ANGLO-CELT APRIL 20, 1854 FOUND DROWNED--On Sunday last the body of what had been a strong child, about two years old, was discovered, tied up in a sack, or bag, in the lake adjoining Arragh, on the Longford side. The police are on the alert to discover the unnatural wretches who, no doubt, put an end to the young creatures existence. A PROLIFIC MOTHER--At Teeveneness, in this county (Cavan), Ellen CARROLL, wife of Francis CARROLL, a small farmer, gave birth, on Sunday last to three fine children--two girls and a boy. The mother and babes are in excellent health; she is nursing the three. A busy time she must have of it. RAILWAY TO CAVAN--The "Dundalk and Enniskillen" Company are busy enough in this locality preparing for the coming struggle in Parliament for an enabling act. Men are placed by them at the entrances to all the roads whence there is access from Cootehill; to note the numbers of men, vehicles, &c., that pass by them, that the amount of traffic may be ascertained, to be laid before the house; their engineers are also going carefully over the line marked out by the rival company--the "Belfast and West of Ireland"--to find fault with it, if this is possible. There is even greater activity evinced by them and by the people in their favour about Cootehill. Though we have not positive information as to what the other company are doing, we feel convinced that they are not idle; public feeling in this town is nearly altogether with them. THE WEATHER--From shortly after ten o'clock on Tuesday night to seven on Wednesday morning a copious rain descended, and its effects are already perceptible in the richer green of the grass and cornfields; ever since the weather has been mild and sunny. There is no one who is not elate with the hope of an early and plentiful harvest. MONAGHAN PRESBYTERY--This assembly, at their meeting, on the 11th instant, presented a unanimous call to Rev. Wm. F. WHITE, son of the Rev. Wm. WHITE, Stonebridge, Clones, from the ancient respectable congregation of Fethard, county Tipperary. Mr. William HAGNE, jun., of this town, has purchased Brookvale Cottage, the seat of the late Michael BABINGTON, Esq., for £200. __________________________________________________________ BIRTH April 18, at Fortland, county of Cavan, the lady of the Hon.
