Mr.Colomb was at Killarney at the time of the Fenian rising under "General O'Connor" in 1867--a rising which was undoubtedly an indirect consequence of our own Civil War in America.

Warning came to two magistrates, of impending trouble from Cahirciveen.

Upon this Mr.Colomb immediately ordered the arrest of all passengers to arrive that day at Killarney by the "stage-car" from that place.

When the car came in at night, it brought only one person--"an awful-looking ruffian he was," said Mr.Colomb, "whom, by his square-toed shoes, we knew to be just arrived from your side of the water." He was examined, and said he was a commercial traveller, and that he had only one letter about him, a business letter, addressed to "J.

D.
Sheehan." "Have you any objection to show us that letter ?" "Certainly not," he replied very coolly, and, taking it out of his pocket, he walked toward a table on which stood a candle, as if to read it.
