During this period winters were much colder. In large towns like Nenagh if a street or a road had a large slope or incline, children and sometimes adults would pour buckets of water over it. This would freeze rapidly, creating a slide. This provided many hours of fun for children and adults. It was frowned apon by the Police and local authorities.

On Saturday morning, a threatening letter was received by Thos. Rice Henn, Esq., QC, Paradise, signed "A Tipperary Boy" informing him that "the justice of revenge will be executed on him, whether at home or elsewhere, no matter how remote his residence might be." A party of police proceeded to the house of Pat Mulconry, at Shanakea, and arrested on suspicion a man named John Behan. At Newport Petty Sessions, Dan Carroll and Pat Train (no relation to the irrepressible George) were fined 2/6 each, for sliding on the streets. The Guardians of the Poor of the Ballinasloe Union, have decided to refuse to give the paupers the usual extras for dinner this Christmas. Thomas Kennedy of Lahid, near Nenagh died from the effect of a fall from his horse, on his return from Nenagh last Thursday night. Births. At summer hill, Nenagh, to the wife of Mr. Loughrey, a son. At the Imperial Hotel, Nenagh, to the wife of Mr. Maurice Synan, proprietor, a daughter. At Collegehill, Templemore, to Mrs O'Meara, a son. Late on Thursday evening, four thatched outhouses at the rere of Mr. John Moylan's dwelling, Barrack Street, Nenagh, were burned to the ground. Four horses and a large quantity of poultry perished. A young chap, named Hayes, from Silver Street, saved one horse and a jennet. Fortunately the fire took place near a stream, so that water was easily had. The damage was estimated at £150. First Class Sub-Inspector Reamsbottom, stationed at Athlone, has got a month's leave of absence. At present he is on a visit with H.H. Poe, Esq. J.P. Solsboro, Nenagh. At Thurles, on Sunday night, an old man named Owen Landers, whilst in conversation with Ryan, the night watchman, received a stroke of a stone on the ear, which almost severed it. It is supposed the stone was meant for Ryan. The many friends of Major Gason. J.P. the esteemed and popular gentleman, will be glad to learn that he is so far convalescent as to be able to sit up for an hour yesterday, and two hours this afternoon. An inmate of the Thurles Workhouse named Mary Neill, was charged at Thurles Petty Sessions with drunkenness and insubordination, also with using abusive language. Mr. Walsh (Master) said that he gave her a pass to go out. She did not return until evening, when she had to be carried in by the porter and carpenter, who found her lying on the road, helplessly drunk. She then abused the witness and called him several improper names. John Gorman, the carpenter, corroborated the above evidence. Prisoner admitted using the expressions complained of and said he deserved it. She was sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. At Thurles Board of Guardians, Dr. Quinlan, Borrisoleigh, reported some cases of nuisances in his district. In consequence of Dr. Quinlan's report being illegible, a Guardian suggested Dr. Quinlan be sent for, so that he might read it out himself for them. We are gratified to find that Mr. Thomas O'Meara's son, of Lisduff, Moneygall, distinguished himself at the recent examination for the qualification to be admitted an attorney. He was awarded the silver medal. 27th Nov. 1876. A large blue book has been published, showing the owners of land in Ireland. >From this work, we extract the following landowners in North Tipperary.

One of the offenders at Nenagh Petty Sessions last week, was "Curley" from the Silvermines, celebrated for being 160 times in gaol for inebriation. This time he was fined 2/6 and costs.
