LICENSING PROSECLTTIO.N.-On Monday, at the Mold Petty Sessions, James Hamill, landlord of the Swan Inn, Gwernymynydd, was summoned for opening his house on Sunday, the 2tith October, in contravention of the Welsh Sunday Closing Act. Mr. J. B. Marston prosecuted on behalf of the police.—The chairman (Mr. Davies-Cooke) said the defendant had rendered himself liable to a fine of £ 10. This was the first time the defendant had been summoned, and they hoped the fine the Bench had decided to impose would be a caution to him and to others not to open their houses on Sundays. The defendant would be fined B2 and costs, a total ef L3 15.s.-Samuel Pimblett was summoned for being found on the premises during prohibited hours, and was fined 10s. Gd. and costs, or a total of £ 1 8s. Gd.—The defendant said he wanted the whisky for his horse, which seemed at the time to be dying. He complained that the policeman on coming into the house said to him, "Now, butter- cup, what are you doing here?" Buttercup was not his name, and many a gentleman would have regarded such an expression as an insult. (Laughter).

POSTAL CHANGES.—As it has been for years the custom for residents in the Backford, Chorlton and neighbouring townships to purchase stamips, post parcels, &c., on week-days up to nine o'clock in the evening, the following recently introduced regulations at the local sub-postoffice will be a matter of interest, as a knowledge of them will, without doubt, prevent disappointment and vexation in many cases. The new regulations, as publicly exhibited, state that the office is now open for the sale of stamps, postal-orders, the registration of letters and acceptance of parcels from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on week-days, while stamps can be purchased and letters registered on Sundays from 7 to 9 a.m. The letter-box will be cleared, as usual, throughout the week at 9 p.m. These rules (with regard to sale of stamps, &c.) apply generally to all sub-offices.

MALPAS.
MALPAS. KING'S BIRTHDAY —The Kings birthday was duly honoured at Malpas by the ringing of the parish church bells after the usual Sunday morning peal, and a second time were they rung at one o'olock (mid-day).

With toast, song, and sentiment the evening passed pleasantly. The health of the host and hostess was proposed by the contractor, Mr. G. T. Huxley, in felicitous terms. Mr. Aingworth, in reply, ex- pressed the pleasure it afforded him to entertain them. He thanked them for the way they had carried out their work. (Applause.) The songs were contributed by Messrs. Aingworth (the host), S. All man, A. Strothard, V. Pearson, W. Snelson, and H. Lamb.
CREWE.--I
CREWE. I A HARD CASE. — At Crewe, on Friday, John Foster, aged 70, of Haslington, was charged with attempted suicide. He tied a rope round his neck, suspending it to a beam, and jumped from a chair, but the rope broke. Defendant explained that he had paid into a club forty years, and when recently he was ill sick pay was refused. The magistrates thought it was a very bard case, severely commented on the action of the club, and discharged the accused. CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW. The 13th annual exhibition of chrysanthemums m the Town Hall, Crewe, on Saturday, was opened by Mr. Watt Cook. The show was in every respect excellent, and the visitors were warm in their praise of the many beautiful blooms shewn, especially in the amateurs' divisions. Mr. C. Threlfall, of Tarporley, was awarded first prize for 18 cut flowers of the Japanese variety, and received the certificate of the National Chrysanthemum Society. Mr. R. Brockle- bank, of Haughton Hall, Tarporley, and Mr. F. W. Webb, of Crewe, also took prizes in the same division. Mr. Threlfall and Mr. Brocklebank were awarded the principal prizes in the incurved and Japanese sections, each showing a dozen fine blooms. For groups of plants Mr. J. Littler, Mr. J. Baddeley, and Mr. T. Brooks were very successful. Mr. R. Arthur, of Coppenhall, won the chief prize for the best plant (Japanese), being awarded also the National Society's certificate.

The exhibits by working mn were exceedingly creditable, and made an excellent display.

