   you see Jimmie? " " I have not, but yon's the Deiuvle's (?) wife! " When I went abroad to the Antipodes I left orders that when Jimmie was laid to his rest a wreath should be placed on his grave.

   Just before you reach Carrick House,there is a haunted spot on the left, called 'Piper's HIll. Finn M'Cool's piper, living on the other side of the lough passed under the bed of the lough through a passage and nearly emerged on the spot on our side, but not quite. He is still there; at Hallow E'en you may hear him playing; and singing,
   "I doot, I doot, I'll ever get oot,
   The farther I go the deeper I git".
   Passing on, we soon come to an "ancient fortification"
