bog slide similar to that Which
occurred some years ago. took place
on the night OF June :'rd when the oc-
cupants of farms house along the
public road at Drinagh, near Curragh-
roe, were startled to find that a large
tract of bog, covering about half a
square mile, WAS drifting down upon
them. Fortunately the public road in
tervened and provided sulfcien,
check to the moving mass which was
piled up 10 the height of several feet
alongside the road. Some idea of the
effect of the pressure on the road can
| be imagined from the appearance of
the latter AT several points the sur
| face is cracked right across. and even
| burst up, and the shape OF the thor
oughfare has been altogether changed
from a comparatively straight line to
snakc-like appearance. Portions of
| the cut-away bog, which We're under
| tllage. also show tho effect of the
movement.
