MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fired without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resembl e
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

ATTENDANCE DAILY.

It would, indeed, be a disappointment to me if 1:
were deprived of your assistance on the land ques—
tion, which we often discussed together; and, in.
fact, I feel it is no flattery to say that t would re-
gard your absence from the next Parliament as a
national loss.--I am, dear Barry, yours truly,

At Youghal Sir Joseph Neale M.Kenna and Mr.
Weguelin are canvassing actively. The dead waEs
of the borough are covered with " election liter-
ature " in all its diversified forms. The third can-
didate, Mr. Crowther, has not yet put in au apnar-
ance, nor has any sign been male by " any consi-
derable portion of the electors" that they are
anxious for his presence among them.
Mr. M'Carthy Downing, who formerly con-
tested the county of Cork, has issued an address
offering his services to the elctors of that con-
stituency. He refers them to his 30 years of pubic
life, and he thinks that " if he does not merit at
their hands favour and approval his best years have
been thrown away in devoting them to the service
of his country and her people, and at a sacrifice of
no small consideration. Ile adds :—" If elected,
I will enter Parliament as a supporter of Mr.
Gladstone on the terms stated by Mr. Bright at
Limerick—namely, that reparation should be
made to Ireland for the many wrongs in-
flicted upon her by England, and that Ire-
land should give in return her forgiveness." But if
Mr. Gladstone, once he attains power, wavers or
falters in honestly carrying into effect the policy
which he has enunciated, then will I be found in
determined hostility to his Government."
A Liberal candidate for County Donegal is spoken
of in the person of Lord Francis Coliyngham.
A meeting of those interested in the projected
Southern Railway—a line to connect Clonmel, Lis-
more, and Dungarvan—was held on Tuesday at
Fethard, County Tipperary. The meeting was
convened for the purpose of deciding whether the
works, for which an act of Parliament was obtained
several years ago, should be proceeded with or
definitively abandoned. Two letters only had been
received from landholders declining to subscribe
towards the project, one being from Mr. William
Scully, of Ballycohey notoriety, who stated that
"he considered his lands would in no way be
benefited by the project, and under the circum-
stances he declined to contribute." From a state-
ment male to the meeting it appeared that about
one-third of the line has been completed, but that
since the occurrence of the monetary panic in 1866
it had been impossible to obtain funds to proceed
further with the work. After considerable discus-
sion £3,750 was subscribed by four of the gentle-
men present at the meeting.
Another incendiary fire is reported from Cork.
On Tuesday afternoon two ricks of straw, contain-
ing about 60 tons, were set fire to and consumed on
the farm of East Rathpeacon, owned and farmed
by Miss Wise, on whose farms there have been so
many similar outrages within the last few days.

The R. H. Tucker, which struck on a sandbank
at Blackwater on Monday evening, caught fire on
Tuesday afternoon, and was burnt to the water's
edge. The crew were taken off safe.

THE LATE ACCIDEIV7 TO THE IRISH
MAIL 7RA IN.

-- --P-

ABERGELE, Thursday.

The question as to the criminal negligence and
liability of the station-master was raised to-day be-
fore the county magistrates by an application for
his committal on behalf of the relatives of one of the
deceased persons. The evidence was in great part
formal, being directed to the identification of the
remains of the deceased Charles Cripps, and being
in other respects a repetition of the facts already
detailed. The inquiry was then adjourned in order
to enable the magistrates to visit Thompson, driver
of the Irish mail train, who lies in a dangerous con-
dition. lie said he did not know the distance be-
tween the scene of the accident and the distance
danger signal at Llanddulas. He could not see the
latter signal at the place where the collision oc-
curred. He could have brought his engine to a
standstill, he said, within 70 yards in ordinary
days. If he and the guard bad seen the distance
danger signal at Llanddulas, and had applied their
breaks—the rails on the day in question being,
however, very dry—he could have pulled up in 60
yards. The poor fellow told the magistrates that
he felt so ill last night that he really thought he
should have died.

Sara, the driver of the goods train, was examined.
lle stated that, if so ordered, he could easily have
shunted the goods trucks before the Irish mail train
arrived.
