ANGLO-CELT OCTOBER 19, 1854 HARVEST HOME AT DANESPORL--On Tuesday, the 16th inst., the Right Hon. and Very Rev. Lord FITZGERALD and VESEY, L.L.D., Dean of Kilmore, gave a sumptuous dinner and tea to eighty persons, his lordship's tradesmen, labourers, &c. The guests did ample justice to the roast beef and plum pudding...The whole was conducted under the immediate superintendance of the Honourable MIss FITZGERALD and her sister, who were unremitting in their kind attention to the guests.... All separated, peaceably at an early hour. A CHILD EATEN BY A SOW--Last week a fine child belonging to a person named CONAGHTY, residing in the townland of Kill, near Kilnaleck, was left alone in the house, some occasion calling the rest of the family out for a time. The first that returned, met a sow outside the door, having in its mouth the child, quite dead, and already half devoured. THE TURNIP--We have seen a specimen of the turnip crop grown by Dr. KELLY, of this town, on the farm which he holds from MR. M'LENIHAN, of Ballyhaise. The specimen now before us weights 111bs. in measure- ment it is 30½ by 25½ inches. The seed was purchased from Mr. Edward KENNEDY, Cavan, and sowed in June last. It is the white stone turnip. The manure was guano. Mr. M'LENIHAN deserves high credit for the encouragement he gives his tenants to grow green crops, and improve upon the agriculture of bye gone years. THE VICTORS OF THE ALMA--Amongst the officers of whom honorable mention is made in the despatches of the Lord Raglan, are Lieutenant Colonel AINSLIE, of the 93rd, recommended by the Duke of Cambridge, and Major, the Hon. Edward PAKENHAM, recommended by the writer himself. Both these gentlemen are connected with this county, the former from his relations to the family of Mrs. HUMPHRYS of Ballyhaise House, and the latter as being nephew of Lady FARNHAM. Both were wounded in the engagement. Another of the Anslie's died of cholera on the 25th ult., at the seat of war. __________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
