The recent sale of the Marquis OF
Waterfords estates in Ireland is described
by the Dublin Post as one of the most
remarkable ever witnessed in any part OF
that country. The land was divided into
one hundred and twenty-one lots, and
brought upward of S1,5r0,000. What
renders this sale remarkable was the fact
that most Of the land was bought by ten
ants, some of whom paid at the rate of
fifty, others forty, and none at less than
thirty years purchase.

A SuFFERER.-A short time ago a
valued and respected clerk of the Bank
OF New York shot himself No reason
could be conjectured to account for the
act of suicide, except that he had been
suffering from intense pain in the head,
which was supposed to be caused by
neuralgia. After the death of hisyoung
man, who was not twenty five years old,
his family physician made a scientific
examination of the brain, which revealed
the fact that for years he had been a
sufferer from n strange and terrible
cause. The fits of headache, which for
the last eight years had almost driven
him distracted, were caused by sharp,
needle-like growths of bone, which had
been forcing their way from the skull
into the brain, until they penetrated so
far that the agony seemed unenduable.
Such cases are not without precedent in
medical history; but, happily, they are
rare.