The Great Australian Remedy YITADATIO A Bad Case of STRICTURE Cured. Dear Sir.-It is with the greatest pleasure that I testify to the great good I have received from Webber's VITADATIO." Having suffered from stricture for a long time, tried other remedies, which only partially relieved me, I then went into the Hospital, but left uncured, ) with the catheters to use, that being the best they could do, unless they operated on me; and, as they told me, at my time of life (I am 65 years of age) it would be a serious thing. Having seen one of your pamphlets with a cure of a similar case, I determined to try the remedy. Having taken 10 bottles of Webber s "VITADATIO," am now happy to say that I am thoroughly cured, and have dispensed with the catheters. After taking the third bottle I was able to dispense with the instruments of torture and follow my usual employment. All my friends are surprised at the great improvement m my appearance, as not only having been cured of above, am much better in health generally. Hoping this will meet the eyes of some poor suffering ones. I remain, yours truly, THOMAS MALBY. 23, Juvenal Buildings, Liverpool, March 27th, 1900. VITADATrO is a tonic and cleanses the blood so that disease cannot exist in the healthy system. Previous to my arrival in England VITADATIO bad been sent here from Australia, and some cures were effected.

I ____CHANNEL BALLOONING.
I CHANNEL BALLOONING. I EXPERIENCES OF THE VOYAGE. I TESTS OF STEERING. I SATISFACTORY RESULTS. The Rev. J. M. Bacon telegraphed to "The Morning Post" on Monday evening stating that he had crossed from Douglas, Isle of Man, to the mainland by balloon, and landed in a wild glen in Dumfriesshire. The following most interesting description of the voyage appears in the "Morning Post" from Mr. John M. Bacon:—As we left Douglas at half-past one on Monday afternoon tho Peveril Hotel was packed like a grandstand from basement to para- pet, the thoroughfares around were absolutely i blocked, and thousands were collected in a douse mass at the pier-head, so that when we looked down, after climbing the first thousand feet into the sky, and took our first photographs, the entire population of the Isle of Man seemed to be clus- tered like a swarm of bees around Douglas Bay. TRANSPARENT IN ITS DEPTHS. The R-enard, which with admirable and true Service-like method and precision had kept in touch with us in spite of the boisterous sea and the interference of Sunday, was known to be lying off somewhere to leeward, and as we passed out over the north of the island, sailing high, we saw what appeared like a little toy boat ploughing a creamy track through a piacid deep blue 8m transparent to us even in its depths. It was hard to believe that tha object was a man-of-war, so I signalled with the collapsing drum "whistle," and the answering shriek of the well-known siren assured us that our consort was in truth at hand. It was prudent, however, not to descend as yet to the waves, so as to avoid loss of gas, and to ensure our making a fair start by sky across our uncertain way, for so far we knew not how the upper winds might blovi over our confined corner of the draughty Irish Sea. Moreover, instead of our making the Cumberland coast, as the weather- wise had promised us, it was already clear that our course was far more northerly, and if it veered but a point or two more westerly there might well be no land ahead of us save Greenland. At this point, therefore, as a gleam of sunlight shot through an opening in the lower clouds I lowered my heliographio ball until it was poised as an in- tensely brilliant star in the clear below the car. I await with interest the officers' report as to how well this instrument was seen. DOWN WITH A SWOOP. I A little later, our balloon commencing a down- ward course, I talegraphed "ShaH trail soon," a.ud truly the trailing began almost prematurely, for, subjected to some suddeq. and unseen influence, we came down with a swoop, so much so that a ducking seemed imminent, and two whole heavy baga were smartly dropped bodily into the waves to avoid what would have been a serious distur- bance of our instruments and gear. The man- oeuvre was well carried out, and we were spared a wet jacket. Moreover, the opportunity was come for testing our steering apparatus. The trail-rope was dragging a long length through the water and our sail was full and straining. So the helm was put about with a result which was immediate and wholly satisfactory. I will only state here, how- ever, that I am convinced that this most impor- tant trial should be repeated and confined to some specially arranged opportunity when other experi- mental work is not being undertaken. I am thoroughly satisfied with all the results, but I will reserve my report on this head till I have conferred with the officers of the Renard. Suffice it to say that a well-filled nowbook leaves me much more to write about in due course. SUNLIGHT GLARE OF GLASSY WATER. I Ere we had been an hour and a half in the sky the tongue of land behind us, marking the northern-most point of Man, was fading out in a sunlit glare of glassy water, and our gallant com- panion, though travelling full spsed ahead, was obviously losing way, and no wonder, for the wind was freshening with on-coming storms, of which we were destined to know enough before long. But there was other land ahead, an indented coast- line frayed into firths and creeks, and guarded by outstanding lighthouses. Where were we to land —Luce Bay or Wigtown Bay ? Each in turn looked likely, but we sidled by, and then it seemed as if we might have a long and uncertain sail along the length of the Solway Firth. But half-an-hour later 8.11 doubt was cleared up, and we sailed at high speed over a lone. bleak coast-line, forming the ssa barrier to Kirkcudbright, already in sight nestling in a snug retreat, then away over a wild region, sparsely inhabited, where—contrary to all wont—the human voice seldom reached us, only the cry of waterfowl and other frightened bird life. Another sound, however, frequently broke in cn us—the roar of mountain streams. Quickly the country grew wilder and wilder, the lower air filled in with ominously thickening mist, and sud- denly. with a swoop, we were in cloud which was not tnat of the free heaven. Our tugging trail- rope told us we were brushing a mountain-top, and, after brief obscuration, a desert valley opened out with further ridges beyond, which brought a repetition of the same experience. Then, as the light faded and the country grew more level, we dropped slowly earthward, and presently we caught the cry of grouse. We were over moors—those of Soedoch and Stroyahan, as we learned—as, with dirty weather obviously brewing, wo came to earth in the well-chosen. reheat of a deep grlen, amid lonccdank grass anci bosr, with daylight gone and heavy wet already settling in and fourteen miles across open country to Dumfries. [The distance between Douglas and the point at which Mr.,Baoon landed is in a .direot line about eighty-five miles.] I

