Tan LANCASHIRE WITCHES...—Mr. Ainsworth has
with great propriety centered the chief interest of his
story in the acts of the witches. And strange and won-
derful are the deeds they do; now cursing a whole
region with sterility, now removing the landmarks which
for ages had been identical with the soil, changing the
courses of streams, displacing forest trees, and altering
the whole face of nature; anon, initiating novices with
mystic rites and frantic orgies, then practising spells of
fearful import, and again, whirling on the blast, amid
lightning and tempest, to their dread Sabbath on the
solitary hill side. 'Familiars are at their beck, assuming
delusive shapes, and darker spirits hover around—
forming altogether as perfect a picture of diablerie as ever
was framed in honour of St. Walpurgis. There is great
earnestness throughout. There is no shirking of the
subject. There is no modern philosophy, or far fetched
humanitarian excuses. From first to last there is a down-
right faith in witchcraft which James L himself might
have envied.—Examiner.

MR. BURKE'S ANECDOTRS Or THE ARISTOCRACY
AND EPISODES IN ANCESTRAL STORY.—Hitherto the
talents of the author of the volumes now before us have
been directed towards elucidating the hidden treasures
of genealogical history. In the present instance, he bas
abandoned, asjit were, the rugged highways of antiquity
for more flowery paths abounding in legend and romance.
rho result has been the production of two of the most
interesting volumes ever issued from the press—volumes
which show that there are more marvels in real life
than in the pages of fiction. The anecdotes, the author
assures us, however strange and startling, are invariably
the stories, not of fable, but of truth. There are no less
than one hundred and twenty-three of the most stirring
and captivating episodes we ever remember to have pe-
rused. The anecdotes of the aristocracy will be read
from the palace to the hamlet, and no one can rise from
these volumes without deriving a useful knowledge of
some chapter of family history connected with one or
other of the great houses of the kingdom.—British Army
Dispatch.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Bad Legs of Fourteen Years'.
Duration Cared by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Mrs. Priscilla Waters, of Pentney, near Lynn, had been
a dreadful sufferer for upwards of fourteen years with
bad legs, which several of the faculty had tried to cure,
but without success; her digestion was much impaired,
and at times she was quite incapable of attending to her
household affairs. As the medicines which she had
been taking afforded her no relief, she was recommended
to try Holloway's Pills and Ointment, by the use of
which she was completely cured, and for more than
twelve months past she has been able to attend to her
domestic duties, and could, if necessary, walk 10 or 20
miles with ease.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
WEST LONDON ANTI-EXCLOSIIEE SOCIETY.—At
Monday's meeting at Clark's Rooms, Edgware•road, G.
Beacon, E-1., in the chair, the Secretary presented a
splendid engraving of Earl Stanhope, elegantly framed,
the gift of the Noble Earl to the society, his Lordship
having been the tounder of the library. A cordial vote
of thanks was given for the same ; also for his Lord-
ship's recent gift of many valuable books to the society.
The whole property of this society is secured to the
trustees of the British Museum, as additional guarantee
for its security. Mr. Crawford, the landlord of the
Primrose-hill Tavern, Chalk Farm, urged the committee
to adopt some measures for effecting the drainage and
gravelling the paths across Primrose. hill Park, which,
in some places, presented "a sea of mud." He said that
the Woods and Forests had denied him redress on ac-
count of their empty treasury, but gave him leave to lay
Sown planks and rubbish at his own expense, which he
had done, his planks, however, being stolen one after
another. It was ultimately agreed that the Chief Com-
missioner of Woods and Forests should be written to
upon this subject, and if he refused redress, that a public
meeting should be convened in Hampstead.
