Irish farmers are threatened with g
new competitor IN the shape of Califor-
MIA barley. On September Dist, samples
of good mailing barley from California
were offered on the Dublin Corn Ex-
change at lis. Cd. a barrel, including car
rage. Other samples Of good quality
were offered at a sliding lower. French
barley had been selling previously for
IDS a barrel, and the wet harvest in Ire
land will spoil the quality of the Irish
grain for the new competition. 52

There is something of a water famine
in Tralee. The water works are the I'm

the filter beds have become dusty and
choked, With the result that the supply

Where the supply is to be had, it is com

An eviction has just been carried out
on the property of the Earl OF Mayo, in
the vicinity Of Mas. A man named An
thony Lyons was the tenant in question.
Lyons held hundred acres of indiffer-
emit land, the rent of which was very
high. The house he had lived in, for
years, was a very Indifferent zone; and
about two years ago or so he began to
erect a new house, which he had just
completed when the agent, Mr.. Fleet
wood Rynd, and the other officers of the
law, as representing Lord Mayo, arrived
to evict him. This was followed by re-
admitting the man and his family as
caretakers for the specified term of three
weeks. The next step was to take pos
session of the produce of the land, and
to cut down the crops standing on 1t.
Lyons was punctual in all bis engage
ments till this last year, and he only
asked time to clear up his small temper
airy debt-till November--which trivial
consideration was refused him. The
interest in his farm, together with the
outlay GU the valuable devastated four
roomed, two-story house which he
erected, unaided by the landlord, would
cover the present claim a hundredfold.
The landlord is nonresident proprie-
tor, and has lately laid down a portion
of his property in grass. The village of
Kill, on lord Mayo's property, is the
most dilapidated, neglected, and in gem
eral, woe-begone in all Ireland outside
the worst of the west of Donegal,
