A NUISANCE. •
To Use Meer.
Sia,—Would you kindly allow me, through the
medium of your widely drculated paper, to tall the
attention of the authorities to one of the plagues of
life which affect residents in this the enmity town. I
allude to that abominable nuisance, the wheeling of
perambulators on the pavement. I know that it is
popularly supposed the sentiment of the young ladies
who drive these miniature caravans is Oh,
cginse lee naligaiece eg let ace, ,as-de-rine," but
I think, looking at the genus nursemaid, &A raised
in Dorchester, this can hardly I* the case here.
However, be that as it may. I am sure all
must admit that of which I complain is an
unmitigated evil. If you saunter down the street the
chances are ten to one that you get your shins Nuked
by the front wheel of one of thew carts, urged on in
Its wild career by the girl, using the handle as a
support, while she surveys herself in every ehop
window. Not so many days ago I saw a modern
chariot race, between four of theme ladies, down a
narrow back etreet, and it may, perhape, have some
effect upon the mothers of the children when I Fay
that if a trap had happened to have turned the corner
at the time a massacre of the innotanta would have
been inevitable. It was, further, a bitter cold day,
and the girls .Irew up, all four, on the pavement,
obliging me to take to the gutter, while they had
what appeared a most enlivening, if not improving,
gossip. Perhaps, sir, tho insertion of this letter wlil
have some effect in drawing the attention of the
authorities to the matter, even if not that of the
mothers to the way in which their offsprings are so
tenderly looked after.
Yours obediently,
PEDESTRIAN.

and wire-puffing, and what is Tale untottat sometimes
deserviss that drignation when exhibited in public.
But to what a state of chaos and disintegration the
wi her would have us believe the Poole Liberals have
arriNcil ! Yet for what reason?
We cannot for some timo ilisoever what is the
matter, or what is si disgusting to the Editor.
The e:sief magistrate chosen "Li 8 gentleman
deserving the support id the town generally;" and
further on we read that Alderman Bucldey "is a man
who has many friends am! no enemies."
It is tnie that, aftet this eulogy, the Editor is
; agitated because someone, ti whom several object, is
not elected so as to put this irrepniachable aside. We
cannot understand such lucubrations for having lost
the worse and gained the better; but, of course, we
do not expect to understand the workings of an
Editor's mull
But it is only when we come to the election of
sheriff, and remember the scene in the old Town liall
'of this ancient borough, that we believe we get a
gleaming of what it is that bedogs the editorial brain,
and looming, large clouds the whole of his intellectual
horison.
We remember when quite a child to have read a '
story of a duck, upon the head of which a twig
stropping she in haste and consternation ran to her
mother exclaiming that the clouds were falling, anal
was only with difficulty persuaded that the world was
not coining to an end. So it appears that, because
the :ffinevalty has gone ililferent to the expectation of
the critic, the collapse of the whole party will ensue.
"Anil shall we own such juilgmentt No; as seen
Seek roses in Decemlier—ice in lime—
lione, constancy, in wind—or corn in chaff;
Relieve • woman or an epitaph,
Or any other thing that's false, before
Yen trust in critics, who themselves are sore."
The article says the its* said of the appointment of
sheriff the better. Sc we think; if less had been sail
In the article and more in the report of the Council
meeting, all might then have judged for themselves.
It was almost a pity to omit the ironical cheers and
shouts of laughter greeting the proposal of a Liberal
candidate by a Conservative leader. But we are nit
coneerningourselves with the report; only with the
article. We can excuse all these things —we can
forghe a 1111111 offering is plaster that he applies not to
his OWII sore, giving advice that he ihos not follow—
but what can we say of a Liberal critic who under-
stands not when he is a laughing-stock—takes irony
for praise. :atire for commendation, lends himself a
butt for Conservative wit, an "(ii.! Aunt Sally," at
which they throw a Stone.