UNSUSPECTED HEART DISEASE. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CURE. The reader may not he aware that Heart Disease is one of the most common of unsuspected ailments. Rapid breathing and a sense of oppression on the chest; a chill breathlessness that keeps us from sleeping on first lying down for the night; pal- pitation, often felt in the head or at the wrists, all arise from the heart Anaemia is a frequent cause of heart trouble; it gives rise to breathlessness. which strains the heart, and, by depriving the vital orlran of its proper blood supply, upsets the whole system. Men who smoke often experience a tremulousness of the hands and giddiness in the head due to smoker's heart"; numhness of the arms is another sign, and points to danger from paralysis. A diseased heart can only be cured in one way-by means of the blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People owe their wonderful effect on the heart to their power of increasing and purifying the blood supply, which alone can strengthen that organ. You may have an affection of the heart without knowing it; if you are run down, sleepless, easily tired and in general need of a tonic, Dr. Williams Pink Pills will not only supply this need, but directly strengthen the whole body by healthy heart-action. A typical case is that of Mrs. 8nmb Arnold, 24, Newington-street, Hessle-road, Hull. Here are her own words, certified by the Hull Daily News: "I never was a strong woman. I was always ailing, but when I married I became worse, and ?-??.'??? il¡r.. If(/. (., )' 1 'Ii   ?. '? Mrs. Arnold Cured of Heart Disease by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I I T after the birth ot my nrst; boy I ljecame too ill to do anything. My Heart was seriously diseased, and I suffered from shooting pains down my left side and at the back of my left shoulder, so that I could not raise my arm above my head. Very soon it went to my right side also, until it became as bad as my left. Soon afterwards my second child was born, and then it was thought that I would never re- cover. I was racked with pain, and too weak to move. I tried dozens of things, but nothing seemed to do me any real i—.q r 1"0 good. People said I was partly paralysed. 1 owe 1 my cure entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. It 'is to them that my present le.,tltliy condition is due. I don't know where I should have been if I had not tried them." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are safe and beneficial to the most delicate constitution. They give strength and new blood. The price is 2s. 9d. per box, six boxes 13s. 9d.post free, from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Holborn-viaduct, London, and any question as to their suitability to any complaint named, or illness described, will be cheerfully answered by post. The Pills can also be obtained wherever medicine is sold, but to avoid dangerous substitutes (which may be purgative, and hence very dangerous to a Weak Heart) it is necessary to insist on having the genuine pills with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People" on the wrapper. /?

