Julia, Absolutely, I'm happy to do whatever I can for anyone in the group. A quick glance shows a Patrick Cappoge in the Griffith's Valuation for Corlattylannan and I will scan the page and send it to you email address tomorrow. There was also a John Cappoge there are the same time, and a Laurence Clarke as well...maybe your Bridget's, though there are certainly plenty of Clarkes' to choose from! Let me know of other townlands neighboring Corlattylannan and I will be sure to make sure I check them extra carefully. Also, let me know if your people were Catholic or Presbyterian or Church of Ireland at the time as this book list the headstone inscriptions from all the churches in the Knockbride area and I will look them over for possible entries.

Karen, I use Family Tree Maker, version 11 and so far have been pleased with it; of course that's probably because I haven't looked at anything else! It allows me to organize all the names and dates and places, has a place for notes or write-up about the person, can keep addresses, phone numbers, e-mail address, etc. for a person, and I can create multiple "trees" which enables me to keep my main family line for proven facts, but I can create "trial" lines with the various names I may be trying to piece together and figure out. I can also receive gedcom files directly into it without too much trouble. Anyway, back to the Knockbride book...the next interesting entry is the Tithe Applotment lists. The author says the Knockbride records are incomplete, but I don't know if that means in the years that his list covers or in the names that should appear on the list. At any rate, the information was supposedly collected between 1823 and 1837 (which to me is a pretty wide range) and here is what he has on your names: in Beglieve: Widow Kelly in Latsey: Robert Kelly in Tunnyfoyle: William Kelly The 40 Shilling Freeholders were as follows: (Karen, I wish I could tell you what that means, but until I read more of the text, I haven't a clue!) Samuel Kelly of Latchey William Kelly of Cappy al Cappog Robert Kelly of Latchey William Kelly of Latchey John Kelly of Latchey The Corroneary Presbyterian Church Cemetery has a headstone with the following: Erected in memory of John Kelly, Drutamon who died Nov. 12, 1927 aged 85 years, his wife Margaret Kelly who died Jan 1 1942 aged 81 years. In my brief scan of the various lists in the book I see no HART name, but I will keep my eyes open as I read it more thoroughly. I will scan the Kelly pages for you tomorrow. I will send them to your personal email, ok?

Hi All: Trying to do research on Maguire family from County Cavan. Particularly interested in marriage between Denis Maguire/McGuire to Mary Carolan (Carlan). Denis Maguire was born approximately 1850 and Mary Carolan Maguire/McGuire was born approximately 1851. There is a possibility that they initially came from County Donegal as I located two children (Bridget born 1871 and John, born 1868) both born in Donegal to Denis and Mary Maguire / McGuire. Denis and Mary went on to have two more children in County Cavan (Elizabeth in 1872 in Shercock and Hugh in Darkley in 1874). Sometime after 1874 they left Ireland for the United States and are located in the US Census of 1880 in New York (Brooklyn, Kings County). A brother Edward Maguire and his wife Catherine and children also came to the U.S., along with a brother-in-law Michael Carolan. Anyone with any information relating to this Maguire family will be appreciated. Claudia

Thank you very much, Kimberley! A cousin had searched a Griffiths index before and we believe that Patrick is ours and suspect John is his brother. I wish I had some indication of Bridget's parents' names. If Laurence was her father, his name didn't carry to his American grandchildren. Perhaps headstone inscriptions might provide a hint. I believe my ancestors were all Catholic. In Knockbride, the townlands adjoining Corlattylannan are Drumhilagh North, Kinnea, Corravilla, Agharan, and Rabane. Corlattylannan also adjoins Corraghy and Annaghieren in Shercock parish. Did you know there are some great townland maps at http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/tmoffatt/cavan/maps.html ? Smack in the middle of Knockbride parish there's a townland called Cappog, and I've often wondered if my Cappoge line originated there Thanks again! -----Original Message----- From: Kimberley Walters [mailto:walterskk@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 6:32 PM To: IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IRL-CAVAN] History of Knockbride Book wanted Julia, Absolutely, I'm happy to do whatever I can for anyone in the group.

Hi, Kimberley-- I don't know if your invitation was open to the group, but if so, as you peruse that Knockbride book, please keep an eye out for KEAPPOCK (CAPPOGE, CAPPY and other variations) in and around Corlattylannan (on the Shercock edge of Knockbride parish). My great grandmother, Annie KEAPPOCK emigrated from there to Illinois c. 1891. Her parents were Patrick KEAPPOCK and Bridget CLARK.

Yes, please do scan the pages. It is all new to me, and some of it might fit somewhere. While I'm at it, may I ask what software you have found most helpful?

