SHERBORNTL

Tug patients of the Y—eatm—an flospital, to the number
of nearly 100, have marked the occasion of Dr. Ilighmore's
retirement from his ten year's appointment of medicel
officer to this institution, by presenting him with an
illuminated address to the following effect :—" 17fl, Pre-
sented to Dr. Ilighniore by the patients of the Yeattuan
hospital who have been under his care from time to time,
during the pant ten yearn be has been senior mcdicel
officer of that institution.' With the address was pre-
sented a test ial which comprised a biscuit tin, and
net of breakfast cruets in electro-plate and a handsome
cut and ground glass epergne.
A change is about to take place at the King's School,
the announcement of which will cause considerable
regret amongst Shirburniaus. Mr. A. M . eurteis has
resigned his appointment AA senior assistant-toaster of
Sherbtrue School, which he has held for the past 15
years, to undertake the charge of an important prepara-
tory school at Godalming. We are sure that the general
feeling of regret at the loss of an able and kind tauter
and a valuable townsman will be accompanied by the best
wishes of all for Mr. Curteis's prosperity and happiness
in the new sphere to which at the end of the present term
he contemplates removing. We may add that the vacant
appointment will be filled by the Rev. A. WOOII. another
of the mestere.

We are glad that at length the organ of the Abbey
Church stands a chance ~f being rectified. A vestry was
held on Thursday last, in the Town Hall_ for the purpose
of malting • church rate, and for considering the report of
the committee appointed last Easter, to receive a subscrip-
tions towards the cost of repairing the organ. The
committee, having been in communication with Blimirs.
Gray and Davison, the organ builders, reported that the
cost of the repairs was estimated at Ali, and if the work
was taken in hand at once, it could he completed in three
months. Besides this, they recommended the addition of
a new swell, the expense of which might, they thought,
he met by holdings bazaar. The report was adopted. and
Monica Gray and Davison having since consented to effect
the repa'rs and await the result of the bazaar, (which will
probably he held in April next) before doing anything
further, the first part of the woork will be at once pro-
ceeded with.—The usual rate of lid. was made towards the
expenses of the Abbey.
THE man James Critehell, who, after various eccentric
freaks including the pilfering of 1:1 cigars at the George
Inn, was committed to gaol for • month, has since his
return evenced such mistakeable symptoms of aberra-
tion of mind, that on Friday he was conveyed to Forston
Asylum. If we are correctly informed, there was •
difference of opinion between certain members of the
faculty as to the poor fellow's real condition and its cause.
One gentleman describing it as a case of deli,-ass treastois,
whilst another attributed it to the formation of a tumour
On the brain, lie this as it may, his present condition
shows that his four week's forma abstinence has not
returned him c,,,npos menfis, but evidently hopelessly
, insane.

EPPS'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL —ANO-e:OMEORTING.—" By a
thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the
operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap-
plieation of the fine pmperies of well-selected cocoa, Mr.
Epps has provided our breakfast tables with • delicately
flavoured beverage which may save WI many heavy
doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of
diet that a constitution may be gradually built up unti
strong enough to resist every tendency to disease.
Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready
to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape
many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with
pure blood and a properly nourished frame."—Cied Service

Too MUCH op A I:0011 Thou.—Mr. Disraeli was quite
correct in advising people to store up rain water in tanks
against drought, but three is in this country an equal
danger of having rather too much of it. In house after

remedy, the Petrifying Silicate Liquid, manufactured by
the Silicate l'aint Company of Liverpool. The truth of
these remarks is evidenced by the increased demand for
the article, and which has caused the opening of offices in
Loudon, at BR, Cannon-street. We certainly advise all
who suffer from damp houses to obtain all particulars of
this invaluable composition.

THE ENJOYMENT OF F.ATING AND DRINKING AND ITS
PENALTIES.—We need not state that volumes have been
written upon the above aubject since the days of the
reformed boo riroot Carrousi down to the latest treatise
designed to enable us to judge for ourselves in the
appropriateness of our habitual eating and drinking. It
is impossible to deny the great utility of such information:
but, unfortunately, mankind in general lends a deaf ear
to warnings when the tastes and the passions are in
question. As the world Ve,gs, we fear that people would
continue to eat and drink just according to their taste and
humour for • long time yet to come, especially when they

Holloway's Pill., they can wally and readily get rid of all
the constitutional disorders calmed by overfeeding and
