   Well mind you, they say that it is not a lucky sign to see the two ends of a rainbow meeting the ground in the one parish. It happened in Fedamore and before a week was up, A---B--- was dead. No then, he was not an old man, nor a delicate man, but the reverse. He was a strong man.They say that the bad luck that it brings must fall on some body or some thing, beast or otherwise.
