Venerable Journalist Passes.

Patrick Donahue died in Boston the other day, aged 91. He founded the Boston Pilot in the early thirties and brught out such literary lights as Thomas D’Arcy Magee, John Boyle O’Reilly, Edmund Drummond and others. During the late civil war he had charge of the recruiting of the

Massachusetts Irish regiments, thereby temporarily impoverishing his fortune. In later years he regained wealth in the publishing business. In his younger days Mr. Donahue had few equals, as a public orator.
