FIRST TEA-DRINKING IN A DURHAM VILLAGE.—The
following well-authenticated account of the first pound of
tea which reached the primitive neighbourhood of Cother-
ston, is given by a grand-daughter of the recipient, Mr.
James Raine, of London, who died at the age of 100 years
about thirty years ago. Mr. Raine, a comfortable far-
mer, had married a wife of equal respectability from Lon-
don; and, as a wedding present, the lady's friends sent
them a pound of tea and a new brass tea-kettle from Lon-
don—tea being then only just introduced in Cockaigne—
with a recipe for the use of the tea, viz. :—" That it be,
boiled with cream and sugar." The tea was thus duly
poured into the new kettle, and a goodly portion of sugar
and cream added, to the delight of a party of friends who
had met to celebrate the wedding. After this process,
the contents—leaves included—were poured into a large
earthenware bowl, and placed on the midd:e of a table,
and the as3embled guests, each provided with a spoon, set
to work to sip this new beverage ; which, on account of
its novelty, we opinp, more than its excellence, was duly
consumed—tea-leaves and all!—Durham Chronicle. _

- THE KING OF THE FAIRIES —The inmatesof ll—d I
an upland farmhouse in a mountainous district close to the
foot of Snowdon, were thrown into much confusion by the
entrance of a little girl in a state of great alarm. She had
seen, on the other side of a low Wall, the king of the fai-
ries (Brehin y Tylwyth Teg), and he had spoken to her.
This district had in former days been much frequented by
these little people. An old woman, who was sitting on a
bench in the chimney corner, asked the girl to describe
the stranger—" He bad a red cap on, and his nose was thin,
red, crooked, and very long; he had on a tippet like those
worn by some young ladies she had seen going to the top
of Snowdon in the summer. She did not see his feet. She
could not understand what be said, but he certainly did
speak, and he shook his head at her when he did so." Just
at this time, "Throll, throll, throll" announced that his
fairy Majesty was at the door. The old woman declared
the language to be identical with that used by the fairy
which had vanished about fifty-five years ago, on being
unintentionally touched with the bit of the bridle by.her
father, near Clogwyn Coch. Fairies,she said, could not bear
to be touched with iron. Just at this time, to the great
consternation of the family, after another "Throll, throll,
throll" speech, the door opened, and in walked a neigh-
bouring farmer, followed by, instead of fairy royalty—a
fine turkey-cock! None of these birds are either reared or
kept within many miles of this farm, and no clue has been
obtained as to where the strange visitor came from.— Car-
narvon Herald.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMAS
AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH RADICALLY CURED.—
For some time past it has been known that hundreds of
the most distressing cases of asthmas, of many years'
standing, have been completely cured by Holloway's Pills.
There is also no doubt but that they are a sovereign re-
medy when taken for any wheezing or shortness of breath,
even of twenty years' standing ; and, as to coughs and
colds, however bad they be, it need only be the work of a
few days to get entirely rid of them by the means of this
astonishing medicine.
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills effectually cure every
description of Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Rheumatism,
Lumbago, Tic Doloreux, Pains in the Head and Face,
They are recommended to the afflicted, with a con-
fidence, arising from experience, as one of the valuable
results of the improved state of medical science, and the
only efficient remedy ever discovered for these disorders.
The continued authenticated proofs of decided approba-
tion sent unsolicited to the proprietor, from all parts of
the kingdom and from all classes of society, with a ra-
pid sale, and demand for them at home and abroad un-
parallelled, fully warrants the assurance that no person
subject to these disorders will, after a trial, ever be with-
out them. Sold by all medicine vendors. Price 2s. 9cl.
per box. Observe the name of " Thomas Prout, 229,
Strand, Loudon," on the Government Stamp.
MR. BEARD'S PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—We have
been much pleased with the inspection of some portraits
taken by Mr. Beard at his establishment in King William-
street, which indicate astonishing progress made in bring-
ing to perfection the interesting process of photography.
The patentee, with great intelligence and industry, has
successfully devoted himself to the discovery of some
means by which the cold, flat, and shadowy aspect of for-
mer daguerreotype portraits may be corrected. A great
improvement has in this respect been effected by the use
of new chymical agents in the coating and preparation of
the plates. The portraits now produced exhibit a degree
of boldness, and stand out with a relief greatly desiderated
in all the earlier specimens of the art. The discoveries
made by Mr. Beard, jun., in the method of colouring,
render the portraits agreeable and life-like, while the bre-
vity of the period required for a sitting, compared with
what was formerly requisite, enables the operator to catch
at once the characteristic expression of the countenance,
which is the more natural as the sitter is not obliged to
remain longer than a few seconds in a fixed position.
From the increased sensitiveness of the plates, portraits,
we have been assured, can now be taken in the dullest
weather, if not densely foggy, in all respects as good as if
taken in the sunshine. A new mode of copying portraits
has also been brought into operation, from which photo-
graphs are obtained as much smaller or larger than the
originals as may be desired, with the best possible effect.
In addition to his establishments at the Polytechnic Insti-
tution, in Parliament-street, and in the city, we are glad
to learn that it is Mr. Beard's intention to open several
others in different parts of the metropolis, which will ob-
viate the only remaining inconvenience arising from the
delay which unavoidably takes place in his numerous visi-
tors having to wait their turn.—Times, April 22.
