Placards have been sent to us intimating that a

be held on Clerkenwell-green on Sunday next. A platform
will be placed on the green at half-past 10 a.m., when a
meeting will be held. At 3 o'clock a camp meeting will be
held. At 4 o'clock the meeting will form in processional
order, headed by the officers of the Holborn Reform
League, and proceed to St. Alban the Martyr,
Baldwin's-gardens, when the Rev. A. H. Macko@ochie

will deliver a sermon " specially dedicated to re-
formers generally." On one of the placards we read,
" Members And friends attend in your numbers to refute
those who slander you as to your indifference with regard
to religion."
LADY OFRIIBZERM OF PARISHES —Some comment
was consigned by the recent publication of a paragraph
stating that two ladies had been selected to fill the office
of parish overseers at Barnstaple. Such appointments are,
however, of ordinary occurrence in the country parishes in
Shropshire ' • and in the single petty sessional division of
Bridgnorththree of the overseen appointed at the sessions
just held were females. All the ladles thus distinguished
are married, and one holds joint office with her husband.
In the neighbouring petty sessional division of Sharma,
two out of the dozen parishes of which it is composed
have appointed ladies to the overseeing of the poor, and
in these oases they seem to have been selected in prefer-
ence to their husbands, whose names do not appear in the
list.
