It is with much regret we record the death of the Rev. Wynne Peyton, late curate of Dysart; parish in this diocese. He died on Saturday night, 29th December, at his father's residence, near Drumlyon chapel, in the 29th year of his age. His death was not at all unexpected, he has been ill for the last two years, although labouring zealously on the mission up to a few months before his demise. He caught a severe cold after being removed about two years ago from Frenchpark in the depth of winter, and when beginning to recover he was removed from Frenchpark to Dysart, which brought on a relapse, and from that relapse he never rallied. Deceased was fifth son of Wynne Peyton, Esq., of Springfield. In early youth he gave signs of a vocation and was devoted, like another Samuel, by his pious mother to serve in God's Temple. He studied for several years in Cardinal Wiseman's college, and was sent after to the Irish College, Paris. Since his ordination he laboured like an Apostle during his short but brillian career, and the example of zeal he set will be long remembered by all who knew him. He was a man of promise and of talent. In him the diocese of Elphin has lost one of her most devoted priests. There was a solemn requiem mass on Monday for the Rev. Mr. Peyton, at which the Rev. Michael O'Beirne, C.C., Croghan, was celebrant; Very Rev. Dr. Dawson, deacon, and Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald (Carrick-on-Shannon), sub-deacon, assisted by the neighbouring clergy. He was interred on New Year's Day in Ardcarne churchyard, where his beloved mother reposed, and we have not witness for a long time past so large a concourse of people at any funeral, nor such manifestations of real, genuine, heart-felt sorrow. --- May he rest in peace. --- Roscommon Herald.

DEATH OF THE REV. W. PEYTON, C.C. --- We sincerely regret to have to record the death of the Rev. Wynne Peyton, late curate of Dysart, in this diocese. One of the most amiable of men, and an indefatigable minister of God, the death of this young clergyman is deeply mourned by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance, and by none more than by the poor, who were so much indebted to his active benevolence. The lamented gentleman, whose death took place on the 29th ult., at his father's residence, Drumlyon, was for some time labouring under illness, and in consequence was unable to undertake active duty for two or three months to his decease. On the 31st viz., there was a solemn requiem mass for this lamented clergyman, the Rev. Mr. O'Beirne, C.C., Killucan, as a priest celebrant; the Very Rev. Dr. Dawson, V.G., as deacon; and the Rev. Thomas Fitzgerald, subdeacon. The funeral took place on New Year's Day, when the mortal remains of the Rev. Mr. Peyton were interred in the churchyard of Ardcarna; the sincere regrets of those present testifying to the real worth of this excellent clergyman who has gone to reap the reward of the good and faithful servant. --- Sligo Champion.
