He is the son of a farmer,who resides atCartmel, in this county, and was brought up and educated by Mrs. Rawlin,son, who is a lady of property and great respect ability residing in the neighbourhood. He was originally apprenticed to a cabinet-maker, but, from ill health, was unable to continue. A few years ago he was apprenticed to the defendant, Mr. Bell, who is a printer and stationer, in Cartmel, and he remained there till August in last year. He kept the stationer's shop, and had a book where he had to enter what he sold, and put the money in the till. He boarded in Cartmel, but went each night to his grandmother's, two or three miles off. Matters went on agreeably till the month of August, when there was a charge of embezzlement and felony against the plaintiff. The accusation, Mr. Watson said, was an extremely anxious one to the relations of the young man, because of his prospects in life, and whether he was to be branded as guilty or acquitted of this charge depended upon the result of the trial that day. The slander was contained in thisl i that Mrs. Bell had called on a Mrs. Copperthwaite, with whom the plaintiff boarded, and stated that they wished to see Mrs. Rawlinson, as the boy had taken 10s. 6d. out of the till. The circumstances respecting the 10s. 6d. were these. The defendant, Mr. Bell, was at the Liverpool assizes in August last, and was absent from Cartmel from the 11th to the 15th of that month. The boy had attended the shop during that time, and he had sold in all articles to the amount of 375. 7d. On the Monday, Mr. Bell took the money out of the drawer, and on the Wednesday asked the boy "did not Mr. Dodgson buy a pocket-book from you ?" The plaintiff' stated that he had, and stated that he had omitted to put it down. The defendant called his wife, and said to her " the money is gone again, and the book is . wrong." On this, the plaintiff left defendant's service, and never again returned to his employment. The plaintiff, Isaac Pearson, was called in support of the case. On cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, he admitted that his cash was 7s. short at Whitsuntide, and that he could not account to his master for the defi ciency. He also admitted having made presents to one or two friends of several small articles, such as penknives, pocket-books, &c., but he alleged that he paid for these with money allowed to him by his grandmother. He also admitted that he was in the habit of frequenting public houses. Mrs. Copperthwaite deposed to the fact of Mrs. Bell having called in on her, and saying that she wished to see Mrs. Rawlinson about 10s. 6d., which the plaintiff had taken from the till: Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, at great length, then addressed the jury for the defendants. He contended that no proof of slander had been given, for it could not be said that the conversation of Mrs. Bell with Mrs. Copperthwaite was anything but a friendly intimation of what was certainly a very suspicious circumstance. It was, he maintained, a privileged communication, and they would not have heard of the action that day but for the interference of an attorney. The two defendants were called in evidence, and Mr. Watson then replied, after which his lordship summed up. The jury then retired, and after an absence from court of about half-an-hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with one farthing damages. Mr. Aston applied for a certificate entitling the plaintiff to his costs. . _ His Lordship said that he had no power to do so. Some of the jury then observed that they had imagined the verdict would carry costs, and that if such were not the case they had given it under a misapprehension. His Lordship replied that, as the verdict had not been recorded, they might reconsider it. Mr. SeKjeant Wilkins objected, and his lordship took a note of the objection. The jury then again retired, and returned shortly after wards with the same verdict as before. LIABILITY OF INNKEEPERS. BEVERIDGE v. Bnoww.—ln this case, Alexander Beve ridge was the plaintiff, and William Brown the defendant, and the declaration stated that the defendant keeps an inn for travellers, that the plaintiff was received there with a writing case, containing money and valuables, and that the defendant did not keep it safely, but, on the contrary, it was stolen by some person unknown. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., with Mr. Henderson, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Attorney-General Knowles, with Mr. Millward, for ladefendant. Mr. Atherton stated the case. Alexander ;1111teridge, the plaintitZ is a traveller in the employ of Messrs. Robert Shiel and Co., wholesale confectioners, who carry on business at Edinburgh ; and the defendant, Wm. Brown, against whom the action was brought, is the land lord of an hotel in this town, which is called Brown's Temperance Hotel, in Clayton-square. The action had been brought to recover damages from the defendant in respect of a loss which occurred to the plaintiff, whilst he was a guest in the house of defendant, and whilst he had property there, which entailed upon the defendant the responsibility of making good to the plaintiff his loss. The facts of the case, the counsel said, were few and simple. For two years, till October last, the plaintiff had been in the habit of putting up at the defendant's house, and had been there he was instructed to say ten or twelve times. On the first of October, last year, on Saturday, the plaintiff arrived in Liverpool and went to the hotel of the defendant. He had with him a writing-case, a part of the contents of which formed the subject of action. He took it into the defendant's house, and put it in the place where he had been accustomed to put it on previous journeys. He saw it on the Sunday following, and on the evening of the Monday following ; but on the morning of Tuesday, the 4th of October, upon coming down stairs and inquiring for his writing-case, it was found to be missing. Beyond all doubt the writing-case had been stolen from the commercial-room of the defendant's house, for information being given to the police it was discovered. At half-past seven or eight o'clock on the morning of the 4th of October, a person who, it appeared, had been lodging at the house, went to the house of a Mrs. Swinnerton, who had lodgings to let in this town. The person had with him a writing-case, which turned out to be that of the plaintiff. He was left in the parlour, whilst Mrs. Swinnerton was engaged up stairs, and when she came down after some little time she found the person had departed, and he had left behind him a writing-case which had been opened. Mrs. Swinnerton sup posing that it might be the intention of the person to return took charge of the writing-case; but in a short time, feeling uneasy, she took counsel with friends, the writing-case was examined, and the name of the maker was found upon it. The matter was reported to the police ; the desk was forwarded to the plaintiff in Edinburgh, and when examined, it was found that a sum of £64 had been abstracted from it. Immediately on missing the writing desk, the plaintiff communicated his loss to the defendant. The defendant appeared to be about to commence a jour ney, and he received the communication with anger. He said he had often cautioned commercial gentlemen against leaving their writing-cases in the commercial room ; but the plaintiff stated that no such caution had been given to him. The whole question, Mr. Atherton said, resolved itself into a matter of law. With respect to carriers and innkeepers, the law of the country was peculiar, and im posed obligations which were not imposed upon persons who carry on other businesses. Neither of them, if they had convenience, could decline a guest or refuse to carry goods ; and the measure of his responsibility did not de pend upon any private understanding or bargain, but de pended upon the common law of the country, which dictated it in every case; and the law with respect to innkeepers was this, that the guest resorting to a house, and taking goods with him, was entitled to look to the innkeeper in the shape of an insurer • and if the goods were lost, in the absence of gross neglect, clearly proved and traced to the guest, the innkeeper was liable, although it might turn out that he himself, as in this case, had been the victim of dishonesty or robbery. The plaintiff was then examined, and Sullivan, detec tive officer. This dosed the case for the plaintiff, and rli•Mr. Attorney-General Knowles addressed the jury for. the defendant. He said he could hardly conceive a posi tion more perilous in which an innkeeper could be placed if he could be made responsible for the goods of a guest under such circumstances, as he would be the victim of plunder to any extent. No doubt, as a general proposi tion, an innkeeper was said to be an insurer ; but that went on the supposition that the party coming to the inn would use all reasonable care and vigilance, and that he should not be guilty of gross negligence, but take that care which a reasonable man should do. He submitted that the plaintiff, leaving his case where he had not proved that any traveller had left his money before, deprived him of all right to recover from the innkeeper. His Lordship, in summing up, said, no doubt an inn keeper was bound to receive as guests all who applied for whom he had accommodation. He was bound to protect their property in his house, but, at the same time, the guest must use ordinary and reasonable caution for the protec tion of his own goods. The question was, whether the plaintiff had been guilty or not of gross negligence, in not taking his money into his bed-room, after seeing, as it ap peared from the evidence, that he had two suspicious per sons in the house. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant, and The court then adjourned till 9 o'clock this morning. SHIPPING AND MERCANTILE MISCELLANY. GENERAL AVERAGE IN TRH UNITED STATES.—In a recent case before the Treasury department, where a " general average" contribution was claimed of the United States, it was held, that when property is thrown over board for the safety of the vessel, and it shall appear that the vessel was overloaded by the owner's agent from im proper motives, the entire loss of the property is charge able upon the shipowner, even if it were shipped to be carried on deck.—Boston Post. Tun TBLEGRAPII IN AMERICA..—The length of the telegraph lines in the United States exceeded 15,000 mile in 1852, and has since considerably increased. The mos distant points connected by electric telegraph in North America, are Quebec and New Orleans, which are 3,000 miles apart. When the contemplated lines, connecting California with the Atlantic, and Newfoundland with the main continent, are completed, San Francisco will be in communication with St. John's, Newfoundland, which is distant from Galway but five days' passage. It is there fore estimated that intelligence may be conveyed from the Pacific to Europe, and vice versa, in about six days. The cost of erecting telegraphs does not average more that £35 per mile throughout the United States. The charge for transmission of messages from New York to Washington, a distance of 270 miles, is 50c. (2s. ld.) for 10 words, and and sc. (20.) for every additional word. The charge to the press is ic. per word under 200 miles, 2c. between 200 and 500: and the New York papers, bearing the expense jointly, publish every day as much matter received by telegraph as would fill two columns of a London news paper. Commercial men use the electric telegraph in their transactions to a very great extent, and it is used by all classes of society as an ordinary method of transmitting intelligence. • Telegraph wires in towns are almost uni versally carried along the top of houses, or on poles erected in the streets, instead of being conveyed in pipes underground. So little difficulty is meet with, on the part of proprietors of houses, that telegraph lines are in some cases erected by private persons for their own particular use, As an instance may be mentioned the case of a large manufacturer in New York, who has an office in one part of the city, while his works lie in a contrary direction. In order to keep up a direct communication between both, he has erected a telegraphic wire at his own expense, and carried it over the tops of the houses intervening between his office and his works, having obtained, without any trouble, the permission of their various owners.—Mr, Whitworth's .Report (New York Indwitrifil Exhibition). THE BALTlC. — Nothwithstanding its extent, the Baltic has all the characteristics of a great lake. No sea has, in proportion to its size, so great an influx of fresh water ; hence it contains but little salt. In proportion to the North Sea, this is found to be as 194 to 373. The depth of the Baltic on the west is not more than 15 fathoms, and in general, it is only from 8 to 10 fathoms deep ; on the south it is nowhere more than 50 fathoms ; but towards the north it deepens to 100 fathoms. The Baltic receives the waters of the Niemen, Vistula, and the Oder, besides numerous lakes and small streams. The great -amount of sand and mud carried down by these rivers has considerably raised the bottom of this sea, and closed a e mouths of many of its navigable streams, so that shipswhich formerly entered these rivers must now be anchored at a considerable distance from their mouths. This, together with the nu merous islands and sandbanks, and the gradual upward movement of the bed of the sea at the rate of several feet in a century, renders navigation on the Danish shores of the Baltic troublesome and dangerous. It has no tides, or rather the effect of the tide is so little felt as not to be ob servable ; but is subject to changes of level, depending on the winds, retarting or accelerating the passage of the water through the Sound and the Belts. During winter this sea is usually frozen to a greater or less distance along thecoasts ; and in severe winters not only the Sound and the Belts, but a7great part of its surface, is covered with ice. The ancients were but slightly acquainted with the Baltic ; its shores, however, gave forth those hardy warriors who overthrew in its decrepitude the Roman empire, and laid the foundations of European States. Tatar. Pon ComsioN.