ANGLO-CELT AUGUST 18, 1848 COUNTY OF DONEGAL--AMERICAN SYMPATHIES--There cannot be a doubt that many restless spirits, anxious to take a part in the projected outbreak, have lately arrived in this peaceable county from American; they are, however, known, and every movement on their part watched by a vigilant magistracy. Two of the number, Andrew M'DAID and Hugh M'MENAMIN, were arrested a few days since, and committed to the gaol. _____________________________________________________________ The wretched culprit, Phillip FITZPATRICK, sentenced to death at the late Armagh Assizes, for the murder of John and William HENDERSON, at Lurgan, on the 20th of May last, was executed on Satruday, at noon, in front of the jail at Armagh. _____________________________________________________________ DEATHS At Arva, on the 12th instant, after a protracted illness, Anne, wife of J. B. GRAVES, Esq., Resident Magistrate for this County, and only daughter of the late James HOWLIN, Esq., of Ballycronigan, co. Wexford. At her residence, Northgate-street House, Chester, Anne, relict of the late John CHAMBERLAINE, Esq., and mother of Mrs. O'REILLY, of Annagh, of this county. (Mr. CHAMBERLAINE was a man of the most exalted views; he was honored by a public procession into the city of Chester; and it was he who suggested to Selford that Liverpool was built on the wrong side of the Mersey.) August 14, at Ballyconnell, Master Joseph COCHRANE. This excellent, amiable, and lamented young man, who has at an early age of 16 years, fallen a victim to the prevailing epidemic, was youngest son of Thomas COCHRANE, Esq. His afficted friends have indeed the soothing con- solation of a general participation in their sorrow, as we have seldom heard of so deep an impression of sympathy attending the loss of individual worth. At the Glebe House of Aghera, Co. Meath, the Rev. John KELLETT, for many years the esteemed rector of that parish. On the 12th inst., at Broomfield, Ballyhaise, the residence of her son, Rev. Arthur MONYPENY, in the 88th year of her age, Letitia, relict of the late Arthur MONYPENY, Esq., of Killeshandra. ===================================================== SUDDEN DEATH--A man named James GILLASPIE, was killed on last Saturday, on the lands of Peru, near Moynalty, by the kick of a horse, while adjusting some tackle on him, while ploughing for his master, Pat BRIEN. He has left a wife and two children. His death was instantaneous. ____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO CELT - December 20, 1855 SUDDEN DEATHS. -- Two deaths took place most suddenly in this county within the week. The Rev. Henry Monek (Menek?) Winder, the pious and estimable Vicar of Killinkara, died of disease of the heart on Friday last after a few hours suffering, and at eight o'clock this morning Dr. COYNE of this town fell a victim to an appopletic(sic) attack. He was complaining for some days of a rheumatic affection in the head, but no one thought, as he was walking in the streets on yesterday, that his (........) was so nearly run. A better citizen or a more respected man than Dr. COYNE had not existence, and a feeling of sorrow for his death is universal and intense here. COLONIAL MISSION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. -- We understand that the Rev. Robert JAMIESON of Belturbet has been appointed a Missionary to British North America by the Missionary Directors of the General Assembly at their late meeting in Belfast. MONAGHAN MILITIA. -- The head quarters of this force which were here from the time the regiment came into the county, were removed to Belturbet Monday last. INCUMBERED ESTATES COURT. -- A portion of the Lands of Gercraff (Gorcraff? Geroraff?) and Bog of Drumoarn, which were vested in the assignee of Thomas ARGUE were sold the other day, in Henrietta-street, and purchased by Mr. J. GILLESPIE for £27 13s. 4 1/2 d. THE MEATH ELECTION. -- Mr. M'EVOY has been returned as member for Meath by a majority of two talons(talens?), the numbers that voted for him being about 1,600, while Mr. MEREDYTH had about 800 votes recorded for him. ________________________________________ County Cavan Newspapers Transcription Project

