DUBLIN.
On the report of the Post Office vote
in Parliament, on June 2, Mr.. Crilly
protested against the practice Of APP
pointing English postal officials to fill
important vacancies, which from time to
time occur in the Dublin postoftice. He
expressed the hope that in connection
with an important position, carrying a
high salary, which was about to be-
come vacant in Dublin, the Postmaster
General would see his way to fill the
place from among the ranks of the
present Irish officials employed in the
Dublin office.
FERMANAGH.
On>Sunday, May FL, a Mission was
opened in the Coneen portion of the
parish Of Brookeboro', by the Redemp-
torist Fathers, and large crowds of the
parisiioners testified by their presence
at all the exercises the faith that was
in them. The advent of the Missiona-
ries appears to have famed the smould-
ering fire of Orange bigotry, and vent
was given to this on the following Tues
day night, or early on Wednesday morn
ing, by what appears to have been a
preconcerted attack on the three book
stalls that were temporarily erected for
the sale of prayerbooks, rosary beads,
scapulars, ETC., in the grounds immedi-
ately adjoining the church. At 9 o'clock
on Tuesday evening, the book stalls
were closed, their contents being in per-
| feet order; but next morning it was
found they had been broken open, and
their, contents practically destroyed.
The most intense indignation prevails
at this exhibition Of bigotted Vandalism,
which is denounced by all decent mem-
bers of the community.
