In no way can the Church interfere, because marriage is regarded as a civil contract ; and, as such, is relegated to the State. The law sanctions no contracts between near relations, strictly forbidding the mar- riage of persons of the same blood. It clearly defines the marriage age of the con- tracting parties, and the rights of husband, wife and children. It allows divorce, but not remarriage. Scarcely less important is the decree, recently signed, secularizing the public cemeteries. All religious de- nominations are permitted to own and ad- minister their own private places of burial. Hints to Sheep Raisers. Mr, Avard, the well-known dealer in cattle and sheep, has thrown out a few hints to the farmers of this Island in refer- ence to the raising and marketing of sheep and lambs. He says: ** For many years lL have been engaged in the business of handl- ing sheep and lambs for the markets in the Dominion and the United States. There is one point in particular I wish to call attention to, Gand that $s to have ail ran lambs attended to in the spring that they intend for sale in the fa'l. They thrive better when this is done, and make meat that is more in demand by purchasers, be- sides increasing the value of most of the the lambs of this kinds at least fifty cents each when they are held late in the season. All lambs and sheep should be changed in their pastures every three or four weeks, as the pastures become stale and the change makes _ the sheep do better. Farmers should always see that they put their sheep in good pas- ture with plenty of water. Of course I mean good short pasture suitable for sheep. When this is done they will find it greatly to their advantage in a monetary point of view. On account of the above suggestions not being carried out by farmers heretofore, quite a number of poor lambe are left over every season, These lambs eventually be- come unfit for export market, and find their way to the canneries at a loss to the raiser, Another thiag: most people hold their ewes too long. None of these should be held longer than five years. They should then be disposed of when farmers could get a fair price for them. After that time they produce less wool and take more feed, costing more to keep, end finally have to be sold at a loss for canning purposes.” P= — —— Gilt Edged Butter.—Sanderson d: Co. make a specialty of butter, and have now on hand a large quantity of choice family butter war- ranted to please the most fastidious.

SOU | arrangewents have been | Gladstone Greatly Pleased on Hearing of the Result. 'Parnell’s Constituency Con- demns Him. — Lonpon, Dec, 8.—The opponents of Par- nell, who withdrew from the Nationalist meeting in a body on Saturday, afterwards held a meeting in the conference room. The meeting by a unanimous vote elected Justin McCarthy chairman. It is the in- rention to appoint a council of members to assist the chair. When Mr. McCarthy had assumed the chair, the meeting proceeded to cunsider the following resolution: ‘* We, mewbeis fthe Irish Parliamentary Party, solemnly renew our adhesion to its prine.ples, in devotion to which we have never wavered ; that the lris! party is, and always must re- main, independent of all other parties ; further, we declare we will never entertain any proposal for aettlement of the Home Rale question «xcept such as satisfies the wpirations of the Irish party and the Irsh people” The resolution, which was pro- posed by Mr. Timothy Healy and seconded by Mr. Sexton, was unanimously adopted. Che result was immediately communicated to Mr. Gladstone. Upon learning what ihad been done, Mr. Gladstone said, '** Thank God, Home Kule is saved.” The conference of the party was prolong- fed until after midnight on Saturday night. Mr. McCarthy presided throughout the session. A committee consisting of Messrs. | Murphy, Barry, Morrough, Healy, Sexton and Power was appointed to draft the pro- spectus for a limited company to establish a newspaper in Ireland, to be devoted to the interests of the Nationalist party. Harry Webb, treasurer of the new com- pany, opened a list, and the members _pre- sent subscribed £1,020. It is probable that United Ireland will become a daily publication. The nominal capital of the company proposed isto be £100,000, of which £30,000 will be paid up. The majority of the party are keenly alive to the disadvantage of the leading Nationalist papers siding with Parnell and the whole ef the machinery of the Nation- al League being under his control. They are hopeful, however, that the bishops and priests will assist to obtain a popu'ar ver- dict. Both sides are preparing for an inimediate campaign in Ireland. A meeting of Na- tionalists was held in Pheenix Park, Dub- lin, yesterday. The Lord Mayor, who pre- sided, moved a resolution that Parnell was alone fitted to lead the nation. He chal- lenged Parneli’s opponents, whom he char- acterized as political lepers, to come to Ire- land and see how they would be received. The resolution was carried unanimously ; also a vote of thanks to these who support- ed Parnell. The crowd burned the effigy of Healy, end kicked the remains about the park amid the shouts of derision. Otherwise the meeting was orderly. At Longford there was a stormy meeting of the local branch of the National League. An attemp{ was made to rescind the vote of confidence in Parnell, which had previously been adopted, but this was defeated bya vote of 39 to 41. In Cork city, Parnell’s constituency, the National Leagues unanimously condemned Parnell and approved of the action of Healy, who also represents the city of Cork in par- liament. In Maryboregh the priest seceded from the league because of the adoption of a vote of confidence in Parnell. The vote was passed bya majority ofone. At other meet- ings in Maryborough the manifesto of tle irish hierarchy was read by the priests, but notwithstanding this, resolutions expressing confidence in Parnell were in every instance carried. The Trish parliamentary fund, amounting to £20,000, remains under the control of Parnell, with the exception of £1,200, which is in the haads of the treasurer. Justin McCarthy denies there was a scene of disorder when he and his associates left the Irish caucus and says: ‘‘On the contrary, when 1 returned to the recom for my coat, which I had left behind me, Parnell’s fellow- ers took the opportunity to shake hands cor- dially with me, and all expressed regret at the split in the party.” ln response to a call issued by Jnstin Me- Carthy, leader of the anti-Parnellite section of the Irish party, ali the members of the party opposed to Parnell assemb'ed to day to turther consider the line wf policy to be adopted. A council ecemprising eight members was appointed to assist McCarthy in deciding the future action of the par'y and an adj »urnment until two o'clock to morrow. The O’'Goiman Mahon, member of pavlia- ment for Carlow County, who introdced Par- nell to Mra, O'Shea, has only been dissuaded from challenging Parnell by his physician. Mahon is 87 years old.

The storm of the 1st inst. was something extraordinary. The oldest people here say that they never saw such a high tide. It rose over the wharves and damaged quite an amount of starch and salt which Prowse & Sons had in a building on their wharf.
