DELIGHT OF THE GROUSE AT THE PROSPECT OF A LATE SESSION.
PAX VOBISCUM.
The Irish constituencies being now completely in the hands of their spiritual advisers, it is contemplated that henceforth the Speaker's writ for a new election in Ireland shall be directed to the priests of the vacant locality. The Reverend gentlemen are to meet (whiskey toddy and tobacco to be charged to the county), and their endorsement of their tool's name on the back of the writ, without any other form of election, is to save all the riot and bloodshed which they now feel it their duty to their Church and their consciences to cause, if a layman, Catholic or Protestant, ventures to present himself to the electors without priestly sanction. Anything for peace and quietness.
THE FARMER'S MAGIC STROP.
The genius of Mr. Mechi has sharpened many razors:—may it have a corresponding effect upon agricultural blades.
