    Burnings.
    Some years ago a girl named Annie Donogher got up early to get her father's breakfast. when she had the fire lighting she was getting the kettle which was beside the fire, her clothes caught fire. She ran up in the room, she was burned severely and was brought to hospital and died in a few days.
    A girl named Alice Cooper from Clonanney was sitting beside her fire about twenty years ago. It was a very dangerous day and the lightening was fierce. The lightening came down the chimney and struck her feet and made them numb. Her neighbour Mrs.Jestion ran into the house and poured very hot water on her feet. After some time she got better, she is in good health today.
