EXTRAORDINAEY AND USEFUL INVENHON.—There Li nothing
that housewives complain of with greater truthfulness than
the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china,
or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such things cannot be
matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want
has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention,
by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement
that may be said to heal in a perfect manner, all cracks and
breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these, but in
marble, alabaster, &e. The benefit of this article need not be
dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects et Mr. Hall's, our
• neighbour's, ani the glass that has been cemented by it is
stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very
cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the
agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for
theingelves by loo7;!ng in at his establishincnt. Ag'nt for.

THE COST OF THE PADIHAM STRIKE.

Now that the protracted strike at.Paaiham, which
commenced in March last, has ended, and the operatives
have resumed work, .a few particulars .as. to, the, cost at
which the turn-outs have been maintained, the total
amount of money collected for their s'opert in each
town, the loss to the operatives of Padiharn by the
strike, and the money paid to advocatls, delegates, and
for railway fares, &e., will doubtless be very interesting.
The following list has been prepared from the. official
balance-sheet- or•the Secretary to tie East Lancashire

It Will thus be seen that the amount collected from
'the various towns realises the large sum of £4,334 12s.

towns was £10,380 ils. 5d.. The difference in these
items, £953 Os. BAd., having been expended in the
process of collection ; or, in other words, nearly 9 per
cent. of the money collected has been swallowed up in
local expenses. Of the £10,380 lls. sd. sent to Padiham,
£5,814 7s. 10d. was paid to the Operatives on strike, and
£1,154 18s. Sid. was expended in printing. railway
fares, advocates, &e. Thus it appears that nearly 25
per cent. of the money Was expended in the o'illecting-

If the 2,134 looms which have• been kept standing
during the 27 weeks of the strike had been kept in full
operation for that period, they Would have manufac-
tured upwards of 450,000 pieces of cloth, and the
manufacturers would have had to pay for Weaving
the same £16,406. Besides this stun, there would
also have been involved an expenditure of £3,570, had
the mills been kept in full work, making 'a tctal
of £19,976," which would have been paid by the
manufacturers of •Padiham; during the period- of the
strike. Deducting the amount paid to persons out on
strike, and to distressed families, the loss of wages to
the operatives of Padiham, by the strike, is £11,162,
while the actual loss to the operatives of North. Lanc-
ashire, including wages and money subscribed -for the
support of the turn-outs, appears to be £31,310.
Last week, at the conclusion of the strike, the Execu-
the Committee had a balance in hand of £ll5 14s. 7d.;
and eight towns had a balance of £5B 17s. 'bd. for
moneys collected for but not sent to Padiham.

HOLLOWAY'S Otsrunsr.---I3ail legs, wounds, ulcers, and all
descriptions of sores are remediable by the proper and diligent
use of this inestimable preparation. To attemnt to cure bad
legs by plastering the edge of the wound together is a folly;
for, should tae skin unite, a boggy diseased condition remains
underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a few days. The
only rational and permanent treatment, as indicated by nature,
is to redsce the inflammation in and about the wound, to sooth
the neighbouring nerves, to cool the heated blood as is courses
along its vessels, and to render the thin watery ichorous dis-
charge consiste7.t and healthy. Ilappily fir suffering humanity
Holloway's Ointment accomplishes these ends with unfailing
certainty. 34
