A BISHOP IN PARAPHERNALIA.—A funny story has
found its way to Paris of the way in which even archbishops
may be embarrassed by the amplitude of the femile fashions
of the day. A letter from Milan says that the Archbishop
of Milan, meeting the Empress of Austria on the s'aircase
of the Duomo, by. some unlucky accident became so
entangled in her M•ejesty's drapery as to be extricated only
by tearing away some ells of the redundant folds, to the
immerse diversion of the young and august victim, whose
smiles at last lapsing into downright laughter, incraased
the emba,r lament of the venerable prelate.
FOLEY'S AMERICAN GOLD PENS.—Charles
wholesale and retail stationer, 19, South John•street
respectfully intimates to merchants, traders, and dealers,
that he has been appointed sole agent for the sale of Foley's
celebrated American Gold Pens, which are universally
acknowledged to be far superior to any, other manufactured
either in America or this country, They are sold cheaper,
are made of the best gold, with superior points, and are
warranted to wear at least ten yea-s. In America they
have been extensively used for that period, and are pre
ferred to new ones. The prices range from five shillings to
a guinea each. Supplied wholesale by Charles Willmer,
19. South John-street. Liverpool.—Advt.
RATS.—There are two objections to the common mode of
killing rats by laying poison for them ; first, the danger to
which it exposes other, animals, and even human beings,
second, the possibility that the rats, having partaken of it,
may retire to their holes, and dying there, cause an intoler-
able stench, and produce numerous crawling insects. Greer's
Patent Anti-Vermin Mixture for the immediate destruction
of rats and mice, is free from these objections and has
effectually cleared dwelling houses, ships, and other places,
that were much infested with these destructive and
disagreeable inmates. The smell of the bait will attract
the vermin from their holes, and it being such a special
delicacy to them, they will devour it with greediness,
and die on the spot. To be had at the Anti Vermin
Office, 49, Brownlow hill, Liverpool, at 6d, Is, and 4s each.
Can be sent free by post to any part of the United Kingdom,
America, Australia, &c.—Advt.

Cuniors STATISTICS —By request and for the sake of
curiosity, we have been furnished 'with the following
curious statistics, showing the aerations of one of the
most novel and original sanitary departments extant—for
who ever heard of an Anti- Ventrfn Office ? Such is now
established at 49, Brownlow hill, Liverpool,----an of
having for its obj.;ct that of furnishing ;the public with
a newly discovered scientific cad rational remedy for the
extinction of vermin of every description, without danger
to any of the higher order of animals; and bow
essential is the existence of such an office, partic ilarly to a
town like Liverpool, where, in the lower localities, the
dwellings of the poorer classes are so densely and fearfully
overrun with the bed bug and flea that, in the spring and
summer seasons, their inmates are ()hen obliged' to choose
for their night's resting place the steps of their doors! In
poor families, at such times, they are like Phanah's plague
of frogs—" In their bedchambers, and upon their beds,
and in their ovens, and in their kneading troughs."
Few houses, indeed, at any time, are free of
one or other kinds of vermin ; and as no nui-
sance to human beings can be more inconvenient or
troublesome, and none hitherto more difficult to remove,
the utility of' such an office can only be appreciated by
those who, from necessity, have fairly tested its merits.
An idea, however, of ita utility and appreciation may be
somewhat formed from the following detailed account of
its operations during the first six months of its infantile
period, ending December 31, 1856 :—Dwellirg hous-s
cleared of bugs per contract, 207 ;' of fleas, 89 ; of cock-
roaches, 104 ; of crickets, ;of ants, 19 ;of rats and
mice, 74. Ships cleared of bogs, 19 ; of cockroaches
(East India kind), 4 ; of rats, 42. Orders supplied at
counter, per post and parcel conveyance, to different
parts of the United Kingdom, America, and Australia, to
chemists, druggists, and others, for the destruction of
different kinds of vermin, 32,453. Irrespective of this
number, there was, of poor, supplied gratuitously (for
bugs oul!), '209. Number of bugs bought to experiment
on at counter to convince the public, to remove seep-
deism, and to disprove the popular fallacy, that " there
was nothing to destroy bugs," by giving °miler
demonstration of their real antidote, 202, for which in many
instances were paid as much as ld per head, and in some
instances even more, in exchange for bottles of " Anti-
Bug Lotion," to encourage sellers. Public lectures
delivered on bugs, 4. Number of persons employed
exterminating vermin, and manufacturing preparations
against vermin, 51. The above speak volumes in favour
of the energy and perseverance of the ingenious and enter-
prising proprietor, Mr. Greer, who, from finding the great
want which has prevailed among the poorer classes
(amongst whom his many years' avocation, as sanitary
official, under the able supervision of Mr. Fresh, had
naturally brought him in contact) for some efficacious
remedy against vermin, combining safety, simpli-
city of application, and cheapness, did not think it
beneath him to devote a share of his attention to the
discovery of such a remedy, till at length, after much
research, and many experiments, ho has now supplied the
great desideratum, by which he calculates ridding Liverpool,
at least, of so great and formidable a nuisance of centuries;
and in his calculation we wish him every commensurate
success. His having resigned his office under the health
committee, from the pressure of his own business, and to
attend to it exclusively, will enable the public to receive
more largely the benefits of his services.--.4rivt.