We would further venture to suggest that, when
the "antics of the Liberal party" are spoken of, they
should be known, not surmised. Especially, it
behoves a critic of Conswate boilies to take an exten-
ded view ‘.l. the influence id their actions, as of the
general public, awl to be exceedingly guarded against
narrowing it down to the dwarfish sight of an in-
diviilual eye.
Allow me to subscribe myself,
Yours obediently,
A YOUNGSTER.

THE PROSECUTION OF "DR." MONCK AT
HUDDERSFIELD.
The hearing of the charges against the Rev. Francis
Ward Monck, the " spiritual medium," was resumed on
Saturday, at the Huddersfield Borough Police Court Con-
sitlerable interest was manifested in the proceedings, and
the court was crewsled throughout the day. The larger
portion of the solicitor's table was covered with the
apparatus used by the prisoner in producing the so-called
spirit manifestations at his seances.- -Sarah Jane Hereto-
ston, &natter of Demo Henry Heppleston, said she re-
sided with her parents in Arthur-street, liudderefield.
She recollected^ seance at their house on the Ord October,
and was present at it. it took place between eight an,
nine o'clock. Dr. Monek named the conditions which
were to he observed by the persons present, viz. that they
were to keep their feet under the chairs and their hands
upon the table. There was no fire in the room. Two
cloths were placed upon the table at the request of Dr.
Monek, Mr. Ledge turned it down, and also Molt charge el
the gas arrangements during the seance. The first thing
which °entrees' was a series of raps under the table, and
witness felt a vibration as if arising from the Thee Dr.
Monek said," They are soon here to-night"' by which
they unacratood hies to mean that the spirits had arrived.
After that an instrument called the "fairy hells," which,
with a tambourine placed upon the top of it, was on the
table, commenced to move towards the doctor. It did not
move fast, but in a aeries of jerks. Mr. Lodge asked Dr.
Monck whether the instrument would move backwards,
and the doctor replied "No." Mr. Lodge then asked
whether it would move a little on either side, and the
doctor replied that it would be better to keep the con-
ditions and not tusk any questions. Subsequently the
interior of a innall musical-box, like that produced, was
placed inside of a common wooden box, and the
doctor lunded it to Mr. Lodge in order that
that gentleman might examine it. Some one
began tn ask questions, and the musical-box
replied iv sounding one for "no" ant three times for
"ye." The sound appeared to witness to come from the
iagila of the box. The gee was lowered before the mani-
festation took place it was misted afterwards and again
lowered. It was not lowered during the rapping. When
the raps took place ties vibration of the table appeared to
be at the co-sec near the doctor. Dr. Monek next wound
ins a meshed album, and it began moving tewards bins.
The doctor said that a manifestation was about to take
edeen. end insmeslietely a hand appearee at the end of the
about a foot frotn Dr Menek. The doctor had his
(DWI, heals on the table at the time. The me woe very
Lev. The hand was quite close to witness, and it appeared
like a wax hand. It wa, ale sit the size of witness's own
hat .1, and the finger. simmered slightly bent and stiff.
Witness lid not eee the fingers straightened. Dr. Monek
put the "fairy belle" in such a position that the hand
meld sweep over them. He did net touch the hand
with his own heals. Ile then named it to the tamlM.urine,
end the hand "played a tune" upon it. Dr. Monck aeked
It One,: pnesent slid not lee the fingens move, hut witness
dist not Omsk that anyone replied. Witness herself did
not see the fingers move. The doctor then hung the
tambourine epee the hut& and mid, "See, it is holding
it." Thehruel 'list not grasp the instrument. Witness was
quite nmr, and could have touchesl the tambourine. At
that tinse the room was in starkness. There was on the
aside tee, dee., eea TO,. Meech tusked Mrs.
Aepinall to take hold of one corner of one of them, and he
took h. 41 of another corner. Ile put a small piece of
pencil upon the slate, and they held it under the table.
In a ehort time it wits brought up. and there was 1101810
%Tithe: upon the slate. The elate pneluced was the one
that was steel, and it had eensething upon it "about Mr.
Lo lee and a wilderness." The elate was then held under
the mid, again, Fuel after it had been held there longer!
