That day fortnight the funeral of James Scanlan was attended by NAISI. IRISH BULLS.--On the first appearance of Miss Edgeworth's admirable "Essay on Irish Bulls," the secretary of a celebrated agricultural society in Ireland received orders from its committee to procure several copies of the book, for the use of the members in their labours for improving _the breed of cattle_! AN AMBITIOUS HORSE AND ACCOMMODATING RIDER.--An Irishman was riding through a bog, when his horse sank deeply into the mud, and in his efforts to extricate himself, Pat got his foot into the stirrup. "Arrah, musha!" exclaimed the rider, "if you are going to get _up_, it is time for me to get _down_!" and he forthwith proceeded to dismount with all reasonable speed. NOVEL AND SINGULAR MODE OF RELIEVING NERVOUS COMPLAINTS. In a London medical work entitled _The Doctor_, are given the particulars of an interesting case of neuralgia, or _tic douleureux_, which, it appears, after having been treated with the usual medicines for more than two years, with little or no remission of the painful symptoms attending it, yielded at length to a new and extraordinary remedy, in the shape of a _metal magnet_. The experiments tried upon the occasion promise results of such considerable interest and practical importance to the health perhaps of thousands, that we shall offer no apology to our readers for copying the history of the cure and the accompanying details into our columns, premising only, that while we individually place every reliance on the good faith of the witnesses who attest the facts recorded, we do not consider ourselves bound to vouch for their statement authoritatively to others, or draw any inference of a positive kind with respect to a remedy, of the nature and effects of which, after all, it is properly the province of the faculty alone to form a judgment.
