The Compound Essence of Horehound is entirely com- posed of those roots, herbs, and vegetable substance which have a specific influence upon the lungs, and their con- nected organs. Its immediate effect is to allay irrita' ion, and gently remove phlegm and other morbid secretions from the throat and air passages, thus relieving the cough by subduing the inflammation and other causes which give rise to it. It also stimulates and imparts a healthy tone to the lungs themselves, thereby enabling them more thoroughly to remove from the blood those impurities and diseased particles which, if retained, do so much mischief in the system, and lay the foundation for incurable con- sumption.

EXTRACTS FROM RECENT PRESS NOTICES. The Yo kshire Chronicle of February 26th, 1881, says No one who has seen the Watches can fail to wonder at their marvellously cheap price and their superb workman- ship and indeed it is only by a most extensive trade that the system could be carried out, for the Watches are sold at less than the wholesale price. We should advise every one of our readers who has not a watch to apply before it is too late, and to all we would heartily beg to recommend the firm of Messrs Stewart Dawson <<: Co." The Bddf/elCater Uercury. March 2nd, Hisl, says: Several inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood who have obtained Gold and Silver Lever Watches from the firm of Messrs Stewart Dawson and Co. appear to be well satisfiell with their bargains. Competent judges having pronounced them to be watches of first-class manufacture and marvellously cheap." The Primitive Methodist. London, 10th March, 15SI, says We have before noticed and recommended the ex- cellent watches supplied by Messrs Steward Dawson and Co., and have expressed our surprise at the prices at which which they are sold, £ 5 s Levers being offered for £ '1, and these are not only strong antl serviceable, but are well-made ami finished, and excellent timekeepers. 'I he numerous testimonials they have received and are receiving speak in the highest terms of their goods, and of the sitis faction they give The People's Journal, Dundee, February 26tli, 1S81, says: If thousands of unsolicited testimonials sent from all parts of Great Britain are to be accepted as a proof of the value of an articlthen Messrs. Stew.irt Dawson and Co. may safely be congratulated on the quality of the wares offered by t: em in our advertising columns." The Fermanagh Reporter, Inniskillen. February 2fith, 1881 siys: 'Local purchasers have spoken to us in high terms of Watches received by them from Messrs. Stewart Dawson and Co. The unique system on which this reliable firm works is easily explained." The Wiltshire Times, Trowbridge. of March 12th, 1881. says: "Small profits and quick returns seem to be the business motto of the well-known firm of watchmakers, Messrs. Stewart Dawson and Co., of Liverpool. Hundreds of testimonials sent to the firm testify to the high character of the goods they offer-mort over, in addition to receiving full value for his investment, every purch.ser of a wat-h receives a ticket entitling him to a free prize on the 30th June." The Newry Telegraph, Newry, February 2'!th 1881, says Tbe watches are of unsurpassed excellence as time: keepers. All the testimonials concerning them are of the same high character in praise of their merits. A perusal of them has led us to form the opinion that all who are anxious to secure a good timekeeper at a remarkably lew price, should at once send to Messrs. Stewart Dawson and Co., 121, Park-road, Liverpool." The Banffshire Journal Banff, N.B., March lst, 1881, says It is astonishing to observe the large number of letters of appreciation and thanks which have been sent to Messrs. Stewart Dawson & Co. from people in the northern counties of Scotland. The Belfast I .Vr w, Belfast, February '26th, ISsl, says: "Those who are wanting :t good Watch would do well to read the announcement of Messrs. Stewart Dawson It Co. Such inducements arc seldom if ever offered, and notwithstanding that the prices are much lower than us"ally churged, every purchaser, up to the 30th June next, will receive a free prize on that date." The Durham Chroni-.b: Durha.m. March 5th, ISSI, "The X5 5s English Levels offered by Messrs Stewart Dawson and Co. for £:i are undoubtedly perfect time- keepers, and can altogether be strongly recommended as a thoroughly serviceable and extremely cheap article.. Those desiring to secure a genuine bargain should make early application to the manufacturers." The DeV'Hi and Somn-xef Weekly News, Tiverton, March 10, 1881. says: The watches sold by Messrs Stewarl Dawson and Co. are of best workmanship, and splendid timekeepers The Wrexham Advertiser, March 5th, 18S1, says- "The letters and testimonials in recommendation of their watches are published in full, with addresses complete so that we feel confident they are genuine. To those who are about to buy a watch, we cannot do better than to recommend them to write to Liverpool for a copy of Messrs Stewart Dawson and Co.'s pamphlets and judge for themselves.

