DEAR Sin,—l can strongly recommend your Pectorint
as an invaluable Cough Remedy. I have given it a fair
trial in my own family, end have also supplied it to per-
sons suffering from Cough in my parish, and in every
instance it has given inauediate relief. In some cases,
after passing sleepless nights. one or two doses of the
Pectorine have had spell a good effect that persons have
got a good night's rest, end the Cough has speedily dis-
appeared.

wheel of the cart running up an inclined footpath
which rose from the level of the road to the height of
18in. in front of the cottages, and striking a-lfanst
kerbstone before reaching the la.flder. There were the
marks of a blow on the kerbstone, but none upon the
ladder, which had not apparently been knocked down
or moved from its position against the cottage. It was
also alleged that the plaintiff had contributed to the
accident by driving without lights on a dark night.
The learned Judgb left it to the jury to say whether
Dawson was the servant of the defendant, and whether
the accident had been caused through his negligence.
and if so, whether there had been contributory negli-
gence on the part of the plaintiff.

was when the accident occurred. The defendants
denied the allegation of negligence.
It appeared that oil a certain day in August last
year the plaintiff entrusted six valuable horses to the
care of a Mr. Kelly. a hore•e dealer, to be conveyed
from Hull to. New Holland, with the view of their
being sold at Horncastle fair. They crossed the
Humber in a boat; when the horses were landed at
the destined station, they advanced towards the head
of the pier. Whilst doing so the horse in question had
its foot caught in a triangular opening formed by. the
ends of two rails and in the effort made by the animal
to extricate the foot it fractured its leg. It was con-
tended that the accident was owing to the negligence of
the defendants, in not providing a safe mode of egrees
from the station for horses and cattle. Besides Mr.
Kelly, two grooms and a boy accompanied the horses.
A- question arose as to where New Holland com-
menced and ended, and whether the_aecident had
occurred within the -Midas Of the aerehdant's Station.
The Jury ultimately found a verdict for the plaintiff
for the amount claimed.

• , The Journal de l'Agricuiture states that the number
of breeding wolves in France is estimated at 1.,00J; and the
1 number of whelps born in the months of- May and Jun b at
about 2,500. I,boo wolves on an average are killed annually.
It is believed that at the commencement of April 2,000
wolves are active in committing depredations. The direct
damage committed by each of them is estimated at about
moo f. worth of 'cattle, representing altogether 2,000,00 Q!.
Mtich greater damage, however, is inflicted by the wolvesin-
d4ectly, as Owing to them the farmers are obliged to hive folds
for more than 20,000,000 sheep, which causes an expenditure of
hundreds of millions. The Journal de l'Agriculture believes
that if proper measures were taken the wolves could .be ex.
tirpated in tour or live years.
