MISCELLANEOUS.

Two tenants named Feany and Flaherty, residing on the property of Mr. G. R.Browne, J.A., near Listowel, have received notice that they should submit to an increase of rent amounting to double that which they formerly paid. Their farms are about equal in area, containing from forty to fifty acres each, of reclaimed or cutaway bog, but which. has been considerably improved by the labour

and industry of the tenants. They had leases of their farms and the term expired last March. Feally’s valuation is £16, his former rent £40, which is to be £80 henceforward. Flaherty’s valuation is only £5, yet his former rent was also £40, and this is to be also doubled. It is said that the tenants have

offered to pay an increase of 50 par cent, over their former rent, but the landlord insists on their submitting to his own terms. As a bright contrast to the foregoing, occur ring almost simultaneously in the same neighbourhood, may be cited an act of kindness and liberality performed by another landlord, Mr. M. C. Dennis, the owner of a large property in North Kerry. A tenant of his named Hanrahan, residing at Moohane, died recently, and Mr. Dennis having heard of his death, manifested his sympathy towards Hanrahan’s widow in a kindly, practical, and substantial manner. He forgave her a gale’s rent, over £10, which act is more appreciable, when it is known that the rent of Hanrahan’s farm is very moderate already. This model landlord has acted in a similar manner towards another tenant named Barry, of Ballyegan, and not only in this instance has Mr. Dennis shown acts of kindness towards his tenantry, but in various other ways, which have made him deservedly popular and esteemed amongst his tenantry.

Freeman’s Journal (Sydney, NSW : 1850 – 1932)-Sat 24 Jul 1875-Page 5

A CIRCLE OF CENTENARIANS.

A correspondent of the Tralee Chronicle mentions several instances of longevity in that county— One old gentlemen has just died at the extraordinary age of 117 years. He was the veteran patriot, James Kissane, of Moybella, who three ago walked five miles to vote for Blennerhassett the Home Rule candidate. Up to a few days before his death he had been in the enjoyment of good health, and very attentive in superintending the work on his son’s farm, and it is a well known fact that no later than last harvest he actually competed with the ‘boys’ (his great grandsons) in the pretty brisk work of ‘clamping’ (ricking) turf. He died, surrounded by a large family circle, and was interred sorrowfully in the old graveyard at Gale. There also-died within the past fortnight, old Houlihan, of Ballydonohue, aged 104 years, and Mrs. Benson, of Listowel, (aunt of the late Blakney Kitson, of Derry,) at the age of 103. The correspondent adds : We must be reconciled to these losses, how

ever, as we still have with us old Nancy Trant, of Ennismore. This lady, at the age 103 walks a distance of 8 miles every Sunday, to be present at the Divine sacrifice of the Mass in the Listowel Church. Besides these cases mentioned I may instance a few others. Old Costelloe, of Coolkeragh, who died a few years ago at the age 106: Ned Barry, the well known paver, who shuffled off

this mortal coil about twelve months ago after having remained in this vale of tears during the long period which Father Time takes to measure 105 annual motions of our earth round its grand centre; and last though not least, there is old Kennelly, of Beale, of whom your correspondent was unable to obtain a trustworthy record of his age, but who has been set down by a local tradition, as having attained 114. Your readers will see at a glance that the united ages of these parties make a grand total of 752 years.”

CORONAVIRUS

Man who graduated with a master’s degree and who worked in Shenzhen Hospital (Guangdong Province, China) sent  the following notes on Coronavirus for guidance: March 2020.

1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold

2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.

3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.

4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.

5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours – so if you come into contact with any metal surface – wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.

6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.

7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.

8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but – a lot can happen during that time – you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.

9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.

10. Can’t emphasise enough – drink plenty of water!

THE SYMPTOMS

1. It will first infect the throat, so you’ll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days

2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.

3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.

4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you’re drowning. It’s imperative you then seek immediate attention.
