DOING IT BY DEGREES. When Lord Muskerry snik-d to Nowfomiuiaiul, George Rook went with him us a volunteer, George was greatly addicted to lyin^, r,nd my lord, being very sensible of it, and very familial with Georire, said to iiim one day I w-.mder you will not leave off tho abouaina>u custom of lying, George." "I can't lit'lp it," says (ho other. ««Pooh 1 says my lord, "It may ho done by degrees. Suppojo you were to bey in by uitoxin" •me irutli a day." °

COI'T,T) 'INOT IITN.T, .3 us t ice—"l ousay that the prisoiscr throw stones at you? Witness—"Yes, sir. lie threw over a dozep at rue." '•Did any of them hltvou?" No, sir, I dodged them." How far was the prisoucr from you tlireiv "Ahoui twenty fc-et" And do you mean to ny that the prisoner throw a dozen stones at you at a distance of twenty feet and did not hit you?" Yes, sir. You see I am a base ball umpire and am used to dodging." li Yes, I see: I thought there was some reason for your not being hit."

A DAYLIGHT BURGLARY. 0, Btirgleii, 1 gasped as she entered the tacti-ce, f\;IIrn at police licadquai-ters the other lay. «• When*" "Two hrttfO ago I And right before my eyes "P:e;ise get your breath, ma am, and give us the I \rell, sir." said she, after a few gasps to get her voice, I was etandi:ig looking out of the win- (low. A roughly dressed fellow came across the street and opened the gate. I knew lie was a burg- lar the muin 'nt I saw him, and I kept my eyes open. lIe looked up and down tile streetand around the house, and tlien- then, sir, he—! "Wasn't the front door locke(I "Oh, yes." "Then how did he get in?" lie didn't get in, sir, but he grabbed my png log off the doorstep and was gone before 1 could I jet down stairs."

A GREAT CHANGE. I The other day a young mlln came down from tho Saginaw Valley and said to the policeman at I I've .'I'jO'ua. Jii CUSii J. -1 and I'm bound to have a good time. Well, look out for results," cautioned tho officer. "Oh, I'm no chicken, responded the young man. and off he started. About midnight he was brought to the Wood. bridge Street Station, with a black eye, a bitten jut an d a generally forlorn look up and down and across linn. The onicer recognised him and said: Aren't you the man with 30 dols. in cash and 300 dols. worth of enthusiasm?" U I-I was the man," he answered, "but there has been a great change. You can now refer to me as the person with no cash, no enthusiasm, but a heap of experience. Say how did this thing come about, anyway ?"

PREACHING AND PRACTICE. An aged couple are very fond of draughts, and play quite frequently. When lie beats her at the game site loses her temper and declares she will not play again. It vexes him to have her act so, but he" controls the irritation, and talks to her about it. lie tells her how wrong it is for people at their age in life to be disturbed by such triiles, (111(1 shows her so clearly the folly of such a course that she becomes ftslianud of lier ivr-,i-icness, and returns to the game, liml piays it so well that sho beats him. He throws the draughts in one direc- tion, and kicks the board in another, and says he will never play with anybody who cheats 80 fear. fully, and stalks moodily to bed, and leaves her to pick up the tilings.

FOUR-YEAR OLD'S CONCLUSION. Mr. S. M is proprietor of a clothing store at Macon, G a. His little son Max, 9 years old, returned home the other day from his first attendance at Sunday School and showed his father a book. "What kind of a book is that, Max?" "That's a Sunday school book." Mr. M. ishaking his head)—"My boy, you don't iearn business from that kind of book. You had better study books of what happens from Monday tn Saturday. Sunday book studying won't bring business." "Oh. papa! You always taik of business and business! Go on and ask me a question out of this book." To please the child Mr. S. M. opened the book. His eyes happened on this passage: "What did Eellu sell?" and he read it as a question. The boy was posed and couldn t answer. A younger brother, 4 years old, inquired: Papa, was Esau a Hebrew?" I I C,,rti,,Iy he was; all the people were in those days." co Then," said 4-year old, "Ireckon hewldsome second-hand clothing."

