OBITUARY.

TWO DISTINGUISHED PRELATES. Beoeived July 24,1.5 a.m, London, July 23. The deaths are announced of Cardinal tedoehowski and Dr. Croke, Roman Arch, bishop of Cashel.

Cardinal Ledoohowski, Archbishop of Gnesen and Posen, and Primate of Poland, was born in 1822 at Qork, of an illustrious Polish family. In 1884 the Pope appointed the Cardinal to be Secretary of Memorials, which necessitated his living in Borne, and resigning his aichiepiscopal seat. This concession to the Prussian authorities put an end to attacks which the Prussian Government had made on Cardinal Ledoohowski, who in January, 1892, was appointed Prefect of the Propaganda. Archbishop Croke was born near the town of Mallow, County Cork, in 1824. After being engaged in missionary work in the diocese of Cloyne, he was appointed president of St Column's College, Fermoy, and in 1865 he was appointed parish priest of Doneraile and chancellor of the diocese of Cloyne. Five years later he accepted the bishopric of Auckland, New Zealand, where he remained until 1874. In 1875 he was promoted to the Archiepisoopal See of Cashel, Of late years Dr. Croke’s name was conspicuous by its connection with the Land League and Irish Nationalist movements.
