REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the detects 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 liarlestone 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-
+inued 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 MACASSAIt 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.

LT One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret lltl-
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 dentand 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, procure 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 enmyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by u .qualified 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
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral seribblings 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 m ,alms he would incule.de—t I do unto others as he
would lie done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always

THE POTATO DISEASE.

DUBLIN, JUNE 20.—Thecaution which was exer-
cised in withholding a too rt,,17 confidence in the
sanguine statements put forward for the last month
respecting the hopeful prospects of the new potato
crop, appears not to have been misplaced. The un-
favourable reports to-day, though by no means
general, are yet sufficiently striking to convince the
most sceptical that the old disease is gradually de-
veloping itself, and that the less reliance that is
placed, now and hereafter, on this precarious root
the staple article of food, the better will it be for all
parties—growers and consumers, or both. In an
extensive district between E 3 recourt, in the county
of Gal way, and Banagher, in the King's County, the
plague spot of last year made its appearance in a crop
which up to a day or two previous presented a healthy
and luxuriant aspect. In the county of Antrim, too
several failures have been discovered; but the most
convincing proof of the prevalence of the blight will
be found in the following letter addressed to the
Limerick Examiner by the gardener to Lord Massey,
a person possessed of no ordinary share of scientific
and agricultural knowledge :-
1 " I was the first, through your paper,
last year to give information of the potato crops
round Limerick being infected with the disease, and
as the papers publish various accounts of it—some
asserting there is, in their opinion, disease this year
—others, that there is none, and that the crops of
potatoes never looked more promising; and as many
of your readers are anxious to hear my opinion of
the matter, I, therefore, warn all those who have
been so foolish as to plant potatoes, to lose no time
in replanting the land with simcthing else, as there
is not the least shadow of a doubt but that almost in
every instance the potatoes are very much diseased.
I have been watching it since last January, and it is
making rapid progress. Do not be deceived by the
appearance of the tops until it will be too late to sow
turnips, for be assured it will convince sooner or later
that it has done its work. I examined a garden yes-
terday belonging to a gentleman in this neighbour-
hood, planted with seed that he brought direct from
the south of Spain, and they are showing symptoms
of disease as much as any I have examined. You
may make any use you like of the above.
" I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
" DAVID HACKNEY.

" Hermitage, Castle Council, June 18."
As a set off to this intelligence there are highly
favourable reports from Westmeath, Clare, and parts
of Limerick, Antrim, and Galway.
THE PUBLIC WORKS.

It has been already stated that the whole monster
system of Public Works shall cease and determine on
the 15th of August. In addition to this wholesome
retrenchment it is added, that from the same day Go-
vernment mean to dispense with the services of the
Commissariat Department in Ireland.

THE L LINDLORDS.—THE NEW RELIEF SYSTEM.
A meeting of the landed proprietors and rate-payers
of the barony of Inchigeela, county of Cork, was held
at the close of last week, Major-General Shuldam in
the chair, when the following resolutions, not the least
curious that these strange times have produced, were
unanimously adopted :
" It having been stated by the Relief Committee
that while the population of the parish of Inchigeela
does not now amount to more than about 5,000, and
the entire landed property is only valued at 7,4541.,
or 1421. per week, the issue of rations for the last
week has been over 21,000 and the weekly estimate
1871., or nearly one-third more than the entire value
of the parish :
" Resolved,—That while we readily admit the
rightful claim of all the destitute to be afforded the
means of support for themselves and their families,
and would deeply deplore the loss of a single life by
famine, we cannot but view with the greatest alarm
the perilous situation in which all persons dependent
on land for their support are now placed, and the utter
ruin in which they must inevitably be involved if the
present system of relief be continued—a system which,
while it barely affords a wretched and very inade
quate subsistence to the poor, is calculated to degrade
the labouring class to a state of habitual pauperism,
to foster habits of idleness, at the same time demo-
aalizing them by congregating such numbers for se-
veral hours in each day without any employment, and
to exhaust the resources of the farmer and landlord,
without affording any prospect of remuneration.
" That owing to the great number of proprietors of
the soil, the smallness of the interests of many in the
properties they hold, the poverty of the working far-
mers in general, and the difficuty of prevailing on all
concerned to unite, we see no probability of being
able to accomplish a voluntary assessment, so as to
become entitled to the aid proffered in such cases by
Government. _

" That, under these circumstances, we conceive the
only practical mode of averting the impending ruin
is, by each person possessing ground giving employ-
ment to the fullest extent in his power to the labour-
ing class, so as to remove as many as possible from
the relief lists, by which means he:would receive some
return for the money expended, instead of as at pre-
sent, supporting those labourers without any return
whatever.
" That we should strongly urge on all landed pro-
prietors to stimulate and assist their tenants to the
utmost of their ability in availing themselves of the
aid provided by Government for:the improvement of
farms by the grant of loans for draining, fencing, &c.,
under the full conviction that unless the most strenuous
exertions are made by all classes to meet the present
crisis, the working farmers must soon partake of the
lot of! the labourer, and the landed proprietor be a
sharer in their ruin.
" That in consequence of the absence of several of
the landed proprietors of this district, and the want
of information on the provisions of the act lately
passed for the improvement of landed property, this
meeting be adjourned to Thursday the 31st inst., in
the hope that all concerned may be induced to attend
and give their aid in endeavouring to rescue them-
selves and their dependents from the ruin with which
they are now threatened."
MURDER TWENTY YEARS AGO.

The Belfast papers of Saturday contain the report
of an adjourned inquest on the body of the late Hugh
Dunlop, Balloo, in the barony of Ards, that was found
buried in Gransha bog, on the 2d inst., which was
held on Thursday, before the coroner, Mr. Ward, of
Downpatrick, in the public-house of Mr. John Mar-
tin, who resides beyond the Six Road-ends, on the
road leading from Newtonards to Donaghadee. The
circumstances concerning the death of Dunlop are of
a most mysterious character. He was missed from
the neighbourhood about twenty-one years ago:
and not the least trace of him was found until
Wednesday, the 2d instant, when the body was
discovered by two persons named Hayes, father
and son, in the above named bog, at the
depth of four feet. Three sticks were laid over the
body, one across the breast, anoth•r over the thighs,
and the third across the legs. Immediately after the
body was found, several persons who had been inti-
mate with the deceased identified it as that of Hugh
Dunlop. An inquest was held on Saturday, the sth
inst., and four witnesses were examined as to the
identity of the man ; but it was deemed advisable, in
consequence of some rumours having been circulated
to the effect that Dunlop's family, who are still alive,
were privy to his supposed murder, to adjourn until
Thursday last. Deceased's body had been lying at
Mr. Martin's house since that period; and great
numbers of people from different parts of the country

preservation. The legs and thighs
were greatly shrivelled up, and there was scarcely
any flesh on them. The marks made by the
pressure of the sticks were very visible. When first
t e rt
ane e-
discovered the features of the face were more dis-
cernible than what they were on Thursday, because
it had been for a few days exposed to the influence of
the weather, besides having been tossed and b ohe r
wise injured by the country people wnhoosscaimoe t

both of which were strikingly evident to an observer.
There were no external marks of violence on the body.
A strong feeling of prejudice has been created for
miles round the country against the family of the
deceased.

After a number of witnesses had been examined,
whose testimony, however, threw but little light on
this mysterious transaction, the jury, after a short
deliberation, returned the following verdict :—" We
find that the body of the man found in Gransha bog
is the body of the late Hugh Dunlop, of Primacy,
in the parish of Balloo, county of Down, who has not
been seen since June of 1827 ; and we are of opinion
that the said Hugh Dunlop's death was caused
by violent means, though we have not evidence to
show by whom."
A reward of 501. has been offered to any person
who will prosecute to conviction the supposed mur-
derers of the deceased.
