Longford.— The Longford Guardians, as the sanitary authority recently had under consideration four schemes for a water supply— two from Mr. Gurney, C.E., of Belfast ; two from Mr. Moynan, County burveyor, and one from Mr. Harton, C.E ., of Dublin. The following are the estimates : Moynan (Clonhugh scheme), L 5.621 la 8d ; Gurney TAa^'Xt 7 ' JSJ S 8d ( Goshea scheme), L 5.655, 7s Od ; Harton, do., 1.4,800. M r- Harton proposes taking the water from the Goschen stream to a reservoir in Tooifin and from thence distributing it all through Longford. Ihe cost would be L 4.800, involving an annual outlay of L 225, or le^s than 8j in the £ on the valuation of the contributory area, half of which would have to be paid by the landlord. The catchment basin contains 900 acres, and, taking fifteen inches of rain as available, gives a supply of 826,000 gallons per day. The reservoir is to contain 4,000,000 gallons, or about forty days' supply. All the schemes propose to supply the water by gravitation. A letter was read from Mr. Leonard, of Dublin, regretting that he had not his plans prepared iv time, and recommending the guardians to adopt a pumping scheme, such as that proposed by him in Mullingar. The Board decided on sending the schemes to an independent engineer for his opinion, and also to have an analysis of the water proposed to be supplied to the town.

LouTH.—On July 8, a man named W. Townley, whose name came prominently before the public in connection with the drowning of tbe man Martin of Bawntaffe, at Dominick's bridge, Drogheda met with a terrible accident. He with other men was engaged' unloading the " Eliz-bpth Conway " ; some kind of " larking" took place among the parties discharging the coals in course of which Townley fell into tue hold, his head striking the keelson, breaking his jaw and causing concussion of the brain. He was removed to the hospital, where he lies in a critical condition. Two men named Tumalti and Flood, who were working with him, were placed under arrest, and having been brought before a magistrate were liberated on tbeir own recognizance. There was recently offered for sale in the Land Court : Estate of Mrs. Maria Susan Cole, owner and petitioner— Part of the lands of Dillonstown, 174 a2r 23p, in the barony of Ardee ; held in fee simple ; let to statutory tenants ; net yearly rental, L 172 3s 5d • tenement valuation, L 157 10s.

On July 20, Mr. Henry Robinson held a sworn inquiry by direction of the Local Board, in the Drogheda Workhouse, into the scheme recommended by the Guardians for the construction of 428 houses for labourers within the several districts of the Union. Witnesses in favour of and against the scheme were examined The inquiry is likely to last for two or three days. Tde Lord Chancellor has appointed Mr. James Murphy, Jr., Seafield, Blackrock, Dundalk, to the Commission of Peace for the county Louth.

On July 19, a Tery handsome presentation was made by the Dunda k Temperance Association to the Very Rev. Thomas Taaffe P.P., Tullyallan, who, when C.C., in Dundalk, was spiritual director to that admirable sodality. About oue hundred of the members accompanied by the brass band of the association attended.

Mr. M'Kevitt the hon secretary, read and presented an illuminated address, to which Father Taafie made a suitable reply.

MAYO. — On July 20, during the temporary Absence of the owner of a cabin, on the property of Captain J. C. Sheffield, of Carradoyne, the sheriff's bailiff forced open the door, and, after throwing out the furniture, which consisted of a chair, table, and sume delph, proceeded to tumble down the roof, which was no very hard matter. This notorious sherriff's bailiff was accompanied by an ex-policeman of the " Captain," who supplied the instrument of warfare. The cabin, which measured eleven Jieet by seven, is now levelled to the ground, owing to the diligei.ce of this ex-policeman, who sported the lily on the Twelth, and tried to excito the peaceable inhabitants of the district where he lives.

