Death of Mr. James Macleod, Elder, Reasay.
—We simply notice this month with regret the death of this worthy office-bearer, which took place at Portree, Skye, on the 4th December. A fuller sketch is expected in a future issue.
Correction.
—In Synod Report, published last month, and under “Competent Business,” the subject of the supply of Breasclete, Lewis, was noticed. The name “Achmore” was inserted in a place where “Breasclete” should have been.
A New Work by Mr. Michael J. F. McCarthy.
— We learn that a new and extensive work on Ireland will shortly appear from this well-known Protestant writer. It will consist of two volumes on the subject of “The Irish Revolution.” The first volume, dealing with “The Murdering Time from the Land League to the First Home Rule Bill,” is expected soon to be ready. We may be sure that Mr. McCarthy’s work will shed much interesting light on Ireland’s painful history.
