GALWAY.
On July %, Il scene long to be re-
membered was witnessed at Arran Is
land, at the closing of a mission which
had been. during the previous fort
night, conducted by the Redemptorist
Fathers In the evening, after Solemn
Banediction, the blessing of the Mis-
sion Cross was performed by Father
Mcnamara, accompanied by his
brother and parochial clergy. During
the procession hymns We're sung by
the school children, who were taste
fully dressed. Since the days of st.
Enda no such demonstration was wit
messed in "Arran ma NaOim.' AT least
Bonded knees. with heads bent, the
canopy of heaven above and the sea
all round. they received the last bless
ing of the mission. the scene was one
to move any one. There was in all
this Il noticeable drawback, since the
devotions had fer the most part to be
carried on in the open air, owing to
the want of church accommodation.
When the missioners took their de-
parture, the fishing boats all turned
out bedecked with bunting.
KERRY.
Mr.. John II. Danaher, an eyicted
tenant from Listowel, has for some
time past been the subject of close po-
lice surveillance. particularly on Fair
days, when he is persistently fol-
lowed by two constables in civilian at
tire. 1t is understood that the author
tiles justify their conduct by stating
that they apprehend that Mr. Danalrer
would intimidate the present occupier
of his farm in the sale Of his cattle.
Mr.. Danauler wrote. some time ago. to
the district inspector of police in con-
nection with the matter, but the
"shadowing" has since been continued,
and he is now inclined to bring the
action Of the police authorities under
the notice of parliament. in the hope
that the Objectionable and annoying
espionage to which he is subjected
will be discontinued.

Moran, who WAS accompanied by the
Very Rev. D. O'Haran, arrived in Xii
kenny, OH a visit to the Bishop Of
Ossory, Most Rev. DIR. Brownrigg
His Eminence was formerly Bishop Of
Ossory, having been consecl,tod to
the See about thirty years ago. Whep
he was appointed to the Archbishop
ric of Sydney die was succeeded by the
present Lord Bishop. The affection
in which he was held while he was
prelate over the diocese still exists in
undiminished strength; so that his Sec
ond return visit since his departure
was made the occasion of great popu-
lar rejoicing. The streets We're very
handsomely decorated with ivy clad
poles, streamers being stretched across
tire principal thoroughfares bearing
words of welcome. Many Of these
were executed in Gaelic.
LIMERICK.
On the evening of July 18th. yacht
was noticed, under full sail, with no
one OH board, to come into Castle

and went to the rescue of their COM
rades, leaving the yacht to take care
of herself. The two men We're picked
up, after some difficulty, nothing the
worse for their mishap. The vessel
was taken in charge by the Coast
guards who We're promptly on the
scene, and was found to be undam-
aged. Her name is the Ellen and size
hailed from Limerick. There was
pretty strong sea running at the time.
and a fierce gale blowing; so the 'es-
cape Of the crew and yacht was quite
prOvidential.