I have updated the Ireland books section of my website which includes Ireland Parish History, Local History, Genealogy, History, and all other category of books pertaining to Ireland. Many have lookup volunteers. If you made a submission, please check it for accuracy. Also, if you want to add fiction/novels pertaining to Ireland, submit the book on the Ireland Book website form and use either Fiction or Novel for category. I would like to start a new webpage for this category next month. You can access this section of my website by going to the URL below my name. On my homepage, under Ireland, click on Ireland Books. This will take you to the Ireland Books Discussion Mailing List webpage and you will find the links to the book webpages near the bottom of the page. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton

Karen, Have you gone through a Griffith's Valuation for Knockbride already? I don't know wheether all that information is available on-line now or not; I know I've found a good bit on Killinkere and some other parishes. This book has the lists for Knockbride and it shows an Owen Kelly in Lisdonan....a Michael Kelly and a Bridget Kelly in Skeagh...a John Kelly, Sr. and a John Kelly, Jr. and a Patrick Kelly (apparently with a Patrick Cooney) in Killaliss...a John Kelly in Latsey...but no Hart's. In a list of Registered Weapons in Knockbride 1799-1833 it has a William Kelly in Cappy - 1 gun, 1 pistol, 1 sword, 2 bayonets...again no Hart In a list of "The Skeagh Estate Statistics - 1829" in which the author talks about tenants of Sir George Hodson, the Baronet who owned the Skeagh Estate (1591 acres) the following names appear: in Cappy: John Kelly, William Kelly in Corrakeeran: Robert Kelly with an undertenant of William McKelvey in Lisdoonan: Owen Kelly in Skeagh: William Adams with undertenants including Bridget Kelly, Michael Kelly Still further back is a list of 1820 Principal tenants in Cappy: Alexander Kelly, John Kelly Got to run take my kids to the pool, but I'll get back with you later on any more that I may find. If any of this information is new to you and you would like to know more, let me know and I will scan you the page. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cush and Karen Anthony" <cushkaren@gwi.net> To: <IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 8:28 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-CAVAN] History of Knockbride Book wanted > Hello Kimberley -- > As you look through the book, please keep an eye out for any Hart folks.

Karen, I will be happy to keep my eyes open for any Hart's or Kelly's. You have a tough search with no parish or townland to help you focus in on! Here are a few links to miscellaneous sites with the HART name and Co. Cavan references. Maybe they will add some pieces to your puzzle! An interesting note is that there is a Hart/McElwaine connection in Fort Covington NY, thought apparently no direct link to your HART's or my McELWAINE's!!! So goes it in this game!

Hello Kimberley -- As you look through the book, please keep an eye out for any Hart folks. I would SO appreciate any information, as I am having a block on my Samuel Hart who married Rebecca Kelly in Ireland before they went to Canada. I know that Samuel Hart was born in 1812 or 1814 or 1815 in Ireland (family memories say Co. Cavan was our homeland), and I know that he died in 1865 or 1866 in Canada. Rebecca Kelly m. Samuel Hart in Ireland. I don't know where. I believe they were Presbyterian. They emigrated to Canada by 1835 or earlier, based on the ages of their Canadian-born children in an 1842 census. Their male children, all born in Canada, were Maurice (Morris), James, Samuel, John, and their female children were Martha, Jane, Agnys ("Nancy"), and Anna Bella. One of their children, Maurice, had at least one child, a boy named Samuel. And I know much information from that point on. But I do not have any information about Samuel Hart's parents. Do you have any other sources you might suggest, for me to find more about his forebears? Thanks so much -- maybe they were in your book - wouldn't that be a miracle?

Barbara, I just got back from my trip to Co. Cavan last night, and I brought a copy of this book back with me!!! I cannot keep it, but am hoping to photocopy it for reference purpose only. If you recall, I was going to see if there was someone I could find while on my trip there who would be a good person for you to write to about the Seefin and Tunneyduff areas for your book. I found several people who were a tremendous help, and it turns out that most of my Drury's were also from these areas and some others. I have two people who I think would be of help to you, but I will need to write them a quick note of introduction first. As soon as I hear back from them I will let you know. One of them is a Drury (I am convinced we are related but I can't prove the connection just yet) and he lives in Tunneyduff and knows so much of the history there, and the other is a younger man who is very interested in his genealogy and the area's history as well. In the meantime, as I go through this Knockbride book I will send you anything I find that looks remotely related to these areas and your families. If you know of anything specific in it, just let me know and I'll get that out to you first. Just note, it will take me a couple days to catch my breath!

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, December 2, 1852 SIR MONTAGUE CHAPMAN, BART. - We sincerely regret to state that the most painful rumours are current respecting the fate of this high-minded and excellent Irish Gentleman. Since Sir Montague had left Sidney for Adelaide, sic months had elapsed, and no intelligence had been obtained of the vessel in which he had sailed. The members of his family in Westmeath, are naturally in a most painful state of suspense, and are looking with the deepest solicitude for the next accounts from Australia. We have been favoured with the following extract of a private letter from Rome, dated November 19:- "I have learned that the Very Rev. Dr. O'Toole has resigned the Vice-Presidency of the Queen's College, Galway. He was received in the most corteous (sic) manner by all the authorities at Rome, and was introduced to the Pope by the Cardinal Secretary of State. His holiness expressed his great regret that he could not go back of his decision, and permit him to remain in the College. Dr. O'Toole's only object in going to Rome was to obtain a dispensation for himself, he having taken office in the College before the decrees against the Clergy were either passed or ratified. - His holiness has also repeatedly stated there is no prohibition against the laity attending the Queen's Colleges." BRUTAL MURDER. - Another victim has fallen in accordance with the baneful system of "agrarian legislation." Tipperary is again disgraced by the commission of another brutal murder, perpetrated under circumstances of great atrocity. In this instance the sufferer is neither a landlord or agent, but a peasant, named HOGAN, who resided near Busherstown, in this county, but on the borders of the King's County. It appears that Hogan was evicted from his holding, but was permitted by Mr. WALKER, the agent of the property, to continue on the premises, and to get what he could for the "good will" of the place. In consequence of this permission he had agreed with a person named Kenny to resign in his favour, subject to the approval of the agent, on receiving the sum of £10, to which Kenny assented, but subsequently having endeavoured to obtain the possession of it without paying the sum agreed on, Hogan, to use the common parlance of the neighbours, "dealt" with another man,! and by reason of his having dared to do so is assigned as the cause of his murder. A party, consisting of about ten men, all of whom were armed, attacked his house on Monday night week last, and beat him in a most savage manner, from the effects of which he languished and died on Friday night last. An inquest was held on the following day, when the coroner's jury returned the verdict usual in all such cases - "Wilful murder against some persons unknown." The wife of the deceased is in so delicate a state, from the injuries she received and the effects of the fright, that her life is despaired of, so that in all probability, the result of this outrage will end in the loss of at least two lives. Sub-Inspector MORGAN and the police of his district are actively employed endeavouring to trace out the perpetrators of this barbarous murder. Strong suspicion attaches to KENNY, who stated that he never left his house on the day of the occurrence; but it has been proved that he ! was seen drinking that day with a large party in the village of Toomavara. - Saunder's News Letter. REJOICING AT KILLECAR. - As soon as it became known (on Saturday last) that John Albert NESBITT, Esq., had become the purchaser of the lands of Drumasladdy and Killecar, preparations were made by those residing in the neighbourhood to show their respect for him by having bonfires. As night set in, the surrounding hills of Drumlane, Drumashaddy, Killecar, &c., &c., were brilliantly lighted with the barrels, where hundreds collected who gave loud and hearty cheers for Mr. Nesbitt, and wishing that he may live long to enjoy a property upon which he had expended so much money in improvements. After drinking his health in a sufficient quantity of "Jamieson's best" they retired peaceably to their homes. REPRESENTATION OF CARLOW. - Mr. Francis MACDONOUGH, the highly distinguished Queen's Councel, (sic) has addressed the electors of Carlow as a candidate for the seat left vacant by the death of the late Colonel BRUEN. Mr. Macdonagh offers himself on P__lite (?)? and Free-trade principles. DIED. At her residence in Main-street, Cavan, on Tuesday the 26th November, Araminia ERSKINE. At Brooklyn, near New York, on the 3d of November, Mrs. Eliza MONTGOMERY, late of Cavan. DEATH OF LADY LOVELACE, DAUGHTER OF LORD BYRON. On Saturday the Lady Ada Augusta, "sole daughter of Byron's house and heart," expired after a lingering illness of more than one year's duration, at No. 6, Great Cumberland-place. She was born in 1816, at the noble poet's town residence, 122 Piccadilly, and was, like her illustrious father, in the 37th year of her age when she died. Writing to Mr. Murray from Venice, Feb. 2, 1818, Byron says - "I have a great love for little Ada, and I look forward to her as the pillar of my old age, should I ever reach that desolate period, which I hope not." From Bologna, 7th June, 1819, he again writes: - I have not heard of my little Ada, the Electra of my Mycenae, "but there will come a day of reckoning, even should I not live to see it. On the 8th July, 1835, the poet's daughter was united to Lord King, subsequently, in 1838, created Earl of Lovelace, a connection by which the lineage of John LOCKE was blended with that of Byron. Much of the interest which attaches to the daughters of Milton and Shakespeare was left in the decased (sic) lady wherever the English language is spoken, and to a large circle of private friends her death will be a source of sincere sorrow. Highly gifted, and endowed with a large share of father's vivid temperament, she delighted in intellectual as well as benevolent and kindly pursuits, "one of her most intimate and prized confidantes" having been for many years that intelligent judge of female excellence, Mrs. JAMESON. To that lady's pen we should refer the public for a true appreciation of her character. County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan: Thursday, January 8, 1857 DIED On the 21st ultimo, after a protracted illness, which she bore with Christian patience, and fortified by all the consolations of religion, Miss Susan M'CABE, niece of the Rev' Hugh DE LACY, P.P., Kiltinagh, and sister of Terence M'CABE, Esq., proprietor of the Carlisle Hotel, Dublin. She was kind to all, and benevolent to the poor; and her worth was attested by her remains being attended to their lasr resting place by the gentry and people of the country, with 13 clergymen, and the Vicar-General of the Diocese. There were thirteen Masses, and a High Mass offered on the day of interment, for the repose of her soul, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord:" "from henceforth saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their laboure: for their works follow them." Requiescat in peace. "The Anglo Celt" Cavan: Thursday, January 15, 1857 DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION. An inquest was held on Thursday last, by William Pollock, Esq., one of the coroners for this county, on view of the body of Patrick DALTON, a Railway Constable at Cullaboy crossing, who was found dead in his sentry-box. It appeared from the evidence that, another Constable, name M' Cormick, seeing the box on fire, shouted to him, who was inside, and receiving no answer, he broke the door and found Dalton dead, as well as a dog, which he kept, with him. The box was full of smoke, and it turned out that the deceased had brought some coals into it, to protect him against the severity of the weather, and these, in the closeness of the box, had generated the cause of his death. The jury found that the deceased died of suffocation, and they added, that it would better if the railway regulations allowed to watchmen the use of fire. Dalton had been several years in the employment of the company and was always noted as a sober, steady man. BIRTH At Warwick-terrace, Belgravia, the wife of John Brady, Esq., M.P., prematurely, of a son, stillborn. "The Anglo Celt" Cavan: Thursday, January 22, 1857 MARRIED On the 23rd ult., at the Cathedral, in the city of St. John, Antigua, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the diocese, William Mercer, Esq., to Mary Anne Haynes, eldest daughter of Mr. Edward Fegan, of Cavan. DIED On Tuesday, the 20th instant, at Killegary, near Cavan, Mr. Michael Olwill, an old and much esteemed inhabitant of this locality. To-day his remains were accompanied to Annageliffe by such a number from all parts as showed well the universal esteem in which he was held. Jan 8, at Bracklow, in this county, Jane, eldest daughter of the late Captain Mark Kerr.

