LOIT Totemlav evening the nee. It. Faraker, citrate of
Sticklool, delivered lit the rkhoolroom of this village an
earnest anil elocuient lectore noon " The Advantages of
Total Alistinenee and the llntit. of taking the Teetotal
Pledge." At the dome of the rev. gentleman's address
several persons took the pledge.

On friday. the Mayor, on behalf of Her Majesty, pre-
sented David Webster, late sec unl mate of the barque
Arracan, the Albert medal for gallantry. The story is of
a romantic rharacter. Webster was in charge of a boat of
shipwrecked seamen, who had been some days without
food. They east Its who pined.' be killed, and the lot
Fell on a lad, but Webster would not allow them to kill
the lad, and was the means by his bravery of saving the
live* of the men.
It is bee. .... ing a common expre:sion among the lower
classes of our larger towns to threaten to " Wainwright
any female with a-h they might have a quarrel. This
adaptation of a murderer's name inti a verb active is very
01.1. Here is an almost siinilar instance, only in this case
it is the name of the Ili3ll Ulrt. wan murdered, that is used.
To threaten to Lie-Wit a person was, in seventeenth
century slang, to threaten to treat him as the errent John
Wit and his brother Cornelius were treated by a Dutch
mob in I1i?2, by which mob they were herharionslY
murdered.

a row of houses in nightie,' howl, :Wadley, and on
Tuesday evening an attempt was made to blow up one of
the buildings. Two kegs of pebble gunpowder were
placed under the stair-see with a slow fuse inserted in
each. The neighlwurhoad was startled by a terrific
explosion, hut fortunately only one of the barrels was
fired, and the damage .lone was not very considerable. No
clue has been ohtained a. in the persons concerned in the
affair, lea it is said to have been the work of unionists,
who have complained of the houses having been Imilt of
bricks made hr machinery.

Magistrates sometimes pass sentences which are not the
most clearly defined. Not six months ago we heard a
worthy Justice of the Peace at Bristol tell a devctee of
John Barleycorn, "you will have Ilia. cr seven day's."
" Thankee' yer worship," numadiattly ansivered Mr.

been applied to by lady who seems to have entertained a

her sentence. A woman, of wretched appearance, dirty

way. A competitor CAIgIC forward and said that they were
told that they niust keep to Richardson's dictionary in