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, November 20, 1856 THE CONSTABULARY. - Head-Constable, Mr. John STEWART, is about to retire, after upwards of twenty-five years' service, the last five of which he has been stationed at Baillieborough, in this county. He leaves that town deeply regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance; to the highest moral character and gentlemanly bearing to all, he united the most untiring zeal in the faithful discharge of his official duties - thus securing the respect and esteem of all capable of appreciating real merit. He retires on a handsome pension. DEATH OF THE REV. JAMES BRADY, P.P. - It is with sorrow we announce the death of the Rev. James BRADY, for many years P.P. of Denn, in this county, and previously C.C. in this town. The health of the rev. gentleman had been failing for a long time, and he went to Dublin some months ago, and stopped at the hotel of Mr. FEGAN, in High-street, until Monday last, when he died. On Tuesday an inquest was held on the body, at the special instance of Mr. Fegan, and after the examination of several witnesses and a post mortem examination, the jury bought in a verdict that the deceased died, as the Dr. expressed it, from rupture of the aorta and consequent effusion of blood into the pericardium. COURSING APPOINTMENT. - The Westmeath hounds meet in November. Tuesday, 18th, at Crooked Wood Friday, 21st, Middleton Park, Tuesday, 25th, at Killynon Gate, Friday, 28th, at Newcastle; always at eleven o'clock. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. - We regret having to state that an accident occurred on Saturday evening last, on the Cavan Branch of the Midland Great Western Railway, which terminated in the death of a man. It appears that, as the six o'clock. p.m., up train from Cavan was leaving the station at Float Road, and had got on some forty perches from it, four men were walking on the line, and along the rails upon which the carriages were proceeding, there being but one set laid down. Three of them left, when they heard the noise; but one, whether overcome by terror, or being under the influence of whiskey, was not so fortunate. He was knocked down, and the wheels passed over his legs at the knees, and over one of his arms, at the wrist; and he expired after a few convulsive breathings. No blame attaches to the engine-driver; the train was not going at even ordinary speed, being only at so short a distance from the station. An inquest was held on the remains on Monday, and s! uch a verdict, as the facts would suggest, returned.

DEATH FROM EXTRACTION OF A TOOTH. - We are sorry that we have to record the death of Mr. John EGAN, Farnham Road, near this town, which took place yesterday evening. It appears that the deceased, who was a clerk in the office of Mr. BRUSH, agent to Lord Farnham, and was respected by all who knew him for his mild and unintermeddling disposition, got a tooth extracted some time ago, from which an abscess of the jaw resulted, ending in his death, nothwithstanding that all, which medical aid could do, was made available for him. CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. - On Tuesday evening about 180 of the children of the Sunday and day schools, at Killeshandra, were invited to the Rectory House, where a room was nicely fitted up with a beautiful tree, glaring with oranges, and various decorations; the presents - in the form of books, toys, and clothing - suitable to the childrens (sic) requirements, were previously arranged with the names on each, and then distributed by the Archdeacon and family. The children all seemed highly delighted with the kindness and attention paid them. COOTEHILL COMMMISONERS. - It is our pleasing duty to state, that the election of Town Commissioners for the Town of Cootehill, has been settled; and with regard to the nine gentlemen chosen by the rate-payers, we may say that, so far as they are concerned, they will do their duty faithfully. Nothing else might have been expected, owing to the address of the excellent and venerable Chairman, Mr. M'INTOSH; and also from the efficient manner in which Mr. MORGAN, the clerk did his duty.

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, November 27, 1856 BIRTH. On the 21st inst., in Bridge Street, Cavan, the wife of Mr. Charles MAGUIRE, senior, of a son. DEATHS. On Tuesday, the 25th instant, in Cavan, in the 66th year of her age, Dorothy, relict of the late Mr. Patrick GALLAGHER, of this town, and mother of the late worthy P.P. of Killesher, in the diocese of Kilmore. Mrs. Gallagher's life was marked by its practical exhibition of many virtues, pre-eminent above all of which was her wonderful charity to the poor, who always found in her a ready and increasing benefactress. Of a truth, all to whom simplicity of manners, unostentatious piety, benevolence of heart, and entire uprightness of life would commend themselves, admired her when living, and mourn her loss now that she is no more. On same day, at Cavan, James, only surviving son of Mr. James SMITH, Inn-keeper. November 21, at Upper Pembroke Street, aged 85 years, Mrs. WHITTELL, sister of the late James SANDERSON, Esq., of Clover Hill, in this county. At Bracklow, in this county, Hugh, fifth son of the late Captain Mark KERR, of the Royal Longford Militia.

