VISIT TO MR. PARNELL.  " Mr. F. H. O'Do•ole 1, M.P., visited Kilcu gaol on Monday, and had interviews with Mr P 014114/, Mr. Dillon, Mr. O'Ketty, and Dr. Kenny. This is i a narrative of the visit n Mr. 0 Donnell's ov n langulge. Mr. O'Donnell came away with a strong feeling that the treatment inflicted on the sul.je ts is in complete violation of the pledges givan to Parlia-, ment by the Government on the introduction of the Coercion Biil. The warders and officers al yea • t be courteous and attentive, and the multiplied vexations must be solely set down to the directions of superior authorities. All the g-oit1:-.rnen visited by Mr. O'Don. nell h A the wearied look of men who-e health is being stea lily tit derinined by close air, bad lodging, and serious want of exercise, but under 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 emelt 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 increase. It seems to be extremely strange that ths Government does not even employ reflectors, which might lighten the darkness of the cells. When the prisoners are reduced to prison fare—whose coarseness Is another violation of the pledges given to Parliament—the consequence may be excevingly serious." What 14 believed to be a deliberate murder took place on Monday night in the neighbourhood of Dromore, county Down. The body of a farmer named M'Cornish was found in a ditch bearino. marks of violence. The base of the skull was fractured and the jsws broken. Inquires were made, and a policeman, proceeding to Belfast, arrested a farmer named Hugh Hamilton, reiding in the neighbourhood of Dromorc, who had jnst taken a ticket by one of the cross Channel steamers.  Michael Boyton, the second suspect arrested under the Coercion Act, was released from Kilmainham gaol, on Tuesday, owing t.) ;11-health. On Mondly night a contingent of constabulary returning to Kilfinane from some evictions at ?Sniff were attacked by a mob with stones. The police fixed bayonets and charged the people, dispersing them. The latter, however, returned, and were azain charged before they would retire. Some arrests will be made.  Parties 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 Reddon narrowly escaped being struck by a bullet, which lodged over the fire-place. An extraordinary scene took place at the Roman Catholic Chapel at Kanturk, on Sunday. The Rev. Canon Dennehy denounced the Children's Land League recently started in the town, saying 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 congregation vase from their seats and walked out of the chapel. A wealthy farmer, named Moore, was fired at by a party of disguised men at Newbrook, near Claremorns, on Sunday night. The Dube,llow hounds were stopped on Saturday. They met at Ballygiblin, and having found there, ran to Castlecor and killed. Another spx was started at Castlecor, 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 check, if it be not entirely doomed.
