THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—This assn
elation has now entered on its tenth year, and the anniver-
sary was celebrated on Saturday by a dinner at Cremorne
Gardens of the entire establishment of the Central Offices,
No. 33, Norfolk-street, Strand. The secretarial, legal,
surveying, and financial departments were all represented.
The chair was taken by C. L. prtmeisen, Esq., who, in
proposing "Prosperity to the gaiety," cited the following
facts as demonstrative pf the social and commercial advan-
tages which the society had offered to all classes of the
community. Forty-seven estates had been purchased in
seventeen counties, securing for the purchasers of the
lai the freehold franchise, combined with a secure
and profitable investment. Through the instrumen-
talityo - •
grade
of
lifethheed society thousands of persons in every
which otherwise been enabled to. obtain electoral privileges
they were not in possession of. Finan-
cially the society had ensured great' facilities in the deposit
of large and small
varying, of course sums of money ; a good rate of interest,
, according to' the amount of business
transacted by the
Society,
facility
paid both to shareholders and
depositors. same . which enabled a shareholder
or depositor to withdraw his
investment with prompti-
tude was also observablein the
transfer of land, avast
saving of expense, the resultof
the society's system.
Up to the 7th of September, the anniversaryreceiptshad amounted
to £540,929 25., and the sale of landd2use urcieririag
the same period
had reached the large sum of £274,8
The number of
shares issued tothe same date was 17,038 .
, but, in addition to
these shares, within the last three years increasing invest-
ments took place every year in the deposit
a making
department.
Considerable earital had also been appropriated
advances to the holders of plots on the society's estates,
builders and to others, for the erection of villas and houses. th
, Every precaution had also been taken for the improvement of
the properties which fell into the society's hands, covenants
being introduced for mutual protection, so that a neighbour-
hood would be improved and not deteriorated. Thus the
society had afforded inestimable advantages to investors and
persons desirous of living in their own freehold houses, and
the hardest working man, with the smallest income, had
equal prospects of improving his condition with the largest
investor.

As the three p.m. up train from Cork was ap-
proaching Balinmore Church, on Saturday, the driver of
the engine observed a man crossing the rails, when he im-
mediately sounded the whistle, but the man was deaf and
took no notice. The train could not be stopped till it had
passed over the poor fellow, severing the head from the
body, and taking one leg clean off.
