KILKENNY.
We regret to have to announce the
death of the Rev. Thomas Walshe, OF
the diocese of Stafford, England. The
deceased, who was we'll known in Man
chester, was nearly twelve years attached
to the mission of our Lady of Mount
Carmel, and was also stationed at st.
Augustine, Stafford. Two years ago he
caught influenza, from which he never
properly recovered, and was compelled
to resign missionary work last spring.
Ever since he has been staying with
relatives in Ireland, and died on the 9th
ult. at the residence of his sister at Kill

in the churchyard of his native parish.
Father Walshe is deeply regretted by a
large circle of friends in England and
Ireland.
