LEITRIM.
The tenant emancipation banner, raised
by Michael Davitt, at Irishtown, in 1873,
was unfurled again at Manorhamilton on
January 18th, by John Dillon. Never
since the earliest days of the Land
League agitation was there seen in the
west of Ireland more magnificent or q
more enthusiastic gathering. As John
Dillon said it reminded one of the old
days when neither rain. nor elect, nor
snow seemed to affect the people in the
least when they were fighting the battle
of Ireland. The men of North Leitram
were there from the sea at Bundutf to
Drumshalnbo at the southern limit OF
Tough Allen; and 10 one who looked
over the swaying masses that assembled
round the historic rock, at the old chapel,
could fail to see in the Intelligent faces
and the well-knit forms Of the assembled
thousands the stuff by which social revo-
lutions are wrought. Grandest and most
sublime of all was the towering figure OF
the venerable chairman, Very Rev. DR..
Mcguire, the veteran ecclesiastic of
Rrefm. More than forty years before
he had stood on the same spot to lift up

~ MAYO.
On the morning of Jan. 22d the people
OF Newport were shocked to learn that
an old and respected inhabitant of the
town, MIR. Patrick King, aged about Sc
years, had met his death under very sad
circumstances. Mr.. King had been en-
gagged for many years at Newport Mills
as, miller and millwright. On the above
morning he opened the mills as usual
and set the machinery in motion. About
nine O'Clock his assistant proceeded to
the top loft to consult with him about
some business and found his dead body
entangled in the machinery. He had
been caught, either by the shafting or
betting, and thus drawn into the machin-
cry. The deceased leaves two daughters,
one of whom is married. @+o g.
