HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.

All sufferers from coughs. colds, bronchitis, asthma,
and irregular action of the heart are earnestly recom-
mended to rub klolloway'a searching Ointment well over
the throat, breast, and back as the case may require,
twice a day. Invalids may confidently rely upon the be-
neficial effects resulting from this treatment ; this Oint-
ment Is the most trustworthy remedy for all Internal and
external ailments of the throat.

Bad Lege, Bad Breasts, Cleers, Abscesses,
Wounds. and Sores of all kinds.

May be thoroughly healed by the application of this
Ointment to the parts affected, after they have been duly
fomented with warm water. Under the action of this
powerful Ointment, aided by the Pills, the depraved
humours f the body will be quickly removed; even
scrofulous ulcers and foul sores, however old or invete-
rate, can thus be cured.

In Goat, lihrionatinnt, and Seumlyie Pains.

Thin Ointment never fails to give relief. it, very first
application lessens the iullammanon and diminishen both
heat and pain. Tins soothing Ointment, by depurating
the blood on its route to or from the affected parts, pro-
motes healtny action. in severe and chronic cases the
Pills should always be taken, as their purifying alterative
and restorative qualities place the wade mass of adids
and thuds in a wnoiesome condition.

/Ie fat Freud.—Skin Diseases, however
Deverate may bc Radically Cured.

Scald heeds, itch, blotches on the skin, scrofulous
sores or king's evil, and such like affections, yield to the
mighty power of this tine Ointment, provided it be well
rubbed around the affected parts two or three times a
day and the Pills be taken according to the printed
directions.

Iffilmical Swellings, Paralysis and Stiff Joints.

Many of the worst cases of the above diseases will
yield in a comparatively abort time if the Ointment be
diligently applied to the affected parts, even when other
means have failed. Whenever the malady has been of
long standing the Ointment should be &ablated by Hut-
loway's purifying Pill, which act upon the stomach and
liver, guarding digeation against failing into that disor•
dewed state, which the pain, restlessness, and fever at-
tending these ailment, is apt to produce, and which much
retards recovery, uad sometimes even makes serious the
sliglateat case.

since theist day of January,
- - -

A debate ensued on His 3lajesty's regiment of
Guards, when it was resolved " that the Gentlemen
Pensioners and Yeomen of the tinard were the only fit
guard for the king." And it was alleged that Par-
liament had never acknowledged any other guards,
which were costly. useless, and fit only for despotic
Kings : that the life :ivards were a refuge for Papists,
aml that by di:handing them the King might save
Si, much that he could pay his own debts without
always applying to Parliament.
Within the week King ihatches came down to the
House, announced peace with Holland awl the possi-
bility ,4 carrying 4:ut his wish to disband the forces en-
gaged in the I latch War; said he would send the Irish
regimints to Ireland, but announced 3 great want of
money for new ships.
The Commons were so lelighted by the peace with
Holland aud his Majesty's attentions that they said

SCHOOL BOARD.—A meeting of this Board was held in
Tuesday last, at the Girls National Schoolroom. There
were present Messrs. Bunn, Bolton, and Belcher. Both
the chairman and vice-chairman being absent, Mr. Bunn
was appointed chairman of the meeting—the minuti
of the last meeting having been read, Mr. Bolton read a
copy of a letter sent to the secretary of the National
Society asking their transfer of the schools to the Board,
on the condition that the vicar and the churchwardens
have the use of the schools on Sundays, Church Festi-
vals, and certain evenings in the week. He also read the
reply to the above letter, which stated that a meeting of
the National Society would not be held until the first day
of November next, but that religious teaching was given
from 9 to 10 a.m., and the society would probably consent
to the transfer. The Clerk was also directed to reply t
this letter, and request them to communicate with the
Board after their meeting, and state on what terms they
would have consented to the transfer.—A letter from th.e
Education Department was read, informing the Board
that the mode of election to. vacant seats on School
Boards had not yet been prescribed.—On the motion of
Mr. Bolton, seconded by Mr. Belcher, it was resolved—
hat the teachers formerly under the direction of the
National Schools Committee be appointed to take charge,
under the directions of the School Board, of the s.-1,014

THE POPE'S LAST ENCYCLICAL
LETTER.