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, November 13, 1856 PRESENTATION. On Saturday last a deputation, consisting of Captains ROBINSON and EDWARDS, JAMES KERR, and PATK. DUFF, Esqrs., all of the late Cavan Militia, waited on Mr. PATRICK CAFFREY, of this town and presented him with a Silver Teapot, of massive materials, richly chased, and the design all together reflecting great credit on Mr. WEST of College Green, Dublin, in whose premises it was conceived and executed. The teapot has engraved upon I the following inscription - "Presented by Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of BECTIVE, and the Officers of the 101st or Cavan Regiment of Militia, to MR. PATRICK CAFFREY, in grateful rememberance (sic) of his disinterested assistance during the embodiment of the regiment in 1855 and 1856." The gift surely exhibited on the part of the donors that they were possessed with feelings of gratitude; for the period when Mr. CAFFREY's assistance to them could be effective, has passed away, and there is, therefore, nothing the recollection of the past, for! which to do him honour. The practical recognition of services, previously rendered, and the continuance of which is neither called for nor possible, is gratitude indeed: and they, who evince it, by the very fact entitle themselves to be looked on as men, inspired with one of the noblest feelings which dignify our nature. Hence it is that all the praise, which can be bestowed upon them for their truly magnificent present and the still more generous feelings which inspired it, is nothing more than what is due to them: but we must add that it comes most worthily from them that they have paid such a tribute to Mr. CAFFREY's deservings. Everyone of us is aware of the exertions of that gentleman in the matter of the embodiment and sustaining of the Cavan Militia; from first to last, he was identified with the corps in heart and soul, as his acts abundantly testified. He interested himself in their origin, in the fullness of their strength; and , when they were being disbanded! , as is known, the conception, the providing, and the success of the most respectable banquet, at which they were entertained, were almost entirely, owing to him. "Disinterested," indeed, was his assistance; he had nothing to gain by the Cavan Militia, nothing in wealth, nothing in honour, for he was already rich in the approbation of all, without exception, to whom he was known. A true cosmopolitan in kindness Mr. CAFFREY has always proved himself; from the highest to the lowest in the county with whom his business or the promptings of his heart brought him in connection, he mixed himself up with the concerns of them all, participating, as if he were a real sharer in it, in the gladness, which he was a great means of bringing about, and assuaging, as far he could, the sorrows which he could not entirely dispel. If all, who have had experience of Mr. CAFFREY's undeviating rectitude and kindness, were to pay him, in word or act, a tribute of it, there is hardly an individu! al in the county, from whom he could not produce a testimonial. In full sincerity we wish Mr. CAFFREY to be the recipient of many such marks of esteem as that of Saturday last, and that he may live long and happily to enjoy them all. SUICIDE BY DROWNING. - An inquest was held this day by William POLLOCK, Esq., and an intelligent jury, on view of the body of Eliza HALL, whose death resulted in the following circumstances: - It appears that deceased who was aged 45 or thereabouts, and was from Fivemiletown, in the County Fermanagh, had been residing some time with her brother-in-law, Mr. Charles KENNY, of Tullylough, beside this town. Latterly she was under the care of Dr. ROE, for a disease of the liver, but, during the past month, she