111 R. GLADSTONE IN THE NORTH.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone,
accompanied by the Right Hon. Edward Ellice, M.P.,
after visiting Sir James and Lady Anne Mackenzie, at
Lochluichart Lodge, Ross-shire, proceeded to Dunrobin
Castle, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Suther-
land. No sooner was it known in Dingwall on Friday
that the right hon. gentleman would pass through on
that day, than a special meeting of the town council was
called, at which the freedom of the burgh was conferred
upon him. It was also agreed to present an address to
Mr. Gladstone. A deputation of the council waited on
Mr. Gladstone on his arrival to know his pleasure as
to the presentation of the burgess ticket and the
address. They were most affably received, and, as
he was to leave next morning, he intimated that
he would inform them from Dunrobin when he would
meet the council. He also expressed his gratifica-
tion at the great improvement of the town and district,
particularly Strathpeffer, since he had been last there,
thirty-three years ago. Mr. Gladstone is a maternal
grandson of the late Andrew Robertson, Esq., of Black-
wells, who was provost of Dingwall from 1776 to 1796 ;
so that he has a strong claim to be enrolled among its
free burgesses, independently of that arising from his
rank as a statesman. At Tain, on Saturday, he was
recognised on the coach, and during the period the horses
were changing, many of the inhabitants assembled in
order to get a glimpse of hint. As the mail was leaving,
Baillie Innes proposed " three cheers for the Chancellor
of the Exchequer," which were heartily given by all
present, the Right Hon. Edward Ellice (on his way to
Bonar) joining most enthusiastically. Mr. Gladstone
purposes to be in Inverness on Thursday. In reply to
the letter of the town council, Mr. Gladstone states
that he has no hesitation in accepting their flattering
offer of the freedom of the burgh, which is acceptable
to him in a peculiar degree, both as a mark of regard
from such a body, and on account of the connection of
his family with the north of Scotland.—lnverness

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE BY PRUSSIC ACID.—On Fri-
day a respectably dressed woman, about 30 years of age,
entered the shop of Messrs. Battley, chemists, of Lower
Whitecross-street, City, and asked for a bottle of essen-
tial oil of almonds, stating that it was required for
Messrs. Pursell, the confectioners, of Cornhill, and the
shopman accordingly took down a bottle of the prepara-
tion, and wrapped it up in paper; but, upon reconsi-
deration, he requested the woman to bring a written
order from Messrs. Purssell, at the same time laying
the bottle down upon the counter. He had no sooner
done so than the woman snatched up the bottle, pulled
out the cork, and swallowed a good portion of the con-
tents. The shopman had a struggle with her, and en-
deavoured to wrest the bottle from her, which was broken
but not before she had swallowed a large quantity, from
the effects of which she soon became insensible. Mr.
Battley tried the usual remedies, but they were of no
avail. She was removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital
in a state of collapse, but she died in the surgery soon
after her arrival. Her brother has since identified the
body as that of his sister, Mary Ann Nind, a single
woman. Another relative committed suicide by similar
means about five years ago.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
are superior remedies for the cure of erysipelas.—Mr.
William Parsons, of St. George's, Pill, near Bristol, was
afflicted for upwards of two years with erysipelas in his
legs, so bad at times as to lay hitn up for a month toge-
ther ; the medical aid he received, besides a weekly at-
tendance at the Bristol Infirmary, had no good effect
whatever in the disease, consequently he determined on
giving Holloway's Ointment and Pill, a trial, and they
a,fve been the means of effecting a radical cure „fr,
