The __sites and sessions are held here for the county. The public buildings of Maryborough are the church a small but neat stone building, the Catholic chapel, now building, which will, when finished, be handsome and spacious, the infirmary, the sunday and day schools, supported by subscription, and the gaol, an ancient building, in which much attention is paid to cleanliness, and the prisoners are instructed in reading and writing at the expense of the county. From the town there is a view of the stupendous rock of Dun Mase ?, formerly an insulated and strong fortification. It is ___ about three miles on the road to Stradbally, and __ worthy the minute researches of the antiquities (?).
