    3. 2nd Sept. 1872. From the Nenagh Guardian. The Bishop pf Cashel earnestly requests that the prayer for fine weather may be offered up in all the Churches of the Diocese. The Master of the Nenagh Workhouse informed the Guardians last week of a report he had received from the Porter. The Porter said that the Fever Hospital Nurse would not let him lock the hospital, several nights during the week. He also stated that she had abused him in the most unbecoming manner. The nurse was called before the Board, when the Porter confirmed the foregoing statement, explaining that some of the language used against him was so bad, that he couldn't even say it. The nurse was ordered to attend the rules of the house and to be careful of her language to the officers, in future. Constable John Mooney charged John Mealey, Templemore, at the last Petty Sessions there, with having a hare in his possession on the Public Road at Adamstown, which he unlawfully obtained by going into the lands of Adamstown in search of game. In default of paying a £5 fine, he was ordered to prison for two months. Mr. Sheehan, Clerk of the Union, last week at Nenagh Petty Sessions, charged one of the Nenagh inmates, a young boy who had been in the habit of carrying his letters, with stealing from the pocket of his coat, a sum of money amounting to £2 and also with robbing his servant. Mr. Sheehan asked their Worships to deal leniently with the boy, but they, however, sentenced him to 14 days in prison with 5 years in a Reformatory. A Kilcommon correspondent says:-"The weather is wet and unpleasant, the harvest backward and labour difficult to obtain. The grass farmers, however, were never so well off, and in, and about Kilcommon and Upperchurch, and in the mountains, they are full of money. Mr. Reynolds, the Schoolmaster of the Nenagh Workhouse, has obtained a Certificate of three medical gentlemen as unfit for further duties, on account of great delicacy of constitution. He intends to resign and apply for superannuation under the new Act. Mr. Reynolds was considered by the Guardians a very efficient teacher. The Poor Law Commissioners wrote to the Templemore Board of Guardians last week, with reference to a letter of the Medical Officer, in which that gentleman recommended that smallpox patients be supplied with clothes at the expense of the ratepayers when leaving hospital, and that their old clothes be burned. The Commissioners wouldn't consider the idea legal and said that if the old clothes were properly disinfected, they need not be burned at all. 18th March 1878. Deaths. March 17th, at Rochelle School, Cork, Bessie Jane, eldest daughter of Mr. William Hodgins, of Cloughjordan House, in her 17th year. At Dublin Road, Nenagh, of decline, Florinda, youngest daughter of the late Mr. James Wilkinson, aged 5 years. At Tooreen, Templederry, in the 48th year of her age, the wife of Mr. Patrick Boland. An inquest was held on the body of Mrs Margaret Costello, of Barrack Street, Nenagh, aged 60 years. The jury found for verdict that she had died by the visitation of God. We understand that Mr. D.P. McCarthy, who is at present engaged in the erection of the Roman Catholic Chapel at Templederry, has suddenly become heir to no less than 5 million pounds and £150,000 a year left to him by his cousin, Charles Robert O'Keeffe. The deceased left Cork when he was just 18 years of age, and made his way to India where he enlisted as a private soldier. By assiduity and good conduct he at last received a commission but did not stay long. He went into the opium trade and soon acquired a colossal fortune. He died unmarried in February 1876. Mr. McCarthy is now the recipient of a fortune, rarely if ever heard of in modern times. 28th Oct. 1878. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Acting Constable Molloy brought up a woman named Ann Rochford, charged with stealing a vest from Mr. Patrick Malone of Clare Street. The defendant was sent for trial to the Winter Assizes at Waterford. At the same Petty Sessions on Saturday, Edward Morrissey of Mucklin, who was summoned by Constable Russell, was fined 1d., for having an unlicensed dog. The Sunday closing Act has come into force and at Moneygall Petty Sessions on Monday, Constable Clarke of Moneygall, had Patrick Corboy of that village summoned for having his licensed house opened on Sunday. He was let off with a fine of 6d., and costs, saying that he didn't know about it being the first closed Sunday. At a meeting of Nenagh Board of Guardians, it was reported that there are seven orphan children out at nurse. Mr. Cullen, Relieving Officer reported having visited the orphan child, James Meade, in his district and found him clean and well kept. 22nd Sept 1879. At Newport Petty Sessions yesterday-William Hayes had Ellen Kennedy of Lockbrack summoned for maliciously for killing his calf, by striking it with a shovel, on the 4th Sept. The plaintiff did not state the value of the animal in the summons. Michael Cain from the Silvermines, gave evidence to the effect that the calf was suffering from heart disease for some time past. The Magistrates dismissed the case, advising Hayes to process for the price of the calf. Deaths. Sept. 16th, at 1 Summerhill, Nenagh, in the 76th year of her age, Miss Eleanor Fitzgerald, late of Knigh. Miss Fitzgerald was from a branch of the Kerry family of that name. Sept 7th , at Barrack Street, Nenagh, Mrs Mary Doyle, aged 43 years. A man who came from Ballinaclough to reside at William Street, Nenagh, brought with him a dozen turkeys. On Saturday night there was a "friendly wake" in his neighbourhood, when some of the elite of the locality appropriated six of the fattest of the turkeys, and feasted thereon in memory of the defunct process server.