The Assize reports continue to be rather monotonous literature. In all places save Kerry and Claie, the comment of the judges is almost a bit of dull reiteration,— little or no work to be done. It is a striking fact that in places where the deepest poverty exists, such as the county Mayo, there is the least amount of crime. There is, indeed, all but an utter absence of crime in Mayo — especially crime which might be looked for naturally where destitution prevails— offences against property. But things of this kind will ncv L r be published as they ought to be. It is part of the infernal policy of the vile scribes who cater for the English market, to keep any facts which redound to the credit of the Irish peasantry carefully out of Tiew, while magnifying a thousand-fold anytbing that might be by possibility twisted to their discredit. Mbath.— The mission which was opened in Kells by four of the Vicentian Fathers was brought to a close on July 11. The mission all through was a great success, the spacious parish church capable of accommodating over 2,000 being crowded to excess during all the different religious exercises ; but the congregation which attended its close was so great that fully one-half the people had to content themselves outside the church, and were glad to get near the windows to hear what they could of the sermon which was eloquently preached by Father O'Connor. On July 19th, very Rev. Father Denis (Eganton), of the Congregation of the Passion, died in St. Joseph's Retreat, Highgate, London. He had been ailing for some months past, The deceased clergyman was in the 46th year of his age, and born on the 24th of April, 1840, at Dunshauglin, county Meath. On 18th February, 1862, he entered the Order of the Passionists, and having pursued his studies for some years afterwaids, he was ordained priest at St. Paul's retreat, Harold's Cross. Dublin, in the year 1868. A short time after hia ordination he went to the Passionist English Mission in Paris, where he continued during the war between France and Prussia and when the German legions beleagured the city, Father Dennis during all the long aDddreadful seige.did most noble and effective work in the service of his Master. He was only a short time in the French capital when he was made Superior of the Mission, ami as Superior he resided there for six years. At the end of this period he was transferred to Rome, where he was appointed Consul tor-General of his Order, a high office, which he held for two years. He then returned to his n itive land, for which he had a great earnest love, and went to Belfast a3 the iiector or Superior of Holy Cross, Ardoyne. For three yeurs he laboured there. Father Denis on his removal from Ardojne, was appointed I'iovincial Consultor-General of the Passionists for Ireland and England, and this office he held, when about six months ago he was stricken down with the illness which attended him to the grave. Queen's County. — Mr. Henry A. Robinson, L G, Q., recently held an inquiry with reference to a scheme for the erectiou of upwards of ninety laborers' dwellings in tne Mountmellick Union. The proceedings created a considerable amount of public interest. Among the witnesses examined was R^v. J. Phelan, P. P., Maryborough, who gave evidence with reference to the proposal to erect 23 laborers' cottage fur the Maryborough election division. He had, he said, visited Leicebter lane, and could fairly say that out of 36 houses there only one was at all fit for hahiution. Great satisfaction is felt in Edenderry by the many friends of Mr. John Kennedy, and particularly by his father's old political associates, on account of the brilliant examination he has just gone through for the excise, having secured twenty-tourlh place out of 2,000 competitois. Mr. Kennedy is a son of Mr. Thomas Kennedy, formerly of Edenderry, and now of Baliinasloe, and was educated solely by Mr. Jas. Horan of the National Scbo >ls Edenderry. ROSCOMMON. — Mr. Arthur Hamill, Q. 0., Cnairman of Sligo and Roscommon, died on July 19th. Mr. Hanaill held the position of County Court Judge and chahman of Quarter Session for the two important counties of Sligo and Roscommon, He was called to the Bar in 1853, and took silk in 1869. The deceased was extremely popular in the profession. SLIGO. — Rosses Point is fast increasing in importance and popularity as a watering place and a pleasure ri'-ort for the people of Sligo and the neighboring dis f iicts. To the hard-wurked inhabitants of Sligo town it is a Sandymount or a Saltbill where they may spend the pleasant hours of leisure, unw jrried by the proximity of care and sniff the health-giving zephyrs drifting oz me-laden f.om the fresh bosom of the briny deep. Thither resort chiefly on summer Sundays, " the young and gay, beautilul and brave, 1 ' of Sligo by every mode of locomotion known to civilized or savage man, from " Shank's mare " — one of the safest and most primitive — to the elegant and most commodious "Tynemouth," now running on Sunday evenings between Sligo and the Point. — —Tippkrary. —On July 22. !the profession of Miss Ellen Ryan, daughter of Mr. John Ryan, of Black Castle, Thutles, and now known in her religious order as Sister M. Lucy, took place in the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy. New Inn, Cahir. The Town Council of Clonmel, presided over by the Mayor, resolved, on July 20, on the motion of Mr. Clancy, who spoke of the Prtmitr's great service to Ireland, to change the name of the principal street, Johnston street, to Gladstone s.reet. Johnston was an English general who fought in Ireland during the rebellion of '98. It was also decided to confer on Mr. Gladstone the free iom of the borough of Cloumel as an expression of public gratitude to him for his efforts to obtain for Ireland the restoration of her native Parliament. A full council attended,

Tyrone. — The Omagh cattle show was held in the Flax, Market yard, on July 21. The number of entries were fewer than in previoui years, and in consequence of the early park of the day being wet, the number of visitors was also much less than formerly. However, the community may be congratulated on the success which on all occasions attends the society show, and which is mainly due to carefully regulated and efficient management. For some reason or other, the usual horse jumping competition was not held in connection with the show this year, which somewhat lessened its attraction.

At a Nationalist meeting at Stewartstown on July 14 a number of Orangemen endeavoured to create a disturbance. Naturally this irritated the Nationalists, and lest any violence should result Dr. Tanner went among the people and advised them to keep quiet. When Dr. Tanner came close to where the Orangemen were gathered he was howled at, and one fellow more defiant than hiß " loyal " brothers dealt a few blows at him, one of which hit him on the shoulder. The doctor at once returned the compliment in kind, and the Orangeman came to the ground. A riot now seemed imminent, but the police opportunely arrived on the scene and prevented the opposing parties trom coming together. No sooner, however, was order restored by the energetic action of the police than Capt, Waring, the resident magistrate in command, proceeded to read the Riot Act with a view apparently of preventing any further progress being made with Mr. Reynolds' meeting. Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Leamy, M. P., seeing the course that waa being adopted, jumped off the brake from which the people were being addressed, and protested in vigorous terms against any interference with their constitutional right of holding the meeting. The protest had the desired effect, and the meeting was allowed to proceed, and beyond the hooting of the Orangemen in the distance nothing further occured to disturb the speaking. Dr. Tannet has been summoned for assault. Waterford. — The following sale was made in the Land Court, on July 23. — Estate of Assignees of William Terry; Pierce Kelly, petitioner.

Westmeath. — A young man named Thomas Pairhurst was knocked down and fatally injured at Mullingar fair green by a runaway horse who took fright at some fireworks. Wexford —On July 16 Mr. Connor, Deputy Sub- Sheriff, offered for sale in the bounty Court House, Wexford, six farms on tbe estate ot William Madden Glascott, Pilltown, New Boss. tlev. P. Doyle, Arthurstown, represented the tenants. Mr. Fossett appeared for the Pioperty Defence Association. Father Doyle, on behalf of the tenants offered the rents less 25 percent. This waa declined by the landlord's representive, and the farms were 'then put up for sale.

The names of the farmers are : Michael Forrestal, Ballykelly and Whitechurch ; Mary Hanlon, Ballykelly and Ballyfarnogue; John Lyng, Oldcourt (two farms) ; James Forrestal, Whitechurch and Ballykelly ; Johanna Condon, Whitechurch.

The grand jury were resworn, and there were only seven cases to be tried.
