EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A GENTLEMAN.
—The fine fastionable watering place of Dunoon
was last week the scene of a good deal of sensational
amusement, arising out of the vagaries of an aristocratic
visitor. The gentleman in question is said to be the Hon.
William Henry Bruce Ogilvie, of Cowden, whose name re-
cently figured in connection with some singular proceed-
ings there with which he was immediately mixed up. He
is brother to the Earl of Airlie, and though only 24 years

of age, is a retired officer of the army. He arrived a,
Dunoon on last Monday week, and took up his quarters in
Mr Lauder's Royal Hotel. He was not an hour there, nor
indeed in the village, till he made it apparent that some
unusual amusement was in store for the inhabitants. He
opened ;his hotel in the most hospitable way to all
comers, inviting porters and labourers nightly to entertain-
ments, at which a piper presided. He would go out dressed,
give away articles of his clothing, and return to his
hotel barefoot and almost naked. When restricted in liquor
or anything he ordered he would get into the wildest
passions, and threaten to annihilate every one who stood
in the way of gratifying his extravagant desires. Night
and day, it was all the same, ho seemed never to tire of
cutting the most singular capers, and all, as he said, in the
way of having fun. He would rust out and in about the
hotel with nothing on his person but a short flannel shirt.
He was fond of decorating himself with articles to make a
show. With a large bright metal dish-cover for a helmet,
a window-blind for a toga, gaudy coloured bell-pulls for
sashes, a fish slice, a huge carving knife, or a poker for a
weapon, or a gaselier torn from the ceiling for a sceptre, he
would rush upon and frighten the inmates, or run out
through the streets a theatrical warrior, willing to do
battle with any one who camo in his way. For days and
nights he persisted in this extravagant conduct, putting the
inmates of the hotel in a constant state of terror and alarm.
He would retire as if to go to bed, and immediately after-
wards would be found throwing dressing-glasses, basins,and
ewers over the windows into the streets. He tore down the
gasfittings through the house; and one night the whole
premises were so completely filled with escaped gas from
this cause that had the landlord, on discovering it, not
taken immediate matins to stop the main pipe,
and clear the apartments of the gas, the roof might
have been blown off the house and the inmates killed.
On Saturday night last the gentleman took umbrage
at his host for showing a stern opposition to a continu-
ance of conduct that had not only frightened every guest
save the author of it out of the hotel, but put all the other
inmates in bodily fear. He suddenly ordered his luggage
to be collected, saying that he was going to leave the house.
This was the prospect of a happy riddance. Out he went,
and when out, to prevent the chances of his return, the
doors of the hotel were closed against him. Ho proceeded
to the Eagle Hotel ; but his character being there before
him, be was not admitted, at least as a lodger. He wan-
dered abroad all night, and about five o'clock on Sunday
morning he made his way in through the grounds td
o
Damon Castle, which is occupied by Mr Eento.n an
family. He rung the door bell, but not beingunme-
diately answered, he opened one of the windows
of the dining-room, violently forced
in the shutters,
gained admission, and threw himself into one of the couches,
making himself quite at home. The inmates of the house
became greatly alarmed at this unwonted intrusion. The
gardener ventured into the dining room, but the intruder
ordered him to be gone, and send to him a gentleman to
'whom he might address himself. At length a son of the
family made his appearance, and the short conference
which ensued is said to have ended in the intruder making
a dexterous leap through a large pane of plate glass out at
a window. He ran to his old quarters at the Royal, rung
the bell furiously, and when denied admission he tried to
force open a front window. The landlord, however, arrived
in time to prevent him getting through the window ;
and when the madcap found himself defeated in his object,
he, with one of his fiats, deliberately smashed nine panes of
glass in the sash. By this time Mr Eglinton made his ape
pearanco along with a couple of policemen, who took the
hon, gentleman into custody on a charge of feloniously
entering Mr Egliaton's house. He was kept in the lock-
up at Dunoon till the following day, when he was sent in
custody via Loehgoilhead to the jail at Inverary, there to
await the consequences of his folly. It is said that all the
pecuniary liabilities he has incurred have been, or will be,
honourably liquidated. What will be the result of the
criminal charge against him remains to be seen.—North
British Mail.
A Stutgardt journal announces that the Countess
William of Wurtemberg, nee Princess of Monaco, has been
bitten by a mud dog at har husband's chateau at Lichten-

stein.
THE INGREDIENTSOF GlN.—The ingredients used
in making gin in the present day are very few,
and they are all of a wholesome character. Taste in the
flavour of gin varies in different localities, and that which
may be palatable in one county will be disliked in another.
The flavour approved of in London and the midland coun-
ties would be rejected in the west of England, especially in
the neighbourhood of Barnstable and Bideford, where an
almost plain spirit is preferred ; whilst in Plymouth and
Cornwall a coarse imitation of Hollands has its general
admirers. One house in particular in Plymouth has a
monopoly for a peculiar fl tvour in its gin, which would be
unpalatable to those accustomed to a spirit of a different
character.—British and Foivign AS:virits, by Charles Tovcy.
BARNET FAIR., THIRD )/AY► Sept. 7.—The cattle
fair was resumed and brought to a termination this
morning. Some droves of beasts lying out in the meadows
were transferred in job lots among dealers, but vary little
business of a retail character was transacted. Horses and
ponies were inspected, and dealers who had held over sub-
milted to previous offers. There were many aged and in-
ferior horses not sold. The unsold stock cleared off, many
droves of which will go to a large fair to be held in an ad-
joining county. In the afternoon the horse races, which
are hell annually on the last day of tla. fair, too place.