On Sunday last another encyclical letter from His
Holiness, addressed to "all Patriarchs, Primates,
Archbishops, Bishops, anti other Ordinaries in the Com-
munion of the Apostolic See" was read by order of
Archbishop Manning at high mass in all the Homan
Catholic churches and chapels of the metropolis and its
neighbourhoisL It announced the fact that during
the past week the Pontificate of his Holiness had
actually exceeded that if St. Peter --viz., twenty-five
years, two months, and nine days ; it thanked the
Roman Catholic prelates for their prayers and for
those of 'the faithful," at a time " when we
have been deprived of our city, the capital of
the whole Christian world," and for the "frequent
demonstratii ins with whirl, they have affirmed the in-
violable rights whieli, with incredible audacity, have
been and cominoe to be trampled under foot." The
Pope then adds his " acknowlAgments for the coming
big-ether •if so mutiny 14 the faithful front all parts to
Done torsos iie him and tO turn his sorpiw into joy,"
and hir the llunq ititude with which "the poor as well
as the rich lof all Christian countries have endeavoured
to aid the poverty to which we have been reduced."
He adds, " With hands and eyes uplifted to Heaven,
we offer to God all that lees been given to us by our
children in II& name," and that his constant prayer is
that "Ood will bestow on them in return, both in this
world and the next, that rich reward which We can-
to it give, for all their good wishes for the peace of the
world the victiiry of the Church, and the liberty of the
Holy Sea ;" and It...mimics by urging the prelates of
Christendom to keep united to each other, s,,as "to
in.esent a cs impart array to the etleinie3 thel, who
with new stratagems and violence assail the Church,
which never can be destroyed by any human agency."

MILITARY COOKING IN THE FIELD.

On the Importance of good cooking for our soldiers, Lient•
enant Colonel tthakespeare writes to The Timex :

It is reported of a very distinguished officer now
serving that, in being asked consecutively What seas
the first, second, awl third highest qualification for a
soldier, answered ''A good stomach.
There is snore truth in those replies than at first
appeals, for let us look to the almost unavoidalle style
id cooking in the tichl. Speed isso absolutely necessary
in many instances that we hear mostly spoken of that
system which turns out the dinners " cooked" in about
an hour. Now, meat killed in the morning awl boiled
hard for one honrin the afternoon, does require "a gaol
stomach' to digest it ; but that is the style in which
soldiers not unfrequently have to live on service. ('all
the operation what you will, it is not cooking ; but I
do not see that cooking, within the.true sneaking, can
bt carried out by troops in a moveable camp,
- - -

_ .
I am one of those who attribute much sickness to
hard cooking, and wish to make a suggestion for ex-
perhnent which may be wortl,y of trial. I/f my own
knowledge, Australian mutt in is anything but indif-
ferent food. I have frequently eaten it, and will do so
again. In the tins which I have used is lean, fat,
and jelly, which is the gravy, and, being thoroughly
cooked, may be eaten cold, or limy be " warmed up,"
and with potatoes makes as good a "hunter's stew' as
any one need require.
A waggon-load of 71b. tins would about feed three
regiments, and the diinters would be ready as soon as
the potatoes were boiled - say in half an hour, and not
unpalatable either, whidi might be an acceptable and
desirable occasional change.

WALES AND THE WELSH.

Mr. 11. A.. Freeman thus volleludeil 116 learned and
interesting speech at the late arelneological meeting at
Cardiff :

" This (Wales) is a land in which men of all the races
which have occupied this island may alike feel at home, for
each and all may trace out the memorials if their own fore-
fathers—Briton. Englishman, Norman, Fleming, have all
contributed to the mmulati ~,, to, the speech, to the existing
antiquities if the district. Our Danish friends in the north
and east have, perhaps, less tart and let in the matter ;tort
it rimy comfort them to remember that lurking tlects were
often seen in the Bristol Channel, and that down to the end
of the eleventh century the Black Heathen were ronly to
destroy w hatever MEM at the other races were ready to,
rear up. On spots where our fathers met in arms, we—
living men of those various races—can meet hi friendship to
bear out their deeds. The castle, which were on ,e badges of
bondage of which men loathed the sight and the reline, are
now the witnesses of a time which is happily passed away—
witnesses whose silent teaching we can listen iii With curiosity
and even with reverence. And it the castles remind as of
the old separation—the old hostility of contending races—
another class of buildings militias us of their union. The
ecclesiastical history of Wales is e,rtainly no ph asant page in
thd history of England. One reads with it feeling id
shame of the revenues of ancient Welsh churches swept
away In the twelfth century and in the sixteenth to
enrich English immolations at Oloncester, Temites!thry,
and Itristol. Vet in the days of mar alai taillait it
wits something that men of contending races could at
least wouship together—that they could agree to lok
with revere-nee oil spots like the holy places at St. Tell°
and it, Illyol. And it is something, on the other side, that
in tine point at least, the nineteenth century may hold up
its head alongside any of its forerunners. No church of its
rank in North Britain has ever fallen SO low as the cathedral
church td the diocese in which we are ;net. If there were
nothing else to draw us hither it would be goal enough for
our pilgrimage to see the ancient Minster of Llandatf, not
tsr many years lamk a ruin, and worse than a ruin, stand
forth as it now does among the Inlidel churches of our land."

SHOCKING COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT

A LEVEL CROSSING.