FOOTBALL NOTES. The following, by an esteemed correspondent, was received last week, but too late for insertion in our issue of Saturday On Monday last the Scotch football players had an opportunity of showing their best tactics, without being frustrated by the boisterous salutes of Boreas, who, on the two former occasions on which the Caledonians honored Wales with a visit, was most blustering in his attentions. The play of in his t?tezit i ,)zjs. 'I l ie 1))zty of the Scotch forwards on Monday %va. a si. it not soon to be forgotten by lovers of the game. The combined action, unselfish crossing, and steadiness of play were points which it is hoped their opponents will take 1 note of and profit by. The back supporters were in superb form, and Vallance and Watson should be | looked to as models by young players for coolness and judgment in playing the ball. A point in the Scotch play which Welsh players would do well to imitate is technically ctlle(I baeking-up," and the play of Smith and Harry McNeil in this respect was most effective, and it should be noted that they belong to the same club, and most likely have for the past season played together in that position. The mann -r in whicn the Scotch forwards surrounded the opposing goal for a final rattle was a lesson to laggard players, and it was interesting to hear them coach and instruct the one in possession, while in full run. It was noticed on one occasion that the ball was passed from right to left all along the line, and S nith, not seeing a sure chance, sent it back to McNeil, who put it through. The play of the Wel-li team, although much inferior to that of their more experienced antagonbts, was a decided improvement on previous international attempts, and the fact that they put the ball twice through the Scotch posts shows that they are improving, for the northern goal used to be as far off, figuratively, AS "John o' Groats." The Welsh team might have been made stronger, but it would be invidious to mention positions where undoubtedly nli did their utmost. It is to be hoped that none but I Welshmen wi!! be allowed to play in future inter- national matches. The Scotch Association will not under any circumstances send a man to represent the "land o' cakes" who is not a Scotchman. I

THE FINAL TIE. This interesting event is fixed to be played to-day (Saturday), at Wrexham, and if the weather is favor- able a large number of the lovers of the game will come together to witness the tinal struggle for the possession of the Welsh Football Challenge Cup. That the game will be a hard fought one goes without saying, as bHth teams have forced their way to the front by dint of hard practice and determination. The Druids, the present holders of the cup, are cer- tain to put a strong team in the field, and if the back positions are filled by the best men, the sturdy little Stars will have to he uncommonly smart in their evolutions to wrest the prize from their experienced opponents. The Stars play a steady plodding game. and are quick in finding out the weak points in the enemy's lines. The goalkeeper, Hibbott, is a noted player, quick, adroit, a skilful strategist, and very difficult to pass. The wing players are good dribblers, very fast, and pass well to the centre, where Gittins is sure to make most of his chances. For precision of kick and coolness under fire the full backs are inferior to none in the Association, and the sturdy Tom Price as a half-back is a strong, plucky player. They who expect the game to be one-sided will in all probability be disappointed, and it is to be hoped that the teams may have every fair play, and may the best players win. FOOTBALL FIXTURES.

