A correspondent, writing from Bally-
haunis, on May ?, says: To-day (market
day here) posters in connection with
United Irish League movement were
being extensively put UP in this town,
when the police authorities became
aware of the fact that something 'sedi-
tious' was on foot. Immediately the
bill-poster was captured and the bills
still in his possession seized by a mem
Der of the constabulary, while other po-
licemen tore down those already posted
up. This high-handed action is the sub
ject of much comment"

TIPPERARY.
The death of Rev. Michael Power, P.
P, took place on April 81, at his resi-
dence, New Inn Although he had been
i'll failing health for some time, the sad
event will cause feeling of pain 10 his
many friends, from whom death claimed
him before he had reached the allotted
span of mans life After his ordination
he was appointed curate to his cousin,
the Rev. Father Magrath, who was then
parish priest OF Latin. From this time
until his death his life was devoted to
his sacred calling, and since his appoint
ment as parish priest OF New Inn he
was unceasing in his efforts for the ad-
vancement of learning and the promo
ton of religion. His benevolence was
unbounded, and his friends will long
miss his friendly face, and cherish the
memory OF the manliness and kind
heartedness that characterized him
through life.
