POTATO DISEASE.

A MEETING of the parishioners of Liscarrol was held in the
parish Chapel on Sunday, the 13th inst., (at which the Rev.
William Golden presided), for the purpose of ascertaining
the probable amount of injury done to the potato crop in
that locality ; and to transmit the substance of the
information derived, to the proper authorities. The accounts
given of the gradual progress of the disease were truly
appaling, and to judge from analogy ; the prospects are
gloomy, desponding, and deplorable.

--The Cork Examiner, 21 January 1846
