MORE MACADAMISING.—Charles-street, we ob- serve, has new followed in the wake of Hope- street, High-street, &c., having had the pavement taken up, and the road relaid ac-ording to the most approved principles of John Macadam. The trades- men of the town appear to differ in opini311 as to the advantage or disadvantage of laying down the streets after this mode. The only advantage we cpuld ever see in the plan is, that there is less noise from the vehicles which pass along while on the other hand, the macadamising plan, either in extreme dry weather, or extreme wet weather, un- less well watered or well scraped, renders the streets nearly im passable. SUDDEN DEATH.—Mr, Charles Brown, cooper, son of Mr. John Brown, in the employ of Mr. T. Williams, brewer, Bridge-street, Wrexham, died on Wednesday morning last, very suddenly. He was taken poorly en Monday last, and continued so during Tuesday. On Wednesday morning he went into his father's yard, but on his return into the house he became very ill, and died delirious shortly afterwards. He was a young man in the prime of life, being only 24 years of age. HONESTY.—On Monday week, as a youth named James Rogers, in the employ of Miss BenDion, of Wrexham Fechan, was proceeding up the lane which runs at the back of Mr. Edgworth's to the Erddig valley, he found a sovereign on the road. He picked it up, and with very commendable hon- esty took it at once to his mistress to whom he told how he came by it, and where he found it. Oil the following day, a little boy, employed by the Rev. J. H M. Luxmoore, of Marchwiel, called at Miss Bennion's to inquire about it, when it was at once given up to him. He had been sent the pre- vious day by Mr. Luxmoore with some money to Mr. Thomas, of Brynnewydd, and boy-like, being curious to look at it, he undid the parcel, when the sovereign must have slipped out ill the lane. Having seen a dog in the lane, belonging to iliss Bennion he remembered the circumstance, and thought it just possible that some one might have been with him and picked it up. As it happened, he was right in his conclusions, and as we have stated, received the sovereign back again. The conduct of the youth Rogers is beyond all praise, and speaks well for his steiling honesty of charac- ter, as well as good sense, for honesty after all is the best policy. DISSENTERS DELINEATED BY AN EX-DISSEXTER —The following list IIf choice epithets and phrases- have been selected at random from a tirade, written by a native rhymester, and published on Thursday last, against Gresford Ladies Club;- Vilf Dissenters Pare their Claws Despicable Faw Feed their Spite Turned their eyeballs in- sitle out Revei t, fee simple, to the devil Roundheads A canting contradictory; set Turn theirsnoutsto west When these creatures (the Dissenters) trans- migrate, they'll go into Swine lhrash them might and main behind But drat them Beetle forehead, turned up nose and figure like a tub A cross grained ugly beast FALLING OUT OF A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—When the excursion train which left Wrexham for the Wrekin, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham, on Monday last, was returning from Birmingham, one of the excursionists, who had not kept within the bounds of teetutal sm, fell out Of the carriage, and had a narrow chance of being run over by an express train which passed just at the time. Only tor the promptness of Mr. llushton we think his death would have been inevitable. THE INCORPORATION.—The first instalment for obtaining a Charter of Incoporatioll was forwarded to London on Thursday last, amounting to L250. Tuis we understand, is ab, ut one third ot what the who.e expense will be. The sum was raised by private gentlemen of the town, but of course the money will have to be repaid to them by a rate on the inhabi- tants. Perhaps our townsmen will uow believe that the Charter is a reality-at least they will not doubt it when the money is to be repaid. BOWLING GREEN.—We are given to understand that a challenge has been received from the Chester club and accepted by this. Friday (yesterday) was the day proposed on which to play the match on this Green, but it seems that day would not suit the Chester players, and, as there are so many club anniversaries to be celebrated in Wrexham in the week, the match is postponed until Tuesday week, when, if nothing hapenns to prevent it, the match will come off. It is perhaps superfluous forus to say that we heartily hope our own club may be sue cessful on its own ground again. A LEGAL" PUN.-Thc action Sherrat v. Piecte which was heard in the County Couit, on Tuesday last, before E. L. Richards, Esq., was to recover damages for a certain number of fowls, the pro perty of the plaintiff, and which had been shot by the defendant. The case from several causes gave rise to much pleasantry, and after awarding the plaintiff os. damages instead of 40s. as claimed his Honour, jocosely remarked, that it was cet tain- ly a very poultry (paltry) case. --+-=: -0-
