A CLERGYMAN OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND

pastor, residing in Belfast (whose name is withheld by his
own desire) was applied to by a poor woman of his pa-
rish who had been afflicted for four years with an awfully
bad leg with sixteen wounds, and so extremely painful,
that she could not place her foot on the ground. Feel-

A TALE OF A C ' OUI LE OF SPOONS.—Lust week a
somewhat novel and laughable case
before the Sheriff of Inverness.l,hecafm,delofor discussion
vnig aref the
particulars:—A female in the employment
of
in the neighbourhood if ti.e town
repeatedly a lar-mer
aed
of the spoon she usually got to take her mea clom- wip"t n
,
it
being, as she said, a e o: n. out
stump, and unfit for use;
but neither her master nor mistress seemed to pay any
attention to the poor girl's grievance, cone-ivingthat
persons superior to her might sup with said spoon.
Therefore, seeing there was no likelihood of her getting
a better, she provided a new one at her own expense; but
no sooner had she put it in requisition than her enraged
and insulted inaqer pulh'd it Out of her hand and broke
it into two pieces, and threw it into the fire place. Here
the old adage was verified, " that there's many a slip
between the cup and the lip." The angry master
ordered the former obnoxious spoon to be again given
her, which she in turn broke in o two pieces, and threw
into the fire-place, so that henceforward neither herself
nor her fellow-servants would be any more troubled with
it. This enraged the master more than ever, and, de-
termined that the poor girl would not be another moment
under his roof, he, without any further ceremony, thrust
her out of his house. She then brought the case before
the Sheriff, who awar ?ed wares to her until the term of
Martinmas. ',this case excited roars of laughter in the
court, and the gravity of the Sheriff himself was corn
pletely overcome.—Ross•shire Advertiser.
