of a
Jealous priest, a thorough Nationalist
and a true friend of the people. He
has, for years, conducted with signal
success, the presidency OF the local
branch of the Irish National League as
It's existence is mainly due to his splen-
did energy and yigor. The people of
Ballinaglera have good reason to con-
graduate themselves having such a
pastor, and in entering On his new
duties, we cordially join in wishing him
the success he SO eminently deserves.

LOUrH.
We have learned with much regret
the news of the death, on March 14th,
Of the Rev. Thomas Allen, Of st. Mary's
parish. Drogheda. Although not un-
expected, for Father Allen had been
visiblY in failing health Tor a long time
past, the announcement Of his death
will be received wherever he was
known, with but one feeling deep re
greet at the passing from among the
living Of a priest so pre- eminently
worthy OF his great function. A ne
elected cold, contracted upwards Of a
year ago, developed into chronic lung
disease. which, with complications
from other organs, baff1sd medical
skill to avert a fatal termination.
Father Allen was in his 545h year. He
was born at Trim in 1886
MAYO.

After his arrival home he took suddenly
ill, and succumbed to it after two days

the Ball1na Poor Law Board, and was
remarkable for his sterling honesty and
sJraightf forward manner. The mem
bers Of the Board attepd ding on the 75h
inst. expressed their regret for losing q
ember OF their body who was unlyer-
sally regretted .13
