The ratepayers of Granard will be sorry to hear of this change--for a more economic and useful public officer, or a more amiable gentleman in private life, than Mr. MURPHY, could not be found. His loss will be seriously felt by all classes, particularly by the poorer ratepayers, whose condition it was always his object to better, by keeping down the rates to the minimum point. The men of Castlerea have good reason to congratualte themselves on the favour which hs been shown them by the appointment of Mr. MURPHY to manage the affairs of their union. He has been replaced in Granard by Mr. TREVELYIAN. Is there anyway to find out where this Edward Murphy lived. I had a g.g.g.grandfather Edward Murphy. I doubt if this would be him but all is possible. Thanks. Enjoy reading about the olden days in Ireland. Mary
