It will be seen by our obituary, that Mr. John M'CHLEARY the esteemed and respected Steward of Farnham, died at his residence there, on the 6th inst. His remains were on Tuesday laid in their last resting place in Kilgore; and the esteem in which he was held by all classes was amply testified by the unusually large and respectable cortege that followed his remains. Devotional exercises were engaged in at the grave, and a solemn and impressive address delivered by Rev. James CARSON, who had been his minister for twenty-five years; and who then bore the highest testimony to his worth, as a man and a Christian, and regretted his loss to himself as a sincere and constant friend, and to the Church as an influential and consistent member. After the Rev. Mr. Carson had concluded the solemn service, Lord Farnham read from a paper the following gratifying testimony to the worth of our departed friend, announcing his intention to place the words on a Tablet to be erected by him to his memory over his grave. "Among his last words was his expressed 'trust in Christ, as the Author and finisher of his faith.'" He was for 31 years Land Steward at Farnham. Ever firm in his faithfulness to his employers, he was affectionately esteemed by them; and gentle and considerate towards those under him, and tenderly regardful of their well-being and comfort, he earned their confidence and will long live in their grateful recollection. SUDDEN DEATH IN ATHLONE BARRACKS. - On Friday afternoon, a pensioner named John BROWN, aged 43, went in with the recruiting sergeant of the Roscommon Militia to the military hospital, Athlone Barracks, to be examined by Surgeon-Major HEATH, of the 88th Connaught Rangers, as to his fitness to join the militia. The medical examination had just concluded when deceased fell upon the surgery room floor and instantly expired, of, it is supposed, heart disease. A strange incident occurred which may have tended to the fatal occurrence. Deceased was joining the militia, and was supposed to be a civilian; but subsequently a discharge was found upon his person certifying that he formerly belonged to the 58th Regiment, and that he was granted sixpence per diem for a limited period. On turning round after being examined, he accosted an hospital assistant who belonged to his former regiment. The enterprise, it is surmised, may have had an injurious effect upon him. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. - At the recent "Little-go" Examination, Messrs. Charles and Robert MEESE were placed in the second rank for distinguished answering. At the last examination for Classical Honors in the Senior freshman Class, Mr. C. Meese obtained 8th of the first rank, and Mr. R. Meese, 1st of the second rank. We are happy to chronicle the latest successes of these two gentlemen, the first named of whom enjoys a Royal Scholarship. They were educated at Cavan Royal School. BAILIEBORO PARISH CHURCH.
