A Truly Irish Bull.

A truly singular method of preserving ruins, says the London Truth, has been discovered in Ireland. On the Case Hill, near Belfast, there was a short time ago an ancient castle, lu order to preserve its ruins from the ravages of time and of passing vandals, some autiquar.an determined to surround it with a wall and employed a contractor to execute the work. The wail was finished in due course, but when the antlquar ian came to admire the castle it was gone. The contractor had used the ruins for material, and not a stone of the castle remained.
