CURIOUS FACT.—A gentleman advanced in
years, residing in East Lothian, was lately afflicted with
dropsy, and tried various means for his recovery, but to no
purpose, At length, having got a violent sore mouth, be
was compelled to live on milk, coffee, wine, and Dutch
gin, and on these he has continued to exist ever since, with.
out partaking of bread or flesh, or any eatable commodity
whatever, and what is most remarkable, his health and
strength are gradually recovering, although he has no desire
for food.—Edinburgh Courant.

THE GROWTH OF AN UMBRELLA.—On Sa-
turday, an eccentric being, named Kease, was charged, at
one of the Dublin Police-offices, by a Connaughtman,
servant to a family in Dublin, with stealing his umbrella
from a tent in Donnybrook fair. Kease pleaded his own
defence, and so bewildered the unsophisticated complain..
ant, by his .‘ larnin' and logic,'' that he impressed him
with the belief, that he (Kease) had possessed the urn.

PHOSPHORIC WOOD.--We have received the
following communication from a gentleman living in this
neighbourhood :—" Upon returning home on Friday
night, I was surprised at finding the road strewed with
pieces Of what appeared lambent fire, and the bank also
appeared as if a large fire had been made and the expiring
embers revived. Upon examination I found it was de-
cayed wood that had been exposed during the day by the
labourers, and the effect produced was of a phosphorescent
nature and of very unusual character. I send you a spect-
; men for examination in a dark r“om ; it has lost some of
its properties, but will explain itself sufficiently."—Che Ims -
