which Brother Edward Connolly, of the
order of Christian Brothers, lost his life,
occurred on Sept. s, at place called the
| Quarry Hole, between Finglas bridge

| community, in charge of the Cabra Deaf
/ and Dumb Institute, had gone to battle
/ at the place mentioned, where the water
/ is very deep. The deceased had dived
! off the bank. and. on coming to the sur

but before any could reach him he sank
. and did not rise again. Next day the
| body was recovered by graphing when it

dragged him down though he was Il
powerful swimmer. He was young man
! OF barely 81 years, and his sad death

devoted.
