MIL FREDERICK RUTLAND, a professor and spiritualistic
medium, lies in Macclesfield gaol awaiting the re-appear-
ance of one 31illy flatten, a young lady of the mature age
of 11. Miss Hatton was accumonied to attend Mr.
!tutland's spiritualistic seances, and upon those occasions,
according to the medium, the ghost of Mills's father
would rap out " tuce esuecial care of Slilly." This he did
by finding her a bed at an inn one night when she left
her mother's house after a quarrel. Afterwanla the girl
went to his lodgings, from which she was taken by her
uncle, but she left on l'hristmas-evo, sum was afterwards
seen in the defendant's company at a neighbour's house.
He shook hands with lux th,:re and kissed her. She left
the house with him and a male friend a his, and has net
seen Arica. As we have said, the magistrates have
reyiesteil the impulsive spiritualist to kindly lodge at the
gaol until Milly rettumed to her mother.

fetter of complaint IA to the mode of conducting Divine
service in the workhouse chapel. He objects to have to
stand up when the chaplain enters. and he is quite turd
that the rev. gentleman is not sufficiently careful to see
that the paupers who receive the ormaininton are aware of
the responaibility they tr.cu: if they take the sacrament
while they are :n a wrong frame of mind. This IS, of
onus.. Milker an oblique way of informing the guardians
that he never does take the merament or a roundabout
Way of tasking the chaplain to see that he is not allowed
to take it again.
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—CIud Presersatiess.
—At all seasons of the year the rate nf mortality from
diseases of the lungs is very great. Holloway's Ointment
well rubbed upon the chest, aided by his Pills, arrests aU
mischief. These cleansing medicaments exercise the most
salutary and restorative initience over the entire contents
of the pectoral cavity. Airrtuhes, nerves, blood-vessels,
and all other tissues feel their wholesomely potent power,
more particularly in their thoroughly purif ring both venous
and arterial blood, by promoting the free circulation of
air. Neither Ointment nor. 11111 contain any noxious
ingredient whatever, but their balsamic nature nourishes
rather than irritates the system. and kindly subdues
untoward symptoms till all is well once more.
