CLARE.
The salmon fishing in the Lower
Shannon Che season for which opened
OH 18th February), has not come up
to the expectations previously formed
of it. The weather exercised an i'm
portant influence on fishing, as on
agricultural and other industries, and
this in some measure accounts for the
barrenness of the fishing so far. Drift
net fishing is very bad, though the
height of the spring fish has now
been reached. The storms of last
month and of February also have been
serious loss to the stake-weir owners.
as many of these engines were swept
away by the wind and heavy SEAS and
great expense was entailed in replace
ing them.
CAVAN.
The death occurred, on March 28th.
Of the Rev. Thos. Mcguire, at the
residence of his sister, Mrs. Patrick
Brady, Tully, county Cavan. Deceas-
ed had only reached the age of Sc
years, during which period he labored
in his sacred calling for 80 years. At
an early age he evinced love for re-
ligious Life, and was sent to study to
the Marist college, Dundalk, where he
completed his studies. At the early
age of % he was ordained a priest in
that order. He.labored in the order in
Dundalk for ten years, and then pro-
ceeded to England, where he spent
eight years, and thence proceeded to
America. He worked zealously in his
sacred calling, in different states, for
twelve years, but owing to failing
health he had to relinquish his duties,
some four years ago, and returned to
his native place, Cavan, to close his
earthly carer.
CORK.
At the spring show of the County
Cork Agricultural society, on April I'd.
King Edward carried off two first
class prizes in the short-horn class,
with animals from the Windsor farm.
The announcement reads like revised
chapter from the annals of the Victoria
regime, when his father, the late
Prince Albert, used to carry off prizes
with fat pigs and cattle, from the
same Windsor pastures.
In the case of Andrew Moore. n
prisoner in Cork male prison, under
sentence of death for the Kilmeen
murder, the lord-lieutenant has COM
muted the sentence to penal servitude
for life. In this connection it should
be noted that Moore is not an Irish
peasant, but an Englishman, with a
very unsavory criminal record behind
the offence for which he was sentenced
to death.
Though it is some weeks behind the
usual time, the Irish mackeral fishing
at Berehaven has not yet begun, and
the English buyers are waiting there
without fish.