i THE CHURCHES. I
i THE CHURCHES. I SHOOTING AND HUNTING PARSONS. Tae Archbishop of Canterbury, speaking at the mayoral banquet, at Canterbury, said the clergy certainly stood very high in the estimation | of Church people. They had got rid of shooting and hunting parsons and others who seemed to think that pursuits of that kind were quite congenial to the profession to which they belonged, and that a man appointed to be a minister of the Gospel was quite in his place when giving up his time and interest and, to a large extent, the affection of his heart to such, to say the least of them, worldly sports as hunting and shooting. He did not blame men for hunting and shooting, but he confessed that he did not like clergymen to do it, and he did not think that members of the Church of England did either. DR. CHAVASSE AND CHURCH PROBLEMS. I In the course of his visitation cnarge on xuesaay the Bishop of Liverpool (Dr. Chavasse) said there were three great evils with which the Church had to contend in that diocese-partisanship, individualism, and materialism. Round ritual, as expressive of doctrine, it was that in that diocese the most angry strife had centred. There had risen out ef the heart of the High Church revival a body of men- extreme- men—men, who, while holding every Romanist doctrine, contrived to satisfy their con- sciences that they could honestly remain in the Church of England. It was certain that if this sore were allowed to remain and to spread, disestablish- ment and disruption awaited the Church at no distant period, and a blow would be struck at English Christianity which would be felt in every part of the empire. Three policies lay open to a bishop in these circumstances-inactivity, prosecu- tion, and episcopal excommunication. The latter was the policy he had most reluctantly adopted and intended to pursue in that diocese. It was heart- rending, but he had no option. It was a policy of treating the offenders as self-made Nonconformists, as having placed themselves by their own act and deed outside his jurisdiction. He declined to be present at their services, to preach in their pulpits, to confirm in their churches, to license any assistant clergy.

ARMY AND VOLUNTEERS.
ARMY AND VOLUNTEERS. .— CAERGWRLE VOLUNTEERS. The members of F Company, 2nd V.B. R. W.F., held their annual supper and prize distribution on Tuesday evening. Keen disappointment was felt when it became known that Colonel J. Sheriff Roberts (Chester) .was unable to attend through illness, and sympathy with their colonel was general. Captain Swetenham was unavoidably absent, as was also Sergt.-Major Claridge, the latter officer having-had a bereavement in his family. Captain Clark took the chair, being supported by Adjutant Willes and Major Spanw.— Adjutant Willes proposed "F Company." They had well upheld their previous good name, their musters, both at drill and in camp, had been first-rate. He ^iad been looking at their records and noticed that they had done better shooting than last year. Remarking on the excellent muster in camp, he said gratitude was due to the employers of labour who let the men off. Out of 000 men of the battalion they had 700 men in camp and this said a great deal for the "esprit de corps" of the regiment. F Company had been very luoky in having good company officers. Captain Clarke took great interest in the company. After paying a compliment to the non-commissioned officers of the company, he wished success to F Company, but was sorry that would be the last prize dinner he would be with them. However, he could guarantee his successor would have a good battalion to look after. (Loud applause).—Adjutant Willes then distributed three South African medals to Corporal Trevor Parry, Lance-Corporal T. Bellis, and Private E. Hanaby, also two special prizes given by the captain to (1) Private W. H. Jones and (2) Private J. H. Smith who introduced 13 and five recruits respectively..— Capt. Clark returned thanks, and spoke in high terms of his conipany.-Quarterinaster Davies pro. posed "The Visitors," Sergt.-Major Armstrong respond incr.—Sergt.-Instructor Ridings proposed Our Host and Hostess," Sergt. Wm. Piercv responding. The toasts were interspersed with songs and recitations by the following :—Sergt.- Instructor Ridings, Lance-Corporal A. L. Wynne, Cyclist Grainger, Private E. Hanaby, Lance. Corporal 1. Griffiths, and Mr. L. S. Davies.

