HEALTH WITHOUT MEDICINE, inconvenience, or expense, restored by Du BARRY'S DELICIOUS RE- VELENTA ARABICA FOOD, which repairs the mucous membrane of the stomach and bowels, and renews the blood rapidly, curing effectually chronic indigestion (dys- pepsia), habitual constipation, diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness. biliousness, all kinds of fevers, sore throats, catarrhs, colds, in- fluenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout' poverty and impurities of the blood, eruptions, hysteria. neuralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, low spirits, soleen, acidity, waterbrash. palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea, and vomiting after eating, even in pregna'cy or at sea, sinking fits, cough, asthma, bronchitis, consumption, exhaustion, epilepsy, diabetes, paralysis, wasting away, ana the feverish and bitter taste on awaking, or caused by to- bacco o? drink, 30 years'invariable success with adults and delicate children. 90,000 cures of cases considered hopeless. It contains four times as much nourishment as meat. It is likewise the only recognised food to rear delioate infants successfully, and to overcome all in- fantine difficulties in teething, weaning, mea.sies.fovers, restlessness, diarrhoea, eruptions. Fed on this food in- fants thrive better than on nurses' milk, and the most restless evon sleep soundly all night through. It saves 50 times its cost in druss. Important Caution.—Thirty years' well deserved and world-wide reputation of Du Barry's Food has led some speculators to puff up all kinds of foods. However. Mr Pye Henry Chevasse F.R.C.S., Author of Advice to a mother," analysed 16 of these, and ddared Du Barry's Food to be the best. Likewise Dr B. E. Routh. physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and Children, declares :—" Anions the vegetable substances Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is the best as it contains all the elements of milk," and that under its influence many women and children affected with atrophy and marked debility have com- pletely recovered." Dr William Wa:Iace Elmslie, of 7, Seafield, Brighton, W., writes to the LancetDu Barry's Food is worth its weight in gold." To avoid the d'anger of being cheated by worthless substitutes, insist upon Du BARRY'S REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD, and accept no other. Cure No. 89,915 :—"Twenty-five years' incredible miseries from chronic dyspepsia, ner- vousness, sleeplessness, low spirits, debility, and swell- ings all over to double my natural size—miseries I endured, and for which I tried the best advice in vain. For five months I have lived eutircly on Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food. I never felt so well in my life as I do now, all the swelling and nervousness having left me; I sleep well and feel happy.

We strongly reccommend it as a diet for children.' Reckitt's Paris Blue.-The marked superiority of this Laundry B1ue over all others, and the quick appreciation of itamerits by the Public, has been attended by tile llsnal result, viz: a flood of imitations: the merit of the latter mainly consists in the ineuuity exerted, not simply in stating the square shape but m:J.kjl1lthe general ap pearance ofttM wrappers resemble that of the genuine rticle. The J&taifacturers beg therefore to caution uvers to see tJMm's Paris Blue on each packet.