—ln the Admiralty Court, on Friday, the case of the Edward Johnston v. the Wansfell, was heard before Dr. Lushington. The Edward Johnston, of 997 tons, bound from Liverpool to Mobile with a light cargo, and being in ballast trim, and the Wansfell, of about the same tonnage, from Bombay to Liverpool, laden with cotton, came into collision with each other near the Sker ries Lights at two a.m. on the Ist of December last. According to the statement of the Edward Johnston the wind was S., inclining to W., and she was sailing close hauled on the port tack, heading W.S.W , when she descried the Wansfell right ahead. She immediately luffed until her sails began to lift, and, perceiving that a collision would occur, put her helm down to ease the blow. She contended that the Wansfell had the wind free, well aft, and ought to have given way. The Wansfell represented the wind as being south-east, and alleged that she was close hauled on the starboard tack, heading north-east-by east. On the Edward Johnston being reported she instantly lulled, and came up a point and a half, but the Edward Johnston, instead of giving way, as she was bound to do, suddenly starboarded her helm, and thus caused the collision. Cross-actions were entered by the respective parties. The Judge, after calling the attention of the Elder Brethren by whom he was assisted to the principal points in the case, and having conferred with them, said they were of opinion, and he concurred with them, that the collision was occasioned principally by the conduct of the Edward Johnston. and that blame was also attributable to the Wansfell. There being cross-actions, and neither party having succeeded, each must pay their own costs. FATAL COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL. — The American ship Ann Kemble, Capt. Pike, entered Plymouth Sound on Friday afternoon, with five feet water in her hold, having been in contact, at half-past one that morning, with the barque Bonetta, belonging to Liverpool. The barque re gisters 267 tons, and was bound from Pernambuco (with sugar) for Hamburgh. She had been towed into Fowey; and left that port with the captain's wife on board on Wednesday evening. At the time of the disaster the Start bore S.S.E., distance 19 miles, wind N.E. by N., weather hazy ; she was under all her canvas, and had her port tacks on board; the helmsman mistook the Amercan's light for the Portland Light, and, when too late, ported his helm. The barque was struck on the bend of the port bow, and, being heavily laden, went down almost immediately head foremost. The master, W. W. Taw, mate, Richard Colings, and second mate, John Border, were the only persons saved. The American was of 1,000 tons burthen, and, being in ballast, was high out of the water, so that the barque's foreyard only reached the ship's bulwarks at the time of contact. The Ann Kemble was bound from Lon don to Cadiz, and was under courses, topsails, topgallant sails, mainroyal, jib, spanker, maintopmast staysail, on the starboard tack, steering west by north. Her stem is split, and woodends started, and she has gone up Catwater to repair. Eleven persons belonging to the Bonetta were drowned, viz.: Mrs. Taw, the master's wife ; James M`Do nogue, of Dublin, ship's carpenter ; Luke Kaney, of Wex ford ; Wm. Bird, of Newcastle ; Daniel Morris, of Fish guard ; and John Jones, of Liverpool, able seamen; Wm. Watkins, of Plymouth, steward ; _Daniel Lamb, an Irish man, ordinary seaman ; Edward Fergoe, of Liverpool; and Michael Wallace, of Dublin, apprentices; and Frederick, the ship's cook, of Bristol.

FATAL AFFRAY IN THE NoETH.—Last week a serious affair took place at Tullyallen, near Dungannon, the co tants being Orangemen and Romanists. The row commenced with two men, who, having had some drink, disputed about the merits of their respective horses; words were followed by blows, and ultimately the matter was made one in which party-feeling was manifested to a serious extent. In the course of the affray a Romanist was so seriously injured that he died on Saturday; and an Orangeman, who was taken to gaol in a cart, is not likely to survive, TIIE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA, according to the Limerick Chronicle, is proprietor of several stores and house con cerns in that city, purchased many years ago from Harman and Co., of London. INSULTING THE QUEEN.-At the Waterford. Police court, on Monday, Thomas_ Bergan, of Little Patrick street, was given in charge by two soldiers of the 40th Regiment, for having, on Sunday, the 12th inst., in a public-house, spoken disrespectfully of Her Majesty. He was fully committed for trial. PLAYING AT HANGING.—A few nights since a "wake" was being held in Rosslea, and, as usual in rural districts, was the scene of much merriment. Amongst other frolics, a mock trial was held on a young man for the abduction of a young girl. Judge, jury, counsel, prisoner, and pro secutor were all enacted, and a verdict of guilty returned. The prisoner was placed on a creel, with a rope noosed round his neck, and the other end . cast over a beam, and, unfortunately, secured; and, by some accident, the creel was kicked from under the man; he dropped, the vertebrae was dislocated, and instant death ensued.