EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION.—At a meeting
of the Greenwich Board of Guardians held yesterday after-
noon (Mr. B. Carter, chairman) an application was ma;e
by a man named Garner, who will complete his hundredth
year in October next, for his discharge from the union, of
which he had been an inmate three years, The old man,
who appeared hale and hearty, also asked fora grant of 58.,
it being his intention to proceed to Durham to his wife,
who, he said, is four years his senior. The. guardians en-
deavoured to persuade the applicant to remain in the house,
but he refused to do so, and the chairman, in granting his
discharge on behalf of the Board, expressed a hope that the
press would notice the fact that it was the old man's volun•

tart' act.
A BLUE ARCTIC Fox CIRCUMVENTED BY A SEA
BIRD.—" For shame," exclaimed the bird, " you godless
creature you were going to eat me without saying grace."
Reynard, abashed, folded his paws, turned up his eyes, and
opened his mouth—out flew the bird. "Bother!" said the
fox, "henceforth I shall only say grace after meals."
