STOCKTON BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—.A meeting of this Board was held on Wednesday morning. Captain Waldy, J.P. (Chairman) presiding.—A letter was read from Mr H. G. Faber, solicitor to the Board, stating that Mr Webster, from whom the Board had agreed to purchase a site for new offices in Nelson-terrace, demanded interest on the purchase money from the let of January instead of the 13th May.—The B rard regarded the demand as very unreasonable, and it was decided that, if Mr Webster persistently rejects the Board's offer to pay him from May, the Building Committee should look after another site.—The Rev. Thomas Law gave notice that at the next meeting of the Board he would call aftention to the present state of the representation of the Union.— There was no other business of note. THRASHING HIS LANDLADY,—A middleaged man named George Harding appeared before the SLockton Borough Magistrates on Thursday morning on a charge of assaulting an old lady named Ann Groan It appeared from the evidence that Harding had been lodging at Mrs Goar's house for some time past, and had got in arrears with his weekly payments. On Saturday night last he returned home rather late, when Mrs Goar asked him to pay her some of the money which was due. Harding thereupon became very excited, bullied the landlady, threatened to get lodgings elsewhere, and wound up by thrashing Mrs Goer in a most savage manner. He dragged her round the room by her hair, knocked her down on the stairs, then pulled her up again and thrust her back on to some chairs, and hurt her very much. Mrs Goar's screams of " Murder !" and "Police !" attracted the attention of a neighbour, who came in and prevented Harding doing the poor old lady any further injury. Shortly afterwards Reuben Goat, Mrs Goar'e son, appeared upon the scene, and, seeing what had happened, struck Harding a blow in the face. Harding now charged Goar with assaulting him.—The Magistrates fined Harding and 14s costs, with the alternative of one month's imprisonment with hard labour. The charge against Mrs G;...-ar's son was dismissed. STOCKTON UNITARIAN SUNDAY SCHOOL'. The Unitarian Sunday scholars have had a glorious time during the race week.

The word " Chocolate " is derived from " Chocolatl," the sound produced by the primitive stones, used to bruise and mix the Cocoa with sugar; wheresis " Cocoa" is the name under which the unadulterated beans of the " Theobronid Cacao" of Linncens are imported into England. Those who wish for Cocoa absolutely pure should ask for the Cocoