A PLUMBERS' CONGRESS.

The opening conference of the Plumbers' Congress
took place on -Monday morning at the New Technical
Institute, South Kensington, London, under the
auspices of the " Worshipful Company of Plumbers"
—Mr. George Shaw, the Master, being in the chair.
The attendance was very large, and it included,
moreover, many representative plumbers as well as
sanitary and medical officers, some of whom came
from Scotland and even from Ireland. The
subjects for discussion were numerous and
of course bore directly upon the plumber's art, which,
with the advance of scientific knowledge and the
increasing employment of mehanical and chemical
forces in the construction of buildings is, it was
asserted, rapidly becoming more important, and de-
manding greater skill and education on the part of
the tradesmen. The object of the Congress, which
will last several days, is to bring again into effect
powers similar to those which for four centuries were
exercised by the Plumbers' Company, and which have
only in this century fallen into disuse. Many pre-
sent took part in the discussion which arose at the
conclusion of the reading of the various papers, some
of which were excellent and much to the point.

CHARGE OF PERJURY.

At Poole, on Monday, a charge of perjury was
made by Richard Alfred Bennett, secretary of the
Poole and South-Western Licensed Victuallers'
Association, against Henry Williams, a private
inquiry agent, 10, North-street, Kennington-road,
Lambeth, who was one of the principal witnesses
employed by Mr. J. J. Norton, a teetotal advocate, to
get up evidence and to give testimony against a
number of publicans in the recent licensing prosecu-
tions at Poole. Mr. F. V. Budge prosecuted, and Mr.
J. K. Rutter, of Shaftesbury, defended. The alleged
perjury was committed in the hearing of six or seven
charges of offences against the Licensing Acts,
which were brought by Mr. Norton against Mr.
Henry Collis, landlord of the Crown Hotel, Poole,
on the 9th of September last. Williams stated,
among other things, that Collis had on several occa-
sions played cards with him for drinks, that the
superintendent of police had on one occasion about
twenty-glasses of gin and water, and that persons had
been supplied with drink during prohibited hours on
several occasions. Collis and Superintendent Hunt
were called, and emphatically denied Williams's evi-
dence as applied to them, and several other witnesses
were called. Mr. Rutter, for the defence, contended
that no case had been made out for trial; only in-
terested witnesses had been called. The Mayor said
the majority of the Bench were of opinion that the
case should go for trial. Defendant would therefore
be committed for trial at the next assizes. Bail was
allowed, defendant in .E5O and two sureties in £25
each.

FATAL STREET ACCIDENT.

In London, at the Lambeth Police-court on
Tuesday, Tom May, 29, carman, was charged before
Mr. Biron, Q.C., with causing the death of Geogge
Cassia, aged eight years, by running over him in the
Old Kent-road with a horse and Tan. On Monday
night a drum and fife band, with a crowd of persons,
passed along the road. Cassia was among those fol-
lowing. One of the parties belonging to the band
tried to catch hold of him. The boy seemed
frightened, and ran right in the way of the van driven
by the defendant. He was knocked down, one of the
hind wheels passing over him. The boy was picked
up, but life was shortly afterwards pronounced to be
extinct. In answer to Mr. Biron, Inspector Bees said
he understood the band belonged to some temperance
society, and came along the road every week. Mr.
Biron said this was another instance showing the folly
of those processions in the street. He could not see
how it was necessary to air religion or temperance by
means of drums and fifes. With regard to the sad
case before him, the prisoner did not appear in the
least to blame, but it would be necessary to remand
him until after the coroner's inquest had been held.
The prisoner was liberated on bail.

FIGHT WITH A BURGLAR.

At the Hammersmith Police-court, London, on
Tuesday, William Watson, a carpenter, who had a
bandage round his head, was charged with attempting
to break into a house in Russell-road, Kensington,
and assaulting Police-constable White with a jemmy.
The constable stated that shortly before eight
o'clock on the previous night he saw the prisoner
and another man loitering in Russell-road. The pri-
soner went to the front door of No. 16, and after-
wards returned down the steps, joining the other man
outside. He next saw him enter the garden, and
heard a cruniching noise, as of breaking of wood, in
the area. He at once jumped into the garden and
called to the prisoner. Ths prisoner said,
." I 11
shoot you," striking him on the. head with a,
jemmy. The witness generally carried a handker-
chief in his hat, and it saved his heat from the
blow. The prisoner walked out of the garden,
followed by the witness, who called out "Stop thief."
A gentleman tried to stop him. The prisoner turned
round and threw the jemmy at him with all his force.
It missed him and struck the wall. The prisoner
doubled round some vans almost into the witness's
arms. He then struck the prisoner on the head with
a life-preserver and took him to the police-station.
The witness returned Co the house in Russell-road,
and found three marks on the front door and two on
the are door corresponding with the jemmy.
The prisoner, who said he was struck on the head
several times, was remanded for inquiry.

MARRIAGE OF THE MARQUIS OF
STAFFORD.

The marriage of the Marquis of Stafford, M.P.,
eldest son of the Duke of Sutherland, with the Lady
Millicent St. Clair Erskine, eldest daughter of the
Earl of Rossiya, was solemnized by special licence in
St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, London, on
Monday. The marriage caused considerable interest
and the church was thronged. Among those who
witnessed the ceremony were the Prince and Princess
of Wales, the Princess Christian, the German
Ambassador, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland,
the Duke of Westminster, Earl and Countess Gran-
ville, Lady Spencer, Lady Rosebery, Lady Dufferin,
the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, and many other
friends of the two families. There were nine
bridesmaids, the Ladies Sybil and Angela
St. Clair Erskine, sisters of the bride, Lady
Alexandra Leveson Gower, sister of the bridegroom,
Lady Constance Grosvenor, Ladies Beatrice and Con-
stance Butler, Miss Edith Chaplin, the Hon. Sibell
Leveson-Gower, and the Hon. Mabel Gore. After the
ceremony, which was performed by Canon Knox-
Little, assisted by Canon Cape i Cure and the Rev.
G. C. Tufnell, the Earl and Countess of Rosslyn
received their Royal Highnesses and a large com-
pany at breakfast at their house, 2, Hamilton-place,
Piccadilly. The wedding presents were very nume-
rous, and included gifts from the Queen, the Prince
and Princess of Wales, and others of the Royal
Family. In the afternoon the bride and bridegroom
left London by special-train for the Duke of Suther-
land's place, Lilleshall, where they intend to spend
the honeymoon.

THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.
At 31ark•lane English wheat "met only a very limited
inquiry, but the supply on offer wns light, and sales were
not pressed at any decline. Of foreign wheat the imports
into London during the week have been more than adequate
to the limited demand; and, whilst there has hardly been
sufficient done to establish any quotable chanve in prices.
the tendency is against the holder. Arrivals of flour from
abroad have not been so heavy, but the aggregate supply of
English and foreign is more than required, and tales are
difficult to effect at previous rates. Fine malting barley
both here s.nd in the country markets is fairly firm; but
grinding descriptions are not in either case so well sup-
ported, and must be written as rather easier on the wetk.
Beans have moved off in retail quantities at previous rates,
and the same may be said of peas. New foreign oats have
arrived to a fair extent during the past week, and with a
slow sale prices to-day compared barely up to those of
Monday last; but good old corn is scarce, and for the week
Id to 6d dearer. Maize continues firm on the spot. The
very moderate supply consists wholly of round corn, which
rules quite 3d, in some instances 6d, above the rates of
Monday last. The floating cargo trade has been almost at
a standstill.

fIIE NILE EXPEDITION.

The following tel6grains have been received through
Reiiter's agency:
DONGOLA, Oct. 21.
The latest report received here concerning the
steamer alleged to have been run aground at Wady
Garna denies the accuracy of the first accounts, and
states that two nuggurs, conveying a number of Ber-
bereen merchants and their families coming from
Khartoum, attempted to pass Berber at night. A
rebel steamer. however, pursued and captured the
nuggurs. The rebels, after appropriating the provi-
sions on board, released their prisoners, and did not
take a single life. It is added that the party are on
their way here by land.
ASBOUAN, Oct. 21.
Three hundred and seventy-eight of the Canadian
boatmen arrived here at noon to-day. The railway at
Sarras is out of order, and transport operations are
retarded in consequence.
WADY Munk, Oct. 21, 4.10 p.m.
The Yarrow steamer will be sent to Sarras by rail,
and transported thence by dahabichs to Hannek,
where she will be fitted together.
The health of the troops here is good. There qre
104 cases of sickness under treatment in the hospital,
none of which are serious.

The Mounted Infantry here are expected to advance
in a week's time.

CAIRO, Oct. 21.
The account received at Dongola to-day regarding
the alleged wreck at Wady Garna is discredited here
inasmuch as official telegrams from Dongola confirm
the report that a steamer was wrecked, although it is
not positively known yet whether any Europeans were
on board.

IiFiROISK OF A LONDON DOCTOR.

Dr. S. Rabbeth, senior medical officer of the Royal
Free Hospital in Gray's-inn-road, died in that insti-
tution on Monday night in consequence of a too
zealous devotion to a patient. On Friday week a child
named Lion Jennings, aged 4 years, who was an in-
patient, was suffering from diphtheria, and it was
necessary, for the purpose of saving life, that trache-
otomy should he performed. This was done by Dr.
Rabbeth, assisted by the other house surgeons, and
the obstruction not being removed it then became
necessary that some one should suck the matter
through a tube. Although Dr. Rabbeth knew the
danger he would place himself in, he at once volun-
teered. The effect was that he relieved the patient
very much for a time, but the child subsequently
sank and died, Dr. Rabbeth some days afterwards
was taken with symptoms of diptheria, and although
everything was done that skill could suggest he
gradually got worse, and expired about half-past eight
on Monday evening. Dr. Rabbeth was r, nly in his
28th year, and was greatly respected.

BREWERS' EXHIBITION AT THE
AGRICULTURAL HALL.

The sixth annual exhibition and market of ma-
chinery, appliances, manufactures, and produce con-
nected with brewing and kindred trades was opened
on Monday at the Agricultural Hall, Islington,
London. This, in the strict sense of the
term, is more a market than an exhibition, for
though, as in former years, it presents a display
which cannot but be of interest to a large section of
the general public, its primary object is to bring
together under one roof that large and impor-
tant class of traders who are concerned in the
production and distribution of beer, spirits,
tobacco, and mineral waters. The present exhibi-
tion compares favourably with its predecessors in
regard to the area occupied by the stalls, as well
as the varieties and completeness of the display.
While it cannot be denied that there is much in the
present collection at Islington which, to casual
visitors, would be considered beyond their compre-
hension, a stroll round the stands affords instruction,
as well as matter for interest, to people who have no
concern whatever with the trades referred to. For
instance, the whole process of cigar and cigarette
manufacture by hand is illustrated by Messrs. M.
and R. Peacock, who have a staff of about a dozen
persons employed, and the rapidity with which
machine-made cigarettes can be turned out for
immediate consumption (by the patent of Mr.
Everett) is made clear by the Cigarette Manufac-
turing Company (Limited). Here cigarettes are
made and pac'ked at the rate, under favourable
conditions, of 5000 an hatir, the motive power being
simply hand laboni. As in previous years, Messrs.
Stopes and Co. afford a Most complete display of ma-
chinery bearing upon the business of the brewer and a
cursory examination of their stands will afford an idea
of the magnitude of the "vested interests " embraced
in the trade for which they cater. Hop factors and
chemists, who, of course, make no show in the ac-
cepted sense of the word—are represented in force
and among the manufabturers who supplY aPPlances
for the purveying of tempeiance drinks, MOSSTS
Bratby and Hinchcliffe, of Manchester, occupy a fore-
most place. The specialities in bottle-washing
machinery of Messrs. Lumley and Cd., of the Minories,
occupy more space than that allotted to any other firm
of exhibitors. Difficulties with the Inland nevenue

A PHOTOGRAPH OF LIGHTNING.

At a recent meeting of the Society for the
Furtherance of Photography, at Berlin, Dr. Kayser
produced a photograph he had taken of a flash of
lightning on the 16th Jaly last, the main stream of
which was about four feet broad. When the photo-
graph was magnified four times it could be seen that
the flash consisted of four distinct parallel streams,
the thickest of wfiich looked like scales placed
horizontally. Between the first and second
streams wete alternate bright and dark stripes.
The second and third streams were very close
together, while there was a greater distance
between the third and fourth. Dr. Kayser believed
that the four streams belonged to one flash, which
passed backwards and forwards from the clouds to
the earth twice, using in its backward passage the
channel of air heated by the first passage; and, as the
different breadth of the spaces between show, em-
ploying more time to return to the earth than to
reach the cloud. Allowing for the rate at which
the wind blew, the whole appearance occupied 0.05
to 0.06 second. Dr. Kayser could not explain the
bright and dark stripes, as they could not have been
caused by the heated air. There were besides a great
number of additional stripes, which look in the photo-
graph like network.

THE UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCE.

