Upon the lands of Dunragger, in the 
county ofWigton, where he was born, and of 
the proprietors had seen the fifth generation, 
Andrew M‘Millan,,92. He was a" remark¬ 
ably strong and handsome man, upwards of 
six feet hi^h. His life was spent in labour, 
in health, and in comfort. The day before 
he died, he walked a mile to the proprietor’s 
house, where, since the short time he ceases 
to labour, he always dined. He had not lost 
4 iny of his teeth, which were all sound. He 
expired with ease and resignation, complain- 
pg only of a slight pain in his side. 
IRELAND. 
The plans lately adopted by Mr. Cdurte- 
Bay, respecting the Jetting that part of the 
Courtenay estate out of lease last March, is 
worthy of imitation. He has leased the lands 
in small convenient farms, to the actual, occu¬ 
piers, for thirty-one years and a life, and has 
agreed to makethem allowances or deductions,' 
at the rate of twenty or thirty' per cent, in the 
rent, for the first ten years, provided they will 
shew the value laid out, in labour or other¬ 
wise. Already the good effects of this system 
are beginning to appear ; several of the 'indus¬ 
trious tenantry (made so by these ad vantages) 
are building small lime-kilns in the moun¬ 
tains, and drawing lime-slohe from the quar¬ 
ries in the low lands ; they are alto raising 
manures, and draining the lands, it may, 
therefore, be pronounced a system of tlie 
wisest kind; and it is easy to foresee other 
beneficial consequences arising from it besides 
the improvement of the lands— -the lower 
order of peasantry will acquire a taste for in¬ 
dustry, and, having a permanent interest in 
the lands, will desist from any measures of a' 
seditious nature.

Unnerves the hand of toil. The mower sleeps-^