ITS CHEAPNESS RECOMMENDS IT. A Main street girl told her young man that she would never marry until he was worth 10,000dols. So be started out with a brave heart to make it How are you getting on, George ?" she asked at the expiration of a couple of months, ••Well," said George hopefully, "I have saved 22 dols." The girl dropped her eyelashes and bluslungiy remarked, "I reckon that's nearly enough, George we arc both of age, and a license will only cost tfty cents,"

RATHER WAIT. A gool story is told ?f a nobleman by no melins celebrated for the skill ot "teadiness of hisfour-in- I liand driving. Some ladies went to the booking office and asked if Lord was going todiics that day. The man in attendance answered ••No; he is awny for a few days; adding, At you want the front seats, they are taken for^ to- morrow, so you had better secure them at once. The ladies answered: No; we would rather wait, and go when Lorn M Very weU, ma'am,"said the man, iw*t as you like He will be back in a few days, and you can then have places but if you want your necks broken, I can do it just as neatly for you as Lord can."

HOW THE CONGREGATION PERISHED. 61 They tell me you have a loug-winded divine in your pulpit now." II IHdeed we have, sir, A gentleman of the cloth that lost his last sit by hie over-longevity ot speech." "You don't say sol How was that?" "Well, you see he had wagered with an old sport jn his vestry that he couldn't preach three hours on a stretch, and sir, he w »t at it and literally talked the tailing off the chance!. He was getting on jint-ly, when suddenly lie turned pale and came to dead halt—" "Had his time exptredl" "No,. but Ide congregation had.'

DENBIGH. BI-MONTHLY COUNTY COURT. Tuesdav.—Before his Honour Judge Horatio Lloyl. There was very little business before the court, there being only 12 judgment summonses and one defended case. The undffendlod cases were taken by the registrar, Mr T Gold Edwards. A hilYL CASE. Mr Hugh Rowlands, Ihn\lr, applied for costs on the higher scale in the case of W D Hughes nga'ost Roberts, which, owing to perjury being committed at the first hearing, was tri^d before a jury, a verdict being given for plaintifl. —Mr Alun Lloyd objected, and after some dis- cussion his Honocr refused the application, re- marking that the case was not of itself of sufficient public interest for him to grant costs. SHEEP WORRYING CASE. Elizabeth Clayton, Llansaanan, was sued by Edward Foulkes, Coediog, Llansannan, for £ 1 16s 6d, the value of three lambs which had, it was alleged, been worried by defendant's dug-- 1 Mr Alun Lloyd appeared for I)lai utiff. -Pli in tiff said that on the second Tuesday in April be proceeded to Denbigh fair, and on the road passed a field in which he had some sheep. He saw that they had been disturbed, and on going into the field itaw a dog worrying a lamb. It was a black dog with a white mirk on its nose. He found that,the atimal belonged to defendant. He saw 'I it kill another lamb, and his son found another worried. He had lust no iambs since the dug had been chained up. Defendant's son was called I and denied that his dog had killwd the lambs.— His Honour said it was clear that defendant's dog bad killed the lambs, and gave judgement for plaintiff for £ 1.

ROYAL VISIT TO DENBIGH IN AUGUST, 1803. On Sunday evening, his Royal Highness Prince William Frederick arl ived at Lieweny Hall, the seat of the Right Hon Lord Viscount Kirkwall, where his Royal Highness was enter- tained with the most splendid hospitality. On the following morning, the Aldermen, Bailiffs, and capita! Bu; g^sses of the Borough of Denbigh, attended by their inferior officers, went in pro- cession to Lleweny Hall, and presented the Prince rfth n jyMrpss • to which his Royal High- ness replied lu a speecti repine ,vu. .,1.: elegance. It is impossible to do justice to the terms, in which the Prince delivered himself; suffice it therefore to say, that his reply com- pletely won the hearts of till who bad the honour of being present, and made an impression on the.r minds which can never be erased, The freedom of the Corporation was then, in a neat and ap- propriate speech, presented to his Royal Highness by the Recorder. The Prince received that mark of respect in a manner highly flattering to the members of the Body Corporate, assuring tnem, that he considered it an honour to be enrolled among the burgeases of the ancient and loyal borough of Denbigh. The above ceremony being conluded, the Prince withdrew, and the Body Corporate were ushered into a room, where they partook of a most sumptuous and elegant cold j collation, and wines of the choicest flavour At noon his Royal Highness reviewed the Volunteers of Denbigh and its vicinity, who were drawn out in the Town Parks, and consisted of a troop of cavalry, and upwards of 1,200 infantry. The appearance of so many Ancient Britons, all anxious to bear armii in defence of their King and country, collecting from a district of comparatively small extent, must have been grateful to every loyal beholder, and his Royal Highness was pleased to commend the soldier-like appearance of tbe men, and to express to their commanders, Lord Viscount Kirkwall, and Richard Willdiug, Esq., his entire satisfaction at their behaviour on the occasion.

