cupantS of farms house along the
public road at Drinagh, near Currayh-
roe We're 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 Il sullicien,
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
a snake-lillc appearance. Portions of
the cut-away bog, Which We're under
tillage, also show tho effect of the
| movement.
