_REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy'
the defects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1642,
on returning from Harlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re-
sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill.
ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con-
tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly
bald as if his head had been shaved ;" assd the Rev. J. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the
effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger.
*,,* Beware of " Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has
the words " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL " on the wrapper.
Price as. 6d.-7s.—Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. Gd.;

A R R I AG E
31 One half the world are desolately single, arid the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, proeure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. In 2 Vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to Whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Aveld," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—t 3 do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

and lambs have been in greht demand. The fine
weather with which the country is now blessed; the
promise of an abundant harvest; and the favourable
appearance of the turnip crop, may he considered
the immediate cause of this rise. The value of sheep
stock has also been greatly enhanced by the quantity
of meat' that ;- will be required to supply the loss
of pigs from Ireland and parts of Scotland, which used
to export largely, and also the deficiency in American
pork, owing to the exportation of Indian corn. The great
demand for labour, in consequence of railways, public
works, and agricultural improvements, must also continue
to operate iu keeping
up the p rice ofrovisions. In wool
the market has been inferior. Thep usual staplers and
buyers from the south were present, but they came deter-
mined not to give last year's prices. The manufacturing
districts are far from being flourishing ; the scarcity of

difficulty in making extensive purchases on specula-
tion. The farmers anticipate a rise in wool, owing
to the improved circumstances of the country. The
late advices from Yorkshire are all of a favourable
complexion, and the stocks of yarns and wools are
known to be light, as the manufacturers have for
some time only purchased to meet their immediate
requirements. We may expect a good trade with
America, owing to the quantity of corn and provisions
we have taken from that country, and the continued
operation of the modified tariff of the States, which, in
the first four months of the present year, exceeded the
same period in any future year, as respects the total
revenue, by about a million of dollars. The general
aspect of affairs, therefore, is favourable, though de-
pendent always on the harvest, the potato crop, and the
absence of any other national calamity.
The wool
buyers are not so sanguine as the holders of
the fleece. The high prices obtained for sheep have,
however, insured the sale of all the great stocks. A
portion of the blackfaced stock will remain for disposal
at Fort William, but even the beat lots of this descrip-
tion, with all the Cheviot sheep, have been sold at this
market. As compared with last year, the advance in
the price of sheep may be stated generally as

SALMON FISHINGS IN THE NORTH.—An improve-
ment in the fishings at most of our northern stations has
recently taken place; but we regret to learn that some
of our streams are still very unproductive. The recent
drought must in a great measure be the cause of this
failure, there having for some time back been so little
water in the rivers. There are, however, a few grilses
taken daily in the Ness and Conon. The Beauly seems
rather more productive, thirty-six boxes of fish havirpy
been shipped from thence during the last ten days. tin
Thursday week we learn that sixty-five salmon and
grilses were taken at Chanonry Point and stations. A
great many have been lately caught at the Inverlochy
stake-net, and with the bag-net. The Shin and Berric-
dale, as well as the Findhorn and Spey, continue still
unprolific. Last week, fur the first time this season.
there was an excellent fishing on the Dee and other sta•
Lions at Aberdeen. Should our rivers become swollen
with rains, we still entertain hopes of a good fishing.—

THE HERRING FISHERY.—There was good fishing
at the Sound of Portree, in Skye, last week, from six to
ten oral's, per boat, of fine herrings. Captain Setwell,
commissioner for the island of Harris, is, at present, in
conjunction with Government, furnishing all the
poor
fishermen in that island with cod and ling fishing
mate-
rials, so as to enable thew to make a living, as there
is no other employment for the numerous inhabitants.
