mels OF the office of VtcerOy and Of
the dust Of Dublin Castle, and set out
on his journey as private individual
back to his home in England. There
was not the usual display about his
departure, and the arrival Of his sue
cessor was equally quiet. 1t looked
as though the incoming Castle gov
eminent was not quite certain of its
tenure Of office.
A dispatch from Rome, dated Dec
18th, states that Right Rev. p. A.
O'Neill, Bishop of Port Louis, Mau
ritus, has arrived in the Eternal
City.
In Dublin, on the evening of Dec
-. Mr.. Lorcan Sherlock, T. c., wa
entertained at dinner by his friends

A young man, named James Nous
ker, who resided at Millinery, about
four miles from Enniskillen, died in
the Fermanagh County 1nfirmary, on
Dec. II, from injuries, the cause of
which is complete mystery. 1t APP
pears that M'Cusker left Enniskillen
about ten o'clock on Saturday night
on his way home. He afterwards re-
membered walking as far as Drumelay
Railway Crossing, about quarter of
mile from Enniskillen; but from that
time until he found himself about
twenty yards from home, about 2
clock on Sunday morning, his mind
was complete blank. The theory ad-
vanced by the police, who are inves-
tigating the strange affair, is Nous
ker got upon the railway line, and got
his leg injured by a passing train.
Marks Of blood upon the railway track
and on the road adjoining, would APP
pear to bear out this theory. The COR
oner's jury were unable to determine
81
but they found that there was no foul
play.
