Nenagh Guardian. 22nd June 1874. I.N. Atkinson, Esq., Asheley Park, has bought Lot 1, the lands of Mohernenagh of the Rowley Estate. He paid £2700. We regret having to record a murder which was perpetrated on the immediate borders of our County on Thursday last. A man named Thomas Stapleton, herd over the last of Clashagad, for Mr. Joseph Griffith, of Castletown, was killed with a billhook, which he had been plashing and repairing the fences. We understand that the former herd had been dismissed under no very favourable circumstances by Mr. Griffith. At Shinrone Petty Sessions on Tuesday, and old man named Doucey was fined £1 and costs for keeping a Shebeen House at Barna. On Sunday next an ordination is to take place in Nenagh Church, by the Lord Bishop of Killaloe, when Mr. Edward Maun Perry, of St. Aidan's College, Birkenhead, is newly appointed curate of this Parish, will receive Deacon's Orders from the hands of the Bishop. Colonel McAdam has appointed his cousin Thomas McAdam Esq. agent for his property in Ireland. We have learned that two water bailiffs, employed on the Shannon at Castleconnell, were attacked a few nights ago, and after receiving a serious beating, were thrown into the river, but unfortunately were able to save themselves. At Newport Petty Sessions last week, there was as usual, a number of cases of trespass of hens, ducks, geese, asses, horses, pigs, and goats, etc, but in contrast there was not a single police case. On Saturday night last, a cow, the property of George Twiss, Esq., Birdhill, was injured. A portion of its tail was cut off. As well as this some of Mr. Twiss's neighbours are taking the liberty of milking his cows by night. At the South Tipp Assizes. Thomas Twohill, a postman, got three month's in prison with hard labour, for opening and destroying a registered letter. 24th June 1878. A most singular elopement took place within the past week, the parties concerned being far beyond the meridian of life. The man is 60 years of age, a retired pensioner from the American army and the woman is a respectable widow. The good lady sold off her house and agreed to go back to America with him. She left Thurles in his company on Tuesday last bound for Dublin, en route to New York. The gay lothario, who is reputed to have coveted the widow's mite rather then her sweet self, obtained possession of her purse, containing £22, and returned back to Thurles without her. The man is now in Thurles Barracks, where £19 was found concealed in his boot. He is detained in custody pending the arrival of his fair inamorota from Dublin. At Newport Petty Sessions, Patrick Carroll was prosecuted for stealing fruit out of the rectory garden. He was sentenced to a month in prison with hard labour. There were seven more youngsters concerned in the plunder, but they got away before they could be either caught or identified by Robert Russell, the gardener. Constable Toole of the Lorrha Station prosecuted a returned Irish American for refusing to quit a public house during closing hours. His name is John Mahon. He was fined £1. Sub Constable Wilson, Carrigatoher, summoned Michael Brien of the same place, for not having his dog logged. The constable said the dog was ferocious. Brien said that the dog was quiet. Fined 1/., and costs. How to wash your face. There are several wrong ways to wash your face, and one but right. Towel, flannel, and sponge are all out of place where the face is concerned. The hands should only be used. Fill a basin about half full with fresh water. Dip your face in the water and then your hands. Soap the hands well and pass the soaped hands with gentle friction over the whole face. Dip your face in the water the second time and rinse it completely. You may add very much to the luxury of the latter part of the operation by having a second basin ready with fresh water for the rinse. Ten young ladies, seven of whom Sister of Mercy and three probationers, left Ennis last Wednesday for Hokitito, New Zealand. They sailed from Plymouth on Monday. To this contingent Nenagh contributed two-Mother Mary Michteldes?, daughter of Mr. William Boland? PLG of Kilnaneave, and Sister Mary Aloysious, daughter of Mr. John F. McGrath, Solicitor, Nenagh. 25th June 1877. Mr. Francis Russell has been reappointed Inspector and Valuer under the Cattle Diseases Act at a salary of £2 a month, in the Thurles Poor Law Union District. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Mary Shaughnessy was prosecuted by the Master of the Workhouse for absconding from the Workhouse, taking with her some of the clothes. She was sentenced to two weeks in prison with hard labour.
