    2. Irish-American August 2, 1857 News from Ireland Tipperary - On Monday, June 29th, as Pat SLATTERY, who resides at Dunbarrow, about three miles from Nenagh, was on his way home from the town, he was attacked at the upper end of Pound Street, by three men, who beat him severely. A grown lad named GLEESON, a fiddler, from Silver Street, Nenagh, was saved from drowning lately by Mr. Nion TUCKER. GLEESON had gone to bathe, and being unable to swim took with him a pair of blown bladders, attached to each other by a piece of cord, which passed under his breast. With these he struck out to swim, and went on very well for a short time, but his accessories being moved back from their proper position by the force of the current, his body was overbalanced and his head brought under water. Fortunately, Mr. TUCKER being near at hand, and seeing the young man's perilous position, came to his assistance and rescued him.
