SPECIAL HOLIDAY TRAINS.

Within the last fortnight the following special
holiday trains have been conveyed along the Midland
Railway, and others immediately connected with it :
A train of nearly 4,000 children, belonging to
Sunday schools of the Established Church, from
Sheffield to York and back. Scholars, Is. each;
teachers, 2s. each ; there and back.

A train of 4,000 children, belonging to the Lan-
casterian School, fom Sheffield to Hull and back.
Children, ls. 6d. each ; teachers, 3s. each ; there and
back.

A train of the same number, belonging to the
Wesleyan Methodists, from Sheffield to York. Chil-
dren, ls. each; -teachers, 2s. ; there and back.
A train of about s,soo—men, women, and children
—.from Sheffield to Hull and back. Grown people,
3s. 6d. each, there and back.
A train of about 2,500, and another of about 1,000,
from Sheffield and Rotherham to York.

A train of 6,500, men, women, and children, from
Leeds to Hull ; the latter trains at proportionately
the same low fares.

By way of experiment, some months since the
Directors of the Chester and Birkenhead directed
that double tickets should be issued, so that passen-
gers might go from Birkenhead to Chester by a train
at twenty minutes past ten o'clock each morning, and
return in the evening of the same day at half-past
eight o'clock ; the fare there and back being only one
shilling more than the usual fare one way.
Some weeks after the same plan was adopted from
Chester to Birkenhead and back, and at the same
fares. The results have far exceeded anything that
was expected.—Railway Chronicle,

INTERESTING TO LADIES.
To Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London.
Percy-place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, 1844.
Gentlemen,—l think it but an act of jnstice to inform
you of the benefit I have derived from the use of your
admirable Macassar Oil. About six months ago I found
ray hair getting daily more weak and thin, and mach
discoloured, from a practice I had adopted of wetting it
continually ; fearing that I should lose it entirely, and
hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil, I have for
some time past constantly used it, and the result is, that
my hair is now perfectly restored and much improved
in appearance and colour, having- become thick, dark, and
glossy ; it also curls freely without the use of paper,
which it never did before. To all my friends I have
warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an e.zcellent
restorative and preservative for the hair. As I have an
objection to see my name in print, I beg you will not
publish it; but you are at liberty to show this letter, or
make any other use you please of it, and refer applicants
to me, if necessary, in proof of the efficacy of your Ma-
cassar Oil.—Your obedient servant,

Rowland's Macassar Oil preserves and reproduces the
Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ;
Changes Grey Hair to its Original Celour ; frees it
from Scurf and Dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft
and curly.
Ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil."
All others are fraudulent counterfeits.

THE MOORS .—A sportsman, who was about start-
ing to the north for a week's shooting, meeting a friend,
asked him, " What news from the moors ?" Why, said
his friend, I see a work is advertised, called, Algeria,
past and-present, which contains a great deal about " the
moors."

WONDERFUL PRESERVATION.
A young woman, named Mary Webster, who re,'
sides with her widowed mother, near Mr. Simmons 5
paper works, in the Via Gellia, at Bonsall, has re'
cently had the narrowest escape from a miserable
death that we ever remember to have heard of unoer
anything like similar circumstances. The young
woman, who is 22 years of age, stout, and rather good'
looking, is unfortunately of somewhat weak intellect.
It appears that shortly previous to Tuesday week she
was walking with her mother on a foot-road leadmi
from Bonsai]. to Ible, when, at a place called Boob'
Lees, a common cotton handkerchief which she wore,
was blown off by the wind, it being rather rough 3:
the time, and before it could be recovered it wen,'
down the shaft of a deserted lead mine which ha
been carelessly left unsecured. The loss of the hand'
kerchief seems to have affected her in an extraordv
nary degree, and on the night of Tuesday week;
about ten o'clock, she left her home, and, although
diligent inquiries were made after her, nothing what''
.ever was ascertained respecting her until the folloW
mg Monday morning. On that morning her inother,
who was then seeking her, inquired of a miner,
named John Massey, who was working on Bonsald
Lees, if he knew anything of her daughter, $3.
received for answer that he did not. The chs;
tracted mother went forward on her now u10i,136i
hopeless search, and being in the neighbourhood
the shaft into which the handkerchief had blown'
she went to it, and shouted down, when, strange
to say, her ears were greeted with the voice of her
lost daughter, who, at the expiration of a week
entombment without sustenance of any kind, Ire
peared to recognise the voice of her parent.
overjoyed mother now hastened back to Massey lthe
miner to whom she had last spoken) and he lost n°
time in obtaining the assistance of some brothel
miners, who speedily collected the necessary tackling
for rescuing the miserable sufferer from her ill,
grave, and everything being adjusted to secure as
as possible the safety of the object of their hump
exertions, Massey and another miner, named Will
Bunting, descended the shaft, which is twenty ye•
.deep, and perpendicular, and found her in a crone",
mg position at the shaft foot, sensible, but near
bereft of physical strength, and to use Mussel t
&
words, "as cold as a corpse." She had (no alb
in moments of delirium) unclothed herself to the
waist downwards, and taken off her shoes and °13,16,
stocking, and she had actually recovered the lost hay'
kerchief, which was lying by her and in which 'fell
tied up one of her shoes. Having been safely attached
to the rope, she was drawn to the surface, and durni
her ascent she attempted to hold on, but was;
course, too far exhausted to do so effectually. Ket
haps the strangest circumstance connected with till
strange tale is, that in a few minutes after arriving
the surface, she told her mother that before she tid,
tempted to descend the shaft in search of the hall 3
kerchief, she had taken off her gown, and hiddeolA
in a wall. The gown was found exactly as described
by her. She was now carefully removed home, o°,
on putting her to bed it was found that she hat' rei
ceived no external injury beyond comparatives
lacerations and bruises. Weak restorstlfof
were sparingly administered, and under the care
Mr. Evans, surgeon, of Winster, there is every likotie'l
hood of her restoration to perfect health. She Oa§
that she believed the shaft was only two or three Ynr,.er
deep, as she looked into it on the day she lost her
handkerchief, and thought she saw the-bottom. 5 $
had descended apparently four or five feet, willerike,
peg which bore her weight, proving rotten, hr°,.ii
and she was precipitated, as already described, ne%ti
twenty yards to the bottom, her fall being, no dour
in some degree broken by the resistance of the
against her clothes. She complains of having her
fered horribly from thirst, and had eaten part of any
under garments, but does not seem to possess iec
knowledge of her own as to the length of time nd,
living entombment had endured.—Nottingham JUur
