12th Sept. 1870. From the Nenagh Guardian. Over £100 has been collected in Nenagh for the wounded French soldiers of the War. The canvas of the town is in the hands of Mr. Anthony Nolan, Sen. It is understood that the High Sheriff of the County refused permission to the Nenagh Town Commissioners to hold a public meeting in the County Courthouse in aid of funds for the relief of the French wounded. However, in the subsequent canvas, even the humblest contributed to the fund, which is still growing. Constable John Moore, for many years stationed in Nenagh where he has received the highest consideration of the respectable classes, has been send to Lorrha station. Terence Kennedy, of William Street, Nenagh, died on Saturday, having completed a life time of 100 years. The "Toronto Daily Express" carries the death of Dr. John L. King, the eminent surgeon. Aged 32 years, he graduated 10 years ago, with high honours, from the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and since then has gained high renown in Toronto. His young wife is the niece of Mr. and Mrs. John Murray, Nenagh, and leaves one child. Mr. Johnston, of the firm of Metcalf and Company, has opened a highly respectable grocery establishment in Cloughjordan. At Borrisokane Petty Sessions on Wednesday, his application for a new licence for the sale of wine and spirits by wholesale was granted. The death of Marmaduke Warden Peakcock took place some time ago in Bombay. Aged 23 years, he was the youngest son of the late Rev. George Peakcock, of Holycross Glebe, Co. Tipperary. The unique cemetery of Lisboney is now surrounded by a stout wall of high masonry, thanks to the benevolence of the local landlord, the Hon. Otway Toler. The stout masonry is calculated for long years to come to be a secure protection to the remains of many generations who lived and died in Nenagh and neighbourhood. Edwin Sadlier, Deputy Clerk of the peace for the County Tipperary, announces the appointment of Christopher Smithson, of Behamore, as a process server for the district of Ballingarry in the division of Nenagh. The Roman Catholic population of Nenagh have presented Rev. John Hayes, C.C. with £200 to meet the heavy bill of costs which the Rev. Hayes has to pay in a case of assault alleged to have been committed by him on an elector at the February elections. The Borrisokane union have declared Mr. Humphreys, contractor for oatmeal at £12-10-0 per ton, and Indian meal at £9.5.0. Per ton. Joshua Tait was forcibly ejected from Corbally Schoolhouse, Roscrea, on Wednesday. Thomas Kinsella, bailiff, with some members of the Royal Irish at a convenient distance, came to the house and found that Mr. Tait had prepared for a siege, with fortifications of desks, school forms, blackboards, etc. He also observed that he intended "doing for the Rev. Mr. Eaton." The door was smashed by means of a sledgehammer and the house was soon cleared of everything. Constable Hicks, the intelligent Inspector, has been paying his appointed visit this week to the shops of the town where he found many instances of irregularity in weighing and measuring. Like most Irish towns, there are heartless full-blown bakers in Nenagh growing fat at the expense of the poor. The salary of Mrs Kennedy, fever-hospital nurse at Thurles will be increased from £15 to £20 per annum from next month. 3rd Oct. 1870 At the close of last week, Constable Stewart, a remarkably shrewd and discerning officer of Newport Station, succeeded in bringing to light a new rifle and bayonet of London manufacture, which were concealed in the house of a Mrs Ryan in the locality. The discovery indicated great cleverness in the Constable. We understand that a marriage has been arranged between Captain John Finch, Tullamore, Nenagh, and the daughter of Thompson Russell, Esq., of the firm of Messrs J.N. Russell & Sons, the eminent Limerick merchants and manufacturers. "A lady in waiting" writes-It is with much pleasure I inform you that before many days the shrill blast of the horn, and the loud shout of the hunter, will resound through the cottage glen of princely Rapla.
