DEATHS
At Beech-hill, on the 20th instant, Sabina, daughter of Bernard MAHON, Esq.
This lovely girl, snatched by the unifying hand of death in an untimely
grave; has left to her afflicted family the only consolation that can now be
administered to their sorrowing hearts, the confident hope, that from the
angelic sweetness with whch she endured the pains and sufferings of a
lengthened illness without murmur or complaint, and the perfect innocence
and artlessness of her life and manners, her Eternal Father has taken her to
a happier abode than their fondest wishes could procure her here below. The
general regret for this amiable young lady, cut off in the bloom of youth
and beauty, is not to be described.

At Beech-hill on the same day, and within the same hour, Donelan, youngest
son of Bernard MAHON, Esq. - a fine promising young boy, of a few days
illness. The brother and sister were interred together in the family vault
at Loughrea Abbey.

CONVICTS
Twenty-four convicts arrived here on the evening of Tuesday last, from
Castlebar, on their way to Cork, previous to transportation. They set off
next Monday under a strong military escort.

FEVER
Bathers and persons desirous of spending the summer months in town, may
remove their fears or doubts on the subject of fever. It has now completely
disappeared. There are only a few patients in the Hospital, which is always
the case and we do not hear of any out patients.

THE LOUGHREA FAIR
Which commenced on Monday morning and terminated on Tuesday evening, was
well attended by buyers, who gave prices exceeding that of any of the former
fairs. The demand for sheep was brisk, and the prices enhanced; black cattle
also sustained better prices than was expected.
