The difference as to the application of the
surplus of the Hartley fund returned to South

Mr. F. Smith proposed, Mr. Solly seconded,
and it was resolved unanimously, "That as soon
as the collars of South Staffordshire and East
Worcestershire have, in accordance with their
promise, raised and paid into the Wolverhamp-
ton and South Staffordshire Bank the sum of
£5OO, and so raised the present balance of
£2,500 to £3,000, the interest of the total sum
of £3.000 shall be periodically divided amongst
the widows and orphans of those colliers who
may have been killed in the above district during
the first year of their destitution, in such pro-
portions as a committee to be hereafter appoin-
ted shall deem most desirable."

or abroad, who are thus enabled to select any article

rheumatic gout are the most dreaded of all diseases, be-
cause their victims know that they are safe at no season,
and at no age secure. Holloway's Ointment, after fom-
entation of the painful parts, gives greater relief than
any other application, but it must be diligently used to
obtain this desirable result. It has been highly com-
mended by rheumatic subjects of all ages and of both
sixes for rendering their attacks less frequent and less
rigorous; and for repressing the sour porspirations and
soothing the nerves. In many cases Holloway's Oist-
ment and Pills have proved the greatest blessings in re-
moving rheumatism and rheumatic gout, which hail as-
