near the Ormonde road under the pat
lsronage OF the Most Rev DR.. BroWnrigg,
Bishop Of Ossory The industry is solely
intended for the benefit Of the girls Of
the neighborhood, every profit derived
being expended in their interests. It
was begun with seven looms on, the 14th
ISeptember, 1891, and q competent In
structor, from the firm Of Ewart, Bel
fast, was secured. Other looms have
isince been added, so that several girls
are employed. Further extension is IN
contemplation. In establishing the IN
dustry large expense has been incurred,
and much labor expended. The Sisters
will, however, feel amply rewarded in
the many advantages that must accrue
to the district il the industry becomes q
permanent success.
LEITRIM.
Mr.. Francis La Touche, ). r., Droma-
hair, who has for nearly thirty years
been the agent on the Dane Fox and
Cullen estates, in South Leitrim, has re-
Gently retired from the management OF
those properties. The immediate cause
of Mr.. La Touches withdrawal was the
death Of his only brother-the last Of
six-and the consequent necessity for
his looking after the property left to him
in Wicklow As, agents went, Mr.. La
Touche was not unpopular with the ten
antry over whom he ruled, and many of
the1n will bear him in kindly remem-
brance. For one act Of his the Catholics
of Drumlese PARISH feel grateful, and
that was the obtaining for them Of the
site of the present elegant little church
which the energy of Rev. DR.. Cormack
McSharry, and the zeal and generosity
of his congregation have caused to be
erected. Mr. LaTouche has been sue
ceeded by Mr.. Wilton Waugh, who has
now the management of three pro-
perties, Lord Massy's, Mr.. Lane Fox's
and Cu}ien's.
LIMERICK.
A movement has been initiated for the
improvement and renewal Of the road
leading from the Spa, at Castleconnell,
to the Worlds End, work much re-

for years. Mr.. William Cough Gubbine,
Of Stradbally Cottage, made application
for presentment to the county, but was
refused, the road not coming within the
grand jury act, having no outlet except
through the Worlds End. Mr.. Gubbins
has raised subscription among the resi-
dents Of Castleconnell and neighbor
hood; the work is already commenced,
and he hopes to have it finished by the
end of June.

his parishioners.
MEATH.
On May 18th, in the Vice. Chancellor
Court, Dublin, in the case Of Taaffe V.
Fitzsimmons, Mr.. Miles Kehoe applied
on behalf of the plaintiff, Mr.. James
Tagffe, that an order Of attachment issue
against the Rev. Father Fltzslr:mOns, a
Catholic clergyman in the County Of
Meath, and Mrs. Kate Gibney, to show
cause why they should not be COM
mitted for contempt of court, because
they failed, as administrator and admin
istratrix Of the late Peter Taaffe, to
lodge in court q sum of G31O to the credit
Of the plaintiff. It appeared that, on
the death OF Peter Taafe, his widow,
under the terms Of his will, entered into
possession of q farm and public house,
his property, for her life; and that after
her death the property was left to the
a cousin. The plaintiff alleged
