The Leabhar Gabhala, or "Book of Invasions"
(or Conquests), — the third of those alluded to by
Colgan, — is perhaps the most important of the
three.

THE SENTIMENTS of our SUBSCRIBERS
Ala — Mobile, Rev. M F Filan, St. Mary's, F S
M'Cosker, per Mr M'Cosker. Barring Mr McEn¬
iry, Kansas City, Mr M'Cosker has sent more sub¬
scribers to the Gael than any other two Gaels and
he says that "All the fish are not caught yet."
Mass — Boston, P Doody — Lawrence, T Griffin,
T Maun, P Foly,. Dr. McGauran, per Mr Griffin
— Three Rivers, D Fogarty.
Me — Portland, P Hanrahan, M Hanrahan, per
P Hanrahan, who reports that during a mission in
the city a few weeks ago, the Rev. P J Cunniff
preached six times in Irish, and went around to
the houses to visit old people who could not go to
the church. Mr Hanrahan adds that the Father
liked the Gael very much and promised to give it
substantial support.
Mich — Ewen, J Halley — Muskegon, Rev Fath¬
er McNamara, Counselor FH Bassett, P Barry,
all per Mr M Downey, Montague.
N Y — Brooklynn, Hon Col Dempsey, per Mr.
Wm O'Grady.
N H — Manchester, M O'Dowd, J McGuire, per
Mr O'Dowd.

W Va — Wheeling, Squire Wm Mannion, Thos.
Howley, per Dillon J McCormick; M Grogan per
P Gilligan: J McFadden, Miss Maggie Finegan,
J Burns, M Joice, E Meally, J Myles, per Antho¬
ny Lally, the last being the 30th subscriber recei¬
ved through his means since the 16th of De¬
cember last — a painful commentary on the boast¬
ed "Gaelic activity" of the Gaels of New York and
other large cities. — Gentlemen, instead of boast¬
ing you ought to hide yourselves and not let an
intelligent public see that you are so devoid of
common understanding as not to perceive that un¬
less you circulate your literature vour labor is
in vain.
Wis — Pine Bluffs, Rev. I A Klein.
Canada — Sheenboro, Rey M Shalloe.
Ireland. —
Cork — Comountain N S, D O'Leary, per Rev.
E D Cleaver, Dolgelly, N Wales.
Donegal — Fanad, J C O'Boyce, also, per Mr.
Cleaver.
Galway — Cong, Mrs Killeen — Kilroe, P Garvey
— Cloughanover, J Garvey — Spiddal, D Duggan,
all per Mr Cleaver,
Kerry — Camps, J Deane — Dingle, the Rev Bro¬
thers, per Mr Thomas Griffin, Lawrence, Mass —
Portmagee, T Hurley — Kilmakerrin, F Lynch —
Ferriter, M Manning, three last per Mr Cleaver.
Mayo — Greenans, M Gillan, per Mr Cleaver.
England — St. Helens, Chas. Gilligan, per P Gilli¬
gan, Wheeling, W Va.
Wales — Dolgelly, Rev. E D Cleaver, £2. for self
and the ten National Teachers enumerated above
as receiving the Gael from his bounty. Need we
comment on this? — Puisne Irishmen go and hide
yourselves!
In enumerating the Certificated Teachers in the
last Gael some names were passed over, including
those of Messrs. D Lynch, Philipstown, Dunleer,
Co. Louth, and J O'Callaghan, St Stephen's, Wa¬
terford.
Now, as we are entering on the Tenth Volume,
we expect all who are in arrears to clear up. Re¬
member that though the individual indebtedness
be small, en masse, it amounts to a good deal; and
in gratitude for not being totally erased from the
American Directory, you ought to discharge your
obligations to the little friend that kept you there.
We Say to all our readers (and we shall accept
no excuse from any, new or old subscriber,) just
as soon as you receive this Gael (dont wait to read
it all) go out and show your Irish-American neigh¬
bors the sorry figure they cut beside the other na¬
tionalities — get them to subscribe, and send us the
subscription (less the cost of sending it). Point out
to those whom you canvass the effectiveness of the
Gael in its mission because it presents historical
facts, with the language itself as a clinching of the
truth of its contention; that if the editor appears
bold in his expressions, it is because of the unas-
sailable ground on which stands — truth. Let all
do this, and we shall have 3,000 new subscribers
for the next issue.
We hope that all able to do so will write more
or less in Irish when sending communications as
we are desirous of making a record of such, i.e.,
those who have not already done so.
There are thousands in America to-day who'd
give a dollar for Dr. McHale's poem, and a $1,000
to be able to read the original
