A dispatch from Kanturk, on Sep
TENDER 9th, says that the damage in
that district, caused by the storms of
the previous week, has been very dis
astrous. In most cases the oat and
wheat crop has been nearly entirely
lodged, while the hay crop, which at
best was light crop, had not been fully
saved, and has suffered seriously. The
greatest danger of all is the potato
crop, which 1t is feared will suffer ter
rib)y. In some cases whole fields Of 20
tatoes have been laid under water, and
it is dreaded that the blight may i'm
mediately appear.

Du1ing the second and third week Of
! August, several days and nights of
incessant rain were experienced in the
Newry district. On the night of Aug.
25th the climax was reached with full
gale, accompanied by deluge. Large
tracts of land are lying under water,
and the crops have suffered irreparable
damage, especially oats and wheat.
The potato crop is also damaged to a
serious extent. the blight which had al
ready appeared having spread rapidly
within a few days. The aubers are
soft and spongy and unfit for human
food.
DUBLIN.
The official returns in the official Ca
zette show that there were exported
from Ireland to Great Britain, during
the week ended August 22-Il ,4S7 cattle,
81 1920 sheep, 3, 1877 swine, SO goats, 5S7
horses and 4 asses. Total 50,6ll. To-
tai for the previous week, 50,356; and
for the corresponding week in 1890,
43, 061, And yet Ireland ever stands in
the shadow Of famine, and her children
are the world over to seek refuge in
every country OF the world.
The Land Purchase Commission has
given notice, that having already re-
ceived applications for advances in ex-
cess Of the sum Of e10, 100000 provided
by the Land Purchase Acts of 1856 and

celved from tenants DESTROYS of pur

enable them to do so except in cases
where the agreement or undertakings
for purchasing had been entered into
before the Goth of August.
GALWAY.
Early on the morning Of August 18th,
the police searched for arms in the
houses Of several farmers IN the Wood
ford district. They went through
several fields. and trampled Oh the
corn, but nothing was discovered. The
raid was regularly arranged, and a
descent was made on five different dis
tricts at tbs same time. Police were
drafted in for the purpose from many Of
the outlying districts and it is evident
that the authorities anticipated some
thing alarming, as the police prepare
lions were very secretly organized.
KERRY.
The reports from the various districts
Of Kerry, as to the condition of the
crops, render it difficult TO say what
may be the extent of the damage done
to the crops by the recent wet weather;
but the evidences of the corn being laid