NATUIUL HISTORY NOTES. I [FROM THE "FIELD."] I PIED JACKDAW. I In the "Field" of November 1st reference is made to a pied jackdaw. It may interest your natural history readers to know that some years since, when residing at St. Albans, I saw for two or three weeks at intervals a rook, one of an ordinary flock, with a broad white band across each wing- C. Burney Brown. [Rooks with more or less white about them a.re reported every summer as soon as the young are able to'flv. Pied jackdaws are of much less frequent occurrence.—Ed.] LEECH TRANSPORTED BY SNIPE. I When out shooting, on September 28th, a snipe got up and went awafy slowly like a wounded bird, with one leg hanging down. I shot it, and then found it had a large olive-coloured leech about 4in. long fastened on to its foot. I have shot snipe every season in India and Burma for twenty years, and never saw such a thine: before. I suppose the bird could have picked it off if it liked, but I have several times here seen horses and mules in marshy ground with a regular bunch of these big leeches on their legs, and the animals apparently did not mind them. A horse could have no difficulty in pulling a 4in. leech off his fetlock, but perhaps it might be afraid of touching them with its mouth, and a snipe might be equally nervous as to a leech getting hold of its head.—F. Atlay, Mogok, Upper Burma. THE DESTRUCTION OF RARE BIRDS. It seems a pity that most landowners do not reserve the shooting' of all wildfowl in their leases. I do not wish to depreciate the intelligence of the average tenant farmer, but I think the generality of them do not take a very enlightened interest in natural history, with the result that they shoot every uncommon bird they see if wildfowl are not reserved by the landlord in the same manner as the game is. In last week's Field I read of a glossy ibis beino- shot in Herefordshire, and a great bustard near Cambridge. I also see by a local paper that an eagle has been killed in Lincolnshire, and in each case a farmer is the slayer. The lives of all these rare birds might have been spared if only the owners of the land on whose properties they were killed had reserved the shooting.—" Rara Avis." VARIETY OF THE PARTRIDGE. On October 25th a friend who was shooting with me in Shropshire killed a partridge with curiously coloured plumage. The colour of the back was rather like that of a grouse, but with a dusting of white on it. The breast was a dark chesnut all over, without the horseshoe mark thighs grey, head and neck a very light chesnut colour. It was an old bird and, 1 think, a cock. I sent it for preservationto a taxidermist, who says he believes it to be a cross between a francolin and a partridge, and that he had one a week or so ago from a locality a long way from where this was shot. I shall be interested to know whether you have received any reports of similar crosses.—Alan H. Twentyman. [No such hybrid is known as that suggested, nor are there any francolins in England to make such an unlikely cross possible. The bird in question is merely a dark variety of the common partridge, and several similar specimens have been from time to time reported, chiefly from the north of England. —ED ]

The adjudicator, in commenting on the various items rendered, saia 11 was a great pity that these choirs did not undertake some good cantata, instead of so many competitive meetings. Welsh choirs, as a rule, were very deficient in their pronunciation, which spoilt many good pieces. If they went into Yorkshire they would hear singing which they would do well to copy.

NANTWICH. DIPHTHERIA AT THE WORKHOUSE.— At the meeting of the Nantwich Board of Guardians on Saturday, Dr. Munro, medical officer of health, reported six cases of diphtheria and fout of sore throat among the boys at the workhouse. The drainage of the premises was found to be in- sufficiently ventilated, and an escape of noxiou gas from the sewers was detected. It was agreed to engage an additional nurse, also thoroughly to investigate the condition of the drains, and to appoint a committee to enquire into the matter.

