The news recorded in our Irish obituary
Of the death Of Mr.. Stephen Curtis, G. c.
will bedrece:yed with deep regret. There
was no man more respected by his pro-
fession and by the public. Respect. is.
indeed; q somewhat cold word to describe
the feeling which Mr.. Curtis was regard
ed His unaffected and genial courtesy
won him universal courtesy. He was an
able and learned lawyer, and a classical
scholar of almost unrivaled excellence.
The death, some time since, of his son, a
youngz Jesrliteo most brilliant promise,
seemed to prey terribly on his spirits and
health, which, had heretofore been ex-
cepft: 6Snally vigorous for one of his age,
and probably fastened his demise.

brutal crime was committed at Golden
Bridge, whereby an old woman named
Bridget Dslany; aged rs years, was muir
adered, 1T her residence, 2 Kenny's Cot

to the police until between IL and II the
next day, and from the information given
then. it appears that the woman's death
was the result of a savage assault by her
son-in-law, a man named John. ". Abbot:
who. is. described, as a laborer 20 years
Of age, and worked at Inchicore. Il,

of the times, Mr.. Niven1 and his colleagues
have been able to maintain their dividend

creased balance. They show Liquid Sc

indebtedness, and Mr.. Niven states that

jectors attended last week. Perhaps,
rhoug h the chief secretary has no power
iii his offcial capacity to suppress this
scandal, as a Tory might convince his
friends and supporters Of the unbecoming
character Of their action in employing
such methods. They might spare the
scandal in Kildare at least, for there,
the only person affected by their revision
work is their attorney. .s8.s.. s.>..
