committee of the Irish Land and
Labor association was held in Cork on
Sunday. Mr.. James O'Shea, chairman,
Ballincollig. presided. There was a
representative attendance of delegates

IlCSOlNSu, L nat lldSIHucll DIS Ire
land is almost essentially agricultural,
and considering the large number of
existing cottages with appointments
throughout the country and the conse-
quent necessity of a practical knowl-
edge of agriculture, so that the occu-
piers of those cottages may be able
to cultivate their plots with skill and
advantage, we, the delegates of eleven
branches, and representing a member
ship of 1000, desire to issue this reso-
luton as an instruction to the govern
ment that they shall acquire suitable
plot in the vicinity of each rural school
where boys of ten years old and up
wards shall be taught practical agri-
culture for half an hour every second
school day when the weather is favor
able for that purpose, and that this
resolution be sent to Mr. Wyndham,
Mr.. John Redmond, and Mr.. D. Shee-
ham,"

Electric Lighting for Waterford.-At
Tuesdays meeting of the Waterford
corporation, the mayor alderman r.
Hearne) presiding, Councillor O'Sulli-
van had three questions on the agenda
paper as to the proposed scheme of
electric lighting for the city. While
the subject was under debate two or
three councillors left the council cham
Der. Captain Thomas Toole said it
was shame to see members leaving;
they were elected to represent the rate
payers, not the gas company.
Laborers and Land Purchase.-Ab-
beyfeale, Wednesday: The land COM
mission inspectors of holdings where
between landlords and
tenants have been satisfactorily con-
cluded, insist on sub tenants or labor
ers holding plots of about one acre
and upwards from farmers, being per-
mitted to purchase their own little
holdings independently of middle
claims, and this has given much salts
faction to the laboring and cottier
classes in this district. In several in
stances farmers have consented volun-
tarily to allow their sub tenants to
participate in the benefits of the pur-
chase acts, for which an allowance in
their purchase is almost invariably
by the land commission
inspectors in lieu of their relinquish-
ng claims to such under r-tenancies.