Sir Wilfrid Lawson, M.P., presided at the annual
general council of the United Kingdom Alliance at
Manchester on Tuesday morning. In his opening
address, Sir Wilfrid Lawson said that Parliament had
now thrice declared that the traffic in drink was a
subject that ought to be dealt with without delay; and
in the Queen's Speech at the opening of the last session
it was stated that the people ought to have control
over it. When he saw that statement he felt he had
no need to harass thr Government, and sat still in the
House, feeling himself to be a gentleman with nothing
to do but cheer. But in spite of this declaration the
Government, from one cause or another, neglected to
bring in a bill, and, indeed, did less when he left them
alone than when he went at them. The report having
been adopted, the re-election of officers was proposed.
Mr. Whitworth, M.P., in supporting a resolution,
said that the Alliance members of Parliament ought
to give Mr. Gladstone clearly to understand that
unless he would make local option one of the pro-
minent Government bills they would not support
him. The Government, he said, would not alienate
the sympathy of most enthusiastic supporters, but
would soon pass the bills required. Resolutions were
passed expressing satisfaction that the Government
had accepted the principle of local ontion, and
demanding measures embodying the direct veto
without delay. Several speakers urged that temper-
ance legislation must take first place on the Govern-
ment programme.
he British troops were transported with delight
w en they were ordered to Egypt on active service.
Now they've got there they are transported with diffi-
culty. Great satisfaction is said to prevail among
the men who are practising their camel mounts, not-
withstanding the prevalent sensation of having the

PROPOSED RAILWAY EXTENSION AT
BROMSGROVE.

A public meeting to consider the best steps to be
taken for providing better and further railway ac-
commodation for Bromsgrove and district was held
at the Town Hall on Wednesday, and was largely
attended, among those present being Mr, Jeff eries,
Chairman of the Local Board, who presided; Dr.
Prosser, Messrs. F. Corbett (Worcester), Cole,
Roper, Bennett. Wilson, flown, Corbett, Farm
Amphlett, Gadd, Ice, Gibson, Cordell, Billingham,
Green, Cresswell, Laughton, Penn, Weaver, and
other manufacturers,tradesmen, &c.
Mr. J. Corbett, M.P., sent a letter expressing his
regrct at his inability to attend.
Mr. Jeffries stated that the 'movement originated
in a visit paid by Dr. Prosser to Kidderminster, and
the attendance of a deputation from the committee
at Bromsgrove on the previous day. The meeting
had been hurriedly summoned, owing to the neces-
sity of appointing a deputation from Bromsgrove to
attend a meeting to be held at Kidderminster on
Thursday,

Dr. P;o-sser moved "That this meeting cordially
approves of the proposed railway from Bromsgrove
by way of Kidderminster and the Stour Valley to
Wolverhampton, and pledges itself to support the
scheme." He detailed the steps already taken. He
thought it would be more to the advantage of
Bromsgrove for the Midland line to be extended to
Stoke Prior to form a junction with the Urea
Western there, so as to open up a more direct route
to London--(loud applause).
Mr. Bown seconded the proposition.
Mr. Corbett supported the motion, and said the
movement was not, like the one put forward two
years ago, got up by speculators, but originated
with the people living in the locality themselves,
Mr. Turton and Mr. Corbett also spoke in favour
of the resolution, which was carried unanimously.
On the proposition of !Mr. Wheelcock, seconded
by Mr. Green, the following were appointed a local
committee to co-operate with the General Com-
mittee t.) promote the railway, with power to add to
their number, viz:—Messrs. Jefferies, Prosser, Green
Parry, Cole, Bown, Laughton, Dillingham, C;orbett,
I'Viieon, Nash, Lea, Fitch, Taylor, Amphlett,
Whceiccck. Cordell, Hadley, Roper, White, and
Lewls. 111cssrs. Corbett and Parry were appointed
jomt secretaries to the committee.
A resolution proposed by Mr. Parrry, and
seconded by Mr, Pitt, pledging the meeting to give
all the support in its power in the way of traffic to
the eompany which helped to promote the present
schema, was carried unanimously; and the meeting
ended with the passing of a vote of thanks to Mr.
Jefferies for presiding.