refused to take the medicine prescribed for her, and seemed very depressed. On Tuesday last, about 12 o'clock, she went out, as if to walk in the fields, having first asked her sister if her boots would keep out the damp. She had been out for some hours, when the sister, becoming uneasy, went to look for her; one of the servant-men was then sent out to look for her, and he discovered her lying on her face in a boghole at the foot of the hill, in three feet of water! , and quite dead. Her boots, shawl and bonnet were got lying on the bank. The jury, after hearing the evidence brought in their verdict - "Drowned herself, while labouring under a fit of temporary in sanity." HIGH SHERIFFS FOR 1857. - Theophilus CLEMENTS, of Rakenny, James Arthur DEASE, of Turbotstown, and David FIELDING JONES, of Hallows, Esqrs., are returned by the judges to the Lord Lieutenant, as the persons, from whom to select one, to serve as High Sheriff in the coming year. Amongst others we see that Edward MAGUIRE, Esq, of Gortoral House, Swanlinbar, is returned for Leitrim; and Matthew O'REILLY DEASE, Esq., for Lough. MASTERS AND SERVANTS. - This day was hiring day for the winter and spring half-year, in Cavan, and the streets were crowded with employers and persons seeking to be employed. Servants are asking and getting fully double as much wages as they could obtain two years ago. BIRTHS. On the 9th inst., at 46, Upper Dominick-street, Dublin, the wife of Michael PLUNKETT, Esq., of a son. November 7, the wife of Francis M'CABE, Esq., of this town, of a son. MARRIED. In Maynooth, Thomas CARR, Esq., late of Maynooth College to Catherine, relict of Thomas MAGEE, Esq., Leinster Arms Hotel, Maynooth. DEATHS. On the 3rd instant, at Paris, Elizabeth, second daugaher of the Right Hon. and Very Rev. Lord Fitzgerald and Vesey, Dean of Kilmore. November 3, at the residence of his father, in Swanlinbar, Mr. George WILLIS, 36, Bride Street, in the city of Dublin. On the 10th inst., at Swellan, in the 23rd year of her age, Eliza, second daughter of Robert FEGAN, Esq. The universal closing of windows through Cavan in the Interval between Miss Fegan's decease and interment -a fact not common where the deceased was resident outside the town - gives proof abundant of the esteem in which she was held.

ANGLO-CELT AUGUST 11, 1848 THE GRIPPER GRIPPED--A few days ago, a bailiff who rejoices in the euphonious cognomen of Munyer SMITH arrested a man of the name of Hugh M'MAHON, a carpenter of the employment of Mr. Richard COOTE, of Bellamont Forest, under a civil bill decree at the suit of a man named Stephen RONALDSON, for the sum of £2 17 s. 6d. Mr. COOTE having been apprized of the capture of his workman, at which he felt annoyed, and having a civil bill decree himself for a larger sum against said Munyer SMITH, gave instructions to Alexander TURNER, another bailiff, to execute same upon him, and procure the discharge of M'MAHON by the payment of RONALDSON's decree. Accordingly TURNER proceeded to manage the affair, which he did so adroitly, that he procured a seat on the same car with Munyer and his prisoner, and proceeded with them from Cootehill to Cavan. As soon as Munyer handed M'MAHON into the custody of the officer of the gaol of Cavan, TURNER also handed him the decree against Munyer at the suit of Mr. COOTE; he then paid the amount of the decree against M'MAHON, who returned with him on the same car to Cootehill, leaving poor Munyer in the gaol, where he still remains in durance vile--a fate to which he himself consigned many a luckless wight. _____________________________________________________________ BIRTHS August 4, at Killucan, the lady of the late Rev. Henry FERRIS, of a daughter. August 7, at the Dowager Lady ARUNDELL's, Dover-street, London, the Hon. Lady NEAVE, of a son.

