TIPPERARY.
The golden jubilee of Rev. Mother
Agnes Ryan, of the Convent Fethard,
was lately celebrated. She is a men,
Der Of the Presentation Order. Most
Rev. DR.. Croke, archbishop of Cashel,
made a present of fifty pounds ster-
ling-one for each year of her religious
life-to be devoted by her to some
charitable or other deserving purpose.
Private masses We're celebrated at the
convent affairs in the morning, and the
interesting ceremony took place at
1:30. The officiating clergyman, Arch
deacon Jones, blessed a crown of roses
and placed it on the head of the JUDI
larian, to remind her in the words Of
the prayers, of the Divine tenderness
and glory her fidelity had earned. He
also blessed a staff bedecked with
flowers and mounted with the symbol
of salvation, which had been her
heavenly sweetness, her strength of
mind, and joy Of spirit" and now
would be cher support i'll age and her
help to arrive at the land Of Eternal
Promise" The prayers of this solemn
rite, phrased from the Old Testament,
are beautiful, and the psalms chanted
during the ceremony are most approp-
rate and full of thrilling references to
the soul-stirring truths that underlie
the religious ceremony of n Golden
Jubilee. Present: Canon P. Ryan,
Galbally; Very Reverends Father
