BALLAUGH PARISH AND VILLAGE.

BALLAUGH is a parish in the sheading of Michael, in the northern division of the island; in length, from north to south, about five miles and in breadth, from east to west , about three. The northern part is level and fertile - the southern mountainous and comparatively barren. The old parish church, erected in 1717, about one mile and a half north of the village of Ballaugh, having become dilapidated, has been refitted on a smaller plan as a place of public worship; and t a new one dedicated to St Mary, containing six hundred sittings, situate about a quarter of a mile north-west of the village, was completed in 1832; the living is a rectory, at the disposal of the crown.

At a short distance from Ballaugh, in the Curragh, are several pits of shell-marl, out of which many fossil remains of elks, &c., have been extracted: a gigantic and complete skeleton of one of those animals, obtained from these pits, is in the museum of the Edinburgh university; and a well-preserved head and horns are to be seen in the shop of Mr. Gell, Douglas: the head is one foot nine inches long each horn five feet two inches in length—the palms are fourteen inches wide, and the tips of the horns seven feet three inches asunder.

BALLAUGH is a long straggling village in the above parish situate on the road from Ramsey to the towns of Peel, Douglas, &c.; nearly seven miles west of Ramsey nine north-east of Peel, and eighteen north of Douglas. This village contains two breweries. Annual fairs, for cattle, are held on the 15th of May and the 26th of August