It seems to me that this is turning night into day. (To Mr. Bevan:) You know my opinion upon these matters, and I fur one cannot consent to the applica- tion.—iYlr. Bevan I submit that this is not the place to discuss the moral aspect of the question, Out I feel contident that the majority of the bench will grant the application.—Mr. Thomas: Will ladies be present on the occasion ?—Mr. Bevan: I am afraid that 110 dance would be very enjoyable without ladies. (Laughter.)—The application was granted by a majority, Air. Thomas still protesting.
IRUBON.
I RUBON. PERSISTENT ANTI-VACCINIST. At the Ruabon Petty Sessions, on Friday, Richard Evans, Afongoch, Ruabon, renewed his application for an exemption order in reference to the vaccination of one of his children. The Clerk said that the application had been refused at the last sessions. The applicant: And I apply again. I have a con- scientious objection, as 1 consider vaccination prejudicial to my child's health. Ultimately the Bench acceded to the application, -The Clerk (Mr. Evans): In all probability you will live to regret it. A SERIOUS CHARGE.-At a special sitting of the Ruabon Petty Sessions on Monday, a labourer named James Large was brought up in custody charged with having unlawfully wounded his wife. It is alleged that shortly before eleven o'clock on the previous Saturday night Large returned home under the influence of drink and immediately commenced to quarrel with his wife. High words led to blows, and eventually the accused produced a large clasp knife and stabbed her in the back. The prisoner stated that he was cutting tobacco with his knife, and during a struggle between them it accidentally caught her. He had not threatened her, and had not the slightest intention of injuring her. The prisoner was remanded until Friday. .——————— +

Those for the boiler and dynamo house, &c., were quite separate plans. The plans for the houses were prepared by Mr. Frank J. Jones, architect for Messrs. David Jones & Co. TRAP ACCIDENT. Last week a serious accident happened to Mrs. A. Hayes, of Towntield-lane. She had just come out of Mrs. Garratt's drive on to the road and was talking to a Mrs. Fletcher, when both were knocked down by a trap coming up Chapel-lane. Mrs. Fletcher was comparatively unhurt, but Mrs. Hayes had apparently been kicked on the head by the horse. She lay unconscious, and when carried to Dr. Burton's she remained in that state for nearly an hour. In addition to severe injuries on the head, both her ankles were hurt. She is, however, as well as could be expected under the circumstances. j

In the elegance and comfort of its accommodation, and the purpose which it is designed to fulfil, it is regarded by its promoters as the particular club for which London has long been waiting. As its name suggests, it will appeal toi ladies jwho are fond of sport and country pursuits of all kinds. The premises are to be in the neighbourhood of Bond- street and Piccadilly, and among the club's attrac- tions are to be billiard and card rooms, while motor cars are to be provided, and, during the season, a club drag will be ready for members who prefer horses to motors. An influential committee is being formed. OF FEMININE INTEREST. The Lady's World" for November contains excellent short stories by such well-known authors as F.

The fashions this month will be specially welcome to the home dressmaker, as many simple and effective styles for winter blouses are given, with both indoor and out- door gowns. The gratis pattern consists of a dressy blouse of a simple and effective style. I THE CASUAL MAN. Information as to the best way at treating various types of man is not to be despised. In the article on the subject in the November number of The Lady's Magazine" Mrs. Neish tells us that the casual man is one of the best to deal with. Of all types of man at home, the casual man is the pleasantest. There are people whose faults amuse rather than irritate us, and this is the case with the casual man. He is. as a rule, an easy- going person whom it is not difficult to amuse, and is not disagreeable even when he is bored. He is cheery as well as unreliable, and generous as well as careless the generosity of the man at home covers, or should cover, a multitude of "casualties." The only way to live happily with the casual man is to be a crutch to him. Treat him as a moral cripple, be his prop and his support in life, and thank Heaven that you have him instead of the fussy man, or the mean man, or the tyrant and the bullying man. If you are giving a little dinner party, don't ask him to order the fish. If you have written an important letter, don't ask the casual man to post it. You must, in fact, bear in mind a certain number of dont's, remembering that it is the casual man's apparent object in life not to do but to leave undone. Above all, don't try to alter him by scolding him—you will be wasting your breath and losing your time. The motto of the casual man's wife should be added to her promise of love, honour, and obey-if you want a thing done do it yourself. Let the casual man's wife, therefore, deal as gently as she can with her unmethodical husband, and in recognising his merits and resenting his faults remember that he is the man of her own choice, and the matrimonial bargain of which she must make the best.