ALLEGED ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY
CARRIAGE.I

In London, on Monday, at the Clerkenwell Police..
court, Theodore Heales, 35, a surgical instrument
maker, of 50, Whiskin-street, Clerkenwell, and Emma
Heales, 39, his wife, were charged with assaulting a
labourer named John King in a third class carriage
on the Metropolitan Rairway between Gower-street
and King's-cross on Saturday night. The prisoners
were further charged with assaulting Frank Lambert,
a railway porter in the employ of the company. Chief
Inspector Gosden, on behalf of the company, said
King, who charged the prisoners with the assault, was
not in attendance. They would be charged with
assaulting one of the porters. A very exaggerated
account of what had taken place had got abroad into
some of the newspapers. Frank Lambert, porter, said
that on the last train but one arriving at King's-cross
from the City on Saturday night two or three
passengers came up to him and told him that there
was a man lying between the seats of one of the third
class carriages of the train in an insensible condi-
tion, and that the prisoner and his wife, who were
then walking down the platform, had come from the
same carriage. The prisoners were detained, and on
witness going to the carriage in qu6stion he saw King
lying on the floor in a partially insensible condition,
but on being aroused, he recovered, and stated that
the prisoners had assaulted him. There was no one
else in the same carriage, but some passengers in the
next compartment had heard some sculling and fight-
ing. Witness did not notice whether King was intoxi-
cated. He did not prefer any charge of robbery
against the prisoners. When witness caught hold
of the male prisoner to detain him, Heales resisted
somewhat violently and assaulted him. The prisoner's
wife also struck him three or four times with her
umbrella, and then jumped, on to the line to try to
get to the opposite platform, but she was brought
back. Mr. Barstow fined both the prisoners 10s.

SALMON ANGLING IN SCOTLAND.

The salmon angling season Las now closed on the
Tay and the Forth, and unfortunately in both cases
the results generally have been disappointing. On
the Tay the fish were delayed below stream until
very late in the season, owing to the low condition of
fhe water. A heavy fall of rain towards the end of
September, however, changed the aspect of things,
and the remaining days of the season yielded
admirable sport on many waters. Two of the heaviest
fish of the season have fallen to the rods respectively
of Mr. Pitkeathly and Mr. J. Millais. The
former gentleman landed the other day on the
Bows water, near Einfauns, a magnificent salmon
of 451 b., while Mr. Millais, on the Murphy water,
took some time ago (a splendid salmon of 441 b., the
largest salmon which has been taken on that section of
the river for the last 25 years. The following are
some of the more remarkable captures made on the
closing days: Mr. G. A. Murray and two friends
killed one day on the Taymouth water 28 salmon of
a total weight of 4701 b. The heaviest fish weighed
401 b. Captain Morris and Mr. liarsham landed 15
fish one day on the Cargill water, Mr. Murray and
party the same day taking on Taymouth water 16
salmon. On Stanley water Mr. John Bright and Mr.
Nailor took seven fish. Mr. Panton took a salmon of
381 b. on Murthly. Mr. J. E. Millais and Mr. Gray
on the same water, on another day, landed five
salmon. Mr. P. D. Mallock, fishing from the bank,
took 10 fish—eight salmon and two grilse, Mr.
Fletcher the same day on Cargill water lauding seven
salmon and three grilse. At Meikleour Mr. Mac-
gregor took five salmon in one day. Mr. Barclay
Field and party had excellent sport on the Cargill and
Stobhall waters. On the Ridgorton water Lord Stor-
mont's party have landed several fish. On the Earn,
on which fishing remains open until the end of the month
good sport has been got. On the Teith the heaviest
salmon taken this year, or, indeed for many years
past, was landed by Mr. Halliday, and weighed 441 b.
This gentleman has taken many fine fish this season,
including one of 371 b., one of 3.51 b., one of 331 b., and
two of 3215. each. On the Forth Mr. James Mitchell
took a nice salmon of 301 b. in the river above Stirling.
The upper reaches of the Tweed are now said to be
well stocked with fish, and although sport has not
been very good it has somewhat improved. On the
Merton) water the Hon. H. Brougham has landed
several fine fish. On the Ednam-house upper water
Mr. Drummond has also done well. On the Earl of
Home's Bingham water Mr. Moffatt took a fine
salmon of 381 b. Mr. A. Denison has fished Bingham
Dab with fair success. On the Sprouston water Mr.
James Brunless has taken a number of fine fish. The
angling season which closed on the Spey on Thursday
last was not a very productive one. On the North
Esk Colonel Edis has had good sport. Among his
captures was one fish of 301 b.

A HUNGRY PRISONER.

