ANGLO-CELT MARCH 23, 1854 MARK OF RESPECT--On yesterday and this day a number of men assembled with proper equipments in Croobany, to harrow and sow the farm of Counsellor HILL, which, it will be remembered, was ploughed for him in the same spirit some six or eight weeks ago. Right zealously did they apply themselves to the accomplishment of their labour of love; and now that it is all finished, we may state our opinion, that no work ever redounded more to the credit of him that was passive, or of them that were active, than the tilling of the farm in Croobany. If Counsellor HILL deserved not the honour, he would not have obtained it, if the people deserved not the kindnesses for which they gave the honour, they would never have been so grateful. First came the rich with their offereings of gold, then the people with the sweat of their brow, and even in the latter case, there was a distinction to be noticed, for while none but County Cavan men were at the ploughing, none but County Longford men were at the sowing; each would do its own part, and would not allow another to share with them the burden; of a verity, there are good agents in Ireland yet, and the Irish people are indeed generous. We subjoin a list of those who came, each a distance of at least fifteen miles, with horses and harrows: Philip REILLY, for Mr. Robert WALPOLE, Arva; Chas. REILLY, bailiff; Pat DUFFY, Fyohara; Pat DUFFY, do; Pat DUFFY, do; Owen SHERIDAN, do; Michael REILLY, do; Pat LEAVEY, do; James DUFFY, do; James DUFFY, do; John MORRIS, do; Denis LEAVEY, Pat LEAVEY, do; Pat BRIODY, do. ___________________________________ PATRICK'S DAY IN CAVAN. About three o'clock a.m. the band, which, by the way, we are sorry to see so little cared for by the inhabitants of the town, commenced to play and proceeded round the town executing "Patrick's Day,", the Sprig of Shillelah," &c., in a most creditable and spirit stirring manner. In the evening they went again through the town, to the great gratification of us all, when, strange to say, they were stopped, and the names of every one of them taken down by the police..... ___________________________________ The intended reduction of postage between this country and the colonies to a uniform rate of sixpence on letters not weighing more than half an ounce is now about to come into operation.
