REJOICINGS BY THE TENANTRY OF E. T MASSY, ESQ, AT ATHEA, IRELAND. Athea, 12th April, 1867. On Tuesday night last the tenantry on the estate of Edward Taylor Massy, Esq, desirous to pay a tribute of congratulation and respect to their much esteemed landlord, upon the marriage of his daughter. Miss Annette Jane Massy, to W. G. LeIy, Esq, of Farningham Earl, Norfolk. The following were among the most energetic, and much credit is due both to them and the other tenantry for the praiseworthy manner in which they set forth their gratitude to their worthy landlord and his humane agent-William Holmes, Esq, on this auspicious event: Messrs J. Scanlan, Timothy Quaid, Thomas Barrett, J. Mullane, John Liston, William Barrett, J. Mullane, M. Dalton, B. Woulfe, D. Casey, J. Sullivan, &c. From the Kerry boundaries as far as Knocknagourna East, a distance of about four miles, both hill and dale re-echoed the happy shouts of gladness, from hundreds of vociferous mouths, and their prayers for the future success and prosperity of the happy bride and bridegroom, while with nimble feet, they chased the flying hours in merry dances around the enlivening circles of more than forty bonfires. The brilliantly illuminated windows of the post-office stood out in bold and brilliant relief from the dusky back ground of midnight. Oh what a truly happy scene, an Oasis, in the desert of political discord into which foreign adventurers have so recently plunged Our own Green Isle, but, thank God on this our happy, social gathering, no Fenianism, or other ism, save loyalty, and sweet contentment, that home enchantment, was stamped upon the brow of every individual present. Louder, and louder, as the night grew deeper and darker, arose the merry cheers of old and young, for the prosperity and happiness of the bride and bridegroom, true and hearty shouts, which only the children of the Emerald Isle know how to give, while from hill to hill, shot along the brilliant flashes of scores of bonfires, while ever and anon as the flickering tongues of fire flared up, when kicked by the heel of some jolly dancer, then might be seen to advantage the rosy cheeks of our fair daughters, and the dimpled chins and snowy teeth of the fat little urchins, who, screaming and jumping amid the showers of sparks, catching the skirts of the dancers, in their youthful glee. And as the night still advanced, the blazing signals congregated nearly the entire tenantry, scattered for miles over the surrounding districts, who all with one accord joined heartily in the universal merry making, when the dancing was continued and kept up with vigour till Ebon night had near departed, when with tired feet, and merry faces all returned to their respective homes, not however, until one more lusty cheer for the happy bride and bridegroom, and their honoured father, the benevolent Lord of the Soil, rent the chilly air, and rolled echoing onwards, in trembling vibrations, till lost in the far-distant glades of the Massy estate. – Limerick Chronicle.
