Several outrages, arising from combination among trades-

The Southern Reporter of Saturday states that no weather
e
can be better than last week's. Nothing can be more
auspicious for harvest operations. The country is all activity,
and wherever the sickle had not been brought into play, owing
to the unfavourable weather that prevailed hi the months of Aug.
and Sept., the farmers are to be seen availing themselves of
the fine weather. Large breadths of wheat and barley have
been saved in excellent condition during the week, which,

has proved most important in the saving of turf, which, as an
article of firing, many of the more inland districts depend upon
entirely. Altogether there is a marked favourable change in
the aspect of the agricultural interests, which nothing but
weather such as we are now enjoying could have brought about.

A V
ETERAN.—At Steeple Aston, in this county,
now lives Eleanor Aymer, a widow woman, aged 103 or 104
years. She states that she was born at Redditch, in Worces-
tershire, and that her parents' names were John and Ann
Westwood. According to her own account she was brought
up " in a comical way." For a great many succeeding years
she was known as a hawker of baskets. She belongs to
Bourton parish, near Banbur but has resided for 30 years at
Steeple Aston, where she is yr'iow provided for. The Ban-
bury Board of Guardians, very much to their credit, were
quite averse to moving Mrs. Aymer to the union workhouse ;
and they therefore allowed her five shillings per week as out-
door relief, for which sum she is kept at Steeple Aston by her
Aymer's mind is
old neighbour, Widow Scroggs. About ten years ago sbe
received a visit from her daughter, " young girl" then 80
years of age, and now 90. The family have been generally
very long lived. One of Mrs. Aymer's sisters died suddenly
some time back in Bloxham Field, aged 104 or 108. Mrs.
relish for gin is exquisite; and her hatred of doctors and doc-
tors' stuff is another ruling passion with her. She has kept
quite perfect; her voice good, but low; her
her bed about three years, and expresses no desire to live ; but
from her present appearance and voice it is possible that she
may live some years longer.-04Ord Herald.
STATE OF TRADE. There have been but few
buyers in the market this week, and the demand appears to be
not generally so brisk as usual. Some kinds of goods are ac-
cumulating in the manufacturers' warehouses, but no altera-
tion has taken place in prices of labour and yarn.—Leicester-
shire Mercury.