Sin EI.LIOTT SHOOTING RIGHTS.—In the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, on Mondayj Mr. Justice Joyce delivered his reserved judgment in the action by which Sir Elliott Lees, M.P. for Birkenhead, sought Ml injunction to restrain a person from shooting pheasants reared on his premises. Defendant is tenant of part of Sir ) Elliott Lees' eat?tea at Waicham, in _pMt of Sir the complaint against him was that he had shot pheasants on a spear bed, about eight acres in extent, which adjoined the property rented by him. The defence was that the spear bed was part of the foreshore, and that for many years persons had shot fore,s hioti.e, Iiis Lordship said he had come t. the conclusion that the plaintiff had been in such legal possession of the spear bed as to entitle him to maintain tresspass against a mere wrong-doer such as defendant, or indeed against any one except the Crown, if the latter could make out a better title to possession. He would give judgment for the plain- tiff for 20s. damages and the costs of the action, and the defendant would be restrained from trespassing upon the spear bed in pursuit of game and from shooting game.
I BARONET'S TRAGIC END.______I
BARONET'S TRAGIC END. I By what is apparentiy an unfortunate railway acc-4?c?it, a gallant soldier. Sir James Gordon Graham-Montgomery, fourth baronet, of Stanhope, Peebles, has lost his life, an event which puts Peebirs,, dist-ingiiiched families into mourning, and causes deap regret among a large circle of military and social friends. He succeeded his father—who was once a notable member of the House of Com- mons, and a warm friend of Lord Beaconsfield as well as of the great Lord Derby-only last year, and had previously served in the Coldstream Guards, from whom he retired with the rank of lieutenant- colonel in 1894. While with that regiment- he was through the Egyptian War of 1882, and took part in tlie, battle of Tel-el-Kebir, for which he wore the medal with clasp and the Khedive's bronze star. Sir James was travelling from Edinburgh to Lon- don, and while the train was passing Seaton. in Rut!8:fid.ir, at a very early hour on Saturday niorninsr it is Slirmiepri thai, k/* flWAlfft fnnrv. a1 I opened Ipv mistake the door of the compartment, in which he was alone, and fell out of the train while it was going at full speed. At all events, he was found in the morning- on the permanent way before life was quite extinct, but he died ere effective medical assistance could be o-I)tained, and the remains were conveyed to Seaton, where an inquiry will be held. The lainented officer was in his fifty-first year, and was highly esteemed by all the tenantry on the family estates, which cover nearly 22.000 acres, in Peeblesshire and Kinross, and. according to the New Domesday Book, have a rent roll of EIO,000 per annum. Hø never married, and the baronetcy now goes to his brother, Mr. Basil Graham-Mont- gomery, formerly a lieutenant in the 60th Rifles, who married in 1880 a daughter of the late Sir Thomas Moncrieffe. One of her sisters was the late Duchess of Atholl. another is Georsiana Countess of Dudley, and a third is Lady Muir- Mackenzie; white a sister of the baronet who has come to a regret-ted and untimely end is the Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos, and another was Countess Temple, widow of the fourth Earl Temple, who died last March. An inquest was held on Monday, and a verdict of "Accidental death returned.

BACKFORD. WIRRAL ELECTRIC TRAMWAYS. — The important scheme to be promoted in the next Parliamentary session, to connect Chester and Birkenhead by an electric tramway, running along the maitt road through Backford and Moston, will attract a considerable amount of local attention. That such a scheme was among the possibilitiet of the near future has been recognised when the subject of the growth of electric traction has been a topic of local conversa- tion, but no one quite anticipated that it would come to the front as soon as it has. However, the parochial electors of Backford will, ere long, have an opportunity of publicly expressing their opinions, favourable or otherwise, with regara w the proposal, as there appears on the public notice board hanging ir the church porch an announcement that a rieeting of the parochial electors will be held 01 Wednesday evening, November 19th, to consider a communication from the County Coundl re the proposed tram- way.

Jones complained of the ditch at the bottom of his field. It was in a filthy condition. His horse got into the ditch and was extricated after mucn difficulty. If anything happened to the horse through the ditch he should hold the Parish Council responsible for damages.—A letter from the County Council re the proposed tramway was read, asking the Council's opinion on the matter. The Council decided to defer the matter till their next meeting. On the proposition of Mr. Coulter, seconded by Mr. Hopley, the Clerk was directed to write to the owner of the hedge adjoining the footpath leading from Station-lane to Red Lion-lane, asking that it should be attended to at once, as it had overgrown the footpath.
