ANGLO CELT - April 7, 1853 ------------------------------------------ PERSECUTION OF THE "ANGLO-CELT." Cavan This Evening. Just before going to press the Proprietor of this journal was served with an official notice from the Crown Office, Dublin, to surrender on Monday the 18th of April, Instant, to abide judgment in the case of the Queen v. Watlace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A MECHANICS' INSTITUTE We have been requested this week to again call attention to the necessity which exists of establishing a Literary and Scientific Institute in Cavan. We are aware that Capt. ERSKINE, Dr. HALPIN, Rev. W. P. MOORE, Mr. KELLY, and some others are favourable to the project and would be active in furthering it. What then prevents the formation of a Committee to commence the business and take the steps necessary to its accomplishment? We cannot see. The opportunity is good, and we have no doubt the townspeople would respond generously to any appeal made to them for so laudable an object as that we have named. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSIONARY MEETING. -- We are informed that the annual missionary meeting of the Methodist Society will be held, D. V., in Bridge-street meeting-house, Cavan, on the 20th of April instant, at half past six o'clock in the evening. The Rev. John BEDFORD from England, with other ministers, will attend to advocate the mission cause. A collection will be made in aid of the society. A large attendance is expected. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH. -- On the morning of Tuesday, the 29th ult., the neighbourhood of Oldcastle was thrown into considerable excitement by the announcement of the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Joseph SHERIDAN of Ballinlough, in the parish of Moylough. Mr. Sheridan, who was a member of the Oldcastle board of guardians, attended the meeting on the 26th ult., and being a powerful young man, in high health and spirits, he subsequently attended at the chapel of Oldcastle on Easter Sunday and dined in the town with a friend. About 8 o'clock on the evening of Monday he took some tea and eggs in the home of a neighbour, and on his leaving was suddenly attacked with violent headache and retching, when he shortly after became speechless, in which state he remained until eleven o'clock, when he expired. Dr. ATKIN of Oldcastle was called in about an hour before he died, but could give no opinion as to the cause of death. An Inquest was held on the body on Thursday (but no me! dical man was examined) when it appears a verdict was retuned -- "Died by the visitation of God." ==================================================== County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
