ANTRINI.

While conducting an inquest in
Belfast, on May Goth, on the body Of
a man who had been drowned while
working at the Queens Island works,
the coroner characterized the conduct
of his fellow-workmen who had made
no effort to save him, as cowardly.
These fellows do a good deal of blust-
ering about the 10Th of July; but they
have constitutional aversion to
water.

bishop of Down and Connor, has Of
fered the Belfast board Of guardians Il
beautiful demesne residence as a site

ARMAGH.
At the regular meeting of the Arm
agh guardians ON May Goth, Mr..
Thompson Brown, J. p, presiding, the
Catholic Catechist question, about
which local government board i'll
quiry was to be held before Mr.. Ag-
new, was again under consideration.
A long discussion took place as to
what instructions the solicitor to the
board had received, or in what capa-
city would he act before the inspector.
Finally a resolution was proposed, to
the effect that the solicitor was merely
to assist in ascertaining the duties Of
the previous assistant teacher and
Catechist, and that he was in no way
to represent the view of any section
of the guardians. After discussion the
resolution was lost by s Unionist to 4
Nationalist votes, and the matter ter
minated.
