    3. >From the Nenagh Guardian. 8th March 1880. On Thursday at Park near Templemore, the seat of William Butler, Esq., there was a select company or relatives and friends to witness the marriage ceremony between Arthur Bently, Esq., MD of Singapore(S.E.Asia) and Letitia, eldest daughter of the popular and hospitable owner of the Park. At 11 o'clock the cortege proceeded from Park House to the Conservatory, where the Rev. Mr. Ormsby, the Rector of the Parish, was the officiating clergyman. Colonel Butler of Hermitage, uncle of the bride attended to give her away. The bridesmaids were Miss F. Butler, of Park, Miss Wolfe of Rapla, and the two Misses Bently, sisters of the bridegroom. Among those present were: Sir John C. Carden, Bart, The Abbey. Captain Gibson, J.P. Rockforest. Mrs Bently and Miss Bently and Dr. Bently of London. Mr. and Mrs James Butler, Hermitage. Mayor, Mrs and the Misses White of Lisseniskey. Messrs G. and J. Wolfe, Rapla. Dr. and Mrs. Burr. Mr. Albert Courtney, Manager of the Provincial Bank, Clogheen, was committed to Clonmel Gaol on yesterday under warrant signed by Edwin Taylor, Esq., J.P., to be brought up tomorrow (Thursday) at Clogheen for further examination. Great excitement prevails in the neighbourhood. Late on Sunday night two shots were fired into the house of a man named Leonard, residing at Milltown. The door of his house was broken in, and a coffin hurdled in to the house. No arrests have been made. Leonard recently took part in some evictions in the locality. A large number of miserable looking creatures, both men and women, were brought up at the suit of the police at Thurles Petty Sessions for begging and were all let off with a caution, with the exception of a couple of persistent practitioners, whose cases were adjourned for a week to know if they could cease begging. Nenagh Election. There will be five electoral divisions of the Nenagh Union this month, Dr. P. H. Cleary, is an additional candidate to Nenagh Castletown-Mr. J.P. Norton; present Guardians, Messrs Heber, Koe and John Gleeson. Kilkeary-Mr. Thomas Dwyer; present Guardian, Mr. Nicholas Roche. Killoscully-Falkiner Eyre, Esq., and Mr. Patrick Moloney: Captain Lucas, the present Guardian, retires.

Take notice that it is my intention to apply at the next General Quarter Sessions, to be held in Nenagh, for an excise licence for the sale of Beer, Cider, and Spirits by retail, at my house situate as follows, Parish of Kilvellane, Townland of Newport, Barony of Owney and Arra, nearest post-town is Newport. My house is situate in the Main Street of Newport. This is a transfer of licence from George Cullen. ------Catherine Foley. At Borrisokane Board of Guardians, the Chairman brought the case of the girl Tahen before Mr. Bourke, remarking the peculiarity of the case. She was either mad or took strange fits, the last most serious one which was the breaking of 260 panes of glass at the Poorhouse. She was soon after, however, sent for the second or third time to Clonmel, but the doctors there, according to the Relieving Officers statement, said she was no lunatic, and if she committed herself again, the Gaol would be the proper place to put her. On Saturday last a man named John Burke was brought before Mr. McCarthy, R.M. in Tipperary, charged under the following circumstance. At about 2 o'clock in the morning, five shots were fired through the window into the bedroom of a man named John Kenny, a small farmer living at Burris, near the town of Tipperary. It seems that Kenny some time ago purchased an interest in a small plot of land from the prisoner, Burke, for a number of years.(6). An abatement was made by the landlord and was allowed to Kenny by the agent: it is thought that Burke felt he should have got the benefit of it. Head Constable McGuire, for two years stationed in Borrisokane, has been transferred at his own request to Templemore. Head Constable McGuire was exceedingly well regarded while amongst us, and in his new sphere of labour he has the best wishes of the people of Borrisokane for his success. G.J. Minchin, JP. DL. Busherstown, has given his tenants and labourers, who intend planting con-acre supplies of pure Champion seed potatoes as imported from the grower, for which the recipients are most grateful. 4th Sept 1871. At Roscrea Petty Sessions last week, Pat Ryan, was charged with being drunk and with having, whilst in that enviable condition, disturbed the peaceable inhabitants of the town by rending the air and making the night hideous, by certain unearthly howlings and other noises, chiefly vocal. He was fined only 1/-, in consideration of being in quad since his arrest. A school Fete was given last week by Captain Carden to the children attending Barnane N.S. The Clergymen of the Parish as well as the parents of the children were also invited. Sixty children led by their teachers, Mr and Mrs O'Driscoll, marched to the Castle, where they were addressed by Capt. Carden, who regretted the absence of the Rev. J. O'Meara, P.P. A sumptuous repast was provided for the children in the spacious Racket Court. The Mansion of Captain E.M. Armstrong, J.P. Mealiffe, Thurles, has just narrowly escaped destruction. At 10 o'clock at night, the flames issued from a rear wing and on the farm bell being rung, large numbers of the farmers and their sons repaired to the house, and in two hours the fire was extinguished. Married on August 26th at St. Mary's Church, Dublin. G.G.C. Minnitt, Esq., youngest son of J.R. Minnitt, Esq. JP, Annaghbeg, Nenagh, to Isabella, youngest daughter of the late William Thomas Webb, Esq. Balltcraggan, Nenagh. Mr. H.H. Poe, said, at a meeting of the Nenagh Board of Guardians last week that many of the poor who want relief should be required to inside the House as he was sure that numbers who are on the Relieving Officers Lists would not come into the Workhouse in any case. On Thursday night, while sitting in his own house in Ballylanders, Co. Limerick, William Creagh, a Land Bailiff, was fired at through the window and wounded. The cause is believed to be agrarian. There is no clue to the author of the outrage. A warrant was issued at Nenagh Petty Sessions last week, for the arrest of a well known pump sinker, who left a pump unfinished at the home of John Meara, of Grawn, Toomevara, lately. Births. To the wife of James McCutcheon, Nenagh, a daughter. To the wife of Richard Wolfe, of Rockford, Nenagh, a daughter. 21st May 1977. Mr. J.J. Kilkelly died at 8 o'clock this morning at No. 16 Merrion Square, Dublin, the residence of George Bolton, Esq., Crown Solicitor for this county. Mr. Kilkelly had been more or less in bad health for the past three or four years. His remains, it is expected will be removed by rail this evening, reaching Nenagh, arriving at 9'15 and conveyed thence to the Chapel aisle, where they will remain until Friday forenoon, when they will be interred in the new portion of the Abbey burial ground. On Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the hour being about 3 o'clock a.m. when the peaceable inhabitants of the town were supposed to be fast asleep, a most wanton outrage was committed by some person or persons unknown. Having collected no less than six cars, the property of Jeremiah Sullivan, Pat Boland, William Molloy, Robert Cherry and Michael Corbett, threw them over the battlements of the bridge and then collected large stones and completely demolished them. Boland and Sullivan's cars were used for posting and they are now deprived of exercising their calling. It is now about 10 years since a similar act was committed at the same place, when the party accused was sentenced to two years in prison with hard labour. Married in Moneygall Church, by the Rev. Father Meagher, P.P. Mr. John Harty, Merchant, Nenagh, to Mary, eldest daughter of the late Mr. Bergin, of Cullenwaine, King's County. An old woman named Cummins was driving a horse and car along the mountain road of Tiermoyle, near Templederry, when the horse ran away. She was thrown out of the car, and received a serious scalp wound on the head. Dr. McKeogh of Nenagh was sent for, and immediately dressed the wound. The woman's nervous system received such a shock that her condition is considered precarious. Spirit Licences. At Nenagh Quarter Sessions there were only two applications and they were for transfers, and they were both granted. One was for Cornelius Condon of Cloughjordan for whom Mr. Nolan appeared. The other was for Denis Tierney of Roscrea for whom Mr. McGrath appeared.
