A small subscription, which was raised for the purpose of sustaining
the failing walls of Buttevant Abbey, in the County of Cork, is about
to be followed by Mr. Thomas Tobin, of Ballincollig, taking measures to
uphold the Castle of Buttevant.
The same good spirit animates Mr. Odell, the proprietor of Ardmore, in
the County of Waterford, who has determined to preserve the west gable
of the Old Church, which is covered over with figures that, according
to Ryland's History of Waterford, "with a good imagination, and some
knowledge of the ancient Scriptures, may be made to exhibit an epitome
of the history of the Old Testament."
