On Tuesday interesting public presen-
tations were made to Mr.. John Lynch,
after his retirement from principal teach
er of. the Cahir Male National School,
since January, 1863. These presentations
show the esteem in which so important
a public servant has been held for so
many years, and are creditable to all con-
cerned. The first was a large and valuable
eight-day hall clock, in beautifully carved
and ornamental walnut frame, with an
engraved plate regarding the presen-
tation from, the girls Of the female
schools; and next was an excellent Eng
lish lever watch from his former pupils
of the boys school. Mr.. Lynch, replying,
addressed the pupils of both schools In
happy terms. At 8 p m. the same day
deputation waited on Mr.. Lynch at his
residence and presented him with an illu-
minated and deliberately framed address,

Catholic Literary and Debating Society,
Cookstown, was held on Sunday. Rev.

Fresh interest and enthusiasm are evil
denced in each recurring meeting. There
was large attendance. The business of
the evening was debate on the question,
s.Is Emigration Beneficial to Country?'
Mr.. w. Rice affirmative, was ably sup
ported by H. McKeown. B. O'Neill and T.
McGurk. The negative side was eloquent
sly argued by John Doris, P. Corr, Charles
Quinn and G. H. MacNevin. The rever-
end chairman put the question to the
meeting, and substantial majority de-
clared against emigration. Father Nc
Eleayy. in an eloquent speech, referred
to some of the points raised in debate
and gave his own opinion regarding emf
grafton. He|viyidly portrayed the many
dangers to which the ennigrant is exposed
in foreign lands. He explained that the
accounts we hear of the success of Irish
men abroad are all too fiattering and in
most cases misleading. In conclusion he
expressed the wish that all, where prac-
ticable, sholld remain in the old country
and, if they did, he had no doubt they
would continue better Irishnen and bet
ter Catholics.
