teen years Of age. climbed through thel
ekylight on the roof Of his fathers house
in Narrow West street, Drogheda, in
search of a ball belonging to another
youth named McAvoy. On getting on to
the roof, he lost his balance, and came
all-fours sliding down the root, on which
there is neither gutter nor parapet wall.
He toppled over and fell to the ground,
a distance Of some thirty feet. The little
fellow had miraculous escape. He fell
right on his face, all his front teeth be-
ing KIN. cked out; but, with the exception
OF the injuries to his face, he appears to
have come off pretty safe.

We regret to announce that the Rev.
Hugh Conway, p, of Lacken, died at
his residence on March 18th, after pro-
tracted illness, in the 63rd year Of his
age and the 26th of his ministry. Father
Conway was educated in Maynooth, and
after the usual course of studies there
was ordained for his native diocese, and
was sent to the parish of Kilcommon,
where he spent ten years, and where his
characteristic benevolence and charity
endeared him to the people by whom
the ,reeollecti of his ministry is still
retained affectionate remembrance.
From this curary he was sent to, Skreen,
where he was curate to his uncle. the
Most Rev. DR.. Conway, the present
Bishop of the diocese. After a short
time in Skreen he was appointed parish
priest of Lacken, where for the last
twenty-five years he ministered with pas
toral zeal and sanctity to the spiritual
wants Of his flock, aud watched over their
interests with true paternal care.

the death. at the early age of 20 years, of
John Patrick Harte, son of Mr.. DOM

youth contracted severe cold in Bost on,
Mass, and for the benefit of his health it
was thought advisable to send him home,
as the more congenial atmosphere of his
native country might resusoitate him;
but the long passage, together with the
tedious journey to his native town only
helped to impair his health, and on the
18th of March he died.
