chuimhne a bheith ag duine chun na datai seo a choinneail os comhair a intinne. Le cois an eolais seo ar an aimsir bhiodh cuntas sa leabhar ar na lantai mara, rud a d'fh6ir d6ibh sin a bhi ina gc6nai in aice an chladaigh. Thug seo eolas d6ibh fan am a b'fhearr le bad a thiomaint, le traigh fheamnai na leathaigh a dheanamh, cnuasach tra a dheanamh agus de reir sin. Bhiodh feilire na miosa san almanag fosta agus chuirti sios rud inteacht suimiuil a tharia i gcothrom an lae sin blianta fada roimhe sin. Bhiodh, mar shampla, rudai den ts6rt seo sa liosta acu: January 6th: The Night of The Big Wind, 1839 May 6th: The Phoenix Park Murders 1882 May 15th: · Death ofDaniel O'Connell at Genoa, 184.7 July 14th: The Fall of the Bastille, 1879 September 16th: Napper Tandy lands at Rutland, Co. Donegal, 1798 November 19th: Death of Theobald Wolfe Tone, 1798 December 17th: Execution of Pat O'Donnell at Newgate, 1883. Creidim, mar sin, gurb iomai duine a d'fhoghlaim tus a chuid staire fad6 6 leabhrai ar n6s "Old Moore's Almanac". Shuiodh paisti thart ar an tine san oiche agus chuireadh siad amach na datai seo ar a cheile, n6 i gcas ar bith, an meid sin acu a thuig siad fein go maith. I deanta na firinne, b'shin mar chuir me fein eolas ar sceal Phaidi Mhicheail Airt an chead la riamh! Chuir muid ceisteanna ar na seandaoini ina dhiaidh sin agus fuair muid amach iomlan an sceil. Ni raibh raidi6 n6 teilifis ag daoine an uair sin ach ni raibh la riamh neJch mbiodh amhrain le cluinstin ag daoine, is cuma goide an phairt de Eirinn arb as iad. Ba mhinic muid ag eisteacht le "My name is Pat O'Donnell and I come from Donegal': n6, b'fheidir, "In Newgate's gloomy prison, They dug a narrowgrave, And in it lay O'Donnell the bravest of the brave". Hinsiodh duinn fosta fa na daoine sin as na Rosa a chuaigh fad an bhealaigh go Gaoth Dobhair an Domhnach geimhridh ud, cead bliain 6 shin, gheall ar a bheith i lathair ag "t6rramh" an duine bhoicht i Machaire Gathl6n. Rinneadh Paidi Mhicheail Airt a chrochadh i bpriosun Newgate ar an 17u de mhi na Nollag, 1883, agus mi ina dhia1dh sin a bhi an t6rramh. As na Rosa an laud, thainig P6draig Mac a' Bh6ird lPaidi Maistir) as an Chltidigh; · Seamas Og Mac Suibhne as Leac Eanach; Aodh Mac Suibhne (Hiudan Bhriain) as an bhaile cheanna agus Antoine 0 GaHach6ir (Antoine Chonaill} as an Choing-Leim i nGleann na hEUite. Nil feidhm domh a ra nach raibh traen na bus na sort ar bith mar sin ann san am agus gur ar side-car n6 carr cliathanach a rinne siad a t-aistear soir agus anoir go Gaoth Dobhair. Bhi brainse de Chumann An Talaimh bunaithe ins na Rosa an uair sin agus i measc na muintire a bhi pairteach ann, bhi Paidi M6istir seo as an Cheideadh. Ba mhinic litreacha i gcl6 aige an uair sin ar an "Derry Journal" ag cur sios ar imeachtai airithe de chuid an Chumainn ins na Rosa, agus frid an Chontae uilig.
