the latter, " I could a grand cure of her, I'll
warrant—l hey a salve 'at I makes fra the juice
of the juniper tree, and by biling up a vast o'
different kinds o' things 'at quite cures that in no
time!" " 'Deed," said Davie, " an' what might your
charge be, now, for a box o' that 'intment, 'at 'ould
quite cure her?" Oh, said the herbalist, " looking
anxiously up in David's face, " only a matter of a
shilling." " Well, that's dirt. cheap," said David; if vou
cures her, I'll give you eighseenpence, there now !" With
this offer the doctor set off home to prepare his nostrum,
and straightway hied the very next day to David's house,
box in hand. There he found Mrs. Price, and went at
once to business. " Well, Mrs. Price, your master tell
me that you hey betimes a bad brfakitig out about the
mouth,: and I've brought a box o' fine 'intmcnt 'at will
quite cure ye 1" With this announcement, Mrs Price
firing up—at once seeing her husband's jest—raising the
brush with which she was sweeping the floor, and pum•
melled the doctor to her heart's content, even following
to beat him a field from her house—he screaming out
all the while, " Oh, Missus Price, be you gone mad?"
From that day, however, Mrs. Price has been wholly
cured of her scolding habits. David has only to look up
in her face and say, " I'll get a box 'f that 'intment,'
and there's an end of the matter. David honourably
paid the doctor his Is. 6d. and treated him to make him
forget his pummelling. - The whole of these circum-
stances are strictly true,—Durham Chronicle.
ECCENTRICITIES OF TRANSLATION.—The Overland
China Mail, of Hong-Kong, gives a curious instance of
the variation in official orders which may occur through
translation. The following order was issued by Sir
John Davis:—" No person except the harbour master
can board a junk or vessel without the consent of the
master, unless he is armed with a warrant and accom-
panied by a constable." Upon examination of the
Chinese official translation,' the passage was found to
have been thus rendered:—" The harbour-master, and
persons carrying warrants, and policemen, have power to
board vessels: if there be men, and the captain does not
want them to enter the vessel, then he may be able to
obstruct and stop them." In commenting on this far-
rago the editor of the China Mail quotes some more
amusing parallels from a French translation of Guy
Mannering which he had met with. " Sir Walter Scott

speaks of -Dominic Sampson as a '
is, a minister who has stuck in his career, or in his

course. A French translator renders this un sninistre

assassin€—a minister stuck with a vengeance. Again,
in the same novel, Dandle Dinmont is told that it has
just chappit aucht on the Tron,' that is, the Tron Church
bell has just struck eight. This is rendered in French,
11 est hull heures, d le Roi est sur son tr6ne'—which,
being translated into English, means,' It is eight o'clock,
and the King is on his throne;' the writer, probably,
being led away by a confused notion that the hour had
something to do with Paulus Pleydell being at that time
engaged in performing the part of King in high jinks."
THE WHITE RABBIT AT DARTMOUTH.—Dart-
mouth, like every other town, has had its lull share of
ghosts, ghost stories, and ghost believers, but for a period
of time more than covering the last half century it has
been mysteriously visited by some unearthly being, in
an earthly shape of a white rabbit; many of the
oldest inhabitants can bear testimony to the fact, that
the white rabbit's ghost used regularly, as soon as dark-
ness set in of a night, to take its march from the church-
yard down through one or two of the principal streets
of the town, gambolling heedlessly along, to the terror
of most persons who saw it. some few bolder than
the rest have been known to attempt to capture the
intruder; shots have been fired at it, men have given
chase, and on more than one occasion the pursuer
has securely placed his hat over the prize, but on
lifting which the vanished rabbit has made it evident

GLOUCESTER.—There was a very little English! wheat
on Saturday last, and it was hold with much firmness,
and last week's rates were fully maintained, though no
advance could be obtained. In foreign there was no al
teration. The values of barley and oats -rensaia as be-
fore. Beans are again the turn lower.
WORCESTER.—There was only a short supply of wheat,
and fine English was is per quarter dearer; fine white
selling at 6s 8d per quarter. Barley firmer, with but
little doing. Oats nearly maintained their value, with a
limited sale. leans is per quarter cheaper, with more

ITONV DAVID PRICE CURED HIS WIFE'S SHOCKING
BAD TEXPER.—David, a man of meek and kindly
had long uffared from the patter-elatter, never-ending
scolding tongue of his worser half. One day a hers
doctor greeted aivid at hiA work, ivith a " Well, Master
David, and how be you?" " Oh, I be very well, thanks
to ye, but my wife's not so very nicely." " Indsvd l"
said the gatb erer of simples, with a quick ear for an

that it was not ordinary flesh and blood. Hundreds of
persons used to witness the parol of this delicate-looking
ghost, but the honour of capturing it during the last
week has fallen on our. indefatigabk head constable
Hearn. Rearn's story is, that on opening and entering,
the council-chamber on Tuesday morning, he heard very
strange noises proceeding from some part of the build-
ing; however, there being a good supply of constables'
staves close at hand, he armed himself; and, after u long
search, discovered and captured, without much resist-
ance, a very large white rabbit. Nearly all the mem-
bers of the town council visited and saw this animal in
the Guildhall the same morning of its capture, and from
its singular ancient look, coupled with its lean condition,
it was pronounced to be the white rabbit of Dartmouth.
The general opinion is, that it must have purposely gone
to the Guildhall, with the intention of delivering itself
up, to satisfy the ends of justice.—Devonshire Chronicle.
TEETOTALISM EXTRAORDINART.-011 Friday af-
ternoon two well-dressed men, accompanied by a female
of respectable appearance, quarrelled at the foot of
Jamaica-street. As they were all considerably under
the influence of liquor, the dispute soon assumed a seri-
oas appearance, and both parties threw off their upper
coats for the purpose of fighting. Several blows were
exchanged before the police arrived at the scene of
action. The men were, of course, required to desist
and leave the place, but this they absolutely refused to
do, and behaved otherwise in such in outrageous man-
ner, that additional assistance had to be obtained before
the parties could be secured. One of the men, named
Brown, made such a vigorous resistance, that two of the
constables were obliged to lift him upon their shoulders,
and in this manner carry him off to the Clyde Police-
office. When searched, preparatory to being locked up,
there was found, suspended round his neck with a silver
chain, a very handsome gold-mounted teetotal medal, on
which was inscribed the usual pledge.—North British
Mail.

Pills the finest Remedy in the World for the Cure of
Scrofula.—David Davies, a miner living at Newport, had
been afflicted from his infancy with Scrofula or King's
evil, which was greatly aggravated by the nature of his
employment. All the doctors that he applied to were
unsuccessful in their treatment of his case, even those at
the infirmary at Bristol, whither he had gone in the hope
of obtaining relief. In this condition he commenced the
use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and so rapid was
the cure of these fine medicines, that it is considered by
those cognizant of it to be perfectly miraculous.—Sold
