have taken place. The first was on the 16th of October
last, when the Queen's-road estate, London-road, Tonbridge
Wells, was offered ; and the second was on the 12th of
February, when two estates at Newark-upon-Trent, at
Beacon Hill and Northgate, were submitted for selection to
the holders of rights of ehoice. The Queen's-road estate
is divided into 63 lots, including sixteen substantially. built
Gothic cottages. Situated as the property is deed to the
church of St. John,.within easy distance from the railway
station, and adjoining the most picturesque promenades in
Tonbridgo Wells, it is not surprising that the sales already
effected have been so satisfactory ; and when the new roads
are opened to connect the property with the Woodbury
Park estate, the remaining plots will bo in demand. It is
the intention of the board to offer during the year the re-

Can any one answer the question, what is a Magnet? 'We
only know some of Ls marvellous effects, and admire the in.
genuity of those who apply ith power to beneficial uses, for
instance Herring's magnetic brushes, &c. Dr. Hassall re-
ports, "I regard them as the most perfect brushes hitherto
made, as respects their mechanical construction and their
magneticil action," They are the remedy for grey hair,
