Correspondence. •
To the Editor of the Stottrbridge Observer.

Mr. Editor.—Sir,—l notice in this morning's papers
a report of an inquest held yesterday before the Bin
mingham Borough Coroner upon the body of a man who
died from injuries, the result of an accident upon the
Branch Railway now in course of construction into the
town.

It is given in evidence that the injured man requested
to be taken to the Birmingham Hospitals which was
done, but that the °urn's), occupied between two and
three hours and that had the poor fellow received medical
assistance immediately after the accident probably he
would have recovered,

Here Mr. Editor is a pretty state of things disclosed
and held up before the world! As a citizen and jealous
of the reputation of our town I should like to know who
is responsible for such bungling as this and way such
absurd conduct was not censured by the Coroner's
jury.
That between two and three hours should be occupied
in conveying an injured man a distance of twelve miles
as also another specimen of the way in which things in
general are managed here, would any other town in
England have submitted quietly for such a length of
time to the miserable accommodation afforded by the
Great Western Railway Company? I think not. It
seems hardly creditable that in these days of high pres-
sure most of the trains to and from Birmingham occupy
fifty minutes in covering this short distance, probably
tae injured man before referred to was conveyed by one
of these miserable creeping processions, had it been
otherwise his life might have been saved.

How niuch longer will the business portion of our
little community permit this wretched state of things to
continue, without at least a protest and an effort to get
au alteration. Pray sir help us with your powerful pen
we might as well be fifty miles distant from the great
centre of manufacture (Birmingham) as where we are
under existiog arrangements.
Yours truly,
THE MAN AT THE CORNER.
Stourbridge, September 25th, 1878.
lIANBURY HILL CHAPEL.

To the Editor of the Stourbridge Observer.
Dear Sir,—Your correspondent " Observer" has evi
dently been a little moved at the "meagre "intelligence
communicated in our letter of the 14th just, concerning
the late bible class held at the above place.
Had his observations been as close as his ungentle-
manly criticism he probably would have known more
about facts and why the class has been discontinued, as
it is he could not have known anything of the affairs at
Hanbury Hill or he would not have made such ignorant
assertions. _

He goes on to say " no doubt the church at Hanbury
Hill has arrived at its conclusion by the usual majority
vote," that is not the case for the church has not voted
in the matter at all, but the discontinuance of the class
is entirely due to the unfair dealings of the parson to the
president.
No doubt " Observer " is rather annoyed that the pub•
lic should know the facts of the case but he rather re•
minds us of the scripture text which says " These lore
darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil."
He has already said that the class prides itself on being
" decidediy undenominational." True and for that
reason it has a perfect right to come before the public.
We ask of what use is a bible class if it does not reach
and embrace all "Go ye out into the highways and
hedges, &e," This has been the principle of the Han-
busy Hill Bale Class and by Giod's blessing it has

proved of great benefit to the town and neighbourhood'
more especially to the Hanbury Hill Church for with but
one exception there have no young men joined the
church during the last five years, but from this source
many of them at the present time being their sabbath
school teaehers
This being the case and the class having contributed
some £5O towards the late imprlvemts it had a perfect
right to consider Hanbury Hill its home,
The " abuses" he speaks of (if such there were) never
existed until very recent years.
Yours truly,
X. Y. Z.

The PRIVATION OF THE USE OF ONES'S LIMBS while the
other functions of Nature are intact is a serious mortifica-
tion to the actively disposed. Such, however, is the con-
dition of the victims of rheumatism or gout. To walk
without enduring agony is impossible. to use the arms,
free from excruciating pain, is equally impracticable. A
feeling of gratitude therefore pervades the frame when
the means are afforded of using all be members without
suffering. This, we confidently affirm is presented in
the judicious and frequent application of POWELL'S
RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION. It is past all doubt the
grandest pecific for the evils we have named, and others
of a similar character. May be obtained of all
