A very interesting lecture, entitled
Some Facts About Kilkenny" was de-
livered in the Gaelic League rooms,
Rothes Arch, on the 18th ult., by T. W.
O'Hanrahan, ]. P, vice president. Rev.
Brother Macartin, Superior, De La
Sale School, st. Johns, in proposing a
hearty vote of thanks to the lecturer,
said that Mr.. O'Hanrahan deserved
credit for having kept the Gaelic
League alive in Kilkenny for the past
| sixteen years.
The great esteem in which the late
Mrs. P Lennon was held by the citi-
zens of Kilkenny was testified by the
large and representative funeral pro.
cession which followed her remains to

Mayor and members of the Corpora
ton were present; the local l. N. v.
marched and the Kilkenny branch of
the Gaelic League, of which deceased
had been a prominent member, was
largely represented.
