give your husband a good character. If we allow the

cause of offence, and he promise not to hit you. Often,
when • man has been away Ag sea, it is the fact of his

ROYAL PATRONAGE OF • TOWNS/LAN. We have
this week sem a very hoodlum, and really weal
a tick for the nursery, which we believe has been
pre..ented by our townsman, Mr. E. U. Hallett. The
article is a rooting car, capable of carrying four
children; but two or three can work has well. it was
specially made to order for Her Royal and Imperial
Highness the Di chess of he'linburgb. It I. made
ainewhst similar to • rocking-hone, the cross-bare
being male of electro.ptate, as were the bars round
the end sew., the centre of basket-work, painted black,
and gilded in par. The seats were upholstered in
dark•olue c irded silk, and the foot rests of velvet, of
colour to match the sesta. This invention is likely to
be much appreciated, and may be celled • mother's
comfort, as the children when working the rocking.
car are quite safe.

himself occasionally from the Union-House, sad
when out to get some coppers, on the proceeds of
which he gets enough strong drank to become drunk,
and, when he has ezhausted this source, to present
himself again for raadmisaion.—Supt Vickery on
Tuesday r.c ived a complaint of the old mail behaving
Indecently while sitting in a chair opposite the
Rodwell Tavern, in Noe he could hardly help it when
drunk. He had been convicted 32 times in the
Ism nigh.—Hr. Habeas tried to arouse him to thought
of whet all this would end in • but be turned it off with
some complaint that his wife would not live with
him.—Hr. Habeas said any woman would feel a dist
at such • man. There wee not, be should think,
such • bleak list sisals' anyone in the oounty.—Ma.
Vickery said, beside the 32 came against linn in the
borough, there were other cases egotist hint in the
county—The Chairman said the aragistrates were
quite shocked at hie 002,10 Gt. They would have given
him three mouths' hard labour; but the evidence of
his Indecent behaviour had not been formally given,
and they sentenced him to a montlea bard labour, and
wished it could hove been two or three tunes iss much.
—Dr. Drew only regretted they could not put him in
the stocks. Hia greatest friend was the Home Seem
tary who lutd stepped the use of the stocks.

and she g ,ve it with true pathos and effect, which had
their due infloemai on the audience, who warmly

Tee Peer or AM-Ord& —The extraordinary c 'west
for the minor offic of audit ir, wh.ch this year has
called out no lem than lire candidates for two vscaocin,
has reulted in the return of • Liberal, as against the
ol I Conservative auditor, the former Liberal audit ir
heading the polL The candidates were—Mr. F.. J.
Br 'awn, herbalist (L.), nominated by Mr. E. L
Leaning; Mr. Thomas Patterson IL.), shoemaker.
by Messrs. R. L. Le.:g and W. A. Duffel' ; Mr. W.
J. Plowman (C.), confectioner, by Masers. A- Graham
and W. Whit.; Mr. J. H. Ryan. gentleman, by
Messrs. J. bindle, it'll., and J. N0w..., jun. • and
Mr. W. Smith, schoolmaster. by Dr. J. Moorheal and
Mr. J. G. Howe. We are not aware that any alarm-
ing interest was taken in the preeedings ; in fact, on
the other side, where Mr. Alderman Thomas sat at
the receipt of vote, on the North Quay, business was
BO slow that it was j cularly suggested the crier should
be sent round to bring men to exercise their free and
independent privilege. At the Guildhall sat the
Mayor with his aseittants, and the weal array of
ballot screens and boxes was all prepared. Sorge one
thought it would pay the borough suid the officials to
present three of the candidates with a sum equal to a
year's salary, in order to procure their nub...meet ; but
such things can't be done, even for economy's sake, and
so the contest went on. The result was that Mr. H.
J. Brown beaded the poll, followed by Mr. Patterson;
Messrs. Plowman and Smith ran •losina race, and Mr.
Ryall whipped in. The figures at the close of the con-
test were :—Mr. Brown, 102; Mr. Patterson, 95; Mr,
Smith. 81; Mr. Plowman, 49; and Mr. Rya, 35,
Ftowts Or Tee Wear Lodge of Good Templar, held
an open meeting on Tuesday night, after transaction
of the usual bugloss, in the lodge. The large and
vigorous branch of the C.E.T.S., which holds its meet-
ings in the same room, does not seem to have made the
fiord Template feel that the work is provided for
without them ; but we have beard it is possible they
may in rye to • fresh and possibly more central park to
deal with a fresh population. The weather was very
unfavourable, a great storm of wind and rain sweep-
ing down shortly lotion the time, bat in spite of this,
and some deficiency in announcinr, they bad an
interesting meeting. The chair we. taken by Bro.
DuffelL —Bro. Marshalleay sang 4 The Country Lad,

applauded.—Mr. White then spoke on the temperance
question. When be took the phdde for himself, he

