Lord Clanricarde is again to the front
IN the congenial columns of the London
Times which not very long ago described
him as SO public danger and public
nuisance" The most ignoble marquis
Of the Dirty Shirt" writes an insolent
letter to the Evicted Tenants Commis,
sion to cover his own and his agents
ignominious retreat from public investl'
CATION, and complains OF this precious
document being "burked" by the Com
mission. One would have thought that
the Marquis OF Clanricarde would have
the prudence, if not the decency, to keep
clear of any such suggestion. He has
reason to know what "burking" docu-
ments really means. When his untortu-
nate agent, MIR. Blake, was shot for, as it
seems, wantonIy and cruelty pressing on
evictions while the Marquis was profes
sing forbearance, the widow of the un-
happy man proposed to publish the cor
respondence to justify the memory OF
her dead husband. But Lord Clanri-
oarde promptly interposed with Chan
Gerry injunction to prevent her. This
disting uished nobleman now writes gil
bly, of "burking" correspondence with
out shadow of ground for the sugges-
ton. .s

KILKENNY.
On the night Of November Odd, far
mer named Kirwan, residing at Bslly-
Ruarran, in the county Kilkenny, about
three miles from New Ross, had very
narrow escape from being drowned in
bog at Carrigcloney, or Ballyvarneen,
near Glenmore. He was going home on
foot from New Ross in the darkness of
the night, and walked into the bog, of
the road, at a place within one hundred
yards of the crossroads of Ballyvarneen.
The tide was coming into the place from
the river at the time. He yelled as loudly
as he could for help, and some children
hearing him, word was conveyed to the
nearest house, lwhen one OF the men ran
and rescued the man from what might
have proved his grave

year, therefore, resolved itself into con.
test between Mr.. Bryan O'Donnell and
Mr.. Cregan. The election took place on
Dec. LIST, and the contest was an exceed.
ingly close and exciting one, the num-
bers being equal when the division was
taken. In such case the right of Civ.
ing casting vote is vested in the senior
Aldermen instead,,of in the Mayor, as in
other Corporations. A discussion arose
as to whether the Aldermen who had
held Office for the greater number OF
years, or the Alderman representing the
most populous Ward should be regarded