CHESTER ELECTION INQUIRY. REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. The report of the Chester Election Commissioners, dealing with the election of 1880, was issued on Tues- day. The Commissioners give an account of the formation of the Chester Liberal Association, and the subsequent joint arrangement between Messrs. Dodson, Lawley, Salisbury, and Moss for the sever- ance of the candidates and their agents from that body. The Commissioners observe that a notion seems to have been abroad in the city that, this sever- ance having been completed, the Association might bribe and treat without endangering the seats of the candidates. The Liberal party, they s?y. was fully convinced that Mr Raikes' return in 1874 was ?r?atly owing to the election being ?ta?Vt*d very much in many respects, and this conviction produced a deter- mination that at the n- xt election this should not occur again. The dissolution of Parliament found the two parties arrayed in bitter hostility; the Rhyl trip and Mr Raikes' meetings in 1879 had irritated the Liberals, while the personal canvass by Messrs Dodson and Lawley, when Mr Raikes was unable through official duties to leave London, had ir. itated the Con- servatives. The report then comments on the system pursued as to accounts and payments, which is described as the silent system, and as opening the door to unlimited corruption. A correspondence took place between the ag^nt. Mr Salisbury, Lord Richard Grosvenor, and Mr Dodson on the subject of a total sum of C2,000, all spent upon the elections of 1874 and 1880, as Mr Salisbury says, but not provided for in the published accounts. Corrupt practices did ex., tensively prevail in the general elections of 1880 and 1874. Mr Salisbury applied to Lord Richard to help him in the matter, but the latter declining to inter- fere, Mr Salisbury then wrote to Mr Dodson, saying Mr Moss had told him he had" seen Lord Richard Grosvenor, who, with another friend, yourself, I understand, had authorised him to tell me they would be responsible in honor for 9800, if I could in- duce Mr William Brown, as treasurer of the Liberal Association to pav these accounts." This, Mr Salisbury says, Mr Brown did on his (Mr Salisbury's) assurance that he would be repaid, and Mr Salisbury therefore appeals to Mr Dodson, who, however, replies that Mr Lawley and himself could not recognise the expenditure in question, and declar- ing he knew nothing of any such undertaking as men- tioned by Mr Salisbury. Further letters passed, but the money has not been repaid to Mr Brown. The Commissioners then deal with the rival party organi- sation and the famous Rhyl trip, with respect to which they state they believe it was an indirect form of corruotinn. There was no attempt at severance be tween the Conservative Association and their candi- dates. The sum expended on the election of 1880, so RO far as the Commissioners can ascertain, was I E3,000 by the Liberals and 93,900 by the Conser- vatives. With respect to corrupt practices, the report observes that Mr William Brown was one of the principal sources of corruption, and rightly de- scribed himself as the milch cow of the Liberal party." On the Conservative side it was usually the chairmen of the districts who spent the money cor- ruptly. The great weapon of parliamentary warfare at Chester, however, was beer, and the party securing the public-houses secured the majority of votes. On both sides the returns of persons employed were thoroughly fraudulent. The commissioners regard the party organisations for dealing with the e lection funds as qualified evils. After fully considering the whole evidence, the commissioners find that corrupt practices extensively prevailed at the 1880 and 1874 elections. Long lists are annexed of bribers and bribed, the former including the mayor, twel ve town councillors, and three magistrates.

Yuur Sanitary Inspector has accompanied me on several occasions in se-rching for cau-es of infectious diseases, and rendered good services l.y- the free u-e of disinfectants, and in carrying out niy .nstructions. The general sanitary- condition of my district is good Milch has been dune by your Authority in the construction of main ilrainaue works, which has resulted in considerable bent fit, hut much still remains to be done in order to render the drainage of the thickly populated parts of the distiict the really effective system it was originally intended to be. Comparatively few of the large number of houses in Rhos. P nkey. Cefn. an,1 Ithosymedre have been connected A ith ihemain- sewers as yet, but beneficial results have been shown. Looking at the population ..f the pariali of Ruabnn, which is considerably more than the to%ti of tt'rextiam, and constant supervision required in the rt-moval of nuisances, providing water, inspecting meat, superintend- ing house drainage connections, and lUany other duties re- quired, I cannot help expies-ing all opinion that it would he decidedly to the advantage of the Sanitary Authority and the ratepayers generally, if a separate inspector of nuisances were appointed for my district. It is almost im- I)i)ssit)lv for the ,;tnitiLt-y iiit:,r,.vt-itteiit-i in this (iitriet to be carried out effectually uuder the exi.-tmg arrangement of having one sanitary inspet t.:t f..r the whole of the Union, a",11 respectfully tiu-t that my suggestion may re- ceive your consideration. My attention was drawn during the year to se/eral cues of -e ii ig diuasedmeat. Thd offenders were punished, and I itiji glad to state that their punishment has produced a good effect in the district. The water supply in itiv district is good, but there are many houses which I consider should be connected with the Water Company's mains. I am informed that notices have been served lately upon several owners to provide water tor their properties, and I trust these notices will be followed up. Kuabon village is in all improved sanitary condition, and much cleaner th:.n formerly. The extension of the tihos and Ponkev drainage works to Johnstown has been partially carried out during the past year, but some provision should be malic for draining the portion of the 1 roperty OIL the Cutter Hill side, in order that the stagnant water may be carritd away. 1 have nothing more to add. except to say that as hereto- fore I shall at all times exert my best tfforts to promote the health of my d strict, and 10 pi event the spread of any epidemics.- I have the honor to be your obedient servant, WILLIAM .IOXKS, Medical Officer of Health for Kuaboa and Erbistock.