The curse ••( slavery forced men t endure ignominy,
and galled forth such men as Clarkeon and Wilberforce,
and the time came when the shackle, were knocked off
from the slave, and men stood forth in the pride of
manly might. £130,000,000 a year are spent in strong
drink, and the collateral expenee, in tol, lunatic
asylums, and other coat., amount to the sum of
M 0.000,000 a year. Much yet remains to be done
against this terrible evil, and be asked them all to
come out and be faithful to the pledge unto death, for

Mr. Cook read an amusing selection, respecting an
Irishman who rood not get better till he gave up the

Meech then sang "Olen Wide the Door, Mother," and
rendered it wish a te•hris th .t very much pleased the
audience; Mr. Chri.tia rang "The Midshipmite," and
was applauded.—Mr. Staple told of an old woman
who stood up in • meeting of 300 and thanked God
she became a teetotaler. for it had lifted her up both
temporally and nob Really. The epeaker was also
thankful to God that he had beeline a totel
abstainer himself. How great are the benefits
of a happy home • those who hays always had such
a home can hardly trm an idea of the blessedness
of a happy home. Anil such h ones are made by abstin-
ence from strong drink. In intensely cold climates,
the men without the drink accomplished feats that
they could not do unless they had given up the drink;
then the march from Candabar to Cabot, accompli bed
without strong drink, was a proof that men can
accomplish the most brilliant feats; men are better
and str infer, and can eat more food, which does them
more good, without crong drink. In training for
races and other athlePc exerciser, sty rag drink has
to be given up, and the records of the Temperance
Hospital show men can be nr,re succe.sfully doctored
without strong drink. He also told of the edvantages
of baring and applying the money now spent on strong
drink to insuranne.—The Lord Chief Justice had
said—` can keep no terms with a vice

remarked he had stated the Recbabites were 30 per

found it was even better -that the Rechabites, who ire

—After souther speech on the evi)a of strong drink,

described Good Temolarism as Temperance organised,

In this cies had met with an acciden,, and could not
attend to give evidence.—Mr. John Angel Sharron,

th Sunday school, and he fancied they were coining
d ,wis to the practice fir the anniversary; they were
generally good boye.—lt wris stated they had been
loitei log ab ,nt, sal obstru, ting the street —The
Mayor remarked a good character had always great
weight in that Court, and, as they knew nothing
against the boys before, they intended to let them off
lightly. He was eorry ti fay they got the example
from rlder people who, when c cluing out of places of
worship, thou.ght it was • kind of ehako-hands place,
and so obstructed people at the dome ; but they were
not allowed to cause obstruction. Y,t there are other
obstructions in our wrests ; all the carters and drivers
often cune iip the middle of the street, as ills were
made for them alone, Instead of keeping their own
side, eon ether people c old not go then.. The boys
would be fined half-a-crown each and costs.—
Here the father of the boy Nuna enquired why the
boys should be smacked in the face before they
were taken to, and also summoned afterwards?—The
Mayor thought in such • case • little corporal punish-
ment would do no harm.—One of the b iye said he was
black and blue on one of his arum —'ll,l Mayor : Have
you n.,t been black and time before ?—The boy
admitted he had, and the Manor thought it was not
every serious matter. —"the father geld the policeman's
duty wan not to strike the boys outside and Wing them
in also.—The Mayor reminded him it was a father's
duty to discourage offence. against the law. Would
he like to have the ca•e adjourned till the policeman
came I—The father said he only spoke in favour of the
boys not being beaten about in the street, and the
policeman taking the law in hie own hands.—The
Mayor said if the boys liked to have the came adjourned
it could be so.—Mr. Supt. Vickery and neither of the
defendant. had complained to him of any ill-treatment,
and there were private persons who would *ogee for-
ward aid Mate the lark were not touched. Hit would
prefer having the ease adjourned until the policeman

wish an 'aqui, y, and the mother of owe of the boys
asked whether here could not be settled with at once?
—The Mayor said the policeman had injured him knee,
and could not wine out, therefore it would be unfair
for a complaint to be made of his conduct behind his
back. The complaint having been made, under those
circumitances they onu'd not go on with the awe to.
