ANGLO-CELT AUGUST 10, 1854 DIED. March 31st, at Adelaide, Southern Australia, of appoplexy, Mr. Thomas PARR, in his 30th year, Surgeon Superintendent in her Majesty's Colonial and Emigration Commission, sincerely and deservedly regretted by a numerous circle of friends. He was only child of Mr. John J. PARR, residing for many years in the City of Dublin. ______________________________________________________________ THE LATE DR. PARR In another column will be found an obituary notice of this gentleman, but we think that the fact of his being a townsman, who died far away from us, in an employment as beneficent as any other in which he could be engaged--the service of those whom poverty or some equally cogent circumstance forced to leave their homes for a foreign land--entitle him to some further consideration at our hands. Dr. PARR was our townsman, and there are many here to-day who were his playmates and schoolfellows, and are ready to testify that he was one much deserving to be loved. Educated in the Royal School, he there exhibited those talents and that industry which, at a subsequent period enabled him to obtain his diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons in a much shorter time than diplomas are usually granted by that body. To her Majesty's Colonial and Emigration Commission, who had engaged him as medical officer, he gave the most unqualified satisfaction, and upon his next voyage promotion was certain, and assured to him, when death, from whose grasp he had been the instrumental cause of rescuing so many others, seized upon him and assumed him to himself. He had already made five voyages, and how much to their profit he made them, hundreds relieved from physical suffering might tell; let us hope that his sixth--his last and longest voyage--was to the clime where sickness and misery are unknown, the clime for which his early youth and ripening years gave promise that he was preparing for himself--a promise which, we feel quite confident, was not departed from in the days of his manhood. ____________________________________________________________ MARRIAGE On the 25 of April, in Melbourne, South Australia, Mr. James FERGUSON, son of the late Mr. John FERGUSON, Coach Builder of Enniskillen, to Elizabeth Emily, fifth daughter of Mr. William TRIMBLE, the proprietor of the "Fermanaugh Reporter". DIED. At his residence, in Bailieborough, on Sunday, the 13th instant, after a lingering sickness, the Rev. Patrick SMITH, C.C., in the 46th year of his age and 15th of his sacred ministry. __________________________________________________________ FATAL ACCIDENT.--An inquest was held yesterday before Doctor M'FADDIN, one of the coroners for the county, and a respectable jury, on the body of Patrick DALY, who came by his death under the following melancholy circumstances:--Deceased, who was a farmer in pretty comfortable circumstances, residing in Lovekill, near KIlnaleck, in this county, was in the fair of this town on Monday last, selling a horse for his brother; he left about six o'clock, in company with another man, who is not known, both riding. Unfortunately they commenced to try a race, and DALY fell between the bridge and the school house, but at once mounted again, and was off at full speed. He fell again between the school-house and the loughbray, on the road to Ballinagh, or Crosskeys, and this time he lay prostrate. Word was brought to the police who at once ran to the place where he lay, and found him insensible and weltering in a pool of his own blood. He was removed to the county infirmary on a door, and survived there until about two o'clock on Tuesday. A verdict of "accidental death" was returned, for it was caused by violence of the fall, and that was a thing of accident. ______________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