The number of deaths registered isfilfl, as contrasted with in the year 187". In this number is reckoned 40 deaths which took place at the Workhouse, 'many of these cases being brought in from the Uroan District, and also from the Hural Sanitary Distr.ct of Kuabon. Of these laS were under one year, litz one and under five years, 4:1 five and under J5 years, ;J; 10 a d under t.5 years, 143 25 and under HU years, ltil fiO years and upwards. The average death rate on census f 1871 is 24 9 per ltlOO, but on estimated population to the middle of ISM) is 20 4 per 11100. This is 14twor than the ave age death rate of England ) and Wales. The highest death rate was in February, and I the lowest-in June ?nd Au?u-t. both these months being equal. Of these 84 were due to zymotic diseases. as com- pared with 102 in 1879. viz., measles 30, scarletina 37, diph- theria 2, whooping-cough 5, croup 4, typhus 1, typhoid I), fever of a doubtful character 2, total M. It will be seen from the above that measles and earle\ tina were t?e most prevalent and fatal of zvtu,,?ic Measles.—-A g -neral ep demic of this disease commenced in the month of April, and contiuu d for some months. It was rather a severe form of the disease, and caused, thirty deaths taking place in the follow ng t wnships Ksclusham Below 1, Miiiera :}, llrymbo 4, Gvversyllt 1. Broughton 7, Bershain 1M Worthenburr I. It commenced in the township of Hroughtou and spread to the adjoining townships of Iirymbu and Gwersyllt. and then throughout the whole district. This disease being chiefly amongst children it is very apt to be disseminated by them mixing together in seliooi-.i, &c.. and very little care being taken by parents to prevent its being spread either to or from their families, looking up 111 the disease as a tiningait-t ment which sooner or lat r they are bound to have. Iso- lation and disinfection were carried out as far as practic- ahle but the disease continued more or less until the month of October, when it abated. AitilOUg h.. ma-v seeti a large number of deaths from this c .use,vet it is a very small per centage upon the number of children attacked. I Sca)-lati,ta.-Tliis tlise.,se which raged during the year, IS71I, and caused fiO deaths, continued during the whole of the past year and although not so fatal caused 37 deaths taking the numbers together for both years, they give a total of ninety s-ven deaths from this one form of Zvmotic Disease. Thirteen took place in the tow. ship of Brymbo where it has been prevalent during nearly the whole of the past year, and may almost be said to be endemic. Being a lar_e and populous district, the disease I fear is dissem- inated by f-chool agency, and the ignorance and careless- ness of parents. It is to be hoped that the extensive sys- tem of sewerage when completed in the township will tend to lessen or remove the prevalance and fa.taUty of Zymntie Diseases The other deaths took place in the fol- lowing townships Esciu?ham Below 1, Minera 4, Stansty ?. GwersyIIt 5, Bosham :3 Burton 1, Ksclusham Above 3, Suttou 1, Erthig 1, Abenbury Fawr 2, Illtal 117. In March a serious out-break of this dise.?e took place at Abenbury Fawr, at a farm house near Pimryd Mill and a Cottage at Ithyd-vider at the former there were four cases, one fatal at the latter, four, one also proving fatal. The ca-es at the cottage were of a -erious form, no doubt due to the overcrowded state of the house I considered it necessary to remove some of them to the Fever Wauls at the infirmary. Four cases also appeared at the same time at Sutton Given and Bowling Bank, one proving fatal In the siiiv* month several cases of scarlet fever and sore throat oc. urred at the workhouse schools it is no' clear how the di-ease founll its way to the schools, but it is not t.) he wond red at, when it had been all round the district for some time, and the frequency with which these children go in and out of the Workhouse. We had ample means of isolation, hy which tiie disease was prevented from spread- ing. All the cases reco.ered. In June an outbreak took place at a farm at Erlas. of a very serious and fa al form Tnere were four cases, three out of the four proving fatal. The first case