LOUIE.


short illness, the death of Mr.. Henry
Duffy, master of the Drogheda Work
house, occurred. The deceased, who
had been for twenty-seven years in the
service of the Board of Guardians, was
most conscientious official, and dis
charged his duties with due regard to
the wants of the poor and the interest
OF the Guardians. He was widely re-
spected in Drogheda, Louth, and
Meath, and his death is generally re-
GREETED.
LIMERICK.
A sad coincidence occurred on the
night of Feb. II, at Clintonville, near
Limerick. A gentleman named Harris
Seymour, aged sc, and his sister, aged
76, had been in i'll health for some
time. The sister was unceasing in her
attention to her brother, and, it is said,
expressed wish that she might die
before him. She passed away at four
teen minutes past nine, on the above
date, and her brother six minutes later.
He was a gentleman of MEANS and
had led a retired life for thirty years.
MAYO.
On Feb. II, Nessrs. Nj. Delaney, M,
G. c., and Thomas Brett arrived in
Castelar,, as prisoners, under Il heavy
escort Of police, by the limited mail.
They We're accompanied by large con-
tingent Of Leaguers, from Ballyhaunis,
Claremorris, and Balla, who were COM
ing to welcome Mr.. Conor O'Kelly.
The platform was thronged, and cheers
were loudly given for the prisoners.
They were placed on cars and driven
to the county prison. About twenty
carloads Of sympathizers accompanied
them to the gate. AS Mr.. Delaney was
going inside the gate he shouted, ''Keep
the old flag flying!" The response of
the crowd was loud and continued
cheering.
MEATH,
Most Rev. DR.. Gaffney, Bishop of
Meath, in his Lenten Pastoral adverts
to the land question, and declares that
the land courts and rents must go, and
with them the ingenious methods Of
land letting, which had been cleverly
devised to stay the fall of the present
system. If the English government
were wise, it would establish the peo-
pie in their homes, on solid basis, and
remove discomfort; but it would not
learn even now the danger of disaf-
fected Ireland. An intolerant minority
held the government in the hollow Of
it's hand, and justice and equity were
flung to the winds. The whole sys-
TEN of government, the bishop de-
clares, is Il scandalous pantomime.
ROsCONIN1ON.
On Feb. Is, Messrs. John Fitzgibbon,
Castlerea; Patrick Webb, Loughglynn;
and Patrick Conry, Castlerea, were
served with summonses by District
Inspector Vincent J. Hetreed, of Bal
laghadereen; to attend a special re-
movables' court, under the Coercion
Act, at Loughglynn, on charges Of ille-
gal assemblage and intimidation.
SLIGO.
In the village of Collooney, works
were started, few days ago, for the
manufacture Of carbide of calcium, or
acetylene gas. Lighting by acetylene
has great future, owing to its bril-
liancy, the cheapness Of it's production,
and it's suitability for Illuminating
small and large areas alike. The works
in the west Of Ireland can now COM
pete very favorably with the English
and foreign makers, owing to the plen-
tiful supply Of limestone.

WICKLOW.
In the court Of chancery, in Dublin,
on Feb. ii, the case Of Anderson VS..
Richardson was called. This was an
action brought by the plaintiff, who is
an hotel proprietor, residing at Glenda-
Tough, against Messrs. John ]. and
James Richardson, who are also hotel
proprietors in the same place, for an
injunction to restrain the defendants
and each Of their agents and servants
from trespassing on the lands Of Lug
duff, the property of the plaintiff, and
in particular from taking off passen-
gers or landing them OH that portion of
the plaintiffs lands in which is COM
prised the natural case in the face Of
the rock overhanging the Upper Lake,
and we'll known as est. Kevin's Bed"
which is one of the great attractions
of the locality, and near which the
plaintiff has built hotel. The defend
ants own another hotel close to the
plaintiffs avenue, and own boats ply
ing for hire on the lake, and employed
in bringing tourists to the '"Bed," and
trespassed on the plaintiffs lands, and
brought visitors there in their boats;
to stop which this action was taken.
The defendants did not appear, or put
in any defence; and the vice-chancel-
lor granted a perpetual injunction
