THE LATE BISHOP MORAN.
A few hours before Bishop M iran died, he insisted upon having his couch drawn to the window of his room, in order that he might see the fuueral procession of the Cathedral sacristan, Mr Joseph McCawe, who died on the previous Sunday. The Bishop's defective eyesight prevented him at first from discerning any objects at such a distance, and ho called for his far-seeing spectacles. These were handed to him, and with their aid he was enabled to see the funeral procession. " I'll be the next,' : were hia words as he sank back, and less than three hours after.varda his earthly struggle was a* an end.
