SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF GENERAL DEBILITY WITH DR DE JONGH'S LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL.-In cases of debility and emaciation, the powerful curative influence of Dr de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil is well and scientifically described by Sir Henry Marsh, Bart., M.D., Physician in Ordinary to the Queen in Ireland, who, after extensive use, strongly recommended this preparation, and observed: I have frequently prescribed Dr de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil. I consider it to be a very pure oil, not likely to create disgust, and a therapeutic agent of great value." This eminent physician remarks: That in strumous and emaciated patients this remedy tells with peculiar energy. A regular daily course ot this animal oil is capable of bringing about a most remarkable and salutary change in all the vital functions. It does that which is most required; it checks the progress of emaciation; restores the yielding health rebuilds, as it were, the tottering frame, and its reviving and reanima- ting effects are highly satisfactory in all those cases in which the general health is impaired." Dr de Jongh's Light- Brown Cod Liver Oil is sold only in capsuled imperial half-pints, 2s. 9d.; pints, 4s. 6d. quarts, 9s.; labelled with his stamp and signature, without which none can possibly be genuine, by his sole consignees, Ansar, Harford and Co., 77, Strand, London; and respectable chemists.

THE FARMERS AND THE COUNTRY…
THE FARMERS AND THE COUNTRY AGAINST THE RABBITS.- WHICH WILL WIN? When the Shropshire Chamber of Agriculture recently discussed the question of land tenure, Mr JASPER MORE suggested that another question,, that of the Game Laws, would come before them at no very distant day; and re- cent events render it absolutely necessary that Mr MORE'S suggestion should be speedily carried out, if the agricul- turists of this county are not to distinguish themselves by what, under present circumstances, will look very like a want of courage, or at any rate, of spirit and enterprise. The movement for a reform of the Game Laws has ad- vanced with a rapidity which is remarkable even in this age of progress. If we go back a single year, only a solitary voice is heard lifted up here and there amongst the farmers, protesting against the plague of rabbits, or crying out, at most, for the removal of ground game from the disastrous privileges accorded to it by law; but now, scarcely a week passes without some strong expression of opinion from assemblies of agriculturists, in favour of a rge reform, or even, as at the Birmingham meeting, of the repeal of the Game Laws. Various causes have tended to accelerate the movement, and some of them are well summed up in the phrase, embodied in the Birming- ham resolution, that "as farming becomes more scientific, game-preserving becomes more artificial." The farmers of to-day, with a far larger amount of knowledge and more cultivated intelligence than their predecessors, and that keener eye to profits which the competition of the times produces, feel the loss of their crops and the damage to their pastures occasioned by game, with corresponding irritation; and besides that, the loss and damage are very much greater than they used to be before the art of pre- serving had reached its present stage. There is a sort of rivalry between agriculture and game-preserving, and it is hardly an exaggeration to say that for every stride which the farmer takes in increasing the productiveness of the soil, the game-preserver takes two in increasing the pro- ductiveness of the animals which are to feed upon the crops. The farmer sinks his capital in making the earth yield a more abundant supply, and the landowner pays his army of keepers to multiply and protect the vermin which in some cases leave little of that supply to go either into the mouths of the people in the shape of food, or into the pockets of the tenant in the shape of profit. No won- der the tenant is beginning to cry out very loudly for pro- tection—when we hear of seven acres producing seven quarters of oats, and of three millions of bags of cereals estimated as consumed by game in England every year. The tenant has far too good a case to allow of any doubt that a strong demand upon Parliament for a reform of the law would be successful; but in addition to that, the question is becoming more and more a national one. What Mr DAVIES said at Much Wenlock about compen- sation for unexhausted improvements applies with equal force to the question of game. How can it be ex- pected that a tenant will invent his money in what is too often a losing battle between himself and his land- lord? And it should be remembered that, after all has been said about compensation for the rav- ages of game, those ravages are simply beyond the power of computation. Any farmer who lives in a district where rabbits abound knows this too well, and we shall not attempt to argue a question which is practically answered, we are afraid, in the experience of many of our readers. Rabbits not only eat up the crops with a voracity which is almost incredible: they poison the pastures and the rapidity with which they breed has passed into a proverb. The consequence of the present state of the law is, first of all a disinclination on the part of the farmers to farm in a way that will produce the largest yield, and then a considerable destruction by game of the already diminished crops; and thus, not merely the farmer, but the whole country, suffers. The grievance is so great and so undeniable, and the preservation of rabbits, at any rate, is a practice so selfish and indefensible, that only the force of custom, which blinds so many really good men to evils of long continuance, protects the rabbit-preserver from a social stigma at least as great as that which attaches to the poacher. When we say that there are many humane and cultivated English gentlemen who keep up a stock of rabbits for their own pleasure, to the injury of their tenants and their country, we are saying what would