« DENBIGHSHIRE ELECTION, 1826. From a Newspaper of the period. DENBIGH ELECTIONEERING. [From a Correspondent.] This celebrated contest, which will be handed down to posterity as a memorable example of the spirit, perseverance, and success, with which the liberties and independence of BBITCNS may be defended, by those who are truly devoted to the Constitution of their country, has terminated in a manner perfectly corresponding with the ardour which in every step of its progress ap- peared to actuate the parties opposed to each other. On Saturday morning, after polling for no less than TEN entire days, the parties met for the last time in battle array, WITH PRECISELY THE SAME JSUMBER ON THE POLL BOOK FOR EACH CANDIDATE, when the Counsel of Mr Trest buug out amfiag of truce, after the first tally from Mr Ablei t. had entered the box, proposing a double return as the best means of bringing all the merito of the contest to a constitutional termin- ation, before a Committee of the House of Com- mons. This proposal, after due consideration, was accepted, with the special condition, how- ever, that on the part of Mr Ablett, a number of RESIDENT BITRGKSSE8, made at Denbigh in OCTOBER last, should be allowed to tender their votes, and be subject to the same adjudi- cation with those already polled. In order to meet the probable effect of this arrang' ment on the oiher side, a number of Xon-re>idn.t Bur- gesses of all the Boroughs, but more especially Holt, were also allowed to be tendered, and after all had lwn thus concluded, the numbers actually polled, were declared to be For Mr Ablet 273 Mr West 273 Tendered for Mr Ablett r, 66 Mr West 51 Un which the Assessor announced that the contest had ended by a DOUBLE RETURN; and it was further proclaimed, greatly to the satis- faction of the Candidates themselves, and to all the reputable leaders on both sides, although evidently to the mortification of some Low ruffians who bad been in the frequeat habit ot insulting the Court, and who violently insisted on having Mr West chaired forthwith that no chairmg should take place until Monday, when the latter gentleman should enjoy that triumph at RuTHm, where such magnificent preparation bad been previously made for a REAL victory and that Mr Ablett should enjoy the humble, but independent homage of his supporters at DENBIGH, in celebrating the glorious struggle they had made in his cause, by chairing him at the same hour, namely, two o'clock,

EISTEDDFOD AT DENBIGH IN OCTOBER 1824, (Abridged account from it newspaper of tho period). Discharges of cannon, near the Costlf, early in the morning announced the approach of the festival. The Meeting was presided over by John Heaion, Esq., of "Has Heaton, and was held in the Town Hall. After addresses by the chairman and varicmB bards and recitation of Elnglynicm, th successful candidate for the Bardic Chair wps I announced to be William Edwards of Ys^eifiog. the Priject of tlie. ode beiug Denbigh Oastl- aod fee was placed in tbe chair and crowded with a ehaplti oi laurel." IU addition \9 the I chair, be received two guineas, and a medal of that value. The Rev Mr Hughes of Bodfary carried off five guineas for the best Welsh Treats on The advantages whiuh will accrue to tbe Commercial interests of Great Britain, from the independence of South A merioa." fMr Hughes handed over the money to the Denbigh Literary Society,] A prize of two guineas, and another of one guinea, were offered for the beat Welsh oration on Industy." #' On the subject being announced, no other orator appeared than R Lloyd, better known by the name of the Ruthin Canning.' It was agreed, however, that he should display his oratorical powers, in which he succeeded to great advantage, and, the Judges being of opinion that there was much merit in his extemporaneous ad- dress, he was awarded the first prize of two guineas." Mr John Griffith, of Denbigh, gained a prize of two guineas for the best Welsh essay on "The Advantages of the Denbigh National School." ''Mr W Jones, of Denbigh, an articled clerk in the law," was the author of the best Treatise to inquire What alterations have taken place in the Welsh language since the time of Taliesin, and from what causes it has apparently preserved its purity for so many ages." W Williams, of Denbigh, and Thomas Ellis, of Caerwys, had divided between them two guineas for Welsh Odes on George the Third's attaining the fiftieth year of his reign, and on the Jubilee Tower OIl Moel Fammau. erected in commemora- tion of that event." At this stage of the pro- ceedings, the President called upon Mr Jones, organist of Ruthin, for a song, who gave in excellent style and with delightful effect, 0 let the kind minstrel,' the whole company joining in the chorus—Rapturous applause followed." Evan liiohards of Llyn gained the prize of one guinea for the best translation of Burn's Cottager's Saturday night." W Williams of Denbigh gained one guinea for the Welsh Essay on "The ad- vantages accruing to the husbandman from a skilful management of his band." Mr Jones waa again called for a song and sang' Ii Yr hen amser gynt," in a masterly style. The prize of one guinea, "by a society of gentlemen met at the Bull's Head, for the six best Englynion on The Diversion of Hunting,* was awarded to Robert Davies, The Bard of Nanttdyn." "A very in- teresting (!e! followed two boys, belongiug to the Denbigh Church Sunday School, under twelve years old, who were the best readers and one under fifteen, who had signalized himself by re- peating twelve lines of Milton's "Coll Grwjnla," L ,t: > were brought up, and went through ttuir imk » distinctiveness and emphasis, which tailed iortn universal administration. The nan-,es of the boys are, Isaao Roberts, Idw Griffiths, and Isaac i'iatt," who were each presented with a Welsh Bible. The Harp-playing competition resulted as follows: 1, Rhys Jones; 2, John Roberts; 3, Owen Davies; 4, Thos. Edwards. W Williams, of Denbigh, gained a medal, value tive guineas, for the best Welsh Ode on -4 The festivities that have taken place on the coming of age of R W Vaughan, Esq., of Nannau." Thomas Ellis of Caerwys gained one guinea fpr ;ne best fix Welsh verses "On the pleasure of singing with the harps." A prize of three guineas for the best Welsh anthem on Our Saviour's Resurrection was allotted to Mr John Hughes, master of the Denbigh band. A pennillion singing competition now took place, which was adjourned until after dinner at the Crown, when and where the melodists again ap- peared, and the prizes were finally adjudged. Among this class of performers was Richard Williams, a blind man, from Anglesey, whose innocent mimiery, exquisite humour, and comio grimaces kept the company in the hall, and at the Crown, in alcrintinued roar of laughter. He wa. allowed a third place in the decision of the j udges, but as there were but two prizes, this proved ot no advantage to him. The company, however, oollected for him about twenty shillings, with which the poor fellow was mightily delighted, but not more heartily than the company were delighted in him."

A ROYAL COMPLIMENT TO BARMOUTH. Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice has ex- pressed herself, in a letter to the Dowager Marchioness of Londonderry, as highly pleased with the visit to Barmouth, which her Royal Highness describes as that beautiful place which we shall never forget," concluding the letter by stating, Indeed, we have carried away very pleasant recollections of Wales, and hope very much it may not be too long before we go back there again."

NONCONFORMIST COLLEGE DISPUTE IN NORTH WALES. A long standing feud in North Wales is about to be finally adjusted. Some years ago a differ- ence arose with regard to tha Congregational College at Bala. All efforts at mediation failed, and from then till now t*o virtually hostile Con- gregational Colleges have been conducted for ministerial preparatioc. Recently another reaolutt attempt was made to heal ti;b t,raach, and Bala College appointed as arbitrators the Revs David Rees, J Lewis, and Mr J Morgan Evans, whilet Bangor College nominated the Rev Dr Herbert Evans, Carnarvon; Mr T Williams, and Conn- cillor Williams, Carnarvon. These gentlemen have now unanimously agreed to a final basis for an arrangement.
