Irish-American July 4, 1857 News from Ireland Tyrone - On Tuesday, June the 9th, an Oliver WHITENSIDE, aged seventeen years, son of Mr. W. WHITENSIDE, a respectable farmer in Killycalpy, about two miles from Stewartstown, was on his way home from the turf bog, with a shovel on his shoulder, he was overtaken by a thunder storm, and was struck with the electric fluid, which deprived him of life on the spot. Mr. McGAUGHEY, of Omagh, has been declared contractor for building the new Convent there, his estimate being much below any of the others, 5,022 pounds. The personal property of the late Hon. and Rev. Charles DUGLAS, of Tyrone, has been proved under his will at 2,000 pounds. Galway - On the fair day of Galway, as a man named GILMORE, from Carabrowne, was proceeding towards home, he was attacked by the two men named FLEMMING, father and son, and very cruelly treated. When knocked down the younger FLEMMING stabbed him with a knife and then made off. The father and sister were arrested that evening, and committed to prison. GILMORE was removed to the county infirmary, where his wounds were dressed. Young FLEMMING was arrested soon after and lodged in jail. The two men and the girl have been admitted to bail. On the 6th of June, about eleven o'clock, a young man named CONNELL was driving a cart from Athenry to Tuam, and within a very short distance of his house, going along a small boreen, the cart and mule were upset into a deep rut or pit on the road side, and the deceased, being at the time asleep inside a box or crate which was fixed on the cart, was suffocated before any assistance reached him. He was only 22 years of age, and was the chief support of his aged parents. We have seen some splendid specimens of new potatoes grown in the open air, on the lands of Ardfey, the property of James BLAKE, Esq. The gardener is Thomas DONNELLAN. They are a fine specimen of the productiveness of the season. The speculations in exportation of potatoes from Ireland have completely failed. The prices in Dublin, Liverpool and London are lower than at home.
