SCHOOL SERMONS.— In our advertising col-
umns it will be seen that three sermons will be
preached in St. John's Church to-morrow (Sun-
day), in aid of the schools cennected with this
church. The Rev. D. Seddon, of Cradley,
preaches in the morning; the Rev. T. Williams,
vicar, in the afternoon ; and the flee. 0. D.
Boyle, vicar of Kidderminster, in the evening.
There is a large number of scholars in this dis-
trict, many of their parents being very poor;
the average number of scholars daily being 212.
The schools are in need of help, and a public
appeal is made, which will no doubt be heartily
responded to.
Sneer) Detue—On Monday last a squad drill
of the Worcester Yeomanry Cavalry (Stour.
bridge Troop), took place in Hagley Park, under
the command of Captain Weaver. There was
an excellent muster, Captain Noel being present.
The men were put through a number of move-
ments in rapid succession, and the way they were
executed showed considerable improvement.