TUE NEW VICAR of Llanfair, Caereiniou, the Rev. T. Jeffrey JoneF, B.A., read himself m on Sunday. THE OFFEKTORIEB at Bangor Cathedral on Christmas Day were devoted to the South Wales distress fund. THE LIVrG of TREFONEV has been offered by Lord Powis to the Rev. W. Williams, vicar Elf Llanuwehlva. THE LIVISG OF FABNDOW has been given by the Dake of Westminster to the IWv Edward Owen, son of the Rev Cuni-n O wen, of Wonston Rectory, Winchester. THE LORD BISHOP of St. Asaoh has licensed The Rev James S. Lewis, M.A. to the curacy of Gresford. Mr Lewis was a junior student of Christ Church, Oxford, a and a Hebrew exhibitioner. AT A GENERAL ORDINATION held by the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph. in his cathedral church on Sunday, the 23rd December, 1877, the following were ordained :—Deacons: David Rees Parry Danes, B.A., St. David's College, licensed to the curacy of Castle Caereinion; John Jenkins. B A., St. David's College, licensed to the curacy of Wrexham. Priests :—Elms Jenkins Bowen, B.A., Jesns College, Oxford, Thomas Evans HugheR, B.A., Jesus College. Cambridge, John Thomas, B A., St. David's College. AT AN ORDINATION held on Friday, December 21, by the Bishop of Bangor, in Bangor Cathedral, the following ordairer! :—Priests: David Rowlands Morgan, n.A., St. David's. Lampeter, curate of Bottwnog. Car- narvonshire; Hugh Davies. B.A., Trinity Collega, Dublin, curate of Dwygyfylchi, Carnarvonshire. Deacons: John Owen, literate, licensed to the curacy of Abetffraw, Aogtespt; Owen Duries, literate, licensed to 'he curacy of Sr. Ann's district church, Llandegai, Car- narvonshire; David Owen, St. Bees', Cumberland, licensed to the curacy of Llanfihangel y Traethau enm Llandocwyn Merioneth; John Issard Davies, B.A., Jesus College, Oxford. licensed to the curacy of Lhn- gflynin, Merio-ieth; Thomas Jones, St. Bees'. Cumber- land, licensed to the curacy of Dolwyddelan, Carnarvon- shire; Pierce Jones, Queen's College, Birmingham, licensed to the curacy of Llangybi cum Llanarmon, Car- narvonshire THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER ON CONFESSION.—A churchwarden in his diocese having inquired of the Bishop of Winchester whether the presentation of memorials to the Queen is calculated to strengr hen the hands of those who, while endeavouring to unite the extreme parties of the Church, are unwilling to appear to side with either, Dr. Ha-old Browne writes tn reply:— "I agree with you heartily in deprecating the introduc- tion of a system of habitual confession into the practice of ihe Church, but I agree with you also in thinking that whatever tends to increase the existing party—bitterness i< mischievous and dangerous. I believe that the worst enemies of the faith of Christ, and of Christ himself, are those who, by heedlessly provoking hostility, or by needlessly taking offence, or, most of all, by publicly stirring up religious discord, are driving one another into opposite extremes, so making the way plain for Roman- ism on the one hun I and infidelity on the other. You may be sure that Romanism and unbelief are the great gainers by all our unhappy divisions." • UNFERMKNTKD WINE."—Dr A. J. Stephens, Q.C., has given an opinion as to the liability of a clergyman for- bidden by the Bishop of Lincoln to administer the Holy Communion in unf^rmented wine. The questions sub- mitted were as follows:—1. Is there any law or canon which requires Hoiy Communion to be administered in the fermented juice of the grape ? 2. Is the administration in unfermented wine a breach of the law of the Church, as stated by the Bishop of Lincoln, or of the law of the land ? 3. Has the bishop of the diocese the power to prohibit the administering of the Holy Communion in unfermented wine ? 4. What penalty would the rector incur if he took no notice of the Bishop's prohibition and continued to use the unfermented juice of the grape ? 5. And generally on the position of the rector in the matter. Dr. Stephens points out that the substantial question must be determined on the use of the word "wine," which occurs ten times m the office for Holy Communion and twice in the Catechism. The fruit of the vine must be used, but neither in Scriptare nor in the Prayer Book is the nature of the wine accurately laid down. As a matter of doctrine it would seem indifferent, but if the Courts held the Bishop of Lincoln's view as to what constituted wine the rector would be liable to monition, and possibly to the bishop's costs. But he did not think that the question was so free from doubt as that the act of the rector in using unfermented wine can be legitimately stigmatised as scandaloHS and illegal.

gorttglt. GERMANY. The German papers express much satisfaction at the appointment of M. Waddington as French minister of foreign affairs. The gratification of the German pohticians and the dissatisfaction of Ultramontanes of all nationalities at the appoint- ment are derived from the same fact, namely, that the new minister, who is of English descent, is a staunch Protestant. SPAIN. The pope has sent to the Madrid Court his dis. pensation for the marriage of King Alfonso with his cousin, the Princess Marcedes. Queen Isabella, who endeavoured to prevent the granting of the dispensation, has takeu another mode of showing her anger at the approaching marriage by visiting, in Paris, Don Carlos, with whom she had not previously been on speaking terms. HOLLAND. The Dutch budget for 1878, as voted by the chambers, shows a deficit of 15,000,000 florins. The Government proposes, for covering the deficit and those of the preceding years, to contract a loan of from 40 to 50 millions of florins. The cause of these deficits is that the Government derives no longer any revenue from India.
THE WAR.
THE WAR. HORRIBLE SIGHTS AT PLEVNA. Active operations have been entirely or partially suspended by the severity of the weather. From Erzeroum, on Saturday, it was reported that the temperature was lower than it had been for fifty years. The Varna Railway and the Roumanian Railways are blocked up with suow, which lies deep everywhere in the Balkans A special cor- respondent of the Daily News:cm Saturday, tele- graphed from Bucharest that the snow was there lying from two to three feet deep, and wa& still falling. Railway trains were unable to rusa, and the Russians bad organized sledge service. The thermometer registered eighteen to twenty degrees of frest, and on Thursday night eleven aieo and thirty horses were frozen b death just outside the town. The Servians have achieved some further suc- cesses against the Turks in the neighbourhood of Nisch, having, as a preliminary to the attack in that place captured Prokopolje and Kursamlje. They have, moreover, gained possession of the works which protected the Stretchnia bridge, and destroyed the bridge, thus cutting of the Turkish communications between Nisch and the town of Leskowatz, on the road to PrisehtiDa. Babina- G-iava, north of Nieh, k also been taken by a turning movement, and occupied by them. On Monday the Servians captured Ak Palanka with the surrounding fortifications, after eight hours' fighting. Three Krupp guns and a large quantity of ammunition and provisions were also captured, The Servian losses are said to have been insig- nificant On thesameday Prince Milan inspected the. Servian army which is besieging Nisch, and the bombardment of that place was commenced in b is presence. The Turks nre p^rf^ctiti; th r.ropn.ra'ior.s for the deduce ol ilouuic-lia, auo. tl.o couuuu. I ation of the war forced upon them. The Ottoman j army within the Quadrilateral is bpiug rapidly drafted away into Roumelia by way of Varna, and it is estimated that Suleiman Pasha will obtain from I this source a force of 60 000 men to assist in the defence of Adrianople. At present, taking into account the detachments that are scattered here and there, the Porte probably has 170,000 or 180,000 tuen in the field, exclusive of the garrisons in the Quadrilateral. Military opinion se>; ms in- clined to believe that the main line of the Russian advance will be through the Etropol Baikans upon Sofia. Should Shakir be compelled to re- tire, the iuva ler would march along the southern side of the Balkans to Kenzaulik, thereby com- pelling the Turks to evacuate the Schipka. On that important pass being won, the Russian centre under the Czarewitcb would unite with the right under General Gourko for a ombined attack on Adrianople, leaving the task of masking the Quadri'ateral to General Tobleben and General Zimmerman. A special correspondent of the Daily ftew.i, who visited PlevDa immediately after its surrender. in a long telegram gives a painful account or the ( scenes which have been witnessed in the town since its occupation by the Russians Such ghastly horrors have hardly been paralleled since the days 1 of the Plague, in past centuries. When Oman Pacha attempted his sortie, he made no provision, it seems, for the sick and wounded in the place, of whom ihere were thousands and the RJssians did not at first attend to th. m. It was not until the morning of the third day that something was done. The dead were then separated from the living, with which they were crowded in small unventilated, pestilential rooms, and food was given to those who were still alive. Many, how ever, died while eating it. the effort being too great for their waning strength The removal of the dead was at once commenced, and was still going on, but with most inadequate means, only three ox carts and a score or so of men being em- ployed. The brutality with which the work was being performed is described as terrible to witness. 1 The Correspondent blames the Russians for beiue unprepared to deal with the sik and wounded whom they knew beforehand they would find in Plevna, and says that a month before the place fell proper officers should have been aDpointed to prepare everything for the care of the surrendered troops.
WAR ITEMS.
WAR ITEMS. The Servians hnve cap'ared Ak Polafika. The policy of Greece is to be determined by the atti- tude of England. The British fbet were to go to Voluna, a bay near Smyrna, on Thursday. The Sultan, on Sunday, reviewed the Civic Guard, numbering 40.(-00 men. The Czar arrived at St. Petersburg on Saturdav. and met with a hearty recep'ion. The Porte will hate completed the transport of tha army of the Balkans bv the 4*h of January. Suleiman Pa-na has been o dered to organise great lines of defence at the Baikans and Adrianople. Since the commencement of tbo war to the 20th inst., the Russians acknowledge a loss of 80,412 men. It is stated that the Russians compelled 2.000 wounded prisoners to walk through the snow írom Kars to roum. J Numerous assertions are beirg made in Constantinople of letigious chiefs accused cf conspiracy against the government. The German reply to the Porte's circular is said to be very courteous, thouph the German government declined, in the interest of peace, to interfere with Russia. There is no foundation for the statement in a Vienna paper that England made overtures to France with the view to an alliance, and that these had been declined. Osman Pasha is aid to ba at Simni'zi, his progress being interrupted by the c ndi<ioa of wound, which was aggravated by the journey from Bogot during a Itorm. The Thunderer is housed in with rain awnings in the repairing; basin at Portsmouth, where Rbe is expected to remain until the beginning of April next, sheuld nothing occur in the meantime to demand her presence in the Mediterranean. Nisch is reported to be completely surrounded by a large force of Servians. The nobility of St. Petersburg have presented an address to the Czar, expressing a hope that he may be enabled to terminate the war eloriously, His Majesty in reply expressed his sincere thaoks for their good wishes. j At Constantinople it is stated that the German am- bassador is believed to be urging the Porte to make a separate peace with Russia; but it is thought the Porte will wait the action of the English Parliament before coming to any decision, and will continue, at least till then, its warlike preparations. After the 6;st of January next The Standard wili not be admitted into Russia. Last summer the Pall-Mall Gazette was erased from the list of newspapers sanc- tioned by the censor, and the only two London daily papers remaining on the list for next year are the Times and the Daily Neios, both Russophile org-m-. The Turkish Vakit calls attention to the persistant i rumours of the British fleet coming to the Dardanelles. < It declares the Porte can only give the English Govern- ment the same answer as it has always given :—The fleet will be welcome as its av wed ally, but otherwise will not be required. The Vakit says that if England persists in demanding the entry of the fl et to the Dar- danelles the request must be regarded as denoting a com- plete change of English policy. The Per* correspomdent of the Times states on fair authority" that the Sultan has declared that the Porte would be prepared, if necessary, to concede to Russia the free passape of the Dard ine!los, but for the opposition of I England. It is b dieved in Constantinople that the English Ambassador used language calculated to en- courage Turkey in resistance to Russia's demand, nod to inspire the hope that if Turkey continues tte war ra'her than concede the free passage of the Dardanelles, Eng- land will sooner or liter join her in resisting Russia.

The colonists of Queensland are complaining at the depredations caused by large flocks of kangaroos which are overrunning the settled distriers in the interior and destroying the crops and vegetation of all kinds. The ravages of these marsupials,, combined with the havoc wrought, by the rabbits^ which have increased to so alarming an extent in nearly all the Australian, colonies, are causing serious losses to the farmers and cattle raisers. The inroads of the kangaroos are partly attributed to the droaght which has prevailed in the interior of Australia, and which has driven these animals to seek food in the settled districts. Large expeditions are orgarn&ed with the object of destroying and driving off the undesirable visitors, and as ma»y as a thousand kangaroos have been kilSed in a single day,. The skins are sold and mide into leather of an excellent quality.

He walked out daily, but on the fortieth day drank too much cold water and became s) weak that he was obliged to give np his experiment. The facts are vouched for bv an associate physician, who observed the case critically. The doctor lost eighteen pounds in weight during bis voluntary fast, but he remained in good health until he caught cold.

At Tipton Police-court, on Monday, the Hon. Her.rv Bruce Ogdvy, was charged with assaul-insj a Mr Rice and a railway porter on the previous evening. The deftnr'ant was abusing his wife in a first-cla a railway c-irriaze at Sm-thwick, and she appealed to the com- plainants for protection. When they interfered the de- fendant knocked them down.

In the event of the statement being true-,tnd it meets with general credence m Sheffield— the action of the company will have a very depressing effect in Yorkshire, Staffordshire, and South Wales. It has been customary at Csrd ff for the miyor to give a donation of £ 50 to the local infirmary during his term of office. The gentleman who held the position of mayor last year, Alderman Elli-jtt, has refused to follow this cus'om, because his expenditure in b's official capacity was XS,9 above his saUry of £300. The com- mittee of the infiimary are not satisfied with this explanation, and insist upon the donation as a right, saying that the salary was triven on the tacit understand- ing that the sum in question sbou.d be piid to them. Further measures are threatened. A few days ago a letter-boy at Worksop bought a half- penny fancy box, in which was a coan-erfeit c > n repre- senting a half guinea.
