During the last quarter Of 1896, the
fishing in Galway Bay was prosecuted
with satisfactory results. Tie takes OF
Goldfish, .lingj place, soles, behring's, and
whiting have been such as to give no
cause for complaint among the fisher
men along the coasts each side of the
bay. Lobsters and crabs have also been
plentiful. Taken altogether, the past
year came to a close with favorable re-
suits to all engaged in the fishing indus

We regret to announce the death Of the
Rev. Joseph Judge. P. P, Of Menlough,
county Galway, which. occurred at the
Mater Misericordiae. Hospital, Dublin,
on December 28. Father Judge, who
was native of the parish OF Claremor-
rs, where nany@of his relatives reside,
was ordained over forty years ago, and
had been parish priest of Menlough for
the past twenty-four years. Before his
appointment to the control OF the parish
Of Menlough, he had been curate in Cas-
tlebar.. He was Jealous and devoted
priest, remarkable for his great piety and
charity, and his death will be deeply
mourned by his parishioners and wide
circle of clerical and lay friends. For
some time past Father Judge suffered
from acute rheumatism, which finally
caused his death. His remains were con-
veyed by train to Menlough, and, after
solemn office and high mass, on Decem-
Der 30, were inferred within the precincts
of the parish church. -.s.

KILKENNY.
Hynes, who ''grabbed' the Begerln
farm, is having a warm time of it down
in Slieverue, where he recently squatted.
It will be remembered that on the occa-
sion of the sale of the Begerin farm, a
few months ago, Hynes failed to become
purchaser, and SO had to cast about for
a fresl, farm. Aided in his quest by the
evicting fraternity, he was introduced to
Mr.. Harry, of Waterford, who is the
agent of a property at Slieverue, on
holding of which a farmer named Dowl-
ing owed couple of years rent. A COM
pact was entered into by Hynes for the
occupation OF the farm, notwithstanding
the pleadings of clergy and others to ac-
ccpt as tenant a friendly neighbor named
Doherty, who for long time had been
taking the grass OF the place, and who
was disposed to give Bowling something
for his good will in the holding. 1t is
alleged that the agent had agreed with
the district clergy, in August last, to &C
cept as tenant the man Doherty, but that
he afterward changed his mind. Be that
as it may, the agent subsequently gave
possession to Hynes, the Begerin, and
now known as the Slicverue 'grabber."
On December ~, very spirited meet
ing, at which politicians OF every type
assembled. was held in Slieverue to de-
nounce the "grabber." The St, Mary's
Brass Band, OF New Ross, was III at
