famine" queen of England, command

was in Limerick city recently to in
spect England's mercenaries. His re-
ception was very cool. though the
weather was very hot.
Longford.
The very heavy rains recently have
been very damaging to the crops, and
the outlook for farmers is dismal. This
may be said of the whole of the County
Longford. though in different districts
the crops raised are distinct.
In north Longford the potato is the
staple crop, and reports from every dis-S
trict are encouraging.
Peat for fuel purposes is an impor-
tant consideration in this county, and
the season has been most unfavorable
to the saving of it. The supply is scarce
and in the towns dear, with prospects
of being Scarcer.

The harvest prospects in the district
Of Castlereagh are the glOomiest for
many years past. The potato crop is in
a very precarious state owing to the
downpour of rain. The hay crop has
been injured by the rain. Root crops
will not be up to the average. Cereals
will not realize the expectations enter
tanned by the farmer a month ago.
Turf, another source of anxiety to the
farmer and the people of the towns,
will be scarce.

ad story is related. 1t is a total fail

toes are no better in this respect than {
portions in the same field {

/ ancient days the little isle was ded-
