ADVANTAGES OF RAILWAYS.—A servant girl,
residing in Stockton, on Christmas-day, a little before four in
the afternoon, asked leave of her mistress to go to drink tea
at Shildon, a village above twenty miles from Stoekton. Per-
mission being granted, she set off by the next railway train,
spent a pleasant hour with her friends, and returned to Stock-
ton by seven o'clock the same evening.—Doncaster Gazette.

THE BALLOT.-011 Thursday a public meet-
ing will be held in the Merchants' Hall, York, to petition
Parliament for the speedy adoption of" the Ballot." It is un-
ders:ood that Alderman Meek (late Lord Mayor) will preside
on the occasion, and that Mr. Grote's Ballot-box will be
exhibited to the meeting., a model having been forwarded by
that gentleman to Mr. Rouire Pearce, of the above city. It
gives us great pleasure to learn from a correspondent that
the question of Ballot is making rapid strides in York and the
important districts of which that ancient city is the capital.

VORACIOUS COB.-On Thursday last, a sporting
party in the Frith observed a large cod floating on the water ;
on hauling it on board their boat they found it gorged to the
mouth with garviss. Being unable to shut its mouth, the
monster could not sink, and was floating like a log on the
water. Of course it was an easy capture.—lnvarneas Courior
