It is obvious how much power, political as well as social, is thus lodged in the hands of the dealers, and especially of the "Gombeen men." BARON'S COURT, _Wednesday, Feb.

8._--Since last night I have travelled from one extreme to the other of Irish life--from the desolation of the Rosses of Donegal to the grandly wooded, picturesque, and beautiful demesne of Baron's Court.

We made an early start from Dungloe on a capital car for Letterkenny, where we were to strike the railway for Strabane and Newtown-Stewart.

The morning was clear, but cold.

On leaving Dungloe we drove directly into a region of reclaimed land, where improvements of various kinds seemed to be going on.
