TO CAPTAIN RICHARDS, BRYNEITHIN.
TO CAPTAIN RICHARDS, BRYNEITHIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." SIR,-In the report of the proceedings ot tno nvy and Ayron Fishery District Board of Conservators, which appeared in the last week's issue of the WELSH- m.ts, you are said to have stated that you were ready to bet with anyone that no fresh fish appeared in the Tivy waters much before the 29th of May. I am not accustomed to speculate much in betting, but when a temptation, such as you have just offered, presents itself, I am free to confess that I am not proof to withstand it, and therefore accept it without any modification. I engage to produce a salmon caught any week from the present day up to that named by you. I beg to mention that the stakes should be £ 100 a side, and I conclude by suggesting that Messrs Frank Buckland, and G. Stevenson, of London, shall be referees. Awaiting your acceptance hereof, I am yours, &c., THOMAS HARRIS. Llechryd, Llandyssul, THOMAS HARRIS. llth Feb., 1869.
A STRANGE CASE.
A STRANGE CASE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." SIR,-Allow me to invite the attention of your readers to a most extraordinary case. Sarah Jacob, a little girl of twelve years of age, and daughter of Mr Evan Jacob, Lletherneuadd, in this parish, has not partaken of a single grain of any kind of food whatever during the last sixteen months. She did occasionally swallow a few drops of water during the first few months of this period but now she does not even do that. She still looks pretty well in the face, and con- tinues in the possession of all her mental faculties. She is in this, and seyeral other respects, a wonderful little girl. Medical men persist in saying that the thing is quite impossible, but all the nearest neighbours, who are thoroughly acquainted with the circumstances of the case, entertain no doubt whatever on the subject, and I am myself of the same opinion. Would it not be worth their while for medical men to make an investigation into the nature of this strange case? Mr Evan Jacob would readily admit into his house any respectable person, who might be anxious to watch it, and to see for himself. I may add that Lletherneuadd is a farm house, about a mile from New Inn, in this parish. Yours faithfully, THE VICAR OF LLANFIHANGEL-AR-ARTH.
POOR AND COUNTY RATES.
POOR AND COUNTY RATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHMAN." SIR,-Your correspondent Agricola." has ventilated a subject of well nigh universal complaint—the steady increase of the Poor and County Rates. They are more felt by the Agriculturist because of the compara- tive immunity of other kinds of property to local taxa- tion. The question is, what measures ought to be taken to decrease the expenditure and to have the rates more equally and righteously adjusted ? The promise of economy from Her Majesty's present advisers in all departments will, I am afraid, be of little benefit to the farmer, except great pressure is brought to bear upon them from outside. It is a good sign of the times, that Chambers of Agriculture are springing up in every direction, and that this subject has been taken up by them in sound earnest, and if the farmers generally were to give it the attention it deserves and send petitions into Parliament a favourable result might reasonably be expected. The adage that Heaven helps those that help themselves" is nowhere more ;verified than in Parliamentary representation. But why the increase ? The lavish expenditure for military stores, lunatic asylums, &c., the palatial style of the buildings and the maintenance of a large staff of constabulary are a few of the streams that drain the money, with a new county gaol in perspective. Until the ratepayers have a voice, through representatives of their selection, little hope can be cherished of practical economy at the county Boards. I am, Yours, &c, ALIUS AGKICOLA.

AGRICULTURE. I
AGRICULTURE. I GRUBS IN A GRASS FIELD.—I have part of a field that has lain four years in grass, sown down for oats. On looking over it a few days ago, I found underneath the old grass the young grub in thousands. Is there anything I can put on it to kill them before ploughing it for a crop of oats. It is partly old croft land lying close to the sea, lying from 30 to 40 feet above high- water mark. I was thinking of harrowing it well with sharp iron harrows to expose them, if possible, to the crows, for they have been looking on it a great deal. [Have you satisfied yourself by a minute inspection of the contents of the crops of any of the crows who frequent the grass field, that they pick up and devour the grubs, which are doubtles feeding upon the vege- table matter in the soil, This fact being ascertained in the affirmative, the harrows may be used to expose the grub for the crows. But only a few of the grubs will be brought to the surface by harrows passing over the field. If the field is ploughed so as to be seeded with oats, 5 to 7 cwt. of rapecake, broken into small pieces, may be distributed over the land at the time it is seeded. The rapecake will kill the grubs who partake of it, while the oat crop will be greatly benefited by the ap- plication of rapedust. Are there no seaware cast ashore on the coast, and which could be made available for manuring the field P If so, apply seaware at the rate of, say, 50 cartloads per acre, and spread the ware im- mediately after it is carted on the land. SADDLE GALLS.—I have a riding horse which had his back galled by the hinder part of the saddle, some time ago. There was no wound-only a swelling, which I had bathed. There was still a fullness on the back bone, but as it did not appear to inconvenience the horse, I took no notice of it, thinking that it might disappear in time; but I find since using him daily that the part is swelling again. I have again bathed it with warm water, which has reduced the swelling a little. Upon examination to-day I find that the hair is falling off in little patches, and there is in the swelling a hole about the size of a large pea. There does not appear to be any matter formed in the wound, at least there is no discharge from it. Would you kindly inform me as to the best mode of treatment, and also as to the best way of preventing white hairs growing on the place ? [These saddle galls, although like many other matters springing from small beginnings, when neglec- ted or badly treated, frequently become troublesome and persistent. From a clumsy, indifferently-fitting saddle, especially if filled by an awkward heavy rider, the skin and underlying structures get bruised; tenderness and swelling follow hot fomentations, and avoidance of any pressure or repetition 01 me exciting1 cause are the obvious remedies. Sometimes, however, the faulty saddle is put on again too soon, when more bruising occurs or the injury at first is of such a serious charac- ter that considerable inflammation is set up. The hard circumscribed swelling softens or points, and a little matter escapes. From your account of your case, and especially from the opening described in the swelling-, your saddle gall has probably run through some such course. If there are still heat and tenderness about the injured spot, continue the fomentations several times daily. Any pus lodged in the wound, should 00 cleared, out; and the interior of the swelling or abscess, as it would be technically termed, may be syringed out daily with some mild astringent, or with a solution of one part of carbolic acid dissolved in six of oil. Frequently saddle galls do not open, or, having opened, close again, and a troublesome enlargement or cyst remains, not very tender or painful, but in the case of a riding horse very much in the way, and very apt to get pressed upon and bruised. Such swellings' are usually treated by a dressing or two of the ointment of the red iodide of mercury. If not removed in this way, you had better have the aid of a competent veterinarian, who will pro- bably extract the cyst with the knife. The white hairs you dread appearing will now grow if the gall is rapidly and skilfully got rid of. Such white hairs, whether on the horse or the human subject, result from the hair being indifferently nourished, either owing to the general debility incident to old age, or the weakness of the hair, roots, or parts adjacent. The only rational treatment for such blanching of the hair, or for bald- ness, is the occasional application of a gentle stimulant to the grey or sparsely-covercd surface. LIME v. BOXES FOR HILL PASTURE LAND RE- CENTLY DRAINED.—During last summer I thoroughly tile-drained a great extent of deep, grassy bill land, with a view to top-dressing it with lime in the coming sum- mer. The land was in its natural state before it was drained. I have been adviso d by a practical agricul- turist, to try bones instead of time as a topdressing, he assuring me that the beneficial eifect produced by the bones would be so great if not greater than that pro- duced by lime, and the expenses of application, &c., would be entirely in favour of the bones. Would you please say what you thuk on the subject! What quan- tity of bones would you apply per acre ? In what state would you apply them And is there any machine in use for the spreading of them P [Without the know- ledge of the soil, and the rock formation of the district, it is not advisable to express any very decided opinion as to whether lime or bones would prove of the greatest benefit. Both lime and bones may be requisite to en- sure the highest return in the form of an abundant growth of nutritive grasses. Assuming that the land has not been limed, and that th"ro is IiI. tie calcareous matter in the soil, lime applied at from five to seven tons per acro should prove a very profitable outlay. By applying the time during the summer the effects will not be visible until a succeding season. The drying of the land by means of the drains will have caused seve- ral of the grasses not grown in damp soils to die out. Their place will intimately be taken by more nutritive grasses. If bones-finely broken bones or bone meal-is to be used instead of lime, apply from seven to ten cwts. to the acre. There are machines for distributing manures these are generally expensive. One in the form of a common grain drill sowing-machine would prove efficient. The cutters being removed, the machine should not exceed six feet in width. If bones are to be used, no time should be lost in applying them. What we would recommend is a series of experiments. Say a portion of the pasture topdressed with five tons of lime and six cwt. of broken bones to the acre another por- tion topdressed with, say seven tons of lime, and ano- ther portion with, say seven cwts. of broken bones or bone meal. In addition to these experiments we would suggest another-a mixture of phosphatic guano or bone meal, say four cwts., and sulphate of ammonia, say one I and a-half cwts. to the acre. This mixture may be ap- plied during this or the succeeding month.]

In a contemporary, a "beneficial clergyman advertises that he is ready to I- lend his weekly sermons, origi- nal, earnest, evangelical, to any brother more busy than himself" for half-a-crown apiece, or four for a "P.O. for ten shillings." He ends by a request for mutual confidence." Can the bishops do nothing to stop this practice, which must tend to bring the clergy into discredit If not, cannot the public press lend a helping hand ?—Guardian. The surplice, says the Cornwall Gazette, has been sub- stituted for the black gown in four parish churches in Cornwall, since the Privy Council judgment concerning ritualism was delivered, and we understand that clergy- men in other parishes are about to effect a similar change. Prebendary Hedgeland, of Penzance, adopted the sur- plice in the pulpit, and made the following observations —The recent judgment of the Privy Council with re- gard to ritual being now formally established as law, and it being manifestly the duty of all clergy of the Church of England to conform to the law of the land so long as they minister in her communiou, I have come to the conclusion that it is my own duty to discontinue henceforward the use of the gown in the pulpit, and to conclude the morning service on days when there is no midday Communion with the Prajer for the Church Militant and subsequent Collect, as ordered by the rubric. At a meeting of the clergy of the archdeaconry of London held in the hall of Sion College, on Saturday afternoon, for presenting an address to Dr Jackson, the Bishop said that it was at one time the dream of his life that the differences which existed in the Church were rapidly passing away, and that they would live to see the time when all minor differences, at least would disappear. That dream was now dissipated. They had been told in many quarters, Dr Jackson added, that if the Church would but speak, all differences would be settled. If the Church were to speak, by the united voice of the Episcopate, aided by the learned men in theology and law, or by the voice of Convocation, of one, two, or four provinces, or by diocesan or provincial synods, or by general councils, he (the Bishop) believed that the result would be pretty much the same- namely, that those whose opinions were condemned would contend that the Church had not spoken, or that the Church had made a mistake. There were, however, one or two pressing evils which might, he thought, be curcd if the attempt Were made in a Christian spirit, and one of these was the tone not of the "religious," but. of what was called the Church press. He did not intend to speak of newspapers on one side or the other, but of all, and the evils connected with them were more than small, for there was involved in the question a great breach of Christian charity. It was very well to lay the blame on newspapers, but newspapers were, of course written to sell. If they were not sold they would not be written, and the inference was that the vast masses of persons who bought them were not displeased with their uncharitable misrepresentations. But the great evil in connection with newspapers was this, that they provided means of scandal for the wordly and unbelieving, who, talcing for granted what they read, despised what were called the love and charity of Christians. It could only be in a spirit of the bitterest irony that the sceptic and the unbeliever could point to the Church newspapers of the day, and say, See how these Christians love one another." The Bishop of Carlisle has, in consequence of ill- health, retired from active duties for a season. The Right Rev. Bishop Anderson will undertake Dr. Waldegrave's duties during his lordship's absence from home. The Irish Times states that the Government have decided on not calling out the militia of Ireland for training this year; recruiting also continues sus- pended. Notices are given of a levee to be held by the Queen at Buckingham Palace on Friday, the 5th of March; of a drawing room to be held by the Queen at Bucking- ham Palace on Wednesday, the 10th of March; and of levees to be held by Prince Arthur at St James's Palace on Friday, the 12th of March, and on Friday, the 19th of March. Presentations to his Royal Highness at these levees will be considered as equivalent to pres6ntations to her Majesty. A circular from the Lords Commissioners of the Ad- miralty has been received at Woolwich dockyard in forming the officials that Captain Robert Scott, R.N., has been appointed supertendent of gun carriages for the Royal Navy. This appointment, is supposed, at Woolwich, to mark their lordships' approval of Captain Scott's services in constructing the new 18-ton gun car- riage, which was used during the trial of the Hercules in her six hours' run off the Isle of Wight. THE MONEY MARKET.