Mr.. Edmund johnson, of Grafton
street, Dublin, is now preparing for the
present exhibition at Belfast, complete
set Of copies of the magnificent treas
rres of ancient Irish art which are ex-
hihited in the Royal Irish Academy COL
lection. A similar exhibit was shown at
the Worlds Fair, Chicago, for which he
obtained the gold medal and highest di-
ploma of honor. This collection was
subsequently purchased by the Field Co
lumbar Museum, and consisted Of cop
les of the Ancient Shrines and Croziers,
the Ardagh Challice, the Torres and III
bulae. the crowns of ancient kings, the
Tara and other brooches, the Limulae
and Collars Of Gold. In addition to the
above, Mr.. Johnson will exhibit some
magnificent specimens of Irish bog oak
carvings, the ancient horns and methyr
drinking cups, caskets, etc. As these
specimens abound in Irish ornament OF
the purest type, it is probable the
Science and Art Department will see fit
to add this collection to their museum in
Belfast.
a discovery Of a mysterious character
was made on April 10th, at NeWforge, on
the River Lagan about three miles
from Belfast. 1t appears that laborer,

ferred to, suit of mans clothes and a
bicycle lying on. the canal bank. The
clothing consisted OF a black jacket,
trousers (grey with brown stripes),
socks, and yellow canvas shoes, with a
cap of dark cloth. In q pocket OF the
coat was a. small memorandum book,
with some accounts enclosed, also pro-
gram OF lessons belonging to the College
Presbyterian Sabbath School of Janu-
airy, 1886. Tfhe police at Balmora1 sta
ton were appraised of the occurrence, and

siderable time in dragging the canal in
