To his already established political as
ISOLATION with Ireland Mr.. John Morley
has added a new tie. His stepdaughter
has just become nun in High Park con-
vent, Dublin. Though she had been for
some time engaged in the active duties
of the convent, her entrance, by taking
the veil, was delayed, owing to the death
of one of the founders of the institution.
DERRY.
On the night of Dec. 81, or early next
morning, sacrilegious outrage was per-
petrated at the Catholic church. Cool
cam, Desetmartin. The arms of the
fine and almost life-sized figure on the
cross which stands in the chapel yard
were broken off, in an evident attempt to
wrench the figure entirely away, as it
was twisted out of its proper position.
The outrage has caused considerable in
dignation both among the Catholic par
ishioners and the respectable portion of
the Protestant community.

P. P, who died at the presbytery in
Cahirciveen, on Dec. 81. His demise
came unexpectedly, although it was
known that he had suffered of late from
fits of illness peculiar to old age. The
good priest had said mass on the pre-
vious Sunday, but did not appear to be
in his usual health or spirits On the
evening of the goth he got turn for the
worse, when DR.. Mannix, who attended
him in his last illness, entertained grave
fears as to his condition. Despite all
that medical skill could do for him he
passed peacefully away, shortly alter the
Rev. Michael Mccarthy, C.. c.. one of his
devoted curates, had administered the
last rites of the Catholic church.
