    3. 7th March 1870. Mr. John Delaney T.C.Shopkeeper, Queen Street, Nenagh, has died. He was said to have been a prominent member of the Nationalist Party in this town, and the occasion of his burial in the Churchyard of Kilmore made for a display of the feeling of that party. About 200 young men, principally peasantry, each of them wearing a piece of green ribbon round his arm, and marshalled by "officers" wearing green rosettes on their shoulders, marched two deep, in front of the coffin, to Kilmore. Mr. Delaney was a member of the town commissioners, but some members of that body were absent from the funeral, because of the Fenian display. Married on 1st March, at Portumna Church, by the Rev. R.B. Eyre, Rector, William D., only child of Thomas D. Smith, Esq., Killyloughnane, Nenagh, to Marion Susan, only child of Robert Grace, The Cottage, Portumna. The death has taken place in Ballarat, Australia, of Michael Lynch, third son of Mr. John Lynch, late of Killaloe, aged 27 years. Edwin Sadlier, Deputy Clerk of the peace for the County Tipperary, has appointed John McCarty of Borrisokane, as Process Server for the District of Nenagh. A little pauper lad was cautioned at Nenagh Board of Guardians meeting on Thursday, for having broken over the workhouse wall to see the election on Saturday. Captain Massy Dawson's sub agent in Toomevara, has announced to the tenants of that gallant gentleman that their landlord is prepared to facilitate them in becoming proprietors of their respective farms by purchase. The communication is silent about the terms on which Captain Massey is prepared to part with his interest, but it is understood that he is anxious for the welfare and independence of his tenants. Three young men of the name of Armitage, who were leaving for America on Wednesday morning, accompanied to the early train by a number of friends, as is usual here. Near to the town, John Guest of Newtown, the young driver of the luggage laden horse and cart, was seriously injured when part of the harness became disarranged. He was attended by Dr. Walshe, and although suffering from severe internal injuries he has improved slightly since. A fine monument to the memory of Richard Wills Gason, Esq., J.P. and D.L. of Richmond, Nenagh, who died in 1844, and his wife Anne, who died in 1860, has been erected in Nenagh Parish Church, by their son,. Major Wills C. Gason. This specimen is a credit to the Dublin firm of Coates, and its erection is a lasting testament to the care, judgement, and skill of our fellow townsman, Mr. Moses Metien. John Mullins, Thurles, was sentenced to two months in prison with hard labour at Nenagh Record Court before the Hon. Baron Hughes, for rioting in Thurles on polling day. The prisoner made a most "ludicrous" exhibition of himself during the Court, glorying in what he had done for Kickham and promising to handle a shillelagh again "for any true Tipperary boy who would stand against the stranger". Fashion for March 1870. Costume dresses, more than ever in request, are sometimes made to short. The length should be barely sufficient to escape the ground. Many costumes are made with two shades, such as bottle and myrtle green, or dark and light brown, and a double skirt or the effect of a double skirt is much in vogue. Spring bonnets are larger than ever, not only in appearance, but also in form. 6th March 1871 Pat Farrell and James Nolan have applied for the contract to build a bridge on the road from Nenagh to Birr, between the end of Cornhill and the bridge of Riverstown, not to exceed £40. Died at Richmond, Templemore, Dives Onge, Esq. aged 61 years. Died at Ballinasloe, Mr. Martin Hayden, formerly of Nenagh. Born at the Mall, Thurles, to the wife of Rev. C.B. Harley, a son. Born at Annbrook, Nenagh, to the wife of Mr. John Corbett, a son. Married at St. Paul's Church, Dublin, Mr. Michael Sage of Nenagh, to Elizabeth, daughter of the late Patrick Kavanagh, of Dublin. Died in New York. Capt. Morgan Doheny, second son of Colonel Michael Doheny has died suddenly in New York. Deceased was aged 27.
