Visions and Portents
The disturbed state of the popular | mind in Ireland is reflected in the stories of miraculous happenings of visions and apparitions that are being circulated. The latest of these days (says the "Daily Sketch") comes from Galwey, where it is reported that apparitions of the Blessed Virgin have been seen by several persons in a wood near Augh7im f some miles from North Ballinaslse. A similar apparition is recorded to have appeared before the battle of Aughrim, while it was from Galway that a story came some weeks ago of a new-born baby who foretold the end of the war, and died before events discredited the prophecy. A week ago Koscommon St. Colmcillo's black pig that"was to be the harbinger of disaster in Ireland. In this case the pig with its family, appeared out of a crack in the ground, thus plainly intimating that its usual place of abode was down below. The animal was intclligbly shy, and only allowed herself and her family of bonhams to appear to the children of St. Colmcille.