ANGLO-CELT AUGUST 4, 1848 THE IRISH HARP--This instrument so indissolubly wedded with our ancient legends would have been forgotten long ago but for the men of Ulster. Strange to say, the Presbyterians of the North, who had no direct claim upon the olden harp, were the men who fostered and preserved it. We now have very few harpers, and of these Mr. BYRNE now appears the most successful; wherever he goes through Ireland, England, Scotland, he is received with a "cead mille failthe". But while awarding the laurel to Mr. BYRNE, we must not foget the unfortunate. There resides in this county, not far from Virginia, an old woman upwards of seventy years of age, who in her early days played upon this instrument, to the delight of thousands, and who has hereditary claims upon us beside; she is now in a destitute state, but with the pride of her race has hitherto refused to solicit elymosnyary aid. We are not at liberty to mention her name, as we have not got authority to that effect, but if any kind individuals think well of assisting this relic of better times the publisher of the ANGLO-CELT will receive their contributions and transmit them to her for whom they are intended. ===================================================== ELECTION OF A PHYSICIAN TO THE COUNTY CAVAN FEVER HOSPTIAL On Tuesday last, the 1st instant, one of the largest meetings ever held in Cavan of the magistrates of the county, and the governors and sub- scribers to the County of Cavan Fever Hospital, took place in the Grand Jury room of the Courthouse, pursuant to notice for the purpose of electing a Physician to the above-named institution, in the room of the late Dr. M'DONALD. Richard FOX, Esq., High Sheriff, presided. On taking the chair, he announced that the candidates for the vacant office were Dr. HALPIN and Dr. MEASE. He did not think it requiste to read the diplomas and testimonials which each of these two medical gentlemen had sent in, as he was sure that all the individuals present were perfectly aware that both candidates were fully qualified to undertake and discharge the duties of the situation for which they were contending. The Rev. Mr. WILKINS observed that several gentlemen came there that day who kept themselves entirely disengaged from any promise to either candidate, and who were to be guided solely by the relative qualifications and testimonials; he considered it necessary, therefore, that the document should be read to the meeting. (Discussion followed) The following was declared the final state of the poll: FOR DR. HALPIN: Hon. Somerset MAXWELL; Hon. H.C. BUTLER; Right Rev. Dr. BROWNE; Rev. Andrew M'CREIGHT; Rev. H. COTTINGHAM; Captain MOORE; Pierce MORTON; Robert BURROWES; Robert ERSKINE; Wm. BURROWES; Anthony O'REILLY; Joseph STORY; Francis ADAMS; John LOVE; James H. STORY; Wm. HUMPHREYS; Charles J. ADAMS; T. L. CLEMENTS; John FLEMING; Andrew W. BELL; Richard SCOTT; John FINLAY; Michael PHILLIPS; Colonel CLEMENTS; Eyre COOTE; Wm. H. ENERY; Richard NUGENT; George FINLAY; Thomas COOTE; Joseph LYNCH; Wm. THOMPSON. FOR DR. MEASE: Richard FOX, High Sheriff; Henry T. KILBEE; George M. KNIPE; Henry SARGENT; Rev. Frederick FITZPATRICK; Rev. Charles LESLIE; Rev. W. WILKINS; John GODLEY; Miss SAUNDERSON; John E. VERNON; Robert FITZGERALD; Ferrott THORNTON; Joseph BENNISON; Major BAILLIE; Alexander MAGUIRE; Charles MORTIMER; Samuel SMITH; John THOMPSON; Captain JOHNSTON; Theo. THOMPSON; James BENNISON; Terrence JOHNSTON. The following proxies were then tendered and received for the present, as suggested, by the Hon. Mr. MAXWELL: FOR DR. HALPIN: Marquis of Headford; Hon. Richard MAXWELL; Sir Thomas FINLAY; Joseph PRATT; Very Rev. Samuel ADAMS; Maxwell BOYLE; Gerald DEASE; John GUMLEY; Francis HASSARD; John R. PEYTON. FOR DR. MEASE: Earl BECTIVE; Earl of Enniskillen; Lord Primate; Lord Bishop of Kilmor; Colonel SAUNDERSON; John A. KNIPE; Joseph DICKSON; John BAKER; Francis N. CULLEN; George W. VESEY; Rev. Dr. CARSON; Mrs. DELAP; Richard ELLIS. The High Sheriff having declared Dr. HALPIN duly elected, the business of the election terminated, and those who were most interested in it left the room, including all, we believe, except the magistrates. ==================================================== Aj public meeting was held to-day in the Farnham School-house, Cavan, on behalf of the Ulster Society for promoting the eduction of the deaf and dumb and the blind. The attendance was very large and highly respectable. The chair was taken at a quarter past one by the Rev. Mr. PRESTON, who spoke at great length of the humane and beneficial effects resulting from the efforts of the society. A member of the deuptation then put forward a blind boy about ten years of age, who has been but two years under tuition; by means of his cultivated sense of feeling, he read several extracts from the bible, and also answered correctly every question put to him by the Chairman. A deaf and dumb boy was next questioned in writing, and his answers were rather intelligent, while the writing in which they were conveyed was highly creditable. The Rev. Mr. PRICE then addressed the meeting in a very eloquesnt strain, and a collection was immediately entered into for the support of the institution. Arthur PATTERSON was fined one pound by the Magistrates assembled at Cavan Petty Sessions, for assaulting a policeman on the 12th of July. ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.--On Tuesday evening last a most daring attempt was made to rob Mr. Mark DOOGAN, butter merchant, by three fellows who met him at the Commons, as he was going into Belturbet. They pulled him off his cart, threw him upon the ground, and commence to rifle his pockets; but they failed to effect their purpose so speedily as they expected. Upon the approach of some person, the villains decamped, leaving Mr. DOOGAN in the joyful and undisturbed possession of his life, about £110 in bank notes and nearly same amount in cheques. Before Mr. D. became overpowered he used his loaded whip with good effect. One of the ruffians received a very severe stroke on the side of the head, which it is hoped, will lead to his detection. ____________________________________________________________ BIRTHS On Friday the 28th ult., at Ushers Quay, in the city of Dublin, the lady of George J. MALONE, Esq., of a son. August 2, at Herbert-street, the lady of Henry BARRY, Esq., of a son. ____________________________________________________________ MARRIAGES On the 30th inst., M.

ANGLO CELT -- November 22, 1855 ______________________ ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT. -- An old man named Maguire, whose residence is near Arvagh, was committed from last petty sessions of this town to take his trial at next assizes for the county, on a charge of attempting to conceal one of the parties, who are alleged to have been the offenders in a late stabbing case, wherein a man named Gannon lost his life. It appears that the police, having come to Maguire's house during the night, were kept outside the door for a considerable time, and, on entering, could not find the person of whom they were in search ; he was discovered, however, hidden under some straw in one of the outhouses. Maguire tendered bail to any amount for his appearance, but was refused by Mr. Hickson, R.M., who told him he should have recourse to the Queen's Bench for the purpose. ______________________ MANY A SLIP.-- On Friday morning last a man, who afterwards gave in his name as Cox, his wife and son, went into the shop of Mr. James Hartley in this town to buy goods, and tendered in payment a bank note for 20£. Mr. Hartley thinking that he was not like a person who could be honest master of such a sum, sent for the police, by whom the party and the note were brought before Robert Erskine, Esq., J.P., and he enclosed the latter in an envelope and committed them to gaol until inquiries could be made. It being known that a gentleman named Frith was robbed of 150£ in the last fair of Mullingar, notice was given of the matter to him, and, coming here, he at once identified Cox as a person whom he had seen in the fair and even in a room, where he produced the money ; he could not, however, give the number of the note, which he was not allowed to see, but thought he would be able to discover it. The prisoners were brought before the magistrates at last Petty Sessions and rem! anded for further examination. ______________________ MALTA. -- A slight shock of earthquake was felt at Malta at 7:28 a.m. on the 8th of November, and a second much smarter shock after a few minutes, which latter lasted several seconds, but has produced no damage beyond the cracking of some slender built walls in houses in Valett, and some crazy buildings in the country. A similar shock was felt at Gozo some three weeks previous. ______________________ We would direct the attention of our readers to an advertisement in our columns of this day, on the subject of the income tax. The difficulty that all parties, whether liable or not liable, have experienced in getting their returns made out, has been very great, in consequence of the various matters requisite to be specifically set forth in the complicated tabular forms. All documents of this kind, including those for recovery and repayment of the tax, will, henceforward, be prepared expeditiously, and on moderate terms at the office established for that purpose in Longford. It is satisfactory that all such business can be transacted through the post-office. ______________________ MARRIED. On the 11th November instant, in the chapel of Bunnee (?), parish of Drung, by the Rev. P. Clarke, P.P., John, son of Mr. John Lyons, P.L.G., of Conervey, to Anna, eldest daughter of Mr. Thomas Brady, P.L.G., Lisboduff (Liabeduff?), both in this county. ______________________ County Cavan Newspapers Transcription Project
