    1. ANGLO-CELT - DECEMBER 14, 1854
    2. ANGLO-CELT DECEMBER 14, 1854 A MILL BURNED--A splendid mill of Mr. RATHBONE, at Virginia, was completely burned down on Saturday night last. We have heard no reason for thinking that the calamity even might be the result of malice. THE CHURCH--The Lord Bishop of this diocese has appointed his chaplain, Rev. Mr. PERCIVAL, to the Parish of Denn, vacant by the death of the late Rev. Edmund NUGENT. The appointment is worth £300 a year. His Lordship has gone to this place in the House of Lords, being one of the Irish Spiritual Peers for this session. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH--We have to express our best thanks to the "Daily Freeman" for an extraordinary edition published on Tuesday, and containing the Queen's speech, to the "Daily Express" for a similar favour, as also to "Saunder's News-Letter", and the "Evening Packet." The Messrs. SMITH and Son are entitled to equal thanks, and Messrs. Alexander JOHNSTON and Co., proved on the occasion their efficiency, for it was by the active aid of their expresses that the "Daily Freeman" published the document, and posted it some few hours after it was read in Parliament. Nor must we forget our very intelligent and discriminating London Correspondent, who was prompt in notifying the matter to us as any other could be. FIRE--We are very sorry for having to report a serious calamity arising from fire, which took place last week, on the premises of Mr. James KEITH, of Drumrockady, near Ballinagh, in this county. It appears that Mr. KEITH had flax dressing in some outhouse, connected with his dwelling, and a fire, unhappily originated there, which, extending itself, consumed two fine cows, and burned terribly three others that were in an adjacent bire. Such a loss was a serious one, but, worse than all, Mr. KEITH's son, himself a married man, having a family, advanced into the bire repeatedly, to relieve the poor animals, whose cries evoked his pity, was most severely burned about the head and shoulders, so much so, that while there is reason to hope, he will survive the effects, he must always carry the mark of them upon him. Let us take the occasion of expressing a wish, that about farm houses the different offices will be separated from each other, and the dwellinghouse, and that the haggards will not be got up in such proximity to one or the other, that a fire originating in the former must extend to the latter, or vice versa. Such records involve at the same time a history and a warning. ____________________________________________________________ MARRIED On Saturday, the 2nd inst., in Carrickedmond Chapel, by Rev.
