THE ACCIDENT AT EGHADI.—The adjourned in-
quest into the death of Mr Esau Trigg was concluded
yesterday at the Vestry Hall, St. Martin's-in-the-Fields.
The jury, after hearing evidence sufficient to establish the
fact that the deceased died in consequence of injuries re-
ceived during the accident at Egham, returned a verdict to
that effect.

MANCHESTER UNITY ODD FELLOWS.—The half-
yearly meeting of the Norri London District of
the above society was held at the Freemasons' Tavern,
Great Queen-street, yesterday, at 9 o'clock, presided over by
Prov. G. M. Stephens, and over 60 deputies attended. The
auditor's report was read by P.P.G.M. Rough, showing
the cash receipts during the half-year to be £1,192165. Old.,
against an expenditure of £1,247 7s. 10d. Fifty members
have died, causing an expenditure of £594 12s. 3d.;
thirty-one members' wive§ have also died, causing
an expenditure of £lB6, which is to be met by
a levy on 9,407 members at ls. 7d., which
will produce £744 14s. sd. The report was adopted, two
alterations of district rules were made, and the subject of
graduated payments, recently adopted at Birkenhead, not
being published to the members, was left to specialmeeting.
An application was made to open another lodge in Con-
stantinople, which was allowed, but considering the high
rate of mortality in that country, should be met by the
lodges there forming a district of their own at a higher
rate of payment. A dispensation was granted to
open a new lodge at tha New Inn, Henry-street.
St. John's-wood, also to open a new lodge at the King's
Arms, Hanway-street, Oxford-street. Several petitions and
appeals were heard, and propositions for officers for 1865,
and the meeting separated after many useful suggestions.
ANCIENT HAIR-DOCTORS.—But it seems that in
all times ladies and gentlemen losing their hair be-
lieved in the possibility of a remedy, and where there was a
demand there was, of course, a supply. The Ediths and
Rowenas of the Saxons consulted the doctors about their
hair, and so did the Julius and ./B. unifies of the Romans be•
fore them. The treatment was rather differentia those days,
but probably not less successful than that of our time. We
may doubt whether the Lady Rowena put her hair in
curl-papers; we may be sure she went to bed with her
nose iull of sowbread, serenely confident that she knew
how to keep her hair on her head. "In case that a man's
hair fall off, take this same wort (sowbred) and put it into the
noatrels," says Apuleus. He ados, Boon afterwards, "It also
is well beneficial for heartache;" possibly he might have said
with equal truth, for "the thousand natural ills that flesh is
heir to." But in any case it is no small thing to know how
your hair may be made to grow, and your heart cured of its
aches by one and the same remedy. But not content with act-
ing upon the hair indirectly through the olfactory nerves and
brain Apuleius and the Leeches occasionally recommend
local applications. They mention especially water-wort. " If
a man's hair fall off," they say take this same wort, pound

it in oil, smear then the hair therewith, it soon belemeth
fast." The assertion is rather vague as regards time,
especially when we consider that the Saxons were a patient
people. We are more precise in these days; "a month's
trial will suffice to convince the most sceptical of the infal-
lible virtues of the pommade Philocome ;" and "we need
ask the silletcd to buy no more than one bottle of the
oil of the Erquimaux claioe,"—,Dickons's "411 the Fear