hardly be credited in lands where the anomalies of social life in England are little understood. One bv one these men, recognizing the evil, are abandon- ing the practice, and giving in to the cry of Death to the Rabbits," and we are glad to say that in our own dis- trict there are some landlords who have told their tenants to destroy the vermin wherever they can be found; but the farmers and the country cannot afford to wait till all the good landlords have awakened to the enormity of the custom of rabbit-preserving, and abandoned it, and all the selfish landlords have been compelled by public opinion to follow their example. Agricultural reform is beginning to be the cry of the farmers, and the country will heartily support them when a little more agitation has shown that the people might have more work and cheaper food if the game laws were repealed or recast, and compensa- tion for unexhausted improvements were guaranteed to the tenant. The discussion of the Game Laws follows, in the Shropshire Chamber, as a necessary corollary to the broad principles laid down at the meeting at Much Wenlock; and the agriculturists of other counties, Montgomeryshire for instance, will do well to make their voices heard on the subject. We hope and trust that the landlords will take a creditable share in the debate. If they have anything to urge in favour of rabbits, let us hear it by all means; but if they have not, let them wisely and generously forestall the work of Parliament, by yielding to the just demands of their tenants. Many of them, we believe, are actuated by higher motives, but the motive of self-interest should lead them to adopt a course like this, for, to say nothing of its influence upon the tenantry, if they wish to save any portion of the game laws they will do well to throw hares and rabbits overboard, and only stand up for the birds. A determined resistance to all reform will end, the game-preservers may be sure, in a demand from the coun- try for a sweeping measure, too determined to be resisted. It cannot Le borne that the farmers should be robbed of their profits and the people of their food, that an artificial crime should be encouraged, sending its hundreds to a life of infamy and presenting its annual list of wounded and even murdered men—for the sake of what is sport to the few, but something very different from sport to the many. It is quite time that the people should cease to be taxed for the preservation of a system which injures them-that the elaborate machinery which the country now maintains for the purpose of impoverishing itself should be broken down. A system of so many anomalies cannot stand long before a determined opposition. 0.3westry Advertizer.

Pork was scarce, and fully as dear. Veal very dear, and difficult to sell. PETERBOROUGH, SATURDAY.—There was a pretty good show of beef on offer, but higher prices were asked and obtained. Slow sale for mutton, at recent prices-71d. to 8d. per lb. Pork a dull sale, and higher in price. METROPOLITAN, MONDAY.—The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 8,415 head. The cattle trade was rather quiet to-day, and prices of both English and foreign stock had a drooping tendency. Supplies were rather larger, and, as usual at this time of the year, there was a marked inr >rovem«nt in the quality of a small section of the Bea-ts and Sheep exhibited nevertheless, the general condition of the stock was somewhat below the average of years. This is the more to be surprised at as the season is generally acknow- ledged to have been a favourable one for grazing, feeding-stuffs having been both abundant and cheap. The Scotch season has commenced late this year; but the North Country was weil represented at this morning's market, about 240 very excellent animals having been sxhibited, which were readily disposed of. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were sum- ciently numerous as regards numbersjbut the quality and condition were somewhat disappointing. Really choice animals commanded last week's prices-say 5s 8d. per 8lb. for best Scots and crosses; but inferior stock was rather lower to sell. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 2,000 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of England, about 380 various breeds; from Scotland, 237 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, about 820 oxen, cows, Ac. There was an increased supply of Sheep in the pens, a large proportion of which was of inferior quality. Prices mnst be quoted 2d. lower for all but very choice animals, 5s. 8d. being the general top figure for Sonthdowns and half-breds. A few smail wethers of fine quality realised 5s. lOd. per 81b. The Calf trade was quiet, but prime small animals maintained late rates.. Pork was inactive, but unaltered. MISCELLANEOUS. LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.—The arrivals last week from Ireland were 691 firkins butter, and 2,770 bales bacon, and from foreign ports 21,877 packages butter, and 1,480 bales bacon. In Irish Butter little or no alteration in price or demand, holders not pressing sales, expecting the cold weather will cause inquiry. Foreign sold better: best Dutch advanced to 124s. to 126s. The Bacon market ruled flat, and prices generally declined 2s. to 3s. per cwt. The dealers purchased very sparingly, as they are not in want. LONDON HOP, MONDAY.—Our market continues steady, with very little business moving, the usual dulnes* prevalent at this period of the year having had the effect of causing our buyers to limit their operations for the present. Holders, how- ever, are very sanguine as to future figures, and in no hurry to press sales. Continental accounts remain without change; and, press sales. Continental accounts remain without change; and, prices abroad being generally higher than in England, exports are very scanty. New York advices to the 24th ult. report a quiet market, choice new ruling at 25c. to 28c. The recent larg 3 exports have already begun to tell; and fears are now expressed that the surplus left for home consumption is already too much reduced.