-The Economist observes that the cardinal fact in the present state of the money mar- ket is that the bullion in the Bank of England is more than £3,000,000 less than it was this time last year. The figures are-Coin and bullion last year, £ 21,695,000; now, £ 18,408,000— £ 3,287,000. In consequence the money market is far more delicate than it was last year, and a very slight change will cause a rise in the value of money. Nevertheless, the Bank of England showed a wise discretion in not raising this week their rate of dis- count. The return itself is a fairly good one. Contrary to common expectation the private securities, that is to say the bills discounted, have diminished; and therefore the Bank of England have not as yet an in- stant cause for action. The question whether the exceptional warmth of the British climate is owing to the Gulf Stream was dis- cussed on Tuesday at the meeting of the Royal Geo- graphical Society. Mr A. G. Finlay read a paper, in which he maintained that it is not. Mr Finlay's argu- ment was that by actual measurement taken at the outcome of the Gulf Stream from the Gulf of Mexico, between Cuba and Florida, there was not a sufficient body of water to produce the effects attributed to the Gulf Stream. There was probably a great oceanic cir- culation in the Atlantic and in each of the other great oceans, which seemed to be corroborated by the great streams which flow northward from the Bahamas in the same direction, and parallel with, but distinct from, the Gulf Stream. Between Havana and Florida there was a high submarine mountain, which contracted the Gulf Stream to a third of its supposed volume, and it was impossible for the thin film which constituted the real Gulf Stream in the middle of the Atlantic to pro- duce any effect upon the English climate, which, how- ever, the great belt of warm trade winds passing over the oceanic currents would sufficiently influence. Mr Finlay's opinion was controverted by Captain Sherard Osborn and Professor Huxley, and Sir Henry Rawlin- son (who was in the chair), in summing up the debate, said he was glad to be able to retain some of his faith in the Gulf Stream. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.-Consumption prevented. -Influenza, colds, and fever are prevailing in our changeable climate. Though easily cured at first, when neglected they frequently induce serious diseases, of which the chief and most fatal is consumption. If Holloway's Pills be resorted to on the first appearance of any of these diseases, and if the symptoms be very urgent, his Ointment should also be well rubbed twice a day on the back and chest: they will cease to cause alarm, and consumptive tendencies will certainly be banished and the body, freed from all impurities, will be left in a healthier state than it was before the illness The Pills, being free from noxious ingredients of any kind, the most delicate and timid may harmlessly take them. Our supremacy in the matter of huge musical gather- ings is threatened. The American journals give some details of a projected Mammoth Jubilee" which may well cause astonishment even at the Crystal Palace. A building is to be erected on Boston-common by June next capable of seating an audience of 50,000. The orchestra and chorus will number respectively 1,000 and and 10,000, and their efforts are to be supplemented by the ringing of bells, firing of cannon, &c., from the conductive desk." Oratorio choruses and orchestral symphonies will form a staple of the week's programme, but the proceedings are to open with Hail, Columbia," sung by a special choir of 20,000 children. The minor details of this scheme are on an equally "tall" scale. Every great living composer is to be asked to contribute a piece, as well as to honour the festival with his pre- sence. Special invitations will be sent to the President and his Cabinet, to the governor of each State, to the chief officers of the army and navy, and to distinguished people generally not only in America, but also beyond the borders." To carry the affair through, a guarantee fund of 150,000 dollars is proposed, towards which the principal hotels in Boston have subscribed 1,000 dollars each. All this is likelv to please the sensation-loving American mind, but what good can come from a mere accumulation of noise ? The modern tendency towards music on a gigantic scale has long been thought mis- chievous. Nobody dreamed, however, of art being crushed beneath the weight of gun and bell metal. STATISTICAL PREDICTIONS.