A 1.0 Ltlont 11 years of age, named John Stisidiat,
has net with a horril:hilkatil on the l'ekt:nouth and
NVoriiingh,n nation ef the I ,lnllli an 2cl,ltll•WeStnlll
Slut a mile from Workington there is a
level crossings at Seaton Hour null. On Saturday
aft.': non St 411111:11t had t,, the mill for their, and
havin4 laced his supply in a pony cart he led the ani-
mal to the level crossing on his way home. The gates
W,ne ,hut across the road, bet seeing that the line was
clear he threw them open, said proceeileil on his way
across. The weather was very stormy, mail the
crossing keeper, an elilerly man, being inhis hut at the
time, neither saw nor heard the boy with the cart, and
accordingly when the passenger train from Cocker-
mouth came in sight, he signalled the line all clear,
and the train passed on at full speed. At this mo-
ment the boy was still upon the railway with his cart,
and he, upon ihiserving the approach of the t
attempted to turn the pony's head romni, and kis
take it back off the line. The animal was., however,
stubborn, and Wtaild MOVn, and the result was that
almost immediately the passenger train ran into the
cart. The boy was killed on the spot, his legs hieing
severed nom his body, and his head was mangled in a
most horrible manner. The pony was decapitated
and it, carcass Was projected over a bridge into a
field beside the railway, the force of the collision
having completely carried it away from the cart.
The passenger train was stopped as soon 11.`f possi-
ble after the accident, and most painful feelings
were created among the passengers at the horrible
fate of the boy. If he had run away and left the
pony to its fate he might have been saved, but he re-
mained with die animal and flied with it. At the
Comner's inquest held Im Monday, the engine-driver
said he Was travelling at the rate of between 25 and
110 miles an hour, when he saw the horse and cart on
the line. He seas more than 200 yards from the cross-
ing when he reversed his engine, but he could not pre-
vent a collision, and his engine struck the horse on the
shoulder. If the gatekeeper hail exhibited the red flag
when the driver saw the horse, it would have prevented
the accident. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci-
dental death," and recommended that the position of
the gatekeeper's hut should be altered.

On Tuesday afternoon an ordinary meeting of this
body was held in the Public Office, firierley Hill. There
w, re present—Messrs. F. Cookson (chairman), W. Bar-
low, H. Walker, J. W. Chilow, It. Smith-Casson, S. Ben-
mitt. H. Evers, and W. E. Wood.—The General Purposes
Committee reported that they have had the returns of
the various schools throughout the parish before them,
and they submitted them to the Board in order that thei
may determine the schools that should be taken into se-
count as efficient or otherwise, and generally ti complete
the return fur the Education Departinent.—Those returns
gave the following figures :—Area of parish, 7,315; pop-
ulation, according to the last census, 1.7,039; rateable
value. £96,560 ; estimated number of ratepayers, 8,000;
number of ahildren within the limits of the parish, for
whore means of elementary education should be provided
between the ages of three and live, 2,073 ; between the
age: of five and thirteen, 7,118; 9,321.—The exist-
ing accommodation wsa given as follows : Kingswinford,
966 ; average attendance, 667. Wordsley, 774; average
attendance, 550. Pensnett, 922 ; average attendance,
573. Brockmoor, 273; average attendance, 178. quarry
Bank, 1,30'2; avinge attendance, 606. Brierley
2,029; average attendanee, 1,031. Total number of chil-
dren attending school, 3,506. The total accommodation
afffirded by the schools already being used, and those
which are not being used, but are good schools, is 6,2641.
Tl.ese schools do not include dames schools, hut include
the private schools at which payments by scholars exceed
94. The dames schools are supplying insufficient ele-
mentary education, and are not held in proper rooms;
therefore, accommodation will have to be provided for the
children attending such schools. The number is about
75;1.—A long discussion then took place in reference to
the efficiency of the existing schools, and the contempla.
kff school* in different parts of the parish; and it was
reso!ved that full information should be furnished to the
department in London as soon as possible.—The Deputy
Cl. rk (Mr. I'. Price) said he would do his best to com-
plete the returns by the next Board meeting.—The re•
port of tne Finance Committee was adopted.

•
Sir,---I am informed that in several b Who prepara-
tions are being made tip celebrate the anniversary if
the 4th September, either by reviews of National
I :mulls or public rejoicings. The revolution accom-
plished on that day undoubtedly estaldisbed the
Rep& die in France, and henceforth the country,
master ,if his OWII destinies, may in all frersh an besbae
upon itself the institutions it leems l•est fitted to en-
sure its prosperity audits grandeur. But the disastens
which determine.' that event must not be forgotten,
nor must the fact be disguised that any commemora-
tive fete in its honour sY add recall, at the same time,
lair saddest reverses. Will you the-fore, appeal to
the patriotism of all good ? Represent to • them
that France, only just emerging from foreign war and
civil war, is still mourning : that part of her soil is
still occupied by troops which are not her OWII aml
that manifestations of the kind which are being pre-
pared would just now wound every feeling of propriety.
No doubt your voice will be generally listened to ; but
if, contrary to your counsels, the projects announced
should in some places be persisted in, 1 beg of you to
have recourse, in order to oppose them, to the means
the law places at your disposal.--I am, &c.,