There was, however, but very few hops of the new growth on offer, and more money is demanded for them. On Saturday only 15 pockets of new hops crossed the scales, and 8 during the week. Prices about the same as last week. LONDON SEED, MONDAY.—English Cloverseed comes out slowly, and prices creep up for all fine qualities. White foreign samples are very high. English Trefoils were held for more money No change in any description of Mustardseed. Foreign Canaryseed was firmer: prices, however, reduced to a very moderate rate. Little Englis-h offering. LONDON WOOL, MONDAY.—The wool market generally has presented a firm appearance.

There is scarcely any feature to note in wool, beyond that if prices have a tendency at all, it is downwards. Orders for yarns are few, and spinners continue to work to very little profit: m some cases tononeat all. The piece trade, though quiet, is vet in a better condition than the yarn department, some houses doing more just.now in camlets. At a sale here this afternoon of 400 packs of wool, of ordinary quality, the bidding was very spirited, and the highest current prices were realised.

THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S…
THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S APPOINTMENTS. To the Editor of the Oswestry Advertizer. SIR,-I shall be grateful to you if you will exercise your customary courtesy and justice by allowing me to meet the letter of Amantissimus ^Equi," with a somewhat stronger contradiction than the faint remonstrance which is offered by the "Churchman," who requests you to insert it, and who reminds me of the schoolmaster who desired his boys not to put an obnoxious individual under the pump. I ask for the insertion of this letter because I have better opportunities than most people of forming an opinion of the merits of some of the appointments condemned by Amantissimus Alqui." I shall confine my observations to the cases and parishes that I know. I may, I think, be permitted to say parenthetically, that I hold most strongly the belief that the appointment of real Welshmen to Welsh Bishoprics is not only due to plain justice, but is the best-I think the oulp-chance for the Welsh Establishment. By real Welshmen I mean men whose mother tongue is the Cymraeg not men who (like myself) have a smatter- ing of it, or men who have learned it as a foreign language when childhood is past. With this proviso which I make ex animo, I assert most fearlessly that in three of the cases which "Amantissimus" has given, his attacks are in the highest degree unjust, for that there are not in the whole of England and Wales three parishes more faithfully and effectively served than the three I am going to name. 1st. Meifod. -1 lived for twelve months in that parish, and saw myself how admirably and devotedly it was worked I listened to sermons which gave evidence of great theological attainment and of most careful thought, and I know, not only from my own imperfect judgment but from the evidence of thorough Welshmen, that the Welsh ministrations in Meifod church are as successful as the English. 2nd. Llandrinio.—I have known and been connected with this parish all my life long, and now I see its parishioners constantly, and I am certain that there is not a single person in the whole parish to whom his pastor is not a most dear personal friend. It may be presumptuous in me to praise a man of such distinguished ability and attainment; but if unceasing and most affectionate parochial visitation, if the truest Christian piety, if high scholarship and wide reading if the gentlest and most courteous simplicity of heart aud character, if true Evangelical preaching, if the kindest and most unobtrusive generosity to all who are in want; if a well-filled church and a devoted flock, are proofs of a bad appointment, then, and then only, was the last appointment to Llandrinio a, bad one. 3rd. Chirk—With this parish I am not as intimately acquainted as with the other two; but old associations and recent experience have given me some means of judging of it, and my opinion of the efficiency of the parochial administration of it gives me no hesitation in saying that the appointment to it was judicious and is most successful. I may be permitted to add that I have never, as in- spector, examined better schools than those in these three parishes, or schools in which it was more evident that each child was individually known and cared for by his clergy- man. I must protest, too, most strongly against an assump- tion made by Amantissimus," and which is very common among the clergy, viz., that appointments should be made upon the ground of seniority, or past services in the diocese, or for any reason whatever but fitness for the special parish