13th March 1876. From the Nenagh Guardian. At Thurles Board of Guardians meeting, an inmate, named Mary Long, made an application for some assistance to emigrate to America, her passage having paid for by her brother. She has been in the workhouse since December 1867, charged to Holycross Electoral Division. On the motion of Mr. S. Butler, a sum of £3 was granted to her. 19th March 1877. At Middlewalk, near Cloughjordan, at the advanced age of 74 years, Mr. Edward Gavan, a respectable farmer. At St. Cronin's Roscrea, on the 15th inst, after a long illness, Grace, the beloved daughter of Frank Sheppard, Esq., in the 19th year of his age. At the meeting of the Thurles Board of Guardians on yesterday, it was unanimously resolved to advertise for nuns as nurses for the Workhouse Hospital. Last Saturday was the most sober St. Patrick's day remembered in Nenagh by the traditional "Oldest Inhabitant". What was seldom known before, the run was on claret, so if drowning the Shamrock was considered indispensable, the immersion took place in a drink very much in favour in Ireland a couple hundred years ago. We are happy to state that with one or two exceptions, which had their rise in some of the privates of the 53rd Regiment being drunk and disorderly, there was no disturbance of any sort in the town. At a meeting of Thurles Board of Guardians, a letter was read from the Local Government Board, approving of the proposed increase of tea in the dietary of the sick inmates in viz., two and half ounces of tea to each gallon of water. The elected Guardians for Nenagh for the coming year are:- John McCarthy, Tooreenbrien. Michael Meagher, Monanore. William McKeogh, Ryninch, Ballina. Michael Fitzgerald, Bantiss, Cloughjordan. Jeremiah Meara, Clashnevin. Ed. Coffey, Birdhill. James McGrath, Burgess. Ml. Gleeson, Carrigatoher. Hebe Geo, Garrowbane. Ml. Head, Dolla. Wm. Ward, Annaholty. Nicholas Roche, Ballinamona. Joseph McCutcheon, Boher?ody. Wm. Boland, Killeneave. John Green, Barna. Patrick Kennedy, Kilnafinch. John McDonnell, Pallasmore. Wm. Ryan, Templederry. James B. Kingsley, Riverview. A district Courtmartial was held at Templemore on Private John Sullivan of the 103rd Fusiliers charged with disgraceful conduct and the larceny of the property of his comrade. The charge having been satisfactorily proved, the defendant was sentenced to six months in prison with hard labour. Sullivan is a native of England. He has been about two years in the service. The death has taken place of the Rev. Peter Nolan, a popular Priest in Borrisokane, who was much respected by people differing from him in religious belief. He was about 62 years of age. Thomas Downes, the jockey who was so seriously injured at Newport races on Thursday, still lies in Barrington's Hospital in the same hopeless state. His spine has been so much injured by the horse going over him that he is paralysed from the waist down. We regret to announce by drowning, caused by the upsetting of a boat, and whilst endeavouring to save the life of a fellow officer, of Samuel Gason Going, VS, American Army, which took place a few days ago at WW Fort. Mr. Going was the youngest son of James Going, Esq., MD. Mount Harden, Mullinahone. 30th Oct. 1876. The cost of maintaining the 127 inmates of the Roscrea Workhouse and the 56 paupers in the Infirmary for the week, was £24-3-6. At a meeting of the Nenagh Board of Guardians, the porter coming into the room on business, Mr. Fitzwilliam Walsh noticed that he wore no neck tie, and asked if such an article was provided for him by the board. Mr. Walsh was informed that that, in addition to his salary, the porter was supplied with a suit of clothes. Mr. Walsh to the porter-It is the opinion of the Board that you should wear a neck tie. The porter seemingly surprised, rubbed his neck and chin rapidly. Chairman-He would get cold if he wore one. Mr. McDonnell-He's not used to a neck tie, this time of the year. Mr. Head-Let him grow a beard instead. The porter silently slided out of the room. Martin Lynch was charged at Borrisoleigh Petty Sessions with being drunk for the 6th time this year. Black Paddy Maher came forward to defend Lynch, and stated that their Worships ought to put the fine on the street tramps-a crowd of them had followed him through the town calling him names. He was ordered to pay or go to gaol. Martin said that he had tried the gaol before, and couldn't stand it. There were two many devils there. The fine was paid. 3rd Sept 1894. Births. August 23rd at Summerhill, Nenagh, to the wife of Dr. William Courtney, a daughter. August 26th at Castle Street, to the wife of Mr. Joseph Breen, a son.

Messrs Gleeson and O'Brien had summonses at Nenagh Petty Sessions against Catherine Coughlan, Ballyisheen, for trespass of twenty geese and three pigs on their pasture. Mr.O'Brien swore to finding the geese and pigs on the land and giving them up to the defendant. The bench imposed the ordinary fines. Constable Shevlin had James Hanrahan and some others summoned for allowing their pigs to wander on the public roads. The usual fine was imposed at Nenagh Petty Sessions. A challenge. To the Editor. August 31st 1894. Dear Sir, Having heard that a certain gentleman is anxious to make a match to walk any man in Nenagh, I now challenge him to walk me from Nenagh to Toomevara, five miles, for any reasonable amount, the time and place to be fixed by the backers on each side. Thomas West. We regret to record the demise of a well known personage, named Patrick Cawley, who, for upwards of 50 years, discharged the duties of night watchman at Tyone Mills and Premises. The deceased, who had just reached the century, had been in receipt of a pension from Thomas Riggs Miller, esq., J.P. for the past nine years, when he retired from the post of watchman and went to live with his friends at Ballinamona. The funeral, which took place yesterday, was largely attended. The undertaker was Mr. John Ryan, the expenses being defrayed by Mr. Riggs Miller.
