senycr.
SLIGo.-A poor workman on board the
dredge boat of the Sligo Harbor Commits
sioners, was recently killed by accidentally
getting entangled in the machinery of the
| boat while in motion. He lived for few
minutes after he was brought on deck, but
he never spoke or showed any sign of life
except by the beating OF his pulse. He
leaves a wife and seven children.
The Sligo Independent of a late date says:
We are at present, and have been during
the last week, enjoying the most delightful
| summer weather. The different crops do
not seem much affected by the great heat, al
| though turnips require a little rain to bring
| them on. The country looks beautiful, and
| the seaside resorts in our neighborhOod are
| beginning to fill.
TIrPERARY.-Mr. Peter E. Gill, editor of
the Tippcrary Adrocate, has announced
| that he will contest the county once more
against Charles Moore, MP.
| The testimonial to be presented to Rev.
Martin Cleary, PIP, late of Nenagh, but
now of Kilkee, county Glare, amounts to
over f2OO.
| A mission was, at latest dates, being car
| ried ON at Nenagh, by the Redemptorist
Fathers from Limerick. Crowds from town
and country were attending night and
| morning.
The Tipperary Advocate announces that
no fewer than eighteen ejectments are to be
tried at the present quarter sessions of Ne
nagh, before the humane chairman of this
county. They are all for non-title! 1t is
fearful to contemplate the misery that must
follow if these ejectments are carried out
the sorrow and tears of the old, and the
maddening vengeance of the young. God
knows enough has been done in the way of
depopulation, not to have the clatter of the
crowbar again heard in Tipperary. We
e. Al, e skxy n
justice, that the majority of these eject
ments will be amicably arranged out of
court, and that gentlemen who were hither-
to remarkable for their kindness and for
beatance to the tenantry under their charge,
will not bring their names before the public.
A woman named Mary Fox, residing at
Golden, when returning home from Cashel,
on the Goth ult., fell out of a common car,
and was killed on the spot. -Four persons
were in the car at the time with the woman,
and they actually did not know of the acci
dent until they had proceeded some short
distance on the
WATERFoRD.-The Waterford Ne'rs of
the Goth ult., saw in the market very fine
sample of new potatoes, grown on the lands
| of Mrs. Thomas Phelan, High street. They
are of the " founder" kind, and very large.
The seed was obtained from Captain F. p.
Brennan, Belmont.
The same paper says the Dungarvan and
|
fish this week, prices realized being an
average of Cd. a fish, result which proved
a real God-send to those poor men. One
of the Dungarvan men became so independ-
ent from this sudden flow of luck that he
must needs take wife, which he did by
marrying Il sporting widow whom, with her
| four children, he took out of the workhouse.
| With his own two by previous marriage,
he now has snug gathering OF eight to
support. This is the third pauper marriage
that has taken place here within the past
4 four years. The two former Benedicts
brought their wives to Boston, and we un-
derstand they are getting on we'll there.
They ought to remember their old friends
at home.
1t is stated that an English company isin
treaty for the extensive warehouse and
stores at Ferrybank, the property of S. Il.
Grubb, Esq, j. p, for the purpose of a
mandatory.
| The Nc,rs says there is no truth whatever
in the report that Captain Esnonde, Nj. p,
intends to offer himself for Wexford. Our
worthy member will stand by the electors
of the county Waterford rs long as they
stand by him, and that will be whilst he so
well and faithfully represents them as he
does at present.
WEsTMEATII.-Thc Wcstmeath Indepcn-
dent says: The weather still continues of
the most sultry kind, and grazicrs as well
as farmers are beginning to feel uneasy
from the great drouth; i'll fact, every crop
is suffering more or less from the extremely
hot atmosphere prevailing the greater part
of the day. Turnips, in particular, require
plenty of moisture. New meadows which
have been mown are light. Wheat is far
better looking than oats, the latter being
very thin. The potato crop, for so far, is
excellent, the size generally large, quality
good.
WExFoRD.-In New Ross, on the evening
of the 10Th ult., Very Rev. ID. Kenny, P: p,
and other influential electors; canvassed for
f three hours. One hundred and eleven elec-
tors signed for Mcmahon.
