An extraordinary incident occurred in
connection with the recent Donegal as
sizes. The building in Lifford, known
as the County house, which is appurte-
nant to, but not attached to, the court
house, was required by the judges and
grand jury for dining and other pur-
poses; but the county council disputed
the right Of anyone except themselves,
as custodians of the county property, to
Interfere with it; and they refused per-
mission for the use of the building.
Thereupon the sub-sheriff (Mr. John S.
McCay) had an eviction carried OUT
the secretary of the county council
(Mr. B. McFadden,) and the clerical
staff being removed from the court
house, together with the books and doc
uments belonging to the Office. The
council Office was then transferred tenn
porarily to the old Jail in the town,
which is dingy, ill-lighted and dilapi-
dated building. The county council
were also evicted from the county house
at the last assizes and litigation between
them and the high sheriff (Mr. John
Hcrdman, D. L), on the subject is
pending.

The Farmers Gazette, in its issue Of
July FL, says: 1T is good many years
since it was our privilege to publish
such an encouraging series of crop re-
ports as that which we are able to pre-
sent to our readers this week. Covering
as they do every county in Ireland,
these reports are of very comprelen-
sive and representative character, and
the condition OF affairs which they por-
tray is one calculated to afford the great
est qualification to all interested in the
| material welfare of our country. With
the single exception of turnips--which
are not quite so forward or so uniform
ly good as could be wisled-all the
crops are this year OF exceptional prom
Use, and if only month of bright, SUM-
mcr-like weather is now vouchsafed us
the harvest should prove one OF the best
to which the country has been treated
for long series of years."
