IT appears that, after all the reports to the contrary, the
state prosecutions are to be repeated at the coming assizes

DEATH OF THE FATHER OP THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.—
Dr. Winterbottom, the father of the medical profession, his
name appearing rst in the new medical register, died at
Westoe, near South Shields, on Friday, in the 95th year of
his age, and after a long illness. Dr. Winterbottom was'
probably also the oldest anti-slavery advocate living, having
been associated with the movement from early life. In his
younger days he was out upon a medical mission to Sierra
Leone, and wrote a well-known book amongst the profession,
4, Winterbottom on Hot Climates." His name was well
known in the north in connection with philanthropic and
educational movements. The principal part of his fortune
has been distributed by himself in the latter part of his
lifetime in founding funds for worn-out seamen, master
mariners, domestic servants, &c. ; and the principal part of
what is left will go to found a school for the education of
young seamen in nautical astronomy and navigation. He
was a most worthy old man, and was much beloved by the
seafaring population of the north.

AVOIDING THE RESPONSIBILITY.—Brother Noel was
" sore troubled" at the scandal Brother Crump brought
upon himself by drinking to much, and especially regretted
the injury it brought to society at Sharon. So one morning
he stepped over to Brother Crump's, and found the old man
in a doze in the little porch. " Won't you take a dram ?"
asked Brother Crump, as soon as he was made aware of the
presence of his neighbour. "Why, yes, I'm not agin a
dram when a body wants it." Brother Crump got his
bottle, and the friends took a dram apiece. " Don't you
think," Brother Noel," said Crump, " that spirits is a bles-
sing ?" '• Yes," replied Noel, " spirits is a blessin' that
some of us abuses." "Well, now, Brother Noel, who do
you think abuses the blessin'. ?" "Well, it is hard to say
—but people talk—don't you think that you drink a little
too much, Brother Crump ?" "It is hard to say," returned
Crump. " Sometimes I've thought I was a drinkin' too
much and then agin I'd think maybe not. What is man ?
A weak wurrum of the dust ! So I left it to the Lord to
say whether I was a goin' too far in spirits. I put the
whole 'sponsibility on him ; I prayed of I was drinkin' too ,
much for him to take away. my, appetite for spirits. I've
urayed that prayer three times, and he Ain't done it. So
)'m clear of the 'sponsibility, anyway."
