GALWAY.
The death is announced of Lord Dun.
sand]e, at the advanced age of 50 years.
Lord Dunsandle was an extensive land
owner in Galway, and for the most part
resided on his estate, Though vari us
acts Of hardship have, from time to time,
been alleged against him, and though he
has come into conflict withf ibis tenants
on the question Of abatement, these dis
putes, owing to the skilful management
of Mr.. DAILY, his son and agent, we're
never of long du ration. Lord Dunsandle
could not be described as good land
lord. In other countries very differ
emit epithet might be applied; but, every
thing is comparative, and, in comparison
with the neighboring estate of the Mar
quis of Clanricarde, Lord Dunsanale's
treatment of his tenants might almost
be called reasonable. Various circum-
stances lead to the belief that possibly
some difficulties, and even litigation, may
arise with regard to the large landed
property he leaves behind him.
KERRY.
A very tragic occurrence took place
near Dungagon, about ten miles from
Cahirclveen, on the night of january 4,
resulting in the instantaneous death of a
young man named John MCCARTHY, and,
it is feared, the fatal wounding of his
brother, Patrick MCCARTHY. The two
young men were returning home to their
residence at Paharan South, when, at
Dungagon, they were overtaken by two
brothers named Jeremiah and Patrick
Shea, who were also in cart re-
urning home to Paharan South, from
their mothers funeral. From what
ever cause, and alteration and
fight arose between the parties, in
the course of which John Mccarthy.
got several severe stabs of knife in the
abdomen, one stab in the right side and
the other in the left. Patrick M cCarthy
who was sitting on the front of the cart,
got fearful stab in the abdomen and
another in the thigh. John Mccarthy
bled to death in less than half an hour,
80 that when brought home by his
friends he was corpse. \, Patrick kept
his knee pressed TO the wound in his ab-
domen, by which means the bleeding
stopped, and he was still living, but it is
feared he will die OF exhaustion Jere-
miah Shea has been arrested, but his
brother, Patrick Shea, has absconded,
ana the police are securing the district
for him. The Sheas and McCarthys were
first aud second cousins. Another
young man, named Sullivan, who, it is
alleged, happened to be at the old
woman's funeral, has been arrested in
connection with the occurrence.

csllan, reports the death of one of his
parishioners at the aga of Ito years. He