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, November 18, 1852 THE DROGHEDA STEAM-BOATS. - The Leinster Lass steamer, Captain TOKER, with a full cargo, sailed from our quay on Wednesday evening last, and, after encountering the severe easterly gale of that night, arrived all safe at Liverpool on Thursday evening. The Faugh-a-Ballagh, Captain JOHNSTON, sailed from Liverpool on Thursday evening last, and, after nobly braving the disastrous gale of that night, arrived all safe at our quay on yesterday morning - thus giving a further proof of the excellence of our superior steamers. - Drogheda Argus. SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE. Further Particulars. BALBRIGGAN, Nov. 15. - About six o'clock last night signals, as if from a vessel at sea in distress, were heard. Mr. BARRET, R.N., the coast guard officer at this station, sent one of his men to look out and on learning that there was a large vessel near the harbour in distress, he and his men immediately proceeded along the coast, lighted a fire, and at intervals, for several hours, set up rockets. The vessel proved to be the barque Young England, belonging to Mr. Wright of Kinderkaine, bound from Singapore to Liverpool with a cargo of rice, sago, Gambia blocks of gutta percha, &c. From five to one o'clock in the morning no boat would venture out to her relief, from the heavy sea breaking along the coast. At that hour the Rev. A. SYNGE, rector of Arran, Mr. Barret, R. N., his son, Mr. W. Barrett, and some of the coat guard, put off for the wreck in Mr. H. A. HAMILTON's boat. They succeeded in reaching it and bringing of the captain and 8 of the crew. A second attempt to reach the wreck failed. There were seven men in the rigging. At about six o'clock in the morning, Mr. Barret, his son, and four of the coast guard put off in the boat belonging to the service, and after about two hours succeeded in reaching the vessel and taking off the seven who remained. Thus making sixteen persons rescued from a watery grave. Wm. SUDBURY, royal marines, of H. M. steamer Armese, was a passenger, and died on deck in the evening from fatigue. Edward JACKSON of Catham, foolishly persisted in leaving the wreck in one of her boats, and very soon went down. His body was found and awaits the coroner's inquest. The captain, W. ROBERTSON, states that they were knocking about the channel for the last week, and that being short of provisions he endeavoured to reach Dublin, but was unable to do so from the violent state of the weather and the heavy sea which was running. Mistaking this place for Howth he endeavoured to reach it, but the heavy sea along the coast soon drove them aground. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Barret and those who accompanied him, for their courage in venturing out in such a heavy surf, and for the successful way in which they rescued the men from their perilous position.

Second Offence - 1s. 0d. Third Offence - 2s. 0d. (By Order), EDWARD SMITH, Clerk Cavan, 8th November, 1852. Abstract, 9th Geo. IV. Chap. 82, Sec 59.

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, November 11, 1852 THE SIX-MILE BRIDGE TRAGEDY. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD, &c., on the part of the relatives of the people who had been shot at Sixmile Bridge, applied that the Crown Solicitor be directed to furnish Mr. Wm. Henry McGRATH, Solicitor, for his (the learned counsel's) clients, with two copies of the depositions taken at the investigation, to enable him to instruct counsel to show cause against the conditional order obtained in this court on the 2nd instant, for quashing the depositions; and that the time for showing case against said order be extended to such a period as the court should direct, or for such other order as the court may think fit. The learned counsel stated that, immediately on being served with the conditional order, Mr. M'GRATH had served notice on the relatives, who authorized him to act on their behalf; but, as the parties belonged to an humble class of life, they would be unable to pay the expenses of taking out copies of the depositions, which ran to a thousand sheets, and the cost of ! a single copy of which would be about £33. From the affidavit of Mr. M'Grath, it appeared that two applications had been made to Sir M. Barrington, the Crown Solicitior, to furnish copies. But no answer to that application had been received. A copy being indispensably necessary for his (the learned counsel's) clients, the present motion was unavoidable. If they were furnished with even a single copy they would be ready to show cause on Monday. The Lord Chief Justice - Perhaps there would be no objection to Sir Mathew Barrington furnishing a copy. The Solicitor-General said he was not disposed to put Mr. Fitzgerald's clients to any unnecessary expense, and that he would furnish them with one copy. Mr. Fitzgerald, Q.C. - Then we will meet you on Monday morning. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. At the recent term examinations in Trinity College, Dublin, Mr. John KENNEDY, who was last year elected a Queen's Scholar on the foundation of the Royal School, Cavan, obtained a prize in classics on very distinguished answering. Mr. Kennedy's success is the more creditable as, till very recently, his attention had been principally devoted to science. Mr. Kennedy was also recommended for honours in science and at the catechetical examinations. There are five Queen's Scholarships of £25 each, tenable for five years, attached to the above school.

