When his strange, eventful life was over
st. Patrick, Bishop Patrick. as he was
then called, was buried at Dun-Patrick,
Dun-da-lath-glas, or the dun of the broken
fetters, and here until the time of the refor-
nation were preserved his relics. The place
is stil held in veneration by his faithful
followers
Material memorials of St Patrick are
numerous in the country which holds him
it's own. but the church bearing his name
is the most interesting of all. Passing

About Trout Poachers.

From Harper's Weekly
A favorite method of trout thieves is to
take a sack or bag, weight it with stones,
and place it. mouth upstream in the mar
rowest part of the brook. Then one of the
rascals comes downstream, wadng. polk
ing under the banks with stick and scar
ing the trout, who rush downstream into
the sack. This sort of thing, varied now
and then by exploding dynamite under wa
ter and gathering the dead or stunned fish
which float, has cleaned out some of our
public trout waters. In other words, these
thieves have robbed the public. and have
sold the proceeds of the robbery for their
own benefit. The game laws are not nearly
stringent enought. Fines never deter such
rascals from attempting to reimburse them
celves. Imprisonment at hard labor is the
only antdote.

are making elaborate preparations for that
greatest of all days on their calendar, both

In his veins will wear bit of green ribbon
or a shamrock leaf on Thursday next and
thousands and thousands of Irishmen will
parade through the streets of many of the
cities of the United States in honor of their
beloved saint.
Yet in spite of all this prepare ton for
the great day, the extent OF knowledge of
most people in regard to good St. Patrick
includes the facts that he is patron saint of
Ireland, and, according to popular tradition,
drove the snakes out of that country

closely connected with him, but few seem to