then vacant. You, sir, I am sure, will agree that the clergy exist for the good of the people, and not the people for the good of the clergy. When a bishop has an appointment, he owes nothing whatever to the clergy of his diocese, or to any- one on earth, but the people of the parish, the cure of which is then vacant. If the Bishop of Exeter can get a. better rector of Penzance in Northumberland than in Cornwall, to Northumberland he should go. The oppo- site doctrine is nothing but a relic of that corruption against which you and I have always been warring— Ixoining but the exploded failaoy that the office is for the man, not the man for the office—the church for the clergy, not for the people. Tried by the sound test of the right man in the right place," the appointments to Meifod, Llandrinio, and Chirk, are as good appointments as ever were made. I am no believer in the infallibility of the present Bishop of St. Asaph-or of anybody else for that matter. I have heard of expressions of his about the Welsh language and people, from which I absolutely differ and which I deeply regret; but I do not believe that any man ever made ap- pointments more conscientiously than he has done, or, in the cases of the three parishes which I have named, more successfully. It is not the defence of the Bishop that makes me take the trouble to write this letter it is the vexation that I feel that when the just cause of the Welsh people and the Welsh Church needs to ba d spassionatelv and generously pleaded, we should be embarrassed and degraded by such despicable personalities, and by such grossly unjust disparagement of three of the best clergy- men that I have ever known—one of whom, especially, is to my mind a perfect example of a Christian pastor, scholar, and gentleman.- Yours, &c., Llandysilio, Dec. 1st, 1869.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Several attractions are an- nounced for the Cattle Show week, and amongst them a three-legged horse will doubtless interest some of the visitors. The English opera and the oratorio perform- ances greatly add to the enjoyments. The Christmas pantomime is to be founded on the story of Whittington and his Cat. SIAMESE LINKS.—A very sharp trick was lastweek played upon a tobacconist in the City. A man calling in order- ed Alb. of Turkish tobacco, which was duly weighed and packed up for him; he then asked the tobacconist if he had seen one of the new "Siamese Links," at the same time giving him one, and telling him to thrust his fingers into it. Meantime the donor of the link quietly took possession of the tobacco and coolly walked away with it, to the astonishment of the powerless shopman.-Timu. —Sold by ASKEW ROBERTS, WOODALL, AND YENABLES, Bailey Head, Oswestry. MODERN CusToma. -Presentations and testimonials are largely on the increase this modern custom appears to extend to almost every household, for no auspicious event is allowed to pass without its being marked by some pleasing souvenir; Birthdays, Christenings, Marriages, the seasons of the year, such as Christmas, New Years &c., invariably receive special commemoration. The at- tention of one of the great London Manufacturers, Mr J. W. BENSON, of 25, Old Bond-street, and of the City Steam Factory, Ludgate-hill, has been directed to this subject. With the view of giving more artistic effect to this custom of society, he has published a most interesting Illustrated Historical Pamphlet upon Watches and Clocks, also one upon artistic Gold Jewellery, Silver and Electro- plate all are profusely illustrated with choice designs, and are sent post-free for 2d. each, thus bringing within the reach of those who live even thousands of mile s away from London, one of the largest and most artistic collec- tions which can be seen in any part of the world; and, it necessary, designs are prepared to illustrate any special case.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS.—Are you broken of your rest by a sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting teeth go at once to a chemist and get a bottle of Mrs Winslow's Sooth- ing Syrup. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately it is perfectly harmless; it produces natural quiet sleep, by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes "as bright as a button." It has been long in use in America, and is highly recommended by medical men. It is very pleasant to take; it soothes the child; it softc- the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulate- ? bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysejn"7 and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or ot causes. Be sure and ask for Mrs Winslow's Soothir: 0 mother should be without it.—Sold V 9rt-ecv £ Dealers at Is. lid. per bottle.