—An instructive paragraph appeared in the Registrar-General's return of the health of London for the week ending Saturday, February 6, to the effect that the expected number of deaths by violence in the streets of London is, in the present con- dition of their traffic, between 19 and 20 in five weeks." According to the return of the first five weeks of the present year, there was a loss of 21 lives by horse or carriage accidents in the streets of London, and it is found that on an average the experience of the past may be safely taken as an indication of what will happen in the future. This law of constancy which prevails in certain results has often been a subject of discussion among scientific authorities, and a good example of this remarkable law of regularity is afforded by the annual number of deaths from suicide. The fol- lowing results show the constancy of the ratios:—Pro- portion of suicides consummated to every 1,000,000 of the population of England and Wales, 1858.66:- Means employed 1858. 1859. 1860. 1861. 1862. Gunshot wounds 3 3 3 3 3 Cutting, stabbing 13 14 14 13 11 Poisoning 6 6 8 6 6 Drowning 10 11 n n 10 Hanging 30 27 30 30 30 Otherwise 4 3 4 5 5 All ways 66 64 70 68 65 Means employed: 1863. 1864. 1865. 1866. Gunshot wounds 3 3 3 3 Cutting, stabbing 13 12 12 13 Poisoning 6 7 7 6 Drowning 12 10 11 10 Hanging 28 27 28 25 Otherwise 4 5 6 7 All ways 66 64 67 64 It must not, however, be assumed that the tendency to a constant ratio is uncontrollable it is simply the natural effect of causes which admit of control. When the same causes exist the same effects may be antici- pated to follow, and an eminent statistical authority has shown that erroneous inferences are sometimes drawn from these remarkable laws. It has been assumed, for instance, that because numbers expressing events, such as suicide, succeed each other regularly year after year, that those numbers are perfectly correct; but this does not follow, for it has been found that the same law extends to errors, and it is quite possible, nay probable, that the number of suicides in England is understated, as some unknown numbers of the persons found drowned are suicides. The same causes invariably produce the same effects on the mind under the same conditions; but it does not follow from this principle that suicide cannot be brought under any control. A certain num- ber of lunatics destroy themselves-anything, there- fore, which prevents or cures lunacy diminishes suicide. Idleness, as much as strain of mind, predisposes to suicide; change the conditions and the disposition to suicide is changed. This constant ratio, therefore, which is observed under a variety of circumstances, and which has sometimes been attributed to chance or to fate, will only exist so long as the causes which produce the effects remain unchanged. According to the Registrar-General's returns it is found that 60 persons shot themselves in the year 1866 in England, and by virtue of this law, if it be assumed that the same number of persons shot themselves in each of the preceding years, the error will not be considerable for the num- bers were-58 in 1865, 65 in 1864, 56 in 1863, 54 in 1862, 59 in 1861 59 in 1860, 54 in 1859 and 60 in 1858 making the average annual number 58.3, from which the deviation is only about four either way. By virtue of this law any one may predict that-the circumstances remaining the same—58 persons now living will shoot themselve in the year 1869. In the nine years 1858-66, 224 pesons killed themselves annually by cutting the throat or stabbing themselves the numbers ranging in those years from 215 to 276- that is, from 39 below to 22 above the average. The number of suicides from poison was 119 in 1858, 128 in 1866 the number from drowning was 197 in 1858, 201 in 1862, and 207 in 1866 and the number from hang- was 570 in ) 858, 611 in 1862 and 522 in 1866. If tho causes therefore, which produce a constant number of deaths in the streets of London by carriage accidents can be partly removed, the mortality will no longer present such an iron regularity. The deaths in London from this class of street accidents averaged 200 per annum in the four years, 1865-68, so that, at present, it may be predicted with safety-the causes remaining the same-that 200 persons will be killed this year in London from the same causes. Much of this lamentablo sacrifice of human life is occasioned by carelessness on the part of drivers of vehicles; a check would, perhaps, be put upon reckless driving if the practice were adop- ted of summoning the owners of the vehicles which caused the accidents, instead of the drivers.
