Arthur ELLIS ARCHER, Rector of Aghadoe, youngest son of the late Charles PALMER ARCHER, Esq., J.P., of Kiillidreenan, County Wicklow, in the 55th year of his age. HETHERINGTON - Dec. 24th, at Deggan, Cavan, Rebecca, youngest daughter of Alexander HETHERINGTON, aged 1 year and 5 months. MARRIAGE. BROWN and HILL - December 23rd, at the parish church, Drung, by the Rev. R. J. HOPE, A.M., Constable E. BROWN, R.I.C., Bailieborough, to Sarah, second daughter of the late Wm. HILL, Mullinacrieff. THE LATE MAJOR PHILLIPS. On Saturday last, the 23rd instant, Major Michael PHILLIPS died at his residence, Glenview, Belturbet, in the eightieth year of his age. For nearly twenty years he was the efficient Deputy Grand Master of the Orangemen of the County of Cavan; and on the retirement of the late Mr. W. HUMPHYRS, he was appointed Grand Master for the County, which office he continued to hold until the time of his death. He took great interest in everything connected with the Orange Institution; he was greatly beloved by his brethren of this loyal order; while those who differed from him in politics and religion respected him very highly for his manly courtesy and consistency. He served as Ensign and Lieutenant in the old Cavan Militia before the disembodiment in 1816; and upon their being called up again in 1855, he joined the regiment as Captain, and continued to serve until 1876, when he retired with the honourary rank of Major. At the time of his decease, he was the senior Justice of the Peace and Grand Juror in the County. He was also a member of the Kilmore Diocesan Synod and of the Diocesan Council; one of the Parochial Nominators for the Parish of Drumlane; a Member of the General Synod of the Church of Ireland; one of the Trustees of the Cavan Protestant Hall; and a Member of the Board of Superintendence of the County Prison, &c. The fact that he filled so many important offices is in itself strong testimony of the high esteem in which he was generally held. Notwithstanding the ripe age to which he had attained, he will be much missed in the County; and sincerely and deservedly regretted, not only by those who were brought into association with him in public life, but also in the more private circle where he was known and esteemed. DEATH OF MAJOR PHILLIPS, J.P., GLENVIEW. The Protestants of the county Cavan will learn with regret the death of this venerable and esteemed gentleman, which took place at his residence, Glenview, Belturbet, on Saturday evening, the 23rd inst. He was a man remarkable for unfailing energy and health, which continued till lately. His health had been failing for some time, and a few weeks ago symptoms set in, that presaged a fatal termination. He will be much missed in the many honorary offices he filled, the duties of which he discharged with a conscientiousness that might well teach a lesson to younger men. The Orangemen of county Cavan will especially feel his loss, for his attachment to the system was long, hearty, and sincere; and his wise counsels and vigilance were beneficially felt in the prosperity of the Institution. He was directly descended from Sir Thomas PHILLIPS, who, in the reign of Elizabeth, James and Charles I., played such a distinguished part in the affairs of this country, and who, as one of the Commissioners for the settlement of Ulster, and for the improvement of the military resources of the kingdom, and subsequently as chief Governor of the county of Derry, left such permanent marks of his great talents in the successful settlement of the North of Ireland. Sir Thomas and his family were distinguished loyalists, and naturally enough took the part of the King against the Parliament, and spared neither their lives nor fortunes in the Royal cause. While many families then obscure, have since acquitted high title and great estates, by always taking the winning side, and whose members consequently figure in the annals of the country, by drawing largely out of the public purse, this family has never been stained with place or pension, and as a consequence, have always preserved those political and religious principles, that first made them distinguished. True to the instincts of his race, Major Phillips was a Protestant in whom there was no trimming, no pandering to what he believed to be wrong for the sake of advantage or popularity. He was a just, fearless, and impartial magistrate; a kind and feeling landlord to his tenants, by whom he was regarded with the fondest friendship and admiration, and a sincere and loyal member of the Irish Church. He possessed very considerable artistic talents, and that natural delicacy of taste and breeding that seems in many instances to be the especial heirloom of families. The funeral left his late residence on Wednesday, the 27th, at 12 o'clock, for Drumlane Parish Church. The funeral was large and respectably attended, although the inclemency of the weather rendered it impossible for those living at a distance to attend. The two sons of the deceased, the Rev. Thos. G. PHILLIPS, Rector of Killoughter; and Henry PHILLIPS, Esq., M.D., Reading, were the chief mourners. The surrounding gentry were well and largely represented, and the Orangemen accompanied the remains of their late worthy chief to the grave. Owing to the great severity of the weather, there was not as large an assemblage of the Orangemen of the county as they themselves would have liked; but there are few professing the principles of the brotherhood who will not be sorry that they were unable to be present to do honour to his remains. The funeral service was read by the Rector, the Rev. Robert LEECH, who, before the remains were consigned to their last resting place, addressed those present briefly as follows:- My friends, we are assembled together to consign to the grave the remains of one who has lived long among you; who took a keen interest in your welfare; who lived a blameless, an active, and an honourable life, and whose place it will be hard to fill. We shall miss him especially in this Parish. His own people - his tenants shall miss him much, for he went in and out as a father among them, and was indeed beloved and honoured by them. The Protestants of this Parish shall miss him also, for he was unwearied in his efforts to preserve to you and yours the ministrations of religion, and much of his time and wise counsel were given in helping to place our Church in this Parish on a stable financial basis. We shall miss also his form, so well known and so much respected; for he showed us all an example by the regularity of his attendance at the house of God, and at the Lord's Table. Sunday after Sunday he was present, generally walking, if the weather at all permitted, a distance of three miles, teaching the people of the Parish by his example, that where the heart yearns after the Courts of the Lord's house, the feet will be willing to tread the way. His life was one of quiet and unobtrusive piety, a life, the sustaining principle of which was seen in the beautiful order and arrangement of a consistent character, and in a holy walk and conversation. He was a consistent Protestant, one with whom religious principles, being found to be true, became the rule of his life. Hence he was not ashamed to confess openly before men, principles he believed to be of such vital importance both for the well-being of society, and the advancement of true religion. Protestant truth ever found in him a steady advocate, and error a determined opponent. Following the noble example of his forefathers, he struck to his principles through evil as well as through good report, and was the same when Protestant principles were despised; as when returning reason has convinced men, for the time, that they alone can be depended on for the safety of the Empire. Finally our departed friend was a true Christian; one whose life more than his words gave evidence of the strength of the grace within, who had long served his God, and who when the summons came was ready to meet it. Words uttered over the grave of a dear friend should have some influence with those who knew him, and the lessons his life teaches you are very important - whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might as he did all he undertook to do. Then be true and honest in your religious profession. Let the vitality of your religion be seen in a blameless walk, in an honourable life, and in attendance at the Lord's house, and at the means of grace; and above all things, don't put off preparation till the last. Time for us will soon be no more. Soon the shores of the illimitable ocean will open upon your view; then the only thing you can carry with you, the only thing that will avail you, are those noble principles that you may now by the help of God implant in your souls - justice, love of truth, honesty of principle, a sincere desire for the welfare of others, and the soul itself washed and sanctified through the blood of the Redeemer. THE CHURCH OF IRELAND. Diocese of Kilmore, Elphin, and Ardagh. - The Lord Bishop of Kilmore held an ordination in Kilmore Cathedral, on Sunday, the 24th inst., when the following gentlemen were admitted to holy orders: - Deacons - John BLACK, Sen. Soph. T..D., for the curacy of Kiltoghart