Dear Dr. Egan, It has come to my knowledge that my wife was reading the
enclosed scrap book kept by her old father for many years 2 days before the
collapse, she told my sister when visiting the hospital last weekend that
she thought she had been reading too much about the deaths in the family
connection. I spoke to Dr. McElderry to-day and he thought you might like to
see it in case it might have any bearing on my wife's condition. She seemed
according to my sister to have been trying to read it when I would not be
around but over what length of time she had been reading it I do not know.
It came into her possession about 4 months ago from her sister-in-law who
wanted it out of her house. Yours sincerely David Mahood

February 1888 - Interesting Proceedings at Drumbeg
The good feeling which exists amongst the tenants on the various estates in
the North of Ireland is proverbial, and was fittingly illustrated this week
on the extensive farm of Mr. Alexander Graham, at Drumbeg, County Down. It
having become known that Mr. Graham had received possession of the farm
which he purchased a short time ago from the representatives of the late Mr.
Kirkwood, his new neighbours determined to give him a practical greeting,
and on Wednesday last appeared on the premises with at least thirty-six
ploughs, which, after a few preliminaries, were in the hands of a like
number of sturdy sons of the soil doing "active service." The
arrangements made were capital, and in a short time a great many acres had
been broken. After Mr. Graham had in suitable terms thanked his
friends, and mutual expressions of good-will had been exchanged, the company
departed to their several homes.

Few people know that there is a kind of spider which spins no web.
It is called "the hunting spider," and its favourite hunting grounds are
alls, the surfaces of which are well exposed to the sun. It is a most
interesting sight to see one of these savage little creatures in search of a
dinner. It prowls along for all the world like a little lion, until it
catches sight of a fly. Then there is a moment's pause, while the
attacker surveys the ground with a view to deciding the best course to take.
As soon as his mind is made up at this point he pulls himself together and
advances on his prey ----

But, tugging too tight, tore the tie,
Tom turned to Ted Tye,
Then told Ted to try
To tie the tie Tom tried to tie.