was a girl who had been living in Chester and came home suffering from the disease, the other three taking it from her. Some of these cases were also removed to the Infirmary fever wards. The disease did not spread from the o .e house. In Sep- tember, another outbreak of this disease in a very malignant form took place at a house at Llanllyn a small village in the township of Gwersyllt. five cases in this house, four ending fatally, the remaining one was removed to the Infirmary fever wards, and recovered, and although every means w is used to stop the di-ease yet it spread to another house adjoining three cases occurred, but they having better means of isolation, itc., recovered. We succeeded in preventing any further spread in this village. We are unable to clearly point out how tiie disease came into this place. There is no doubt but that the scarlet fever is the most fatal and at the same time the most difficult disease to manage, both from its highly contagious nature and the I difficulty of obtaining proper isolation, and there is very little douht but hat the great fatality is due to the over- crowded and badly ventilated state of the houses. There are few diseases which require for their successful treatment a larger supply of fresh air, and it cannot be oittt ned in the houses of the poor. It is not unusual to find several children suffering from this disease confined in one badly j ventilated room, breathing and re-breathing an already- poisoned atmosphere. When there 7tre. several bad cases in a small apartment imperfectly ventilated, the poi son be- comes denser and more virulent, and conversely, when there is a single case in a large well Tenti!ated apartment the poison is diluted and its virulence le3Sened It is often wonderful to mark the improvement under these circumstances, when removed to an airy and well ventilated II room or ward. Early isolation is the only means of pre- venting the spread and lessing the fatality from this I disease which can only be done by removal to a hospital for that purpose. Diphtheria —There have been only two deaths during the year, one at Brymbo, the other at Minera, but the disease appeared in a sporadic form ill different townships, but did not spread to any extent, and no doubt due to some local cause. Typhoid Feve),Tliree deaths occurred during the year from the above disease --one at Gwersyllt, one at Broughton the other at Holt. These occurred as isolated cases and no doubt due to some local cause. In October rn outbreak took place at a village (Kliosnessney) in the towship of Acton. There were ten cases, It first aopekred in a cottage where seven children were suffering from the i disease It is not clear how it had its origin, but it could be distinctly traced to have spread by contagion. All the I persons attacked recovered. Another outbreak took place in the same month at Hafodyb > ch in the township of Esclusham Below. Three cases occurred. It was distinctly traced to have spread from there to Cross Lanes, Bangor, ¡ where three cases occurred. It also spread to Bangor village where four cases occurred. They all recovered and the disease did not spread further. For s me years I held the opinion that typhoid fever is contagii)uli. ill-, every epidemic tends to strengthen that opinion. I believe it also originates de novo. Typhi's P, r,,r.-One death only has been registered dur- ing the year from typhus, viz.-at Penygelli, Bersham This is a very rare disease in this district, and I may said almost unknown. Whoop!Ill Cough.—Five deaths hive occurred 1 from whoopin2 coirrti, t»vo at Gwersyllt, one Jit Jlrouijliton, and two at Ban-'or This disease like measles, is often regarded as a siinoie d'seise and treated with ndifference, and children are often sent to school before being properly well of the diseas a .d thereby spreading the mischief tliroug i the whole district Cro»p.—Four deaths have tv en registered from croup, one at Minera, two at llrymbo,, and one at Bersham.

Any owner who occupies a house, or causes or permits it to be occupied in 'contravention of this seCllOIl shall be liable 011 conviction by a court of Minimal y jurisdiction, to a penalty tiot exceeding tell ounds."

