ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS.—The public are informed these celebrated plasters have been established 27 years. Patented U.S. 1845. It is supposed and claimed they restore the electrical condition of the part where applied, by which pain and diseased actions cease. But we really know little on this subject, because the properities of medicinal agents can only be known by experience, and this had taught that whenever Allcock's Porous Plasters are applied they do good, often restoring the withered hand, removing the unsightly lump, lengthening the shorter leg, and restoring the lame to walk. But read our testimonials, and if you have a week spot in your body, try a plaster; the cost is small, being twenty-seven half-pence only. No doubt they impart all the electricity of galvanism to the system needed. We believe this, because they have made greater cures than were ever achieved by the most costly applications. Where one was sold a year ago a thousand are sold now. They strengthen, warm, and invigorate the part upon which they are applied, and relieve nervous affections of the bowels, lumbago, pains of the side, and usually all local pains. In affections of the kidneys they are of great service. LUMBAGO. L Manor-road, Folkestone, July 6th, 1872. To Messrs. Alloock & Co., Liverpool. "Gentlemen—Some months ago I suffered severely from lumbago, and could not walk without much pain and difficulty. One day I met a friend, General-,who advised me to try one of Allcock's Porous Plasters, adding, 11 have one on me at this moment, which has wholly removed an affection similar to the one from which you are suffering.' I had really never before heard of the plasters, but was so struck with what I heard.that I immediately procured one and put it on. I found almost instantaneous relief; the pain and stiffness were gone in an hour, and have never since returned. 1 may add that several friends including an eminent physician, laughed at my account of my cure more than one of them however, including that physician, have owned to me since, that, in consequence of my state- ment, they have resorted to Allcock's Porous Plasters, when Buffering in various ways, and have in every instance found relief. A lady of my acquaintance, who heard from me of these plasters, has tried them with wonderful effect among the suffering poor. She finds the demand tor them so great that she wrote to you to ask at what rate you could supply her with plasters for the poor. In answering her question you kindly sent her a supply for gratuitous distribution. To thank you in my own name, and in behalf of my friends and of the poor, I feel it a duty and a pleasure to send you these few lines, of which you may make any use you please. U J. H. WOODWARD." A LLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS. gCIATICA. Heywood, October 9th, 1871. Henry D. Brandreth, 57, Great Charlotte-st., Liverpool. Dear Sir,-The Plasters seem to produce wonderful results. There is scarcely a day passes but some one is telling me of the cures they are making. Rheumatism in various parts of the body disappears as if by magic. Only on Saturday last Mr. Jacob Heywood, Aibert-terrace, Starkey-at., Heywood, informed me that he had been troubled with sciatica for three Jjears; so bad was it the last twelve manias of that time that iiy w uzisbie to follow his employment. He had tried many doctors, been to Matlock, and spent £ 2 on a largely-advertised electric-chain belt, but all to no purpose; at last he tried Allcock's Plasters. Two entirely cured him. Yours truly, W. BECKETT. A LLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS. RHEUMATISM OF THE WRIST. Henry D. Brandreth, Esq., 57, Great Charlotte- st., Liverpool. 36, Crown-st., Liverpool, Nov. 21st, 1871. Dear Sir,—Three months since I could not use my right hand, owing to rheumatism in it and in my wrist, and over ten weeks was in great pain-unable to find any relief. After trying many remedies, I was at last pursuaded to try Allcock's Porous Plasters. I bound one round my wrist; in three days I had great relief, and in a week's time was perfectly cured. Yours truly, THOMAS DAVIES. A LLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS. LETTER FROM THE REV. THOMAS BONSALL, M.A., As to qualities and reputation of Brandreth's Pills, and Allcock's Porous Plasters. Wissett Vicarage, near Halesworth, Suffolk, „ July 29th, 1872. H. D. Brandreth, Esq., Liverpool. My dear sir,-Please forward me some Brandreth's Pills and Porcus Plasters to amount of inclosure. I may here state I have been in the habit for the last 37 years of administering these remedies to the sick with great success. I have been well acquainted wfth Dr. B. Brandreth, of New York, for nearly 40 years, and can certify that he gives constant employment to upwards of 100 persons preparing these commodities alone. Brandreth's Pills and Allcock's Porous Plasters are the household remedies of nearly every family in the United States and throughout South America. We all know that many persons take medicine when they do not need it. It is therefore of importance that the medicine should be incapable of hurting. Now, I know Brandreth's Pills to be perfectly harm- less, from long experience of their effects. Yet, when the bowels or the blood need cleansing, they are a thoroughly energetic medicine, arousing all the interior organs to healthy action. In colds, colics, and costiveness, they give relief immediately, and those who use them will find them a safe and most reliable remedy. -1 am, yours truly, THOMAS BONSALL, Late Curate of Linstead Magna and Parva, Suffolk. ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS are sold by Druggists, at Is. l^d. each, with full directions for use, or in any size to suit. The yard Plaster is specially recommended for families y and physicians. One yard equals 18 Plasters. Price 14s. per yard, 7s. 6d. per half yard, or 4s. per quarter. PRINCIPAL AGENCY FOR GREAT BRITAIN, (Wholesale and Retail): 57, GREAT CHARLOTTE-ST., LIVERPOOL. N.B.-A Plaster sent to any part of the country for 15 stamps. A FAIR SKIN AND LOVELY COMPLEXION insured by the use of MA D^D?TScSAULIK,G0UP.ELLE's EAU DE I" PARADIS, the only certain remedy for skin diseases yet brought before the public. It is largely prescribed and used by the faculty, an whilst it per- manently eradicates tan, sallowness, pimples, freckles small pox marks, roughness, and effectually removes discolonrations it is perfectly innocuous to the skin itself. One trial will conuvice the most sceptical of its marvellous effects. There are many unprincipled and trashy imitations of the above, and the public is therefore warned that none is genuine unless bearing the signature" Rosalie Coupelle," to imitate which is a forgery.

TO CORRESPONDENTS, &c. We beg to inform our readers that our columns are for the benefit of all, but at the same time we must remind them that we cannot undertake to insert any communication whatever unless authenticated by the real name and address of the writer; neither can we undertake to return manuscripts if rejected. Letters to the Editor ought to be in hand as early as possible in the week. We cannot guarantee their insertion if received later than Wednesday morning. J. E.-Your lines on "New Year's Eve" are very good, but too long for our paper. The piece would fill three-fourths of a column. LESTER.-For the same reason we must refuse your production. Our space being so limited, letters and poetry must be as brief as possible.
LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS.
LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS. LLANGOLLEN. FAIR.—Our Christmas fair was held on Tuesday last, when there was but a scanty show of both horses and cattle, and few of which were sold. Pigs, which were numerous, met with a slow demand, and with low prices. There were but few sheep exhibited for sale, all of which were sold. CHRISTMAS CHEER.-Our worthy vicar has been distributing a goodly number of tickets to the poor of the town and neighbourhood, by means of which many a needy person obtained goods at the shops. The funds were obtained from the offertoryvat the parish church. We are glad to learn that G. LI. Dickin, Esq., of Ty'ndwr, has also given tickets of 5s. each to about 40 persons, by which they were supplied with goods at Mr. Lodwick's, Chapel-street. There may be other kind ladies and gentlemen in the town and vicinity, who may be engaged in the same chari- table work, but who have not happened to come under our notice. STREET LAMPS.—The glass has been broken on some of our street lamps; whether maliciously or accidentally, we are not aware. On windy nights, (which now are often,) it is of no use lighting the said lamps, and thus some parts of the town are left in darkness. As the cost of placing new panes will be but trifling, will the proper officials see to the matter at once, and remedy the evil. NEW AND OLD LONDON.—We have just read the first number of this interesting work, published by Messrs. Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, London, and must say that it is one of the most enticing accounts that we ever read. If our readers will but commence perusing it, we can almost assure them that they will be compelled, as it were by some irresistible magic, to wade through it. No doubt there will be an immense sale for the work not only in London, but throughout the kingdom. DEATH AND FUNERAL OF MR. JAMES WILLIAMS. -The above respected old gentleman did not long survive his wife, who died at Portmadoc, on the 28th of April last, at the advanced age of 75 years, and was buried at the Vron Cemetery, Af-tei, the death of his wife, Mr! .Williams came to reside at Llangollen, and took I a relative ai. 111 tlw» tewji- -as housekeeper But it was quite evident that the loss of his old partner, with whom he had so long journeyed through the wilderness of this world, had considerably preyed upon his mind, inasmuch as his strong constitution began to give way in a very short time after her departure. Yet, he was able to go about till within a few days of his death. Mr. Williams had been very successful as farmggjp many years not far from Llanfi- hangel-cFlJ^Myfyr. Subsequently some years ago, he entered into partnership with the late Mr. Robert Evans, grocer and flannel-manufacturer. After the death of Mr. Evans, he went to reside at Portmadoc, where he had several relatives and, as stated above, on the death of Mrs. Williams he returned to Llangollen to spend the remainder of his days. It may be said without hesitation that Mr. Williams was an "Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile." He was a faithful deacon with the Independents, at which chapel his loss will be keenly felt. During his short illness, he rested his soul upon the Atonement, and found joy in believing; and on Thursday evening, the 26th ult., his happy spirit entered the rest of the people of God. He was 75 years of age. At 2 o'clock, on Monday, a large number of the inhabitants of the town and country assembled together to follow his mortal remains to the Vron Cemetery, to await a glorious resur- rection. The Rev. Evan Evans officiated at the house, and Mr. Hugh Jones and the Rev. John Morris at the grave. NEW YEAR'S DAY.-A little before mid-night on Tuesday, the bells of the parish church sent forth a merry peal in honour of the year 1873 which was fast approaching. They were rung at intervals for two hours. The band of the Llangollen Volunteer Corps in the same manner amused the wide-awake, and startled the sleeping portion of the town folks. The day opened brilliantly, and it is to be hoped that it will prove an omen of better weather during the year. The shops being closed, the children of the town were sadly disappointed for calenig." We wish all our readers a happy and prosperous new year. MR. RICHARDS, INLAND REVENUE OFFICER.—We understand that Mr. Richards has left our town since Wednesday morning, for Chester, and, as it was his own desire to leave, we hope he will never have cause to regret. We believe that Mr. Richards deserves credit of having discharged his duties as one of Her Majesty's public officers with great satisfaction. He has, to the best of his ability, endeavoured to do that which was right, without standing the least fear or favour. The district has lost in Mr. R^hards's removal an active and useful member of society, and one who has rendered great service to the cause of education. TREAT TO WORKMEN.—On New-year's-eve, Messrs. Tanqueray and Co., according to their liberal custom, treated all their employers to a splendid supper at Mrs. Allen's. We need not say that all the preparations reflected great credit on the catering ability of "mine hostess." FOOTBALL MATCH. — LLANGOLLEN V. RUABON ROVERS.—This match was played on Thursday, Dec. 26th, and as the weather was very propitious a large number assembled in order to witness the match. The Ruabon Rovers won the toss for choice of goals and took the higher one, which gave them a little advantage over the others. The ball was kicked off for Llangollen by Mr. W. H. Richards, and being well backed up on the part of the Llangollen players, the Ruabon Rovers were obliged to touch the ball down; after this they acted on the defensive for some time, a goal being almost obtained from a good kick by P. Richards, the ball unfortunately going over the goal post. For a time before goals were changed the ball was kept in the middle of the ground, and some good runs were made on both sides, but each proved unsuccessful, as the ball was sent back into the middle by the back players on each side. At half-time goals were changed, the ball being kicked off for the Ruabon Rovers by Mr. G. F. Thomson. From this I time till the end of the game no side was able to I obtain a goal, and thus the match ended in a draw. For the Llangollenites Messrs. Humphreys and Edwards played back well, and Messrs. Frazer and Poole for the forwards. For the Ruabon players the Messrs. Kenrick played well forward, and Mr. G. F. Thomson made a good half-back. The following is a list of the teams, but some of the Ruabon ones we were unable to get:—Llan- gollen:-A. C.Tanqueray (captain), H. Humphreys, H. D. Morgan, F. and E. Edwards, S. Bull, S. C. Smith, W. H., T. S., R. S., and P. Richards, J. Allen, A. Frazer and F. Poole. Ruabon :-—&. H. Whalley (captain), G. and D. Thomson, B. and L. Kenrick, Dr. Grey, J. Tomkins, J. Jones, E. Edwards, &c. The return match will be played in the end of the month. BRIDGE.—Large blocks of Cefn free stone are now being conveyed by canal towards widening the bridge. The work will be commenced as soon as the state of the river and weather will admit. CHRISTMAS BOXES.—Perhaps at this season of the year it may not occur to those who receive Christmas cards and letters through the post that, although those who are entrusted with the delivery of letters, &c., are prohibited by govern- ment from asking for Christmas boxes, the order does not prohibit the acceptance of such favours from a considerate and generous public. FORTNIGHTLY MEETINGS.-On Friday evening, December 27th, the seventh of this year's series of the above meetings was held in the Assembly Rooms, Llangollen. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. Griffith (Gohebydd), and S. G. Fell, Esq., Rev. O. Davies, Rev. E. Evans, Rev. J. Evans, and the Rev. J. Morris, were also on the platform. The following programme was gone through in a very creditable manner:—Song and chorus, A brighter day," Glan'rafon school children read- ing, Y cobler a'r banker," Mr. D. Jones, Trevor; song and chorus, "Am dipyn o hwyl," Mr. R. Francis and party; reading, "Chwedl yr hen lew a'r ieuanc," Mr. R.
