OF a most peculiar kind was made i'll
the Cantor river, that flows through
Birr. A number of men leaning over
the parapet OF the Windsor Road
bridge, looking out for fish, were Sill
priscd to observe, on the rocky bed OF
the river, what they described as bull
lets. Upwards Of forty were discerni-
bic and at a lower section OF the stream,
nearer to a 1nillrace, thirty more were
counted. A man named Hanlon, with
small can attached to rod, dredged
in a primitive way the locality where
the ammunition was exposed to view.

6sl1cd tip, and were found to be loaded
rifle cartridges, their appearance indi
eating that they had not been in the
water for any considerable time.
