Dressed and at the union-cross coach office at 12 3/4 – Fine night there had been rain recently, walked up and down the courtyard just 3/4 hour and then the mail came and we were off at 1 35/60 – 3 gents and myself inside –

At Leeds at 4 1/4, off from there at 4 1/2, at Tadcaster at 6 1/4, and got out at the Duffins’ at 7 1/4 – An intelligent Scotchman was of our party as far as Bradford – Maclean of Coll accounted rich – A man of 2 thousand a year would be accounted very rich there – Property in the Hebrides doubled in consequence of the steam-packets – They go from Glasgow to Oben (about 10 miles from Tobermory) in 24 hours –

Tobermory and Oben neat little towns, places of considerable trade in those parts – Mull famous for its cattle – Steam packets – Advertised to take parties to Staffa and the Giant’s causeway – Perhaps they go about every 3 weeks – If you do not see a Glasgow paper, may write to some of the Innkeepers to inquire when they start – The George’s hotel, Georges square, kept by Mr. Hutton accounted the most stylish Inn in Glasgow –

Steam packets from Belfast to Liverpool – The Innkeepers in Edinburgh Glasgow or Perth will furnish you with horses and carriages for a town of the Highlands – Each horse charged 12 /. [shillings] a day which includes the horse’s keep, turnpikes, and all expenses, even the hire and expense of the postboy sent to each pair of horses – It makes no difference whether you have their own carriage or not – You still at the rate of 12 /. [shillings] a day for each –

Nothing can exceed the drive from Dunkeld to Perth – The duke of Athol, all the Scotch pronounce it Othol, ruining himself – His estates cannot come round in his lifetime – £35000 a year, but he has only £5,000 allowed – His brother Lord John would be no better – Going to marry a very pretty girl, a merchant’s daughter in Glasgow, but gave her £10,000 to be off, and has married a lady of good fortune, whose fortune has helped to pay this sum – Lord John has only about £500 a year allowed from the estate – Building a large steam packet at Liverpool to convey live cattle from Ireland –

Sorry to lose this Scotchman – Might have picked up a good deal of information from him – The other 2 gents and I seemed to have slept all the way from Bradford to Leeds, and from there to York I was not sorry to have the mail all to myself –

Called at Miss M– [Marsh]’s, she was not up – Went to inquire after the Belcombe’s had my hair cut and dressed by Parsons at his own house, stopt at Miss M– [Marsh]’s in returning, and got to the D– [Duffin]’s to breakfast at 8 50/60 – Talked till 11 1/2 –

At 12 Miss M– [Marsh] and I went over the bridge – Called at the B– [Belcombe]’s – Only Colonel and Mrs. Milne left in the house – Met them coming up to call on me – Mrs. M– [Milne] went with us shopping – Went to Miss Gledhill’s – Miss Milner gone – Miss G– [Gledhill] smelling very strongly of rum, and apparently tipsy – Went therefore to Miss Naylor – Miss M– [Marsh] and I called and sat a little while with Mrs. Stainforth – Just skimmed over there Mr. wrought[?]m’s sermon preached before the judges the last assizes – Very learned, – On the righteous judgement of God –

Left Miss M– [Marsh] at her own door, and came in at 2 3/4 – Mr. and Miss D– [Duffin] out – Called and sat a little while with Mrs. Yorke – Read aloud a little of the York paper just before dinner – Had a nap afterwards – Tea at 6 – Walked from 6 50/60 to 8 – To Acomb – To the Percival’s – Did not absolutely go into the house, but to the door, and they all came out to us –

Very fine day and very fine evening – Between 8 and 10, while Mr. D– [Duffin] and Miss M– [Marsh] played ecarté to Miss D– [Duffin] worked. I wrote all the above of today, and the journal of yesterday –

To prevent a candle’s wanting snuffing, break it at the bottom, and incline it so that the tallow shall not run, but the snuff being at a certain height out of the flame, of course crumbles away without giving you any trouble – Often practised by the students at the Dublin – As told me by Miss Maria Duffin –

To prevent moth-worms from eating clothes, put camphor among them – Being well scented with camphor will also, say Mr. and Miss D– [Duffin], prevent your being bit by bugs –

They have just mentioned that most extraordinary property possessed by the trout-fish of destroying worms – Discovered accidentally by a fisherman who having caught a single trout, had thrown it in into his basket of worms that he had got for baits – On awaking in the morning he was astonished to find an insufferably pestilential smell in his room occasioned by the putrefaction of the trout and the worms – The man is said to have reasoned on this, and having a child much afflicted with worms, consulted a medical man whether he might safely apply a trout to the stomach of his child – The medical man declaring that it could do no harm, the experiment was accordingly tried – A fresh trout was found on the child’s stomach when it was put to bed, and in the morning this trout was found quite putrid – The worms were therefore supposed to be killed, and on the immediate exhibition of aperient medicine (a dose of salts) the worms were voided – 

Is this worm-destroying property peculiar to the trout-fish, or at all common to it with other fish? In what can this property reside? That this property however, is really possessed by the troutfish is surely fact: it has been tried here (in York) by more than one – Mrs. Wynyard (wife of the present rector of St. Martin’s, Micklegate) 1st heard of it at Kipling Lord Tyronnel’s – She wrapt a trout in thin muslin, and bound on the stench of 1 of her little girls on going to bed, and found another in like many on the stomach of 1 of her little boys – The girl being much afflicted with worms, the boy quite healthy – From the former the trout was removed in the morning so putrid that Mrs. W– [Wynyard] took it off herself not liking to set any servant such a piece of work to do – From the latter (the boy) the trout was taken quite sweet, merely dried by the heat of the child’s body – On giving the little girl a dose of Epsom salts, the dead worms were voided –

While at Dr. B– [Belcombe]’s this morning, Mrs. Milne sending a small parcel to Scarbro’, I wrote a few lines to M– [Mariana] to say that, if I heard nothing from her to the contrary, I should be off for Scarbro’ by Sunday night’s mail –

Very fine day. E [two dots, treating venereal complaint] O [one dot, signifying discharge]