ANGLO CELT -- August 25, 1853 - part two of two ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Champagne seemed to be the favourite beverage of all ages and sexes, and the corks popped out accordingly with a very cheerful sound. Four our own part, if our opinion in drinkables of this nature be held to be worth anything, we would advise -- if the weather be very warm and the thirst very great -- a tumbler or two of sparkling Saint Peray - bien moussence(?) -- it cools the tongue and palate a merveille. The rain kept the party within doors, and prevented the departure of the young couples until the day was far advanced ; however all things much come to an end ; the carriages were again put in requisition, and after many parting benedictions had been bestowed, and numerous promises to write often had been exchanged, the happy couples took their departure. A dense shower of slippers fell upon them as they proceeded down the avenue. The gallant Captain and his lady drove to Kilnehard Castle on the banks of Lough Sheelan ; and Mrs. and Mrs. Henry Milner, we love to iterate the name, to Ashfield Lodge. The rain, which threatened during the day, cleared away towards evening, and left the blue sky in undisturbed possession of the chaste moon ; and if our young couples were minded to to(sic) follow the example of Lorenzo and Jessica they had as pretty an opportunity of "out-nighting: one another as heart could wish. We were very near forgetting to say a word of the bridal presents. We will sum up in a few words. In number, elegance of design, and costliness, they are richly deserving a place at the Great Exhibition. This was the pleasantest party we met for a length of time. A reverend connoiseur in beauty, declared in our hearing that he never in the course of his life saw so pretty a group of girls as the brides and brides'-maids -- "those northern lights" as the Earl of Erne so happily termed them. We entirely agree with them ; yet we will not yield our judgements in "the waving line of beauty" to any one -- peer, or gowns-man -- married or single. What we maintain is this ; they -- that is, all the ladies present -- were beautiful, but there was one amongst the bridesmaids of surpassing loveliness -- one child just brightening into noisy, careless, joyous, girlhood -- a playful thing that tripped with fairy lightness through the throng, unconscious that she was the lode-star that attracted every eye -- the theme of admiration on every tongue. Ah ! it requires no ghost to tell us that "you little western flower" will soon, very soon, give some one the heart-ache. There are Cupi! ds nestling in her sunny hair -- there are Cupids nestling in her sunny eyes -- there's witchery in the pouting of her lip -- there's withchery in that saucy toss of her head. Start not -- wife of my soul at this avowal ! -- there's a charm about thee that bucklers my heart against the dangerous artillery of "sunny hair and sunny eyes, and pouting lips." Ph, yes ! that blissful, cheerful face of thine avec son petite nez retrousse" is dearer to me than all the lovely flowers that bloom beyond the Shannon. Were it not for thee -- there is no concealing the fact -- my truant heart would now be in a position to adopt the language of Scotia's sweetest bard, and sigh "I gaed a waefu' gate, yestreen A gate, I fear, I'll dearly rue ; I gat my death frae twa sweet een; Twa lovely een o' bonnie blue ; Twas not her hair, so sunny, bright ; Her lips like roses wat wi' dew -- Her heaving bosom, lily white ; It was her een sae bonnie blue !" There was one little incident that happened at dinner which should not be altogether passed over in silence. This dinner at 8 o'clock, P.M., must not be confounded with the dejeuner of the morning. It was a separate affair altogether, and perfect in its way. The Archdeacon was so pressing that we could not say him "Nay." He had some dear, select friends remaining with him, he said, and would be happy to introduce us. Covers were laid for twenty-three -- the grand jury number -- and we did ample justice to the good things provided for us. The cloth being removed we turned our attention to the wine and the ladies, and truly we had a happy time of it. "The Derby," and "fly fishing" and the "shooting season" became subjects of conversation in their turn. We have not much taste for these amusements, and therefore paid little attention to them, but contented ourselves in running over, in our own mind, the comparative merits of Claret, Burgundy, and Whiskey punch, as an aft! er dinner drunk. We were roused from our reverie by a tall gentleman in black who called upon us to "fill a bumper," as he was about to propose a toast. This appearing to be personal, we roused ourselves, expecting the announcement would be followed by "The Press," and having replenished our glass, set ourselves upon our centre to return thanks for the honour which was about to be done to us, in coupling our name with the toast, and the flattering manner in which it had been received. All being ready the toast was given -- "Here's a health to our absent friends." We now found we had caused a lesion of circulation in the fluids ; for a fleet of decanters lay quietly at anchor under our starboard bow ; we looked apologetically at our worthy host ; it was evident that we occupied no part of his thoughts ; the sentiment had "touched the chord upon which all his sorrows hung;" his heart was with his friends, his Emily and his Charolette(sic), absent for the