Finally, to wear out In service, and at last hear the pleas¬ ing plaudit: ‘ Tis enough i come tip higher,” A sad and dramatic eviction took plnce in County Wicklow, Ireland, Wednesday. An old man named Arthur Kauavagh, in feeble health, who bad a cabin on the property of Earl Fitawillium, had fallen behind in his rent. A decree of ejectment was obtained by the Earl at the last Wicklow sessions. His gamekeeper with two bailiffs, went to execute the (leoroe Wednesday afternoon. Thsy had to carry Kavanagh out of the house, and as he was crossing the threshold of ins cabin the poor old man gave one gasp and died in the gntnekeepor’n arms. His body was laid by the roadside. Over it for twenty for hours sat his only mourner, a daughter. Kavanagh was formerly in a good position, Kavanagh had been previously a carrier between Dublin and Wick* low.

The radicals of Clarinda, Page County Iowa, had a jolification meeting on Friday night, the 5th uit. According to the Council Bluff* Xonpatiel they had the biggest kind of a time, with illuminations, and fire-works, music and speechifying. After several republican orators, among them congressman elect Hep¬ burn, had given vent to their feel¬ ings with spread eagle speeches, in¬ cluding of course with the usual abuse of democrats' the crowd called loudly for Hon, B. Cake. Cake Is a democrat, and the Nonjmrd says that he looked too depressed to speak ; but the crowd would not be put off. so he mounted u box and made the following unique speech : Fellow Citizens: A man usually attends his own funeral, but it is not expected tout he should ta k a great deal. [Laughter.] I knew the funeral ceremonies could go on without me so I concluded that 1 would bring in the body. [Laugh¬ ter.] But it takes grace to sustain a man who helps to lurnish the corpse for an occasion like this. [Laughter,] Nobody hut a d< mo crat could do it.
