DOWN.
At the opening Of the assizes for the
County Down OH July H., Justice Fitz-
gbbon, after the grand jury had been
resworn, in addressing them, referred
to the Ballinahinch disturbances, in May

new arrangement, the Belfast authorities
would have to look after their own dis
turbing elements, which should not be
permitted to affect the peace and good
repute of their neighbors.

KILKENNY
1t is stated that, in Inistioge, a few
days ago, four priests were grossly in
suited by an Qranseman. The clergymcn
in question, being unaware Of the new
departure, whereby anybody wishing to
enter on the Woodstock grounds must
first obtain a ticket or passport in the
village were passing through the "Point"
road gate, on their way to "Redhouse"
when a rough Orange customer employ
ed on the estate stepped out, and rudcly
stopped them with his hands, and find
ing that they had no tickets, addressed
them in the most opprobious terms. 1t
is to be hoped that Lady Tighe's atten-
tion will be directed to the matter.
LIMERICK.
While the net men Of Clarina, few
days ago, were out fishing for salmon in
the Shannon, few miles seawaId from
Limerick, they observed large bottle
| nosed whale in the river. The strange
visitor was spouting pretty vigorously
| and plying his tail with such effect that
the fishermen had to produce all the
| nets and ropes available, with a view to
his capture, which was determined on.
Some twenty men collected in their
boats and surrounded the whale, which,
| after short struggle, was caught and
dragged ashore. The capture was found
to be eleven feet long from snout to
tail, and was a very perfect specimen
of his kind. He was brought to Limerick
and exhibited during the day. The
whale weighed something like ten cwt.,
and was a gerat object of interest to To-
cal sightseers, the animal being, per-
haps, the first that had ever been caught
in the upper reaches of the river.
