We regret to announce the dea tn after
a few days illness, Ut the Very Rev. j..
O'Brien, Prior OF the Augustinian Order,
Fethard, which occurred on August 81.
Father O'Brien was native OF Callan,
and belonged to an ancient and historic
family. He succeeded Father Amber
son. 0. S. A., as Prior in Fethard, in
July 1891. When Father Anderson,
now Prior in Limerick, went on the
Australian mission in behalf of the Ma
tional church in Rome, Father O'Brien
was sent to Fethar I'd from Galway. The
deceased was comparatively young, be-
ing only As years Of age. He commenced
his studies in Callan, and then proceeded
to Client and afterwards to Rome about
Is years ago, and was shortly afterwards
ordained in Cork. His principal mis-
sions were Cork, Limerick and Fethard.
where he completed the magnificent
church which Father Anderson had
commenced; and he succeeded in win
ming the reve ence and affection Of the
whole community. All classes in the
community deeply dsplore his loss. He
was, indeed, devoted priest and sterl-
ing man. Two. brothers of Father
O'Brien distinguished themselves in the
Order of st. Augustine. His brother,
the Very Rev. Patrick O'Brien, was
Prior in New Ross, and his second
brother Prior in Dungatvan, he himself
being the youngest of the three.

WILD PIGEONS.


Tho Immense Flight of the Birds Seen by .
Man In Michigan.
The largest nesting he ever visited
was in 1873 or 1877. 1t began near Pc
tosky and extended northeast past
Crooked lake for twenty-eight miles,
averaging three or four miles wide.
The birds arrived in two separate
bodies, one directly from the south by
land. the other following the east
coast of Wisconsin and crossing at
Manitou Island. He saw the latter
body come in from the lake at about
o'clock in the afternoon. 1t was a COM
pact mass of pigeons, at least Ave
miles long by one mile wide. The birds
began building when the snow was
twelve inches deep in the woods, al
though the fields were bare at the time.
So rapidly did the colony extend its
boundaries that it soon passed literally
over and around the place where he
was netting, although, when he began,
this point was several miles from the
nearest nest. Nestings usually start
in deciduous woods, but during their
progress the pigeons do not skip any
kind of trees they encounter. The Pc
tosky nesting extended eight miles
through hardwood. timber, then
crossed river bottom, wooded with
arbor vita, and thence stretched
through white-pine woods about
twenty miles For the entire distance
of twenty-eight miles every tree of any
size had more or less nests, and many
trees were filed with them. None was
lower than about fifteen feet above the
ground.
At least five hundred men were en-
gagged in netting pigeons during the
great Petosky nesting of 1881. Mr..
Stevens thought they may have cap
tured on an average twenty thousand
birds apiece during the season. Some
times two carloads were shipped south
ON the railroad each day. Neverthe-
less, he believed that not one bird in .
thousand was taken. Hawks and owls
often abound near the nesting. Owls
can be heard hooting there all night

OVER A PREcIPIcE.
A PerIlous Attempt to Obtain . Peruvian
Mummy.

A PerIlous Attempt to Obtain . Peruvian
Mummy.
Explorers have found great many
mummies in caves in cliffs among the
Peruvian mountains. How the Indians
who entombed their dead in this way
reached the caves hundreds of feet
down the side of steep cliffs is matter
of conjecture. A French traveller, NJ.
Weiner, narrates q visit to one of these
sepulchres and the serious danger he
was in of ending his travels then and
there.
81 went with two Indians" he
writes, ''to a point on a high plateau
below which was one of the caves, and
had the Indians lower me over the
precipice with leather ropes. A jour
ney of a hundred meters straight
downward, made in such a way, is ex-
traordinarily long. l arrived at last
at the tomb. 1t was half closed with
rocks. / went in and found two skulls
and mummy. tied the skulls to my
belt, and taking the mummy in my
arms, gave the signal for the Indians
to draw me up.
They obeyed, and gradually l
neared the top of the precipice. The
Indians had not looked over it and had
no suspicion of what was bringing in
my arms. When the yellow skull of
their ancient ancestor appeared above
the edge of the cliff the Indians were
terribly frightened and let slip the
ropes.
81 cannot describe my feelings in the
next second, the awful terror of begin
ming to fall. In my fright let go Of
the mummy, and it was dashed into =
thousand pieces at the bottom of the
abyss. But the Indians had not lost
their hold of the ropes; they drew me
up again, and in a moment stood in
safety at the top of the precipice.
'My superstitious Indians explained
to me that when those good people,
the mummies, are disturbed by Indians
they seize them in fatal embrace, and
they assured me that, as this mummy's
head rose into their sight, it opened its
mouth and would have uttered fear
full curse upon them had it not just
then been dashed to the bottom of the
sbyss.-Youth's Companion.

which they had never heard. 1t filed
the pauses of the other songs, and glor-
fled them
When the last notes died away, they
stood hushed and awed, and their faces
shone like the faces of the choir men.
They said: ''Sing us again that new
song" But the singer answered, smil-
ingly: NAY, you must learn your own
songs first. Then will sing you the
new one, completing your harmonies
with the master song" The villagers,
still clasping each others hands, with
their hearts full of joy and love of the
singer, cried out, eagerly: "Give us
again our old songs, that we may learn
to sing them Alright"
He, still smiling, took from the choir
men the fresh scrolls written in his own
hand, and gave them to the villagers.
Then they went slowly back to their
quiet valley. But the singer stood
long in his study window, looking down
upon them from the cliff. He smiled
gently, and said softly to himself:
"Bide thou, and never be impatient"

ple.-Christian Union.

If by chance anyone grew weary and
his hope failed, or if, cast down for the
moment, he feared that the singer
might not, after all, return, he would
reassure himself, saying: "How grand
will the whole chorus sound!" Some
times, too, one became spiritless and
discouraged over his task, rebelling at
his discords. Then would another say
to him: ''Shall then the singer when
he comes be disappointed in thee?
What if, lacking thy one part, the
whole opera should waltz" Thus they
cheered each other
AS the seasons wancd, however, and
the singer came not, the little doubts
began to grow stronger, the little dis
couragements were less easily recovered
from, and even (among the more indo-
lent of the villagers) could be heard
mr-murs. ''Of what use," they grum-
bled, rs this trill here and that note
there? l never can sing it in that way;
no one will know if leave it out" An
other was holder still. 81 will not
trouble myself with that phrase" he
would say: II will write it over to suit

than the rest, cried out: 'Oh the stupid

but l have quite overgrown it. am
sick of it's old drone. will make an
other like it, but more varied and bet