—Monaghan Standard. HORTICULTURE. Tars is the busy season for the amateur gardener ; the month of March usually stimulates the horticultural spirit as much as it excites the vital sap of the plants them selves. With amateur gardeners winter is generally a time of rest, or, more properly speaking, of neglect, and this month usually finds the garden in the same state in which it was left when November's cold, damp fogs effec tually extinguished, for the time, the horticultural fever. Activity is now required to recover lcist ground—digging, trenching, pruning, and everything else has to be done in a hurry. We will suppose these essential operations per formed, and a number of herbaceous plants purchased at the nursery to fill up the gaps made by the winter in the flower-borders, the hardy annuals may now be sown if the garden is well sheltered ; otherwise, a little delay is advis able. A great number of this class of plants are worth less, for, however pretty their individual flowers may be, the clumps have a straggling weedy appearance, which rather disfigures than improves the arrangement of well kept borders. Sweet Peas, Mignonette, Nemophila in signis, and other old favourites must not be forgotten. Clarkiapulchella; Bartoniaaurea, Sphcenogyne speciosa, and Eryssimum Peroffskianum, are also good sorts, and easily grown. In the kitchen garden a crop of cabbage plants (early York or Enfield Market) should be planted out ; early Warwick peas and Longpod beans sown ; also a small crop of Spinach and the various kinds of salad vege table. The main crop of potatoes should also be planted without delay. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT 11IANBESTER.-FRIDIY. There has been very little doing this week.

MANUFACTURES MANCHESTER.—With increased dulness there has, this week, been a more decided weakness in prices than we have hitherto had to record. No concessions would ap pear sufficiently tempting to induce operations, which have throughout the week, been of the most limited character. ' Money is extremely scarce, and the result of this stringency is, that buyers are exceedingly cautious not to extend their indebtedness too much • and this is a principal cause of their present inaction. Producers find ing themselves in the position of working for stock in stead of to supply a demand, begin seriously to consider the propriety of decreasing the extent of their productive power, by a recourse to the working of short time. This feeling is more apparent amongst manufacturers than spinners, the demand having been more limited, and prices comparatively worse with the former for some time ; never theless, the absence of any free demand for home manu facture is begining to tell upon the spinners also. It is a difficult matter to say whether the yarns or goods have been the dullest. Prices for both are lower and very . irregular. BRADFORD.—WooI : Inactivity still prevails, and prices are almost nominal. Noils and brokes continue in request. —Yarns : The state of political affiairs causes the shippers to suspend their operations, and the demand for spools continues languid. Pieces.—The stocks held by the merchants are generally light, and, should the demand improve as the season advances, we may hope for more ex tended operations. LEEDS.—We have no change to report in the state of the market. There has been about the usual amount of business done in both cloth halls. NOTTINGHAM.—There is no improvement in either the hosiery or lace trades. The decreased amount of export will account for much of the present depression, as merchants seem unwilling to send out anything on con signment, and confine themselves to business alone for which they have positive orders. The prices of yarn is again the turn in favour of the purchaser. PACKET LIST. Mails de- Last Next Destinations. spatched from Packet Packet London. Sailed. Due. ---- - -- PHA:UPTON STATION.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 24.—The depression continues at to-day's market—wheat is offered irregularly, but very little business has been practicable even at a reduction of 4d to 6cl per bushel from Tuesday's currency. Flour is again pressed for male, and purchases might be made is 6d to 2s per barrel lower ; there are orders to some extent in the market, but buyers have not operated freely, though some parcels have been taken to hold over, and there is rather more consuming demand. Barley and beans are severally is per quarter cheaper. Oats are without inquiry, and nominally somewhat lower in value, and in oatmeal we have scarcely any transactions at a decline of is per load. Of Indian corn a fair quantity was taken for export at 2s per quarter reduction. BRITISH. FOREIGN. Wheat, 701 b., s. d. s. d.

Wheat was offered at a decline of 4d to 6d per bushel ; flour 2s per sack and barrel; oatmeal is per load; beans is per quarter; and oats ld per bushel. - - - WAKEFIELD, MARCH 24.—The arrivals have been moderate. The wheat trade continues very inactive, and we quote all descriptions fully 2s per quarter lower than last week. Barley was in limited request, and receded in value. Beans declined is to 2s per quarter. Oats, shelling, and other articles were quiet and without change.—Wheat, 6,20 Q; barley, 2,878; oats, 220. WISBECH, MARCH 25.—We have a very small show of wheat here to-day. The prices in the consuming markets being below ours, little or no business was done ; farmers would not submit to take less than from 67s to 70s, 601bs. to 611bs. per bushel; in fact two or three hundred quarters would have cleared the market. Beans and cats were each is per quarter cheaper, CATTLE. LIVERPOOL, MAncn 27.—A large supply of beef, and trade very dull, at Id. per lb. decline from last week Mutton met a dull sale, although the supply was limited and we must quote a decline of Id. per lb.

Beef rated from 50s to 51s, and top lots 60s per cwt. sinking offal ; mutton, 6/41 to 72c1 per lb. ; veal, 9d to 9fd do. per lb, all sinking offal; lambs, 20s to 24€ each. We noticed an increased supply of one, two, and three years old lean young cattle, which seemed to sell slowly from the prices demanded. The pig market also was crowded with light half-finished kinds—those fit for the knife brought 46s to 47s per cwt. Demand good for England. Pork, 514 per lb. PROVISIONS, LIVERPOOL, MARcu U.—The market for beef main tains great firmness, and sales to a full average extent are reported for the week. The stocks in the hands of the dealers are light, and the imports to this date show, as compared with last year, a falling off over 10,000 tierces. Pork is very firm, with prices rather in favour of sellers. The demand for bacon is slow, and holders have given way about is per cwt. Shoulders and hams are wanted. Sales of lard on the spot and to arrive have been made at 535, but in consequence of the advance in tallow sellers now ask 54. The season for American cheese is now over. MARCIE 27. There has been a good demand for butter of all descriptions since our last report, and prices of the finest qualities have advanced 2s to 3s per cwt. The dealers have bought a fair quantity for consumption, and speculators have taken a few parcels to hold over, The market is firm at the quotations. Waterford, Carrick, and Clonmel, 104 s to 108 s ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 103 s to 107 s ; Belfast, 100 s to 102 s ; Limerick, 96s to 98s ; Sligo, 96s to 99s ; and pickled Cork gds, 100 s per cwt. landed.

A broken cargo of Quebec pine, 45 feet average, has been sold to the trade at 2s per foot from the yard.

The low price of deals, compared with that of timber in the log, will ensure a demand for this description of wood, and the stop to the supply from the Baltic, which last year was 1,326,325 loads, against 1,204,029 loads colonial, or equal to 59 per cent. of the whole supply, is materially enhancing the value of present stocks.

Mrs. Heppe], of Blyth, near Morprth, was afflicted with a dreadfully bad leg, for which she consulted the most eminent medical men in that neighbourhood, but it would not yield to their treatment. Her health suffered severely, and the state of her leg was terrible; the ulcers rapidly increased in size, and the pain was most agonising. In this state she com menced using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and after con tinuing them for some short time the leg was completely cured, and she is now in the enjoyment of excellent health Mr. Wilkinson, druggist, Blyth, vouches for the accuracy o his statement. BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PlLLS.—Extract of a letter, written by John Mollard Wheeler, Esq., collector of customs, Jamaica, having been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout, for publication :—" I know you have never 1111;i occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me empha tically tell you, in mercy to any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy ;, not only tun I personally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing 'benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether; , if in a later, they alleviate pain, and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."—Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by all respecta ble medicine vendors throughout the united kingdom.

THE TEEM—A new and very curious invention con nected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. Howard, of 17, George-street, Hanover-square, London; it is the production or an entirely new description of Artificial Teeth, fixed by his new patent system of self-adhesion and capillary attraction, without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble natural teeth, as not to be dis tinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation what ever, and from the nature of the materials used, the most perfect fit is obtained, and they are guaranteed to restore ar ticulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should avail themselves of Mr. Howard's skill as a dentist.
