QUEENS COUNTY.
On Sunday. November 18th, an en-
thusiastic public meeting was held in
the Town Hall, marlborough, for the
purpose of establishing a branch of
the United Irish League in that parish.
Mr. z. A. Meehan, Chairman of the
County Council, presided, and the
meeting was addressed by DR.. Mac
Donnell. NJ. P. and Mr.. Delaney. NJ.
F., the Parliamentary representatives
of the two divisions of Queens Coun-
ty, and by Mr.. John Cullinan, NJ. 2.
A vigorous branch of the League was
inauguratcd; and it may confidently be
expected that marlborough having
shown the way, the parishes of the
county will follow its example in the
establishment of fiourishing branches
of the National organization. The
Maryborcugh brass band turned out
and played a number of National airs
outside the place Of meeting
ROsCOAIMON.
On Nov. II, the little village Of
Croghan was thrown into Il state of
excitement in consequence of the evic-
tion of the manager of the local cream
cry. The creamery was captured and
recaptured by the opposing parties,
and the police had to be brought to the
scene. 1t appears that the committee
served notice of dismissal on the man
ager, Mr.. J. p. Foley, and he disputed
the legality Of the manner in which the
notice was issued. Finally another
manager was obtained and put in
possession Of the creamery on the 18th,
and Mr.. Foley's property was removed
during his absence. Next day, Mr..
Foley returned with his friends and
again took possession of the creamery
and put on locks Of his own. On the
following day, While the creamery was
in full working order, about sixty
armed police We're brought out IN
cars from the town of Boyle, and ac-
companied by MI. II. A. Cox, the agent
on the estate, and secretary of the
creamery, entered the building. The
police seized the manager and his
friends; and, after considerable force
was used, MI. Foley and number OF
them were elected into the street. Mr..
Folly has decided to apply for informa-
tion for assault against the Constabul-
airy. The creamery is now guarded
by armed police.
