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 Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning from Harlestone Market to Woybred, where he thee 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;" and 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, end it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the growtk 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 feet speaks too strongly
for itself to require obserration.—Bell's Messenger.

EXTRAORDINARY AND DETER-
MINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
In the course of Wednesday morning it became known,
in Newcastle-under •Lyne, that a young man named
William Keen, booking clerk at the railway station in
that town, had attempted suicide,
,and that he was then
lying in a dangerous state.
Keen is about 23 years of age. He had been for some
time in the office of Mr. Appleby, the extensive carrier
at Longport, and was about six months ago appointed to
the management of the railway business at the Newcastle
station. He was particularly steady and attentive, his
obliging manners and general courtesy of demeanour
making a favourable impression upon the numerous
parties having occasion to travel from that establish-
ment. He is a single man, and had lodgings at the house
of Mr. Thursfield, in Red Lion-square. About eight
o'clock on Wednesday morning, one of the men from the
station made application for the key of an outhouse to
get some hay for the horses. Mrs. Thursfield called to
Keen, and some time having elapsed without his making
his appearance, Mrs. Thursfield went up to his room.
There, to her surprise and horror, she saw a chamber
vessel half filled with blood. Keen was in bed with his
throat cut, and in a state of insensibility. An alarm was
immediately given, and medical assistance sent for. Mr.
Crewe and Mr. Hallam promptly attended. On exami-
nation it was found that the upper part of the windpipe
was cut completely through ; the razor with which the
injury was inflicted seemed to have been drawn twice
across the throat, producing an excised wound of consi-
derable size. Itlxteissive htemorthage had taken place,
and the act must have been committed two or three hours
before the young man was discovered. On further exa-
mination the roof of his mouth was found to be seriously
injured, and his clothes were much soiled with dirt of a
reddish colour. It was, at first, thought that he had been
engaged in a death struggle with some person during the
night, and the affair seemed enveloped in mystery. It
was some hours before he spoke, and then he informed
his attendants that the injuries had been inflicted by his
own hand. He also said that he had discharged the
contents of a pistol into his mouth, but the ball not
taking effect, he spat it out. In the course of the morn-
ing there were found in St. George's Churchyard, close
to the grave of a young lady lately deceased, a pistol ;
not far distant, a leaden ball immersed in a pool of blood.
This was the scene of his first attempt at self-destruc-
tion, by shooting himself.
From information afterwards collected it appeared
that on Tuesday evening Keen left the office shortly after
nine o'clock, and proceeded, as was his usual custom, to
the Globe Inn, to read the newspaper. He was exceed-
ingly temperate in his habits, never taking more than
one glass of brandy and water, nor -did he exceed that
quantity on Tuesday evening. He called at Mr. Browne s,
next door, for a few minutes, leaving there at a quarter to
ten o'clock. He must then have proceeded direct to St.
Georges Churchyard, and attempted the appalling act
of self-destruction, for the report of a pistol was heard
in that direction by police constable Bloor and other
partiesimmediately after the ten o'clock gun was fired
at Messrs. Brocklehurst's silk factory. The ball, it
appears, was imperfectly formed, and rather too small
for the barrel, and it is conjectured that the strength of
the gunpowder must have been partially wasted, and
that the ball did not pass with sufficient force to effect a
lodgment in the root of the mouth.
The probability is that the young man, stunned by the
shot, fell down amidst the graves, where he must have
remained for a considerable period, and afterwards in his
wounded state, found his way back to his lodgings. He
let himself in, and went up to his bed-room, and the pre-
sumption is, from the circumstance of his garters being
found fastened to the bed-posts, that he then meditated
death by strangulation. His last attempt, however, at
suicide was by cutting his throat, which he did as before
described. A note, found in the bed-room drawer, shows
that the deed was premeditated. In that note he clearly
states his intention to destroy himself—he says that the
money in the office-desk, with the exception of a small
balance due to himself, belonged to Mr. Appleby, adding
that his accounts would be found to be perfectly correct.
No motive for the lamentable act can be ascribed. Keen
was esteemed by his employers, and much respected by
the public. The circumstance of the pistol and ball
being found by the grave of the young lady before
mentioned, would convey the idea of an attachment, and
impart a tinge of romance to the melancholy event; but
we are assured that no intimacy beyond that of a
common acquaintance existed between the parties. Keen
had for some time carried about with him a pocket
pistol—the one with which he attempted to destroy him-
self—and he had been observed casting the ball after-
wards found in the churchyard from a piece of lead
while at the office on Tuesday. No alteration in his
usual manner had been observed previously to the dread-
ful occurrence. lc., en's medical attendants state that
there is a fair prospect of his ultimate recovery. The
injuries in the mouth are not so serious as was at first
anticipated. He has been calm and collected, and ex-
presses himself free from pain; but he has not at present
I assigned any reason for his unhappy and in every way
I extraordinary attempt.—Stufferdshire Mercury.

THE Tumors.—We are assured that to such a
pitch have the tramps got throughout the country, that
they laugh at the law and the magistrates when admi-
nistering it to them 1 This " trade of tramping " must
be put down :by a law far more stringent than that now
applying to tramps ; both reason and justice to the
rest of the community demands it.
Dispatches were sent eff yesterday evening from the
Colonial-office for the Governor of Gibraltar.