At the Thames Police-court, London, on Saturday,
Eliza Massey, 40, was charged with being drunk and
disorderly in the West Ferry-road, Millwall. As
soon as the prisoner was placed in the dock she took
a large sandwich from her pocket and began to eat it
ravenously. Police-constable Henry Lee, 650 K, said
that on Friday night he was on duty in the West
Ferry-road when he saw the prisoner very drunk.
She was shouting at the ton of her voice, and had a
large crowd around her. As she would not go away
when he requested her he at length took her into cus-
tody. She was very violent on the way to the station.
Mr. Biron, Q.C. (to the prisoner) : What have you to
say to this, Mrs. Massey? The prisoner (with her
mouth full): Why, your worship--(munch, munch)
—it is all lies, that's what it is. The constable—
(munch, munch)—come up to me, and he says, says
he, "Now, jist you take and get along out of this
or else I'll make yer, blooming quick." And then,
my worship—(munch, munch)—he takes and serves
me orful ; fast he knocks me down, and then he
locks me up, all because I just had a wee mouthful of
sperrits. Mr. Biron : Well, at any rate your appetite
does not seem to have been much affected by all this
rumpus. You mtost pay a fine of ss. or go to gaol for
three days. The prisoner left the court, chewing.

DEATH OF MR. A. X. SULLIVAN.

Mr. A. M. Sullivan died at half-past six o'clock on
Friday morning in last week at Dartry, Upper Rath-
mines, Dublin. His health had somewhat improved
within the last few days, but on Thursday his illness
took a sudden and serious turn. At half-past three on
Friday morning he was in a prostrate condition. He
was slightly sensible, but entirely incapable of utter-
ance. From this state he never rallied. His ill-
ness was due entirely, in the opinion of the doctor, to
overwork. Mr. A. M. Sullivan was born at Bantry
in 1830.. He was at one time proprietor and editor of
the 2\ratzon newspaper, and he suffered four nths'
imprisonment for circulating seditious publications in
connection with the. Manchester executions. While in
prison he was nominated to the Lord Mayorship of
Dublin, but he declined the honour. He also declined
a national testimonial, and £3OO subscribed for that
i
purpose was spent n the purchase of the Grattan
Statue, now in College-green, Dublin. He subse-
,quentiv represented the counties of Louth and Meath
in Parliament. In 1876 Mr. Sullivan was eallechoi,
the Irish Bar, and in 1877 to the English Bar. He
w a.s engaged in the defence of Mr. Parnell and the
other Irish members and Land League officials in the
State trials of 1880, and latterly he practised a good
deal in England. Mr. Sullivan took a prominent
part in the advocacy of the cause of temperance.

CAT SHOW AT THE CRYSTAL
PALACE.

The 16th annual national cat show at the Crystal
Palace was opened on Tuesday under the central
transept opposite the great orchestra. The exhibits
exceeded in number any show of former years.
There were 356 entries. The judges were Mr.
George Billett and Mr. J. Jenner Weir, F.Z.S.
More than 100 money prizes were awarded to the 49
classes competing for them. Nine silver medals, in
addition were offered by the Crystal Palace Company
for the best cats and kittens in the various sections
into which the clauses were divided. No. 17 in class
4. a red tabby, owned by Miss L. Stevens, gained
the silver medal in the first section, comprising
classes 4to 11. The medal for classes 12 to 22 was
not zwl arded, owing to none of the competitors being of
sufficient merit. The medal for class 23 was awarded
to Mrs. E. Davies for two marked short-haired
kittens, No. 102. Miss Moore's half-bred Persian
"Fritz," No. 125, gained the medal for classes num-
bered 24 to 27. In the next section Dr. Churchward's
very fine Persian (blue) she cat, "Midget," No. 167,
boasting a distinguished pedigree of prize winners,
was awarded the silver medal, and was valued in the
catalogue at £lOOO. Miss Beasley's two Persian
kittens, " Blue Beard" and " Bluette," aged four and
a half months, No. 193, gained the medal in class 32,
the first-named animal being valued at £5O. The
exhibits, taken as a whole, are about up to the average
in point of merit. The show was very largely patro-
-nzed by ladies.

REMARKABLE ROBBERY FROM AN
ISLAND.

_lnformation of a remarkable robbery has been re-
ceived in Lewis from the Island of Rona, situated
about fifty miles north from the Butt of Lewis. The
island is rented by a merchant who grazes a large
number of sheep upon it, but during the last few
years from fourteen to twenty sheep had been missed
annually. The island had previously been uninhabited,
but in consequence of this two men were sent by the
tenant to reside there. A boat's crew from Ness lately
proceeded to Rona, when they were informed by the
two men that some time previously ten men landed on
the island from two English smacks fishing off the
coast and forcibly removed four sheep. From the
manner in which they captured the island-reared
sheep, which are very agile, they seemed to be adepts
at the work. The men also entered their house and
stole their tobacco and pipes.