diocese of Ardagh; Henry Francis WHITE, T.C.D., for the curacy of Kilkeevan and Oran, diocese of Elphin. Priests - Thomas Heron ALDWELL, Sen. Soph., T.C.D., for Dowra, diocese of Kilmore; Robert M'GREGOR, A.B., T.C.D., for the curacy of Slavin, diocese of Clogher, on letters dismissory from the Lord Primate. The previous examination was conducted by the Bishop, Rev. S. SHOUE, A.M., and Rev. W. H. HUTCHINSON, LL.D., on the 22nd and 23rd instant. The ordination sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Hutchinson (on L.Timothyiv.16), who also presented the candidates. The Bishop of Kilmore has appointed the Rev. James GULLY, M.A., to the Precentorship of Elphin Cathedral; the Rev. W. C. M'CAUSLAND, A.M., to the Prebend of Fallintubber, Elphin Cathedral; the Rev. William CREEK, A.M., to the rural deanery of Kildallon, diocese of Kilmore; and the Rev. A. M. KEARNEY, A.B., to the rural deanery of Sligo, diocese of Elphin. DRAMATIC CLUB AT BELTURBET. - The amateur dramatic club, which has been lately formed in Belturbet, at athe instance of the leading inhabitants, in conjunction with the detachment of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, at present quartered there,a gave two performances in the Town Hall, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 19th and 20th inst. Both were attended by the elite of the country. The performance commenced with a witty prologue, read by Dr. THOMSON, which was followed by Tom TAYLOR's celebrated comedy, "Still Waters Run Deep." Mr. J. ATWELL, as Mr. Potter, has seldom been surpassed. The Captain Hawksley of Corporal BOND was most forcibly performed. Mr. J. BERRY undertook the difficult character of John Mildmay, acquitting himself well. Dr. Thomson, as Dunbilk, that "Prince of prospectus-mongers," exhibited great versatility. Troop Sergeant-Major FLINT, as Gimlet, was the right man in the right place. As regards Mrs. Stimbold and Mrs. Mildmay, we have only to mention that athe characters were most admirably portrayed by Miss Millie MORTON and Miss Jessie KIRK, of Dublin celebrity. During the interval between the comedy and farce, the audience were entertained by the vocalization of Mr. H. S. MOORE, and the display of muscular power exhibited by Troop Sergeant-Major FLINT, in his exercises with the Indian club, exhibited gymnastic abilities of no mean order. The performance concluded with the laughable farce of "The Wandering Minstrel," in which Mr. SHOOLBRED, as Jem Baggs, created much merriment. Mr. GALLAGHER, as Herbert Carol, fully justified his vocal popularity. Corporatl EGERTON played Mr. Crincum in his usual quiet effective style. Sergeant-Major FLINT, as Tweedle, acted the scientific musician to the life. The other characters were most ably filled. The orchestral band of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards played during the evening, several operatic, national, and popular selections. (Cavan County Newspaper Transcription Project)

Sub-Constable HAYDEN summoned a man named JONES, for assaulting a Railway porter at Cavan Station.

A young man named STUART, clerk in Croydon Post Office, who was on Saturday night left alone in the office to complete his sorting and stamping duty, was found on Monday morning quite dead., his body, in a kneeling position, being suspended by the neck from the gas pipe in an upper room of the building. The deceased had tied together vrrious (sic) pieces of string, with which thus to effect suicide. The event created great sensation, as no motive is assigned for the commission of the deed, and deceased was only about 17 years of age. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. On Saturday morning Mrs. Margaret VAUGHAN, aged about 40 years, the widow of a distinguished naval officer, who for many years served upon the Viceregal staff, terminated her existence, by cutting her throat with a carving knife. It appears that for some time Mrs. Vaughan, who lived at Stradbroke Hall, Blackrock, had been attended by Dr. M'DOWELL, of Merrion-square, for a mental affection, and a nurse named Eliza SKERRETT had been placed in charge of her. The nurse slept on a couch placed beside the bed of the lady. During the night Mrs. Vaughan would seem to have risen from her bed unknown to the nurse, and descended to the lower parlours of the house in her nightdress, and obtained a large carving knife, with which she cut her throat. When the nurse awoke between 6 and 7 o'clock, she became alarmed at Mrs. Vaughan's absence, and immediately instituted a search for her. On reaching the back parlour she found the unfortunate lady lying on the carpet in a pool of blood, with a carving knife at her hand. Dr. GRIFFIN, of Blackrock, was summoned to the house, but he pronounced life to be extinct. In the course of the afternoon Dr. HARTY, county coroner, attended and held an inquest, when the jury returned a verdict to the effect that deceased had committed suicide while in an unsound state of mind. Captain Vaughan commanded the naval brigade, whose march from Calcutta and Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny of 1857, was one of the brightest episodes of that thrilling time. Previous to this he had played a most gallant part in the Crimean war, and was sitting in the boat beside his superior officer, Captain PEEL, when the brave commander fell beneath a Russian bullet. Returning to Ireland, his native country, after the Indian Mutiny, he was invited by Lord Carlisle, whose acquaintance he had made long before in Constantinople, to accept a post as aide-de-camp on the Viceregal staff. He was a special favourite with his Excellency and had a large circle of attached friends in Dublin. On his marriage he resigned his post on the staff and retired to live in comparative privacy at Stradbroke Hall. His death took place about three years ago. A small bottle of Guinness's porter can be purchased anywhere for two pence. This is the retail price, and the profit to the manufacturer must be infinitesimal. Yet rain-drops make the river, and the ocean of profit realized by the Messrs. Guinness is simply amazing. Sir Benjamin Guinness paid income tax on £56,000 a year. It is stated in town that the profits realized by the Messrs. Guinness's brewery amount to the magnificent figure of £100,000 per annum, and the partnership has been dissolved upon the terms that Sir Arthur is to receive £1,000,000, or 20 years' purchase of £50,000 a year. I have also heard that Mr. E. Cecil Guinness, who becomes the sole owner of the brewery, offered to draw a cheque of one million pounds, his brother's share of the concern. We have been accustomed to think a cheque for £40,000 or £50,000 a wonderful document, and to look upon the drawer with curiosity and astonishment, but we are utterly lost in wonder at the idea of a fellow-citizen offering to draw a cheque and pay down the coin to a cool million. I can imagine the amazement of the bank cashier to whom the cheque would be presented, and the blank consternation of the manager at the sudden demand, and his probable inability to meet it without realizing securities. The population of England is 39,000,000, and I doubt if twenty individuals out of that number could draw a cheque for a like sum with the certainty of its being honoured. The citizens of Dublin ought to be proud that they possess in their midst a business of such gigantic proportions. There are not, I should say, more than half a dozen such private concerns - I was going to say in the United Kingdom - but, on second thoughts, will say the world.

LANDSLIP NEAR BAILIEBOROUGH. - On the night of Saturday, the 2nd inst., several perches of meadow and roadway moved a considerable distance from the side of a hill at Carnalynch, near Bailieborough. Hundreds of spectators visited the place since the occurrence. ALARMING ACCIDENT AT ENNISKILLEN. On Monday last, an accident of an alarming nature, and which nearly resulted in a fatal termination, occurred to a young man named Thomas CONNELLY, from Cootehill. It appears he had been through the fair during the day, in the enjoyment of his usual robust health, and, with a couple of friends, adjourned to the eating-house of Mr. W. DANE, Townhall-street, for the purpose of having dinner. Shortly after reaching a room on the drawing-room landing, he was himself the first to observe a pool of blood on the floor where he sat. He, with his friends, then adjourned to another room, when a young girl, a servant in the house, observed the blood and raised an alarm. The stream was then traced from the room which Connelly had just vacated to the one in which he was, and his friends observed him looking rather pale. The girl, seeing another pool of blood at his feet, at once exclaimed that he was bleeding; almost at the same moment he grew faint from loss of blood, and staggered towards the door; assisted by his friends, he reached the yard, where it became apparent that a vein in his left leg had given way, and the blood was pouring out in an alarming quantity. Dr. TERNAN, of the Medical Hall was hastily summoned, and being, fortunately, at hand, was on the spot at once. On his arrival he found the blood spouting from a burst vein in the man's leg, and the man himself in a state of perfect collapse. The doctor at once stopped the bleeding, had the man removed up stairs, and applied the most powerful remedies to restore animation. In this endeavour, he was, fortunately, successful; and, having got the patient into bed and used warm applications, &c., the young man gradually recovered so far as to be left in safety for the night. The doctor, however, visited him at a late hour, and firmly bandaged the injured limb. His friends having been telegraphed to his mother and a male relative arrived by the 11 a.m. train on Tuesday morning, and the doctor allowed him to leave with them for home by the evening train. CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS. - Monday. (Before W. BABINGTON, Esq.) Mr. J. HASSETT summoned Patt RUDDY, of Glassdrummon, for carrying a gun without having first obtained a gun license. James MALONEY proved the case. He was fined £2 10s. and costs. Sub-Constable Lynch summoned Owen SWEENY for assaulting him. Sent to gaol for a month. The Guardians of Cavan Union summoned Thos. DORAN and Bridget HENRY for neglecting to make a sewer on their premises. Ordered to have it made before the 8th of January next. A number of persons were fined for having light weights in their possession, and also for being drunk or "going on the racket." STRANGE INCIDENT AT CARRICK-FERGUS. On Saturday night last, an incident of a somewhat remarkable nature occurred at the house of a respectable farmer named Robert HILDITCH, situate on the great commons, a few miles distant from this town. It appears that while the inmates of the house were attending to their domestic duties, they were startled by an explosion about the fire-place in the kitchen, which slightly injured some members of the family. As might be expected, considerable alarm prevailed within, thinking that a gun had been fired down the chimney, access to which could easily be had from without by a step embankment which rises immediately at the rear of the house. No one ventured out until next morning, when an intimation was sent to Mr. Hilditch, the owner of the house, who resides on another farm close by. Mr. Hilditch proceeded to Carrickfergus, and informed the constabulary of what had taken place, and Head-Constable HAGAN, and a part of his men at once set out for the occurrence. Dr. TAGGART soon after arrived, and on examination of the faces and arms of the injured persons, he discovered small particles of coal and earth, instead of shot or slugs as had been imagined. The police made a search about the house, and convenient to the fire-place discovered a small barrel of blasting powder, about two-thirds full, which had been used for blasting purposes at limestone quarries adjacent. It is believed that some of the younger members of the family must have had access to the powder, and incautiously put some of it into the fire - hence the cause of the explosion. Fortunately, none of the family are seriously injured. EXECUTION IN NEWGATE. The execution of Charles O'DONNELL, the discharged soldier, who was convicted of the murder of his wife at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, took place at Newgate on Monday morning. The prisoner went to bed at half-past nine o'clock on Sunday night, and slept soundly until six o'clock on Monday morning, when he had his breakfast, and shortly afterwards the ordinary went to his cell and remained with him till the time arrived for the carrying out of his sentence. The prisoner prayed with apparent sincerity and earnestness, and said he admitted the justice of his sentence, and although several of the witnesses at the time had grossly slandered him, he said he forgave them freely. He walked to the scaffold with a firm step, and appeared to be praying while the usual preparations were being made by MARWOOD, the executioner. The drop then fell, and the prisoner appeared to be dead almost in an instant. DISTURBING A CONGREGATION DURING DIVINE SERVICE. - At the Killadysert Petty Sessions on Monday, before Captain M'TIERNAN, Chairman, and Rev. M. FITZGERALD, Rector, Killadysert, a man named SCANLON was charged by the constabulary with disturbing the congregation attending Divine service ot (sic) Lissycasey Catholic Chapel. The offence it appears was committed on two successive Sundays, Scanlon having on each occasion sung some songs of a patriotic and religious nature while the clergyman officiating was proceeding with his duties. Scanlon was committed to jail for one week, the offence having been satisfactorily proven. The poor man was some time since confined in an asylum. He served for a term of twenty years or more as a national teacher, but got no superannuation on his retirement some two years ago. (County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project)

Inga: The LDS haven't filmed the Killinkere parish records, but it looks like the National Library of Ireland has them, as does PRONI (Public Records Office of Northern Ireland). In each case, you'd have to pay a researcher to check them form you. It looks like they go include 1766-91 and 1842-80. Or you could ask the Cavan Heritage Centre--they'd have them too, and they're very helpful. Finally, you could ask the parish priest, but that's very unpredictable. Some are overworked and don't respond to such requests. Good luck! Diane </HTML>

Hi Listers, I have just subscribed to the list and I am keen to get started! I am looking for ways to research Hugh COX, born about 1848 in Co Cavan. He married Mary Quigly in 1877 in Dublin. He was a Commercial Traveller. According to his wedding Certificate his father was John COX, Farmer, Co. Cavan. The couple was married in the Wesleyan Church in the Parish of St. Thomas, Dublin. I hope someone can help me. Kind regards Inga Wellington, New Zealand

( Male - Female) - Surname Galligan To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Thank you, Susan, for the info. I do have the Galligan Y-DNA, as my name in Irish will testify, but as I am from Co. Limerick and not Co. Cavan, I doubt very much the results will connect me those born in Co. Cavan. You, see my earliest documentation - a grave stone inscription - has a William Galligan born about 1678; he died in 1751 in the townland and civil parish of Cahercorney, Co. Limerick. So, I have can only speculate how that unique cluster of Galligans got to Co. Limerick. My best guess is the major movement in 1601 [Battle of Kinsale, Co.Cork] when O'Neill and O'Donnell's Clans marched south, with other clans joining in on the way to fight and lose the last great battle with the English that tolled the end of the Gaelic order, my cluster likely settled on the retreat to the north of the survivors - who knows?

( Male - Female) - Surname Galligan P?draig, I started a Cullivan DNA project group because none had been created yet. It is starting slow, but I've had further inquiries and interest, so I expect it will grow as knowledge about Genealogy DNA testing increases. You could start your own Galligan DNA Surname Group, even if you do not have the Galligan Y-DNA - you would simply want to get someone who does have it tested. Galligans who have joined those other projects listed at Family Tree DNA can also join the Galligan project - everyone can join two projects. Even if those Galligans don't join, you get to see who matches your DNA string of interest from the whole database of testers who have signed an agreement to allow their results to be shared. [Keep in mind it is pretty easy to start a project. I knew next to nothing, and although it seems intimidating, I was able to accomplish it fairly well.] I joined the Yahoo Group for DNA-Newbies to learn more about this whole thing. I lurk most of the time and only read the occasional email, but it is worth joining. If you joined you could ask about Galligan projects. You might get other places to look sent to you. You can look at the Cullivan project here: http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_det.aspx?group=Cullivan There is also an interesting "Breifne Clans" project that the Cullivan members have joined, since it "is to establish Y-DNA profiles for the early Breifne Clans" of the 12th Century (covering counties Cavan and Leitrim).

Hi, Thought you would like to know that someone got the message. I did look in the a British Index for you and did not find him. I did find a Michael dob 28 Sept 1868 (later than your date), also a John but the mothers name was Catherine McCann dob 24 May 1869 (again later) and lastly Margaret dob 26 Nov. 1870 mothers name Jane McCann. Sorry I couldn't have helped you more. Geri

hi i hope some one can help me i am trying to locate my ggg grand parents john mcshane married maryann mccann their son john was born 1850 in lurgan but i am unable to locate anything. kind regards jean

Jean, If you go to the LDS website - www.familysearch.org - click on "Library", then click on "Family History Library Catalog", fill in the the "Place" search, one of the films available is of the Lurgan parish, Parochial Registers of Lurgan (Cavan) 1755-1880, Film # 926134. The film can be rented and viewed at your local Family History Center. There are two other films for Lurgan, but they are listed as being in Armagh County. Good luck.
