STEWART ESTATE AND RECORDS OF THE PORT 1\ND BO&OVGH OF KILLYBEGS A Correspondent reported that beaiutuully bound volumes of the aJbove were lying in an out-house in the town of ~i1lylbegS. Mr. Rupert o C'och.lainn and the Editor made a special trjp to Killybegs--0nly t.o find that a number of them were burned recently and that the gesent occu;pier of the wem.·ises had placed his winter's suwiy of turf over the remaining volumes. Will samebody in Killyibegs kindly arrange to have these valuable county records salved and depaSited in the Ooqnty Lrbrary at Lifford until such time as County Archives are established? AS OTHERS SAW US ". . . . The ancient Irish families bere can be yet distinguJs!hed by their forms and features. The Q'Donnells a.re corpulent and heavy, with Illlalldy faces and acqUUine noses. The O'~les are ruddy and stout ~ctures of health when well :fed. 'Illie J.14,ac D~vitts are tall and slender, with iel;lgh visa.ges. The O'Doughertyis are stout and chie:fti:ainlike, stiff, stubborn and unbending, much degenerated in their peasantt stiate, but have all good f,aces. The Mac Sweeneys are spirited and tali: but of pale or reagh colour. Among· them all the O'Boyles and O'[)ooghertys are by far the finiesit human animals. I do not believe' that the men of Tirconnell are at all so much Improved as those of the south; of:tsprings of the intermarnia.ge of the iancient Iris!h with the Nbrmans a.nd cromwellia,ns."
