WATERFORD.
The Redmondites in Waterford have
! already fallen out among themselves.
At meeting, on February 2lst, of the
Waterford Young Ireland Society and
Independent Cuban organization es-
tablished some time ago by Mr.. John E..
Redmond, NJ P.-some members raised
q question about two can iidates for
membership. The proceedings became
exceedingly warm, and resolution was
eventually proposed that the election of
members be thrown open to the general
body (instead of the committee.) This
resolution was defeated by majority Of
one; and the minority cleared the rooms
NTH blackthorn sticks. The majority
Jared badly. AS result of what had oc-
Cured, on February 22d, an application
was made to Mr.. w. r. Ward, j. P, for
warrants for the arrest of two men.
About o'clock, on that day, deter
mined attempt was made to return to
the promises. A ladder was placed
against the wall, and man proceeded to
break in the first floor windows. He had
succeeded in making breach, when a
porter bottle thrown from the inside
caught him on the head. and felled him
stunned and bleeding to the ground.
Other bottles were thrown, and the at
tacking party retired discounted. The
police, who subsequently appeared on
the scene, we're, owing to the legal
aspect of the casa, powsrless TO eject the
minority, or interfere with the majority
in their attempt to obtain possession.
And so, at last accounts, the affair re-
NAMED.

WICKLOW.
On. February Dist, az extraordinary
escape from drowning was made by two
Arklow sailors named Patrick Murray,
mate OF the schooner Premier, and A.
Fitzpatrick, an able seaman of the same
vessel. They were proceeding in the d.
rection OF one Of the columns of the
! bridge to unloose cable, when the boat
in which they were upset. A Danish
schooner, the Gertrude, Lay close at hand,
and two of the sailors belonging to her,
on hearing the cries of the drowning
mon. lowered boat and were just in the
nick of time to save them. What makes
the incident extraordinary is the fact
that late in the evening, just as Lady
Aberdeen's party were proceeding to the
railway station, the crew of the Gertrude
were heaving the anchor, when the two
Danes who, in the morning, had saved
the two Arklow men, and who, in honor
of the fete, had taken some liquor, over
balanced themselves and one of them
fell into the water. The other, who was
as much. "under the influence" as his
mate, jumped in to save him; but to all
appearance both were drowning. The
two Arklow mon who had been rescued
in the morning by the Danes now low
cred their boat, and in turn saved the
men who had in the early part Of the
day saved them from Wa5ery grave.
