PRESINTATION.—The Rev. E. (.. Austen, who has for
some two or three yews Nen curate of this and the
adjoining parish of From, Rt. Quinton. was on Saturday
presented with a magnificent gold watch, subscribed
for by the inhabitants of Evershot, and a pencil case,
bought by the scholars of the Sunday schools, while the
parishioners of the sister parish subscribed for and
purchased a very useful dressing case, which were pre-
sented by Mr. A. Martin at • luncheon party assembled
for that purpose. Mr. Austen resigned his duties in July
last, and it was intended to have made the presentation on
the occasion of the school anniversary, but circumstances
prevented him from coming just then. As actions speak
louder than weeds, It is needless to enlarge on the subject,
but just say that Mr. Austen has left this his first curacy
with the love and esteem of all, rich and poor alike, and
with the desire of the inhabitants that God may be with
him and bless his labours in the great metropolis whither
he has gone to labour.

OXFORD BI!AtFKOUARDISII,

The ann.:Li-own and doTs;iii rows at were
renewed on Monday evening, despite the precautions
taken by the University and City authorities. There
was, however, no damage done, with the exception ot
numerous broken heads, the pruceedinips of the
opposing bodies being confined to street fighting.
The principal thoroughfares were in turmoil until the
Proctors went round, soon after nine o'clock, and
sent the Undergraduates into college. In view of the
expected distices, the soldiers at the military
centre had been confined to barracks, and the police
force had been augmented. Some slight coffiden
between the gownsmen and townsmen occurred in
Cambridge on Monday mght, but otherwise the
anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot passed off with
comparative quietude.

ELECTION Or MAYOR.

Although there had been rumours that at least
four gentlemen would be nominated, it proved in the
end a very hollow affair.
Alderman Cows very briefly proposed, Mr. T.
Hessen as briefly seconding, the election of Alderman
Lock as Mayor.
No one else being nominated no division was taken,
awl accordingly Alderman Lock is the Mayor for the
ensuing year.
He thanked the Council for the honour conferred
upon him, and expressed a hope the business would
be transacted in a gentlemanly manner and without
personalities.
The next business was the appointment of the corn-
mittee, who were then elected.
On the motion of Mr. BENNErr, seconded by Mr.
GREGORY, it was resolved unanimously to change the
day of the monthly meetings from Wednesday to
Monday, and the hour from 10 to 10.30.
The recently appointed Wallas Committee reported
they had made an inspection of the avenues, and
instructed the surveyor to remove several dead trees
and to plant three saplings.
' A letter from Messrs. Andrews and Pope was
I received. While, as they said, they hail every wish
to meet the convenience of the Council as far as they
could consistently do so, they stated they would feel
obliged by the early possession of that portion of the
fair field held under them at present by a monthly
tenancy. It was agreed to relinquish possession at an
early date, and to inform the auctioneers and other
parties concerned that the sales of stock would in
future take place on the new fair and market ground—
Beggars' Knap.
Mi. HAZEL said the last time the new fair field wsts
used Mr. Symonds had not sufficient accommodation
from the want of hurdles; 500 sheep had to be all
mixed together,
The MAYOR read a reply from the Treasury Office.
The letter, dated October 19th, stated the Lords Com-
missioners of Her Majesty's Treasury had thought it
neccessary to consult Mr. (Mutton again on the
question of Beggars' Knap, and they hal directed that
• copy of his report and plan be forwarded therewith
to the Council.
After a lot of talk farther discussion on the subject
was adjourned.

undertaking. The drainage works were now all finished
with the exception of the Mouth-bridge, owing to waiting
for the iron work, but it would be finished before the end

that the ,hest thanks of the Council be given to Mr.
Emson for the trouble he had taken, and for the good
will and disinterestedness" he had displayed while in the
chair. During the whole of his mayoralty Mr. Hinson
had endeavoured to do what he considered would be
most conducive tri the good of the town. (Applause).

Five of the rioters were apprehended.

A THIEF CORRECTING A JUDGE.

James Edwards was, at the Middlesex session., on
Monday, sentenced by fierjeant Cox to five years
penal servitude for attempted watch robbery.
Prisoner sad: What I five years for attempting only?
Yer can't do it. —The prisoner was removed, but was
afterwards placed in the dock—Serjeant Cox: I find
Edwards, that you were convicted of attempting to
steal only, and not, as I supposed, of stealing.—
Prisoner : Didn't I tell yer so when you sentenced me,
and that yer couldn't give me five years.—Serjeant
Cox :I am sorry I can't. I will, however, give you
the most the law allows me and that is two years' im-
prisonment with hard labUur.—Prisoner : That is a
avuag of three years.

THE BLACKMOOR VALE HOUNDS.