first time, and pe! rhaps for ever, from his sheltering roof ; he coughed twice -- it was an unsuccessful effort to conceal his emotion ; and we saw the big tears course one another down his manly cheek. The ladies now rose and as there was no chance of getting anything hot at the Glebe, we took occasion to leave the dining-room with them ; but instead of following to the drawing-room, we took our hat from the gentleman that stood in the hall, and with school-boy step we hastened down to the snow-white cottage with its pretty garden, of the liberal, kindhearted Catholic curate of the parish -- our ancient, worthy ally, Father Tom Brady. It was evident he expected a visit from us. He knew we had spent the day in the neighbourhood, and had invited some choice spirits to meet us. On our entrance we were greeted with nine times nine, and "one cheer more,: and the cheerful kettle sang out that 'her steam was up." What happened between that time and day-light night next morning (transcriber's no! te: this phrase is exactly as printed in the newspaper) may probaly furnish an article on some future occasion. And now, reader, let no idle curiosity prompt thee to enquire too nicely into the circumstances of our being a partaker of the festivities of Carravahan Glebe ; 'tis a mystery you never can solve, and the secret lies between ourselves and the Chamberlain. Lord St. Germans knows the value of a good reporter on occasions like the present, and he is not such a churl as to grudge us one day and night of jollification out of six months retirement from the busy world. ----------------------------------------------------------- CAVAN GAS-LIGHT COMPANY. The first annual meeting of this company having been called on Monday, the 15th inst. (as directed by the decree of settlement), which being the fair day of this town the meeting adjourned to Saturday, the 20th inst., on which day, amongst the shareholders present, we observed -- Patrick Fay, Wm. Moore, Wm. Thompson, James Parker, Wm. Hague, Robert Erskine, Wm. Johnston, James Kelly, Edward Kennedy, Esqrs., and the Rev. Wm. Prior Moore. On the motion of Mr. Wm. Moore, seconded by Mr. Wm. Hague, the Rev. Wm. Prior Moore was called to the chair. The secretary (Mr. Edward Smith) having submitted an abstract of the accounts and the company's affairs generally from its formation to the 4th of May, 1853, which having been read and explained by Captain Erskine (Chairman of the Directors), the shareholders present appeared to be highly pleased at the state of the company's affairs and the judicious manner in which they have been conducted. The subject of increasing the Capital Stock of the Company 500£. in shares of 5£., each having been agreed to at an extraordinary meeting of the shareholders convened for that purpose, on the 21st October, 1852, the Secretary informed the meeting that such resolution should be sanctioned by the present meeting, when Wm. Thompson, Esq., proposed, James Parker, seconded -- "that such resolution be confirmed carried: Sixty-five shares out of the so increased capital stock of 100 were instantly bought up, and the Secretary was directed to offer the remaining 35 to the shareholders by circular previous to their being advertised for sale. Robert Erskine, Wm. Hague, and Edward Kennedy, Esqrs., being the three first directors on the list, went out of office this day, and were upon the motion of Wm. Johnston, Esq., seconded by Wm. Moore, Esq., re-elected. Wm. Anderson, and Wm. Thompson, Esqrs., Managers of the Provincial and Ulster Banks, were re-elected auditors for the ensuing year. Mr. Kennedy moved, and Mr. Johnston seconded -- that Rev. Wm. Prior Moore, do leave the chair, and that James Parker, Edw., be called thereto. A vote of thanks was unanimously adopted to the former chairman for his dignified conduct in the chair. The Rev. Wm. P. Moore, proposed, and Wm. Johnston, Esq.., seconded -- that a vote of thanks be passed to the Directors for the zeal, energy, and untiring application with which they have conducted the company's affairs. Carried unanimously. Mr. E. Kennedy, on behalf of his brother Directors and himself, returned thanks, and in doing so, said that the prosperity of the Company's affairs in a great measure was due to their excellent chairman (Captain Erskine), who not only in this respect, but on all occasions, where the interests pf Cavan are concerned, shewed himself willing and ready to come forward ; and that had we but a few more of such gentlemen residing amongst us Cavan would be as prosperous and rising a town as any in Ireland. As it was, he was happy to say it was improving and would, he hoped, continue to do so. The meeting proceeded to inspect the works, with the neat appearance and regularity of which they seemed well pleased, and shortly afterward adjourned to Saturday, the 27th inst. for the purpose of receiving the auditors' report. ---------------------- LOUGH DERG YACHT CLUB REGATTA. On Monday, August 15, 1853, with a clear sky and fresh breeze, the fleet of yachts from Lough Derg and Lough Ree got under weigh for Killaloe, where they arrived in time for the splendid repast at the Royal Hotel, at which place the members of the L.D.Y.C. entertained their friends and the members of the Lough Ree Club in a most hospitable manner. At the dinner the usual toasts were drunk, not forgetting three hearty cheers for the British squadron, com (transcriber's note: it ends here) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

August 16, at the parish Church of Drung, by the Rev. Lord John de la Poer Beresford, assisted by the Rev. Guy L'Estrange, Captain Thomas Heywood, of the 16th Lancers, only son of Thomas Heywood, Esq., of Hopend, Herefordshire, to Mary Emily, youngest daughter of the Venerable M. G. Beresford, Archdeacon of Ardagh, and immediately afterwards, at the same place, by the Rev. Lord John de la Poer Beresford, assisted by the Rev. Guy L'Estrange, Henry B. W. Milner, Esq., son of Sir Wm. Mordaunt Sturt(sic) Milner, Bart., of Nunappleton, Yorkshire, to Charlotte Henrietta, eldest daughter of the Venerable M. G. Beresford, Archdeacon of Ardagh. A numerous party of friends and relations attended the ceremony, and afterwards partook of the hospitalities of Archdeacon and Mrs. Beresford. The world is indebted to an immortal Irishman for the history of the gigantic solemnities that took place in ancient days at the castle of O'Rourke, Prince of Breffney. On the witty Dean of Saint Patrick's devolved the labour of love of chronicling the events of that memorable day, when O'Rourke spread the banquet, and "smoked the calumet" -- the "Pipe of peace," with his neighbouring chieftains. From the mellifluous pen of Swift flowed out those wondrous, heart-stirring strains which narrate the commotion produced by this gathering to the festive-board of Breffney -- and to him be the praise that "O'Rourke's noble feast shall ne'er be forgot By those who were there or by those who were not." It has fallen to our lot, another "Son of the Sod," to hand down to posterity an account of an event which took place in our own immediate neighbourhood on the 16th instant -- an event that will long be had in remembrance by the actors in the scene, "old men and maidens, young men and children." The occasion of this assemblage of the gentry of Cavan and the adjoining counties was the celebration of the marriages of the two lovely daughters of Archdeacon Beresford, with two handsome and wealthy Englishmen -- and we feel bound to say that the hospitalities of Corravahan Glebe fell no whit behind the feast of the great O'Rourke. There has been no small stir amongst us since these marriages have been arranged ; and preparations for the weddings have furnished abundant occupation to every class amongst us. From the snowy surplice and golden-clasped book of the priest, down to the amphibious, half wooden, half leathern, instrument, mis-named a boot, that adorns the dexter leg of the postillion, all have been polished up to take a part in these solemnities. There is a growing taste of late amongst young ladies of the higher classes to have a great number of beautiful girls, their relatives and friends, to attend upon them as bridesmaids at the altar ; twenty-four were invited to grace the nuptials of the Misses Beresford. It requires no small amount of good taste, of time, and of trouble, to invent and provide, and fit a becoming uniform upon some twenty or four-and-twenty bridesmaids. Let us take one, as Sterne took his captive from amongst the millions that surrounded him, and which did but disturb his view ; let us isolate her, and contemplate her requirements. Look at her tiny foot glistening in white satin ; smooth as an onion boiled in butter ; look at the wreath of blush roses, forming two-thirds of a circle, that bounds that loveable little face "brightening all over" at the role it is about to act ; then the gown, so deeply plicate at hip and waist ; expanding as it descends in an ample rotundity, and bespeaking an ! enormous profusion of nether involucra. The bonnet, that pet of a bonnet, artfully constructed to conceal the cervical vertebrae and large portion of the occipital bone ; and the veil, and the gloves, and the sash, brought into a neat point at the anterior termination of the corset from whence two "streamers float upon the breeze." We say nothing here of the jewellry, nor of the showers of pins that are scattered from the trembling hand of the eloquent ladies maid ; and which, subsequently, become the undisputed property of the housemaid, through whom they are destined to flow down to, and irrigate, if we may use the term, the entire household ; nor of the bouquet of flowers ; nor of the pocket handkerchief ; that acre of lace surrounding a palms breadth of cambric. No ! the millinery arts have triumphed ; and we are lost in the wondrous perfection they have achieved. To come at any approximation to an estimate of the number of shoemakers, staymakers, weavers, bonnet-makers, milliners, "et hoc cenus omne" that found occupation for the last two months in fashioning the bridesmaids for this occasion, you must multiply this young fair one we have decked out by twenty-four, and, if you work out the problem correctly, the quotient will give you the exact amount ; but this does not take into account the trousseaux of the brides, neither the smart dresses of the ladies maids. But the brides are dressed, and the bridesmaids are dressed, and the bridegrooms stand on the tip-toe of expectation ; and now comes the moment of triumph and vain glory to the postillions. It could be no wedding without their assistance, and accordingly up they come spurring and cantering in goodly array, each displaying what Dickens terms "a most successful eruption of white buttons." The procession is forming, and we must proceed to the church. On arriving at the church the Archdeacon took his daughters from their carriage, gave each of them an arm, and walked forward to the communion table where he was to give them away. Give them away ! Strange, and passing strange it has ever appeared to us this every-day fact of giving a daughter away. A father takes that creature over whose welfare he has watched with incessant care form the moment she first breathed ; from the moment her first faint cry caught his ear and told him that he was a father ; from the moment his entire heart went out to her -- day and night ; through sickness and sorrow -- kissing away her tears ; sharing in her joys ; not "permitting the winds of Heaven to visit her face too roughly ; nurturing her up to blooming womanhood, and then -- "giving her away." A man comes to the damsel ; a strange man mayhap, and he asks the damsel to go with him ; and the damsel answers him, as damsels have answered since the days of Rebecca, "I will go with the man! ;" and the man tells the father of the damsel, and the father adorns his daughter in her bridal jewels ; and he takes her trembling hand into his ; looks into her eyes, her tearful eyes ; those eyes so like her mother's eyes, "When he looked on her, blooming, young and fair As she was on her wedding day." And he prints a burning kiss upon her marble forehead ; with faltering tongue he bids "God bless her," and he givers her to the man for ever : And we echo back "God bless you, ye beauteous children ; May heaven's choicest blessings light upon your young hears, and guide you in the ways of peace and happiness." We breathe this prayer upon you for your sainted mother's sake. The bridegrooms, as handsome a pair of English gentlemen as heart could desire ; followed next. Captain Heywood and Miss Emily Beresford, stood forward for the Priest's first benediction ; the gallant Captain said it was his right, as he and his fair partner "were the first on parade." Now if there is anything at all wrong about the Captain it lies in his being too handsome ; but this is a small fault in a good boy, and one for which he will readily be pardoned by the ladies ; yet he is a soldierly looking fellow, notwithstanding ; "bearded like "Pard," with a good Williamite nose -- a "back for a knapsack, and a leg for spatterdash." The Captain and his lively wife having been "done for," Mr. Henry Milner and his beautiful bride presented themselves. Mrs. Henry Milner ! What a pretty name ! Mrs. Henry Milner ; don't you admire it, girls? We only say that if you saw Mr. Henry Milner you would admire him still more. He was the "admired of all admirers;" and you would ! pardon any girl for falling love with him ; and possibly you would wish that he had fallen in love with yourself. The church service having ended -- signing the books and all -- we proceeded to the refectory. Truly 'twas a goodly sight. What sirloins of beef ; what saddles of mutton ; and the haunch of venison, the growth of a seven years' buck ; "That haunch was a picture for painters to study, The fat was so white, and the lean was so ruddy." Limerick, Wicklow, Belfast, and Westphalia, contended for the prize in hams ; Norfolk supplied the Turkey pouts ; Ballyshannon the salmon. There were fowls of every wing and feather ; fruits of every clime, wines of every vintage, and then the brides caked -- shade of Verey hide your diminished head -- then the brides cakes ; in shape and magnitude they resemble the upper and the nether millstones. The tables, made specially to support this burthen of good cheer, absolutely groaned beneath the task imposed upon them. Eighty six guests sat down to this sumptuous dejeuner. Among those present were -- The Earl and Countess of Erne, and Lady John Crichton, Lord and Lady John Beresford, Lady Farnham and Miss Stapleton, the two Misses Stevenson, Mrs. and Mrs. Burrowes of Stradone and Miss Burrowes, Mr. James Burrowes of Lisnamandra, Mrs. Humphreys, the two Misses, Mr. Hugh Humphreys of Ballyhaise House, and Miss Garrett, Mrs. Thos. Perceval Heywood or(sic - should probably be of) Dovely, Derbyshire, eldest son of Sir Benjamin Heywood, Bart., Francis Fuljambe, Esq., of Osberton Notts, Capt. Dixon, 16th Lancers, the Hon.

Guy L'Estrange, Rev. Henry Stepney, Rev. Charles! Leslie and Mrs. Leslie, Kilmore Palace, Colonel and Mrs. Hill, Colgrave Place, Notts, Mrs. O'Hara, Mrs. Architage (Arthitage?)
