mutual greeting between priest and Irish
man was most cordial a

it was this way: My first wife, may, the
Lord have mercy on her soul, my first wife

her. Upon my soul, your reverence, and
don't know it, she was too good for me.
God the Almighty took her unto Himself.

Well, and she died, too, and may the Lord
forgive me, but the devil took her, and !

married for the third time, and here | am,
bad luck to me! She beats me, she abuses
me and kicks me around the house all day
long. She never cooks no decent meal, she
never cleans the, house. she never goes, to

second wife's baby? Oh, no. fax; only for
me the poor little crature would starye to
death. Well, your reverence, bad luck to
me- you see the ,Aln1:g hty took my first

WEXFORD.

On the morning Of April 18th, a sad boat
ing fatality occurred in Wexford Bay. A
fisherman named Joseph Hagan, Of. Bal
lygillane, had been in Wexford the pre-
vious night with fish, being accompanied
by one of his sons, a young man Of about
Is years of age. At about six o'clock
the next morning they left the quay in
their. own boat and proceeded home
wards. They reached Hantoon Channel
about half past seven, when it COM
menced to blow very hard, and the first
tack they made the mainsail was car
ried away. They then tackled toward
shore, and when near land the boat
heeled over, and the father, who was
steering disappeared in the sea, and was
not seen again. The drifting boat, with
the SON., nearly crazy with grief, was
soon after picked up by the crew of the
lifeboat from the Fort. The body OF the
drowned man was not found. Deceased
was well known in Wexford and was
much respected. He conducted a licensed
house at Ballygeary for three or four
years, and was in fairly well-to-do cir
cumstances. ". !. - -

The Swinford Board of Guardians, at

to ask Mr.. Dillon, M, p, to press the
postmaster general to utilize the new
Claremorris and Collooney Railway for
an improved postal service.
At the Swinford Quarter Sessions, on
April 9th, an extraordinary number Of
ejectments and civil bill DEGREES were
taken out for rent. On the property of
Lord Dillon ther were 233 granted, for
sums varying from Flo to f10o. The I'M
exampled severity and harshness of this
action by the landlords, in the present
state Of the country, has aroused the
greatest indignation among the people
Of the district. At their meeting, on
April 7th, the Swinford Board of Guard
ians unanimously adopted resolution
impressing on the government the la
mentable consequences that may ensue
If these DEGREES are allowed to be put
in execution wholesale. The resolution
was. proposed by Mr.. Higgins, and sec
ended by Mr.. Clarke, and copies were
ordered to be sent to Mr.. Dillon, M. p,

LEITRIM.
At a large and influential public meet
ing held at the Court House, DoWra,, on
April 10, for the purpose Of promoting a
line of railway from Thornhill crossing
on. the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern
Counties Railway via, Dowra, to Drum
shambo, the Rev P. Brady, PIP. KILN
agh, in the chair, it was resolved that,
in the opinion of the rate-payers and the
Inhabitants of the district, a line of rail
way to connect Thornhill crossing with
Drumsllambo, via, 1DoWra, is very much
required, and would be OF immense ben
eft to the people at large, as the line
would pass through very poor and con-
gested district, rich in mineral treasures,
which has been abundantly proved by
English and Scotch experts, who visited
the place and had the minerals analysed,
and it is the earnest hope OF the people
that the government will see their way
to construct this line of railway, which
would secure not only immediate but
continuous employment for the poor in
habitants of this backward and noun
famous part of the country.
A Drumkeeran correspondent writes:

decision Of the magistrates at Petty Ses-

penalty for having used 8 eel gaps, or
eyes, in his weir on the 9Th of January,
without the same being duly licensed"
It will be remembered the case turned on
the point whether the word year
meant the eel fishing season, which ex-
tends from July until the 31st Of jan.
uary in the year following, or the cal
endar year. Evidence was given to the
effect that appellant instructed his men
to put down the gaps in the river, but
not in working order, and the Judge
said he would withhold his decision as
to whether the employer was liable for
what occurred afterward. On the main
facts, however, he reversed the magis-
trate's decision. .@As:
