THE USE OF COURT PLASTER. Court plaster should be u-ed with care. If tlio injury should be very slight the method of appli- cation is unimportant; but if it is at all deep, like a cut, never use the plaster to cover the cut. Simply cut long narrow stripe and nro'y ,h-'i:i Across the cut to bring its edges together. Tl .-n the secretions of the wound can •'■scape. >ev r apply court plaster to a bruired wound.

Wnen about two or three months a^o he had been asked to be chiirman of the meeting, he accepted dl; invitation with rather a light heart, because he thought it would be just a small local mee'ing, at which people would meet a few friends, and he nuw perceived that it -was a great assembiv, and that all classes of people frotc great distanc s had come to enjoy the meeting. Bearing this in mind, he could not, help but think a greater honour hlld been con- ferred u; on him, snd that his dignity had been greutfy increased.

DENBIGH, To-day's Borough Police Court. To-DAY (Friday).—Before Mr R Humphreys Roberts (in the chair), Mr K E Hughes, and Mr C Cottom. CATCHING FISH WITH FORKS. Edward Hughes and W Jones, Denbigh, were charged by James Ryan, river watcher, with using a fork to eaten fish in the ClwJd. Mr Joseph Lloyd appeared for the Glwyd and Elwy River Conservators, and Mr Moseley defended. James Ryan .said he wis concealed in ,ot,uo bushes and saw the defendants and Robert Roberts stooping down in the water moving stones, and each having a plated fork in his haw! stabbing at the fish. He called out from his biding place to and he looked up and the other two pulle > the trout out of their pockets, put them on the bank close to where he was hiding, put their forks iu their pocket, and bolted. Roberts stlJod still and bad an eel on his ioi k, and he satisfied him that, he had only been catching eels, and no charge was brought against him. He produced the trout in a glass ju, and on examination by the B-nch the marks of the fork were distinctiy been on the fish. The defence was that they were only there catching eels, and that there wai only one fork between them, the one Roberts used to get the eels; and that Roberts said was lent him by one of the defendants. Roberts and the two defendants gave evidence, and the latter two absolutely denied that they had any trout or that they put them on the bank. Tho Cnairman (after the magistrates had retired, and taken the fish with them ior examination), said that the Boncb were unanimous in finding defendants guilty, but would only line them 6d each, which, with the costs, would make 103 each. Mr Lloyd said that tiie Conservators had been to much expense in stocking the river, and he wished defendant's and others to understand that these young fish were far move valuable than they might appear from their size. EXPOSING SO A RL RT FEVER PATIENT. Thomas Davies, Cross Foxes, HenJlao, was ohargea with itliowiiig a uhlld sulloiiiig from scarlet fever to be exposed to the danger of the puplic.

ABERGELE. ABERGELE SMITHFIELD. Oa Monday last Mr Cl-arles P Sheffield conducted his fortnightly sale in the above Sinithfield, when he had a very large entry of stock of all classes. Trade was very brisk, there being good buyers in atten- dance, one butcher from Lancashire taking borne nearly 200 lambs. Tbere were also butchers from Llanrwsfc, Llandadno, Pdn- maenmawr, Colwyn Bay and Old Colvvyn, Chester, and all the towns in the Vale cf Clwyd. The beef supply was very short, and a much larger number would have fouud ready purchasers. Mr Sheffield earnestly invites farmers to send in a con- signment to his next sale ou July 12ch. Amongst the lambs sold on Monday we may mention those of Mr Hughes, Bron- heulog, whose 7J averaged 2Ji 9d, a most excellent clearance being effected through- out. <l> —-
