Foxes invite o poachers, though sail poachers tbem >eJves, and liie farme;V lien, oosts may be heavily faxed for their support. But there is usually compensa- tion forthcoming- And in many parts of Eng. i land s cb losses are regarded as one of the iu- ) separable iuciJents of Coanlry life, and are I borne with smiling equanituitv. It is chiefly fur the sake of the high qualities which it de. velops that bunting is valued by thos- whø do aot bunt themselves. M ny of the qualities of i to t a good soldier are called into requisition in the } hunting freld. That mixture of personal fear- j lessnesS w.Jtlf constant vigilance and self pos- j session the rp.pidrt^ ot calculation necessary to i determine in a moment f best course to tnke; the dose observation of the intmal's habits, which enables a man after some eijfejfaftee to judge what be is likely to do under any Circum. staLces or conditionb; and last, but not hast. the quicknoss of aiahf, the muscular vigour, and the bodily hardihood which are all required to make a first rate fox hunter, are, we think it will be gTaiited, no unimportant items in the composition of a first rate soldier. Good riding is, of course, very necessity also, though it is a remarkable fact that fbe Duke of Wellington was act considered a good ridet, and that he seldom appeared in the Hampshire betating- field mounted on a really good horse. How- ever there is no doubt of the opinion entertained by the great duke as to the value of fox hunt- ing in the development of military qualities.

j TUB WAa. r THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR. The defeat of the Hus^ai.s before Ktzeroum j shows the military virtues of the Turks in an even brighte aspect than has been exhibited in in any operation which has hitherto taken plac;; | during the present war. Tbere b scarcely any record, in fa':t we do not recall a single exam- ■ pie. of ene'.ny totally defeated. with the loss of irs artillery and the greater portion of its stoies, ftl. ly.ng so far a* tr; deleat its victorious enemy only a lew days Mb-equcilt to thi»ffreat disas.er. So improbable did such "at ev nt p- pear that un Friday the tall 01 Krzrvoum was considered to U. practically a tail uccompli f We poiuteu out. however, that the UusMaus had allowed the fa/curable moment to slip by. Ah aitack on the fJtll would have been UH- doubtedlv successful bur the Russians ha al- ready delayed two day, and tiiat delay, we considered was sultu-ieut t secur* tlio safety of Erzeroum. fla-h as such an assertion may have been, it was fullv justified by the event. On the 9th the Russians made their assault, and were not only repuhed with grea loss, but the Turks sjahied out and drove them back as far as Deve Boyuu. Whether they rec p tured that extremely strong position is as yet uncertain, but if they have done so the vict ory i- of tkn greatest importance. An eye-wituess of the battle in which the Turks were defeated described the position as being impregna1 le against open attack. The Russians sueceeded by marchiutj thtii men close up to the pass at night, concealing them among the rocks, and tempting the Turks from their positions by a i disptay ot cavalry. The Turks fell iuto the trap, were taken by surprise, shot down in ) numbers, and the Russians, following fast upon ] them in their retreat, entered' the positions with them, and a complete and general rout I followed. The correspondent telegraphing on the 6th, stated that the defeat was utter and irremediable, and that the fall of Krzcroum was imminent. This information adds to the t-reditwhich is due alike to the Turkish Com- mander in Chief, his officers and men, that they should have recovered their morale, and have been on the 9th aole to inflict a crushing defeat upon their assailants. That the victor is as complete as Moukbtar Pacha asserts it to be may be assumed as a tact, since the same eye- witness who, on the 6th telegraphed that Erze- roum must fall, sends a confirmatory desprtch, stating that Moukhtar Pacha has gained a great victory, and has driven the RussIans back upon Deve Boyun. The war in Armenia has been so pregnant of surprises that it would be rash to look upon any future event as a cer- tainty. It would be, however, an even greater surprise than any which has preceded it should the Russians now recapture Erzeroum before the arrival of winter. It will be aeen that the Run au general in his official despatch aecribes his delay ip following up bia victory to the ad • rent of rain, followed by enow. Fifteen thou.

OSMAN PASHA'S POSITION A^ pMjXNA. Writiug from Bucharest 011 November 7,| the I special correspondent of the Times sayc '— Scarcely a day passes without the allied luies being driwu tighter at some point, «nd the epaee occtipJed bj Pasha's army is gradually (fimimshing Un'der this process of virtual straugn- | 1 ,tion. It is sauiewbat difficult to recoucib Osman's energy ro constructing new fortifications I with nia ailppbsfd pufpose of breaking through the hostile hnes, atttl as his provisions are cer- tainly limited, ne must sufrender or make a dash out soon, since there is uo hojjh of h's gettiug any more supplies through the investing girdle. His looses are estimated at from 200 to 300 th"u per day from the projectiles of various kinds. The lifted lines, on the other hand, are growing strongeV etfery hour, and consequently every day lessens OsmkiVs ffbauces of a successful, or parti- I ally successful sor^e?' eo that his new fortifica- tioos would rather indV<J%rt« a purpose of resisting to the last. and then surrer.&^j* his remaining fores. If he has six weeks' proW$ffryff, the allies should have their line absolutely by that time, so that the situation has twcJ or possibilities. First, Oaman may be short or supplies already, and attempt his escape within the next week or ten days; aecondly. he may intend surrendering when be has exhausted his piovisions and inflicted all tbe damage be oan upon his etreiny< The new earthworks would lead to the suppose ioa thut the latter course has been decided upon. Hatd Osimu bceu a great ..fTt^ral. h* would have b»in?e)f from ( hi" prcs^nWrsp before the toils closed around him. H»« moment of Httftck w^s .Then the allied forces were nmring by their flank*, and before they had taken their positions and covered them- hope of being rescued by an outside force, his selves by fortifications.

The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Tele- i;r,iph writes, under daite' Monday nightA telegram froin Constantinople announces that « ha" tie took place at Plevna, but gives tfo details, Probably there was no serious operation entered upon. As yet the Russians aie not ready for all assault. Osmau Pasha's position cannot be so despera'e that he need uial-e a premature attempt to force the iiue of investment. The number 01 troops composing the garrison of the besieged stronghold is uncertain, The provisious and am- munition stored, we are told, in every uninhabited building in the town, are estimated by sumo as sufficient far 10 days, while others asse t there is an ample supply for three or four mouths. The last authentic information from Plevn-i was dated toe lothcf last mouth. At that date several thousand oxen-Waggons had .arr;ved, laden with provisions and ammunition, aud were to return at once with hick and wouuded. The removal of the hlter was to be completed by the 20th and, as Gorny Dudnik was only captured by the Russians on the 24th, it is likely to have been effected without interruption. While the Rus- siaus are hurriedly fortifying the positions already captured, aud Osman Pasha is either awaiting a fresh attack or planning a safe retreat, reinforce- meats are arriving daily at Sofia and Orklianio from Bosnia, the frontie s of Montenegro, and Greece also from Coustantiuople. Much may be expected from this army when placed under the command of Mehemet Ali. The detachments now quartered at Rahova and Br..ca will certainly nut remaiu idle, and those statioucd at Trojan and Teteven will, it is supposed, take the direc- tion of Loftcha and Selvi, while the troops under Baouf Pasha operate in the Shipka aud Iladkoi Passes. The latest uews from Shutnla proves that Suleiman Pasha, too, is on the move. Thus ou Friday four distinct reconnaissances were pushed agaiust the enemy's positions."

THE DUTY OF POOR LA W GUARDIANS WITH REGARD TO THE EDUCATION ACT. The Rev. W. D. Parish, vicar of Kelmeston, read a paper on this subject at a Poor Law Con- ference held at Guildford 00 Tuesday, October 30. With regard to school attendance com- mittees, he said that the duties ot guardians, ranged themselves under two heads—viz. (I) the duty of the whole board, and (2) the duty of those members who Were elected on the school attendance committee. Now the firat duty of the guardians wa.¡ to appoiut annually a school attendance committee (section 7); hut, though this was plainly duty, he found nothing in the Act which compelled them to make this appoint- ment, and 110 such provisiou for default of duty on the part of guardians as was lD"de in the case of the school attendance committee (section 27 b). The appoiutmcnt was to be made annually but, as the guardians had practically the power of dissolving the committee whenever they pleased (section 32), it did Dot much matter whether it was appointed for one year or three. Section 7 provided that the committee should consist of oat less than six nor more than twelve members of the boar>i, one-third, at least, of thid number to be ez.o.Ilcio guardians. He would ask them to not ce the fact that the members of the school attendance committee might be aU u- officio guardians but might not be all elected guardians. The next thing he would observe wtth regard to the duty of the whole board was that the guardians might, from time to time, add to or diminish the number of members of the committee (section 32); but it was provided that DO alteration must increase the number beyond twelve, or "diminish it below six. They would "ee how completely the school attendance com- mittee was placed at the mercy of the board of guardians by this provision of the Act; for it enabled them to remove any member atp*ea*ure, and rearrange the committee as often as they pleased. Section 40 provided that iu the case of persons receiving out-door relief by weekly or continual payments-to the exclusion, as it aeeined to him, of c-ises of relief iu emergencies —the guardians were to give, in additipu to the aed- ssary wit-door reiief, as much more as might be neces^ry'ltr 'htf'payment of the school fees atjiby PHolVc elementaly ^chi»dl'which the parent .might e £ <tiig &5(, "p^i^'W&rk for eacti child ./(section Jo)., ,Hg thought that the; liberty thereby accota&j to the oareut to sei^cti 'the »ehool'tx* which "his. chiM t>Ðuutfi, be seMtwasi j a iliost ictil^o^ta'lit rtu&J* and should be most care- pr ott}Ctj{d, !B^t'jU'-i^e satne time' hfe wdul'dj !|. r».commeud that pKo.nismi tjhould lie "jade that -a change• of schuuivshould not be .too frequently • allowed.

But there was at otner j class of relief which the guardians would not I gi-dUL with anything like the same satisfaction, although it might be no les* necessary. He meant the reiki which they were to give, wben I ecessary, to a parent to enable him to pay for a ] ie eost of a chi'd or any number of children who m< light be sent by-a magistrate's order to R day io- ids ustrial school (section 16, 3). The clauses of ue Act which referred to these schools were in ricate and difficult. Ai to the officer* of tbe chool attendance committee, it was not every mi ne who was adapted for the situation.

THE SAD HEATH OF A LADY AT CUi-1 MAHTHEN. On Saturday afternoon Mr John Hughes, borough coroner, and a respectable jury held an inquest at the resideuce of Mrs Phillips, sadb r, Lammas-street, Carmarthen, on view of the body of Mrs Sarah Anue Price, widow of the 'ate Mr John Lloyd Price, of Cast'epiggin, Abergwili. A lady oompanion of the deceased and a domestic servant, being examined, deposed that about 9.30 p. m. on the previous niebt they beard a crash of broken plass and a noise in the street.. On going out they found that deceased had fallen from ber be Iroom wiadow, an upper storey, a height of about 24 feet, into the public street. The de-1 ceased was then bleeding from the hand aud the mouth. She h"d taken her dinner and tea that evening, as usual, and they obse, wed nothing ex traordinsry about her. Mrs Thomas, wife of John Thomas, watch-maker, living opposite, said the saw Mrs Price at her bedroom window, which WHS open, leaning out towards the street, shortly after nine. and she was in that position several in nn'ei. Witness returned to the house and soon heard a crush, and, on going out, found that Mrs Price had falleu. Several witnesses who were present said Mrs Price was iustantaueouslv killed by the fall. Mr James Rowlands, medical attendant of the deceased, eaid she had been bable to fits of great depression, and was suffer- ing from the effects of paralysis, wtich bad pro- duced mental debility. Immediately after the accident he saw her. Her skull was crushed and she was quite dead. A verdiot in accordance with the facts was returned. THE RAID ON CARMARTHEN PUBLI CANS. The Carmarthen county police have made an extensive raid upon the publicans of the district. On Saturday no fewer than 30 p>iblio-house keepers were summoned at the connty petty sessions, for having in their possession, wherewith to retail beer, defective measure*, the same oot being according to the standard of tbe Exche- quer. A peualty of I Os and costs was inflicted. The proceedings were taken under the Weights and Measured Act, 5 and 6 William IV., which makes the offender liable to any penalty not ex- ceeding £5, when (a8 in the above oases) beer is sold in measures purporting to be pints or quarts, which are found to be deficient in com- parison with the standard. The clerk (Mr Geo. Spurrell) also called attention to tbe 8th section of the Licensing Act of 1872, which provides that if intoxicating liquor 's sold by retail, and not in a cask or bottle, and ia not sold in quantities less than half-pints, it shall be in measures marked according to the Imperial standard, and the penalty for the first offence under this section shall be a sum not exceeding £10.

LOCAL TAXATION. The annual report «'f the Local Taxation Com- uiitee which has just been issued, supplies a very ri 'pportoue commentary on that portion of Mr kigbt'» speech at Kocbdale in which he charges he prespul (iovernment with favouring pAr- icular classes at the expense of the community at arge. Mr Bright conveniently forgets that the mthority fur all which the Government has done 11 the matter of loeal taxation wan that, of a Liberal tfonse of Commons which in 1872 carried Sir Massey Lopes's motion against the late Govern- ncut by a majority of a hundred. Had the Conservative Government entertained no views of its own on the subject of local taxation, it could hardly have afforded to neglect this emphatic declaration of opioion, supported as it was by both parties in the House. But the injustice which it recognised was far too flagrant to be treated T'th indifference hy any hut by those who had a direct mterestjin maintaining it. That an ex- penditure of between forty and fifty millions, by which all classes in the community and every kind of property alike benefited, ubould be borne exclusively hy thff holders of real property is too aiowstrous a proposition to stand the test of a ■uotrwit's impartial scrutiny. Some flimsy vindi- cation of it was attempted by the late Govern- mentand' bya few financiers wh:, bad mystified themselves WliI, trgum aiitil they wete beyond the rtMoh of common sense. But no plain mall with the most ordinary eapaeity for business could fail to see that to ntabe the owner of a house or a farm pay hia own-aba re of local expa^se^ and the landholder's share torvwas a pilpabl'e lnj- cpiity which nothing eould jc^riy. It had its origin in daY3 Aihen both the penonal propeity of the country and the amount levied io rates were infinitely Ics than they "re now. Kbt, «ince-that date, while the ratea have prodigiously increased, the p»c»p«>rtion of real property to peat&nal has enormoust'y declined.

He laid the ring and diamonds on the table before bim and there Bexfc appeared a wonderful cluster of rubies, set with a large ruby about balf-ao-incb in diameter in the centre.

Last there came a cross, abont four inches in length, having twenty mag- nificent diamonds set in it; this we held in otir haods, aud examined as closely as we hked, Joey took tbem all and put them in a paper and jingled them. He said, I might leave the ring » a keepsake for Willie, but it might make him sel- bsb." He told us that the market value of the gems was £25,000. He remarked, I could make Willie the richest man in the world but it would not be the best thing, and might he the worst." He now took the jewels in front of him, and seemed to dissipate them as oue might melt hail- s ones iu heat, until they eutirely disappeared.— Spiritwilitt.

Dancing, which wae to form part of the evening's entertainment' was right and good,, provided slwaye it was kept within proper bounds. (Applause.) He was not one ot those who considered dancing a damning sin, and it waaaU nonsense to way that people must of neeeesity be going to the devil if they indulged in that pastime. (Applause.) He had dnnced himself at her Majesty's gathering at Dee-si te, but he was now too heavy for the exer- cise-^ laughter)—and besides, members of Presbytery were expected ne\er to lift their feet too high or too quickly, but to move thrdngh the world with becoming giavity and solemnity. (Laughter.) He was not sure hut it would be a useful thing for members of Prtsbytery to indulge in tripping the light fantastic loe. (Lond laugh- ter.) Some of them who had large stipends, and consequently heavy corporations, might not he I able to exhibit all the beanties of m'otion-(lltujZ;h- ter)—but it might be a much hftter exercise for them than snarling at each other as they sortie- times 1id in Presbytery meetings.
