leaves and berries, which, of course, formed a dome
over each; the square beneath each dome had an
ineceiption in berries in old English letters, viz.,
"Alpha and Omega" and the reederiog of the Greek
lettere "the first stud the laiit." The reredos was
decorated with a scroll, having the words, "Th.
Lord reigneth," formed in scarlet and yellow berries,
and from the middle of this inscription roes a woes,
around the head of which was a circle of white
chrysanthemums. On each side of the window was
placed a design consisting of two oircles—• legs one
enclosing • smaller; these were eetwin.d with
painted inscriptions as follows: "
ideation, and power, and glory, and
honour unto the Lord our God." and
" Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, the Prinos of Peace." The spaces between
the side lights on each side were decorated with
venom Christian emblems. On one side we find,
I—an anchor, trimmed with variegated and dark
holly, and a moll with the word, "Jesus our
Emmanuel," surmounted by a crown in fir; 2—•

were decanted with nicely-formed stars, and the

TitsMlß'S CLUB. —We had almost omitted
to mention that the indefatigable secretary of this
fsr•famed club, Mr. W. C. Spooner, beaded to us
the other day, in a railway carriage, the little green
book of comptes rendre of its proceedings This is the
tweetv-second annual report of the cleb, in which
our friend, Mr. Blundell. takes usually so con-
spicuous a part, and which extends its attention over
the whole of South Rants. As might be expected,
its little pages are almost exclusively occupied with
the subject of the cattle plague, introduced by one
of the most anxious investigators of the disease in all
England, Mr. Spooner, but discussed and debated
In all its phases once and again at the meetings of the
club. It is in inch emergencies indeed that organised
bodies of agricaltorista can most beneficially ampoule
together for the good of their common cause, and we
think that the value of our farmers' clubs was never
rendered more apparent than by the contents of this
little publication. In addition to the cattle plague
the question of the puce laws was introduced, and
ably but temperately investigated by Mr. John
Twynam ; and there was a very interesting discussion
on the rating of game preserves, a point of the
question we rather think is overlooked.
