Drawing in Aid of the Christian Brothers Schools.- The

was held in the Town Hall on St. Patrick's Day. The prizes were

Hind-sight
may be able to
historically appreciate Mr. Kavanagh more than his
contemporaries. The 1880s and '90s were a very difficult time
for relations between landlords and their tenants. And, since
this was an American newspaper, accounts may certainly have been
elaborated upon in one direction or another depending on the
target audience in America.

Discovery of Human Remains.- An
extraordinary find of human remains was recently made about a
mile and a half outside Carlow in a long, narrow exhausted
sandpit. The road contractor, requiring convenient material,
commenced to extend the excavation to the west, when the
workmen, on removing the surface and sub-soil, came on a human
skeleton. Their astonishment increased, as a foot or so farther
away they came on a second skeleton. In the end the remains of
thirteen human beings were exposed to view, lying about two and
half feet deep on the surface of the gravel and sand. The
remains were those of some people who had perished in the early
part of May, 1798, the date of the Carlow outbreak. The remains
have been decently interred.
