THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AT STAFFORD.--
Further particulars have been published respecting
the charge against Mr. G. F. Griffin, son of one of the ma-
gistrates of Stafford, on the charge of concealing the birth
of his housekeeper's infant child, by taking away the body
in a portmanteau, and throwing it into the river Mawddach
near Dolgelly, Merionethshire. It is feared the charge
will ultimately resolve itself into one of wilful murder
against the housekeeper, as the post mortem examination
of the body shows that the child was born alive, and met
with its death by violence. The person who found the
body in Wales was gardener to the chief constable of Me-
rionethshire, against whose garden wall it wasth prisoners thrown by

the manufacturing districts
for
accounts
past week
state that business generally has
been
active. At Manchester there has been a good
export demand for both cloths and yarns, and
prices have tended upwards. The woollen trade
of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield continued
reasonably active. The fineness of the wea-
ther, however, has delayed operations on winter
fabrics. At Leicester and Nottingham the hosiery
and lace trades have remained without material
change, while in the hardware districts of Birming-
ham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton more anima-
tion has prevailed, consequent upon an increased
demand for exportation chiefly to America.
BREARrAsr BEVERAGE.—Homceopathie practitioners, and
the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being
tae most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of
homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there
were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or acceptat le to the stomach ; the nut was
either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu-
factured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to
produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by
the pericet trituration it fe:eives in the process it passes
Ihrough, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps' cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma.
Dr. Hassell in his work, "Food and its Adulterations,"
says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive
principles; every ingredient necessary to the growth and
sustenance of the body." Again, "As a nutritive, cocoa
stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Direc-
tions : —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup,
filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined
i-lb , and 11b. labelled packets, and sold at is. 6d. per
ID. by grocers, confectioners, and ohemists.