These hounds have done a lot of cubbing, unusual out-
cries from geese and hens having been beard this summer.
Thirty-eight times they have been out, have found about
74 litters, killed 10 brace of cubs, and run nine and a half
to ground. This list means severe work for horses, '
hounds, and men, particularly as the scent was very bad
Indeed till the first week in October. when a fortnight it
was very good. In spite of this those who can judge say
that the pack never looked better or more fit to go through
the season well. Orbs,ll, from the Craven, is now hunts-
man, in place of old John Press, who, though far from
well, is comfortably off, thanks to the generous way in
which all his old friends responded to the call for • well-
earned testimonial. Tom Jordan is still first whip, and
Jim Reynolds, from the New Forest, second. On Mon-
day. 30th. the season began with • meet at the kennels.
A fine day brought a good field together to hail the coin-
! menoeinent of fox-hunting. The kennels contain 50 and
• half couple of hounds, thJ stables It horses for the
huntsman and whips. Orbell, the huntsman (whom some
remembered as the smart little whip of 13 years ago on
Grey Wilfred), brought out the dog pack and took them
up to the Slater Gorse, close to where the Bth Hussars and
17th Lancers had their camp last summer. Here a fox
was quickly found, but soon got to ground. A second was
Won away from Stowel Plantation. and the hounds ran
him prettily over the grass by Charlton Gorse to Charlton
Wood, where, unfortunately, he got to ground. Cheriton
Wood soon provided another, which after some little
time went away for Tenant's Wood and on to the Maper-
ton earths, over the road for Holton, but being heat he
turned hack to Maperton House, where, to the great joy
of the masons at work, the hounds ran into him-
-Ih. 10m1n.—an old dog fox. Next Compton Wood was
drawn, and again a fox was quickly away for Littleton
Hill and }Holman, where he was killed. Orbell thus
accounted for all the foxes found—running one brace to
ground and killing another—not • had pm formance on a
bad scenting day, and giving good promise of the,sport
his patience and quickness are likely to show. When the
leaves have fallen foxes go straight, and the Blackmoor
Vale is in order for a real good 50min.

SWALLOWING THE LEEK.

A RECORDER'S APOLOGY TO A MAYOR.
At the Oxford City Quarter Sessions on Monday
morning, the Recorder, Mr. W. H. Cooke, Q.C., was
unable to be present " through unavoidable circum-
stances," and Dr. Adams, who officiated at his request
as deputy, read an apology from Mr. Cooke with
reference to strong language used by him at the last
quarter sessions towards the mayor and magistrates.
Dr. Adams said the Recorder had anthorised him to
express to the mayor that, owing to a misunderstand-
ing on his part as to the position of the mayor in that
Court, he had made use of some expressions—
particularly of the word "servant," which were
Inconsistent with the dignity of the office of mayor.
He now withdrew all observations which referred
thereto, and expressed his regret that he should have
used them. With regard to his observations on the
magistrates, he also stated that he had no intention of
alluding to them as being servants to the court, or in
any objectionable manner; and that he had no inten-
tion of lowering the dignity of either magistrates. The
Recorder bad been informed that the mayor had said
that his conduct was an intentional insult to the
citizens, but on his referring to the mayor he was
assured that he had made use of no such expression.
The business of the court was then proceeded with.

OXFORD LODGING-HOUSES.

The Dean of Chichester hae addressed a pamplet to the
resident senior members of the University, on the dangers
of the lodging-house system.. Mr. Burson says the system
now prevailing is "simply Immoral," =desserts that " at
the beginning of term. lodging-house keepers hire very
young girls from the neighbouring villages, with or with-
out character', to wait upon their undergraduate lodgers,
give them merely nominal wages, allow them unbounded
liberty, and instruct them to obtain of their lodgers what
gratuity they can at the end of term. Girls so hired are
for the most part of • type which no lady would admit
into her household. I,Vn long varation begins they are
dismissed. He contends that the very fact of young men
being waited upon early and late by such persons,
removed from all restrainta and screened from observation,
must needs be in a high degree demoralising, cannot fail
to lead to mischievous consequences. Sometimes the
system leads to the very worst.

TIER LATE STORM: ACCIDENT TO A
SERVANT-MAID.
On Thursday evening, about six o'clock, a severe
storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied with
heavy downpours of rain mingled with hail, broke
over the town. It continued for about an hour, and
then gave way to the moonlight, making its way
across the western portion of the county, the lightning
occasional flashing up till 10 at night. The domestic
of Mrs. Katharine Seymer (a relation of Sergeant
Apeey, of the Weymouth police), of Foraingtou, was
sitting by the fire engaged at work, when a streak of
lightning came down the chimney. According to the
girl's statement her needle, like the lights at the
wedding feast of the false Imogene, "looked blue,"
and she lost her sight temporarily. Further, upon
her regaining it, everything seemed to have a Conser-
vative tint, being ve7 blue; but we are are happy to
say she has now quite recovered, and sees as other*
see.

A PITIFUL CASE

The police base taken to the Hackney Union Work-
house an infant female child, whom they had found de.
serted in the street at Somerford-ruad, Stoke Newing-
ton. The infant wee very emaciated. There was attached
to it a letter, evidently written by a well educated female,
as follows :—" Be kind to this poor darling. It is not done
through heartlessness, but destitution. I have struggled
to keep her nine weeks, and now my means are exhausted,
and friends have turned from roe. There were only two
things for me to do—this or a wstery grave for both of U.;
and I know she will ho clothed and fed and receive all she
requires. Poor darling ! Clod, forgive me I hut He
knows my heart. and will be merciful, I shall claim her
as soon as I can, regardless of the punishment I submit
myself to."
