Sir - I am directed by the Local Government Board for Ireland to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th inst., in reference to the enclosed book, "The Children's Friend," which it appears was found in the hands of one of the Roman Catholic children in the Cavan workhouse; and I am to state that the Local Government Board do not see any objection to this book being given to a Protestant child, but as its perusal by Roman Catholic children has been objected to by the Roman Catholic Chaplain, its distribution should be confined to the Protestant children of the Workhouse. (By Order of the Board.) B. Banks, Sec. CAVAN YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. - A paper by the Rev. W. S. LITTLE, A.B., Incumbent of Derryheen, on the Life of Luther, will be read at the next meeting of the above Association on Monday evening next. A punctual attendance of the members is requested.
