VISIT TO MR. PARNELL.  " Mr. F. H. O'Do,ii&l, M. l ~ visited Kilinsinlorn gaol on Monday, and had interviews with Mr I'' 'li, Mr. Dillon, Mr. O'Keliy, and Dr. Kenny. This is a-narrative of the visit in Mr. 0 Donnell vui langu iFe. Mr. O'Donnell came away with a atronr Feeling that the treatment inflicted on the siti,je tale in complete violist' m of the pledges givrn to Parliament by the Government on the introduction • f t .e Coercion Bill. The warders and officers appear t• be courteous and attentive, and the multiplied vex.stionn must be solely set down to the directions of superior auth..ritiest. All the g-ntl-men visited by Mr. O'Donned h.d the wearied look of men who e health is being stea dermined by close air, bad lodging, and serious want of exercise, but tinier cover of the ordinary conversation permitted by the strict rules Imposed by the Goveenment, the sentiment of the distinguished prisoners were easily seen to be unchanged. Mr. Parnell is fully acquainted with the progress of events. Mr. O'D nnell inspected with curiosity the special hut built for the occupation of the two armed policemen who watch Mr. Parnell's cell window at night. As the bad weather and gloomy days continue the darkness of the cells and the difficulty of taking exercise in such open air as is available will inerease. It seems to be extremely strange that ths Government does not even employ reflectors, whieh might lighten the darkness of the cells. When the prisoners are reduced to prison fsre--whose coarseness Is another violation of the pledges given to Pariiament—the consequence may be excee tingly serious." What is believed to be a deliberate murder took place on Monday night in the neighbourhood of Dromore, county Down. The holy of a farmer namsd M'Cornieli was found in a ditch besring marks of violence. The baste of the skull was fractured and the jaws broken. Inquiries were made, and a policeman, pl. weeding to Belfast, arrested a fanner named Hugh Hamilton, re•iding in the neighbourhood of Dromore, who had just takeu a ticket by one of the cross Channel steamers.  Michael lisyton, the second suspect arrested under the Coercion Act, waa released from Kilmainham gaol, on Tuesday, owing t ill-health. On Monichy nivht a contingent of constabulary returning to Kilfinane from seine evictions at Bruff were attacked by a mob with stones. The police fixed bayonets and charged the people, dispersing them. The latter, however, returned, and were avain charged before they would retire. Some arrests will be made.  I'arties of armed men on Monday night attacked the houses of James Reddon and Patrick Allen, near Barlield, three miles from Ennis. Several shots were fired in each instance, and Redden narrowly ese,aoed beir,g struck by a bullet, which lodged over the fire-place. An extraordinary scene took pl,ce at the Roman Catholic Chapel at Kanturk, on Sunday. The Rev. Canon Dennehy denounced the Children's Land League recently started in the town, Raving that children reared in such an organisation became like the Reds of Paris, who had no religion, and were never baptised. A large body of the congregatiol rJse from their Rea, and walked out of the chapel. A wealthy farmer, named Moore, was fired at by a party of disguised men at Newbrook, near Claremorrie, on Sunday night. The Duhallow hounds were stopped on Saturday. They met at Billygiblin, ancithaving found there, ran to Castlecor and killed. Another fox was started at Caatlecor, and the hounds were in full cry when an organised mob crowded the fences and threw stones at the dogs and threatened the members of the hunt. The huntsman, it is said, was struck, and the sport was brought to an abrupt termination. The members of the South Union Hounds, which up to this have enjoyed immunity from "Boycotting," have received notice that in future the farmers of the district over which they have hunted will not allow them to hunt over the ground any longer. Throughout the south of Ireland hunting may be said to have received a serious chock, if it be not entirely doomed.