THE CLAIM TO THE HAKMER ESTATES. At the Hanmer Petty Sessions, on Saturday Charles James Haniner, of libyl, gentleman (who claims to be the heir to the llamoei- Kstate), and Jacob Samuels, also of llhyl, auctioneer, were Charged with having, on the 12th instmit, unlawfully placed themselves in the house of Major Sir 15. Hanmer, Bart., and rciuseti to leave, and w th con- ducting themselves ill a violent manner. '1 be de. fendant Hanmer was also charged with threatening Sir W. E. H ami ier in the words "If you witt send your flunkeys away 1 will have a turn with you and put you on your Lack" Mr liiooke appealed to prosecute, and the defendants were defended by Air Huberts, of lMiyl. Mr Brooke, in his opening re- marks, said the defendants, on the 12th instant, along with four other men who had been discharged, wt nt to the residence of the late Baron Hanmer, and forced themselves into the house, some going the front way and the rest to the back. The defendant llauuier had some insane idea in his head that he was the proper heir to the Hanmer estate. He did not take any legal steps to prove his claim, but committed one of the most outrageous acts of violence that anyone could be guilty of. He had with him a carptt-bag which contained shot and a powder- flask and when he was locked up he told Supt. Bolton that nothing the magistrates might do to him would prevent him from doing the same thing again, and that if he was hung he had two sons who would take the same line as he had done. He also said that he had not brought a revolver with him that time, but had left it at Chester. The defendant Hanmer might have been indicted for trial at the assizes, but Maj-)r Hanmer, having no desire to injure him. simply asked for him to find substantial bail as a guarantee that the offence would not be repeated. Evidence of what took place at Bettisneld Park on the day in question was given at considerable length by Major Sir W. K. Hanmer and his son, John Baylin, lootman, and several of the other servants, and also by Supt. Bolton, who took the whole of the six men into cus- tody. For the defence Mr Roberts said he hoped the Bench would be lenient to the defendants, and allow them to go out on their own recognizances. If the case was sent to the assizes, Sir Edward would have to prove his title. The magistrates having deliberated, the Chairman said that the ease against Samuels would be dismissed; and in hopes that Hanmer would never repeat this kind of offence, they should simply have him bound over in the sum of £ o0 to keep the peace for six months. The hearing of the case lasted over three hours, and the precincts of the court were crowded.

» DEATH OF LADY LUSH. We extract the following from The Baptist newspaper of last week Our readers will receive with much sorrow the intelligence of the death of Lady Lush, which reached us shortly before going to press. Her ladyship, after a long illness, borne with much patience and cheerful resignation, breathed her lasc on Wednesday morning, a little before live o'clock. By her removal, which will be much lamented by a large circle of friends, the cause of Christ generally, and especially in connection with our own denomination, has sns'talned a great loss. As a member of the church at Regent's Park, of which Lord Justice Lush is an elder, her eervices were invaluable in nearly every department of Christian effort and especially has she been a blessing to hundreds of poor mothers in the neighbourhood, for whom during many years she has labored with a degree of self-sacrificing zeal and generosity which we have seldom seen equalled and scarcely ever surpassed. Among the members of the church her kindness and courtesy made her a general favorite, and the minister found in her one of the most efficient co-workers with which minister ever was blessed. Nor were her kind services confined either to her own church or her own denomination. Evangelical ministers throughout the country found both in her and the Lord Justice kind and sympathis- ing friends, and were frecluently entertained at their hospitable board. She was not only the treasurer of our Zenana Mission, but one of its most zealous and energetic supporters. In connection with the Haver- Htock-liill Orphan School she exerted a widespread and most beneficial influence and many an orphan in that and kindred institutions now lives to bless her memory. With a kind heart and liberal band, she was ready for every good work, and her affable and courteous manner rendered doubly grateful to those who received them the benefactions which she scattered abroad. In our next issue we hope to pre- sent a more detailed account of her life and works by one who enjoyed her friendship for many years, and knew her most intimately. Meanwhile, we cannot refrain from offering at once this brief tribute to her memory, and tending our most respectful sympathy to the members of the bereaved family. Her lady- ship, who was the eldest daughter of the late Rev. Christopher Woolacott, had reached her sixty-third year, having been born at Modbury, in Devonshire, in 1818, a short time before her father's removal to London.

THE LATE MISS HELEX GLADSTONE.—In the Probate Court, on Wednesday, application was made on behalf of Sir Thomas Gladstone and the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, for letters of administration as next of kin to the late Miss Helen Gladstone. Deceased had executed a will in 1852, but among her papers were found documents relating to a supposed will made three years later. It appeared, however, that the latter had not been completed, and his lord- ship therefore granted the application.
