DURTTN
We announce with much regret the
death Of Mr. r J. Hunter, which oc-
Cured on Sept. 9th, at the residence of
his friend, Mr.. Brindley, ID Upper Mer-
rion street, Dublin. Mr. Hunter was for
the best years of his life prominently
identified with the Irish turf, holding in
connection with it the most responsible
official positions. In private life he was
a most genial friend, and up to few
mouths ago a very slight solicitation
ID induce him to sing some of the
old Irish songs in which he SO much de-
lighted. He was born in November,
1905, so that had he lived until his next
birthday he would have reached the
patriarchal age OF 81 years.

the Inniskillng Fusiliers, who, it was
alleged, had died from injuries inflicted
by his housekeeper, Mrs. Cox. The
jury found that death was due to dis
eased brain, accelerated by blows, when
or by whom inflicted there was no evil
dence to show.
GALWAY.
Accounts from the West of ireland
bear out the statement made in these
columns, recently, regarding the condi-
ton of the harvest. A correspondent
writes as follows, in the course of letter
describing tine condition of the crops in
the counties of Mayo and Galway: "Turn
in what direction you may, the ravages
caused by floods and storms are every
where evident. The destructive effects
of the heavy rains are apparent on all
sides, Some of the fields, indeed, look
as if they had been subjected to the ac-
ton of weighty rollers, SO efectually have
they been laid; and in many places the
hay harvest will prove miserable failure.
KERRY.
The death is announced of the Rev.
Father Barrett, P. P, Ardea, which took
place at his residence on September 9Th.
Father Barrett was for many years parish
priest Of the united parishes of Ardea
and Lauragh, and he presided over all
matters spiritual with zeal and interest
proportionate to the great work in which
he was engaged. He had been IN ILL
health for some time past, but up to
within three weeks Of his death he never
swerved from performing all the enor-
NOUS duties devolving on pastor in his
position. He attended to his duties to
the last. On the 18th of August he
celebrated mass in Lauragh, and the day
being one OF unusual inclemency and
constant rain he contracted severe cold
which terminated in his death. The
funeral took place on September 8th,
and was very largely attended. The
crowds which focksd from all parts of
the surrounding parishes, as we'll as
from his own, showed that the deceased
clergyman was held in high esteem
among his parishioneers. Requiem High
Mass was celebrated in the morning,
when q large attendance was present at
