and killed one man on the sloop.

sevcnty-two years, has just arrived
at Ballymacoda. ten miles from Mid
Teton, his native spot, which he had
not seen since March. 1867. and where
he was well remembered for the lead
ing and conspicuous part he had taken
in the Fenian Rising in company with
Capt. Mcclure and Peter O'Neill
Crowley. AS a young man Mr.. Gull

not again return to Ireland, and went
to the United States from whence he
has just now returned home. to live

We ask nothing for ourselves that we
are not willing should be enjoyed by
others. What we ask for ourselves,
we are willing to concede to anyone
who can make equal claims.
We Catholics believe and we will
always maintain that in this country
there should be no Interference on the
part of the state in religious affairs.
The two societies, the Church and the
state, are supreme, each in its own
respective sphere, and there should be
no appropriation Of state money for
sectarian purposes. We do not desire
the city to give us one penny as Catho-
lies. but we do want the city to re-
imburse us as citizens for the money
we as citizens expend for general edu-
cation purposes that would otherwise
be of necessity covered by municipal
taxation.

conformists, Wesleyans, and Jews.
Even today the Catholic population in
England is very small minority and
