Holy Ghost and the Immaculate Heart
of Mary, whose central house in Ireland
is Blackrock College, mourn the early
demise Of very promising young mem
Der of their Order, the Rev. j. Norris
who died on Jan. Cd, at St. Mary's Col
lege, Rathmines. He was native OF
Clonmel, studied at Rockwell College,
Cashel, and later on crossed to Paris to
pursue his philosophical and theological
studies. As he was not very robust his
medical advisers deemed q milder CHI
mate more suitable, and his superiors
sent him to Braga, in Portugal. He was
ordained in Paris in July. 80, and after
his religious profession in the August of
the same year he was sent as bursar to
st. Mary's College, Rathmines, which
was then being opened. While there his
genial disposition and amiable character
made him a favorlte with his confreres,
and endeared him to the priests and lay
men who had the pleasure of his friend
ship or acquaintane. His premature
death at the early age of 81 years casts
a deep gloom over Saint Mary's College,
where he hoped to toll indefatigably for
many years to come.

Very deep aud general regret was felt
in Coalisland at tho announcement of
the death of the Rev. James Breslln, P.
F., Clonoe, which occurred on the morn
ing of January I'd. The deceased c1er-
gymen, who had reached 70 years Of age,
had been in failing health for several
months, but fatal result was not anti
cipated until the Tuesday after Christ
mas, when a decided change for the
worse occurred He then received the
last sacraments of the Church, and, re-
manning conscious all through, he patient
| " awaited the end. The deceased (who
was native of Loughgall, county Ar
magh), was educated in the Irish Col
lege, Paris, and ordained in 1874. He
acted as curate, successively, in the par
ishes of Lissan, Moy and Forkhill; and
then, nearly thirty years ago, he was ap-
pointed P. P. of Clonoe, where he since
labored. Father Breslin was always ac-
tive, Jealous, and untiring in the dis
charge Of his duties, and in every place
| where he labored, during his ministry OF
over fifty years, he won, in very high
| measure, the esteem; love and gratitude
of his people. Personally he was mild,
gentle, and kind-hearted, with hand
Ialways ready to relieve distress. May
he rest in peace
