- There is a fine big mansion near Adamstown, it is held by Protestants now, but for generations it was held by Catholics. At wan time there was a man living in it by the name of Downey. He was a Catholic. The graveyard was in wan of his fields, and the fence was bad around it and the cattle used be breaking in to the graveyard. So Downey went to build a wall around it. The people objected and the priest objected. They had some row away, between Downey and the priest and Downey fired a shot at him. He didn't hit him, though. Some time after Downey got sorry for being so rash and he came beg the priest's pardon.
"You are all right", says the priest, "but I tell you this much. Adamstown will yet be without the seed or breed of a Downey". And 'twas time for him. They melt away like the froth of the river. He had about two thousand acres of and it all went, and they (the Downeys) went too the place is owned now by a Protestant named Rockwell.
