Nationalist, and was son Of Mr.. John
Healy, who might be described as one
Of the "Old Guard" in the town. The
funeral took place on June 21st, for
Rath churchyard, and was attended
very largely, not only by the people
of the town, but by the country peo-
pie, for whom Mr.. Healy and his faith
er had worked so strenuously in the
past.

LIMERICK.
An oratory to cost $1,000 $4,000 is
TO he added to the Redemptionist
church of st. Alphonsus, Limerick.
The donor is anonymous. The design
will be Gothic, in keeping with the
style of the church, the principal fea-
ture Of the work being four red mar
ble pillars from the Middleton quarries.
1t is satisfactory to find that the
growing popularity of Irish marbles
is evident at home. The use Of Irish
material, in such case, is a sermon
in stone in support OF Irish industrial
progress. Mr.. Ashlin, Dublin, is the
architect, and Mr.. z. Kennedy, Linn
erick, the contractor, in this instance.
The directors of the Great Southern
and Western Railway company have
granted f4OO to Mrs. Ryan, widow Of
the railway porter who was killed
under such tragic circumstances at
Castleconnell last November. On the
approach of special cattle train from
Nenagh, he had gone to open the gate
at level crossing and was run over
by the engine and killed. Poor Ryan
was very popular among all classes
in Castleconnell, and a strong COM
mittee was formed for the purpose OF
placing the case for the widow ana
orphans before the railway company,
with the satisfactory result above
recorded.

completely ruined the potato crop. In
the low lying lands and moors the
ravages Of the blight are most notice
able, acres of what was IL promising
crop some time ago being blackened
and blasted in a single night. l
passed through five counties this

potato fields were blackened and
burned to the ground. Old farmers
state that, in their experience, nothing
so disastrous since the potato blight
Of ~ has ever occurred"
