you when. Keep the blood pure, and the

The New York Produce A'soshange Reporter thinks
that there may be an excess of wheat in the world at the
present time over and above astual requirements, and yet
but a small portion of it will be available at low prices, as
"short sellers" in the 'United States and elsewhere have
good reason to know. Exceptional causes have retarded
the movement of the United States wheat crop to the sea-
board, and these have upset commercial calculations,

from one of the worshippers.

An inquiry has been held at the East London Hos-
pital as to the death of Joseph Stroud, aged 47, late
Inspector of the Stratford New Market-station. On Tues-
day in last week he was coupling some trucks at the Strat-
ford station, on the Great Eastern Railway, when one of
the chains which he had hold of for support broke, and he
fell on to the metals. Before lie could regain his feet the
wheels of one of the trucks passed over him, causing injuries
which resulted in his death. A verdict of "Accidental
death " was returned.
Archdeacon Emery, in a charge at Cambridge,
advised his brethren to accept the Bunals Bill loyally, to
work it out fairly and considerately, but to keep strictly
within the four corners of it, carefully maintaining all the
rights which have been distinctly reserved in the Act, re-
quiring its conditions to be enforced and carried out by
others. It was most undesirable to obtain fresh burial
grounds by extending churchyards.
The Earl of Zetland brought another action on
Tuesday in the Edinburgh Court of Session against the
Grangemouth publicans, in which he pleaded that it was
against his interest that the sale of liquor should continue
in the town. He contended that his comfort and the
amenities of the district were affected. The Lord Ordinary
summarily dismissed the case, stopping the defenders'
counsel. He said he could not possibly allow proof of
whether drinking in the town interfered with his lordship's
comfort, and gave a verdict for the defenders.

Speaking at the laying of a memorial stone of a
village club on Monday by Lady Tlennikeis at Holbrook, the
Bishop of Bath and Wells said that whoever provided whole-
some and healthy recreation for his fellow-men did a most
signal service. He looked forward to the time when there
would be a club in every parish where people might pass
their spare hours in socialand intellectual intercourse. Lord
Henniker, as one of its founders, also eulogised the object
of the club, and remarked that such institutions were not
the centres of agitation which it was stated they would
become, but, on the contrary, they led men to think for
themselves.
As affecting English prices for wheat, the most
important recent news is the French official estimate of the
late harvest just published. This document makes the yield
35,000,000 quarters of 5041 b., or about 8,500,000 quarters
above the deficient crops of last year. The weight, too, of
the grain is superior. France will not require to import
more than 6,000,000 quarters, much of which has been
already received or is under contract.
The High Sheriff of Essex has fixed Wednesday, the
24th inst., for the execution, in Springfield Prison, of
William Wright, aged 25, sentenced to death at the recent
Essex Assizes, for shooting John Prior, a gamekeeper, at
Saffron Weldon, on October 12. In the ordinary course the
execution would take place on Monday, the 22nd, but Mar-
wood, the executioner, has intimated that he will be unable
to attend on that day.—Petitions in favour of a commuta-
tion of the capital sentence, on the ground that the crime
was unpremeditated, have been numerously si ned. Wright
still protests his innocence.

In Cyprus on Saturday Sir R. Biddulph, the High
Commissioner, held a reception, which was numerously
attended by the native inhabitants, who were unanimous in
their-expressions of loyalty to her Majesty the Queen. The
High Commissioner, in his remarks on the occasion, an-
nounced that trade had greatly improved, that there was a
large increase in the shipping, and that the harvest was
fairly goad. A vast number of locusts' eggs had been
destroyed, the rains had been general, and the prospects of
the future harvest were favourable.

Notice has been given of an intended application to
Parliament in the next session for an Act "to make pro-
vision for the assessment, levy, and application of compen-
sation for damage by subsidence of land in consequence of
the working of salt by pumping or raising brine in the salt
districts of Cheshire, and to constitute and incorporate A
board for carrying the said Act into execution." The in-
termed board will, if the Act should pass, be empowered to
make and levy rates or taxes upon salt or brine "made,
, raised, or obtained" Within the prescribed limits. Out of
the fund so raised the board will be empowered to grant
compensation ir respect of damage caused to lands and
buildings, roads °ridges, railways, sewers, &c., by the sub-
sidence of land consequent upon the raising of brine for
purposes of manufacture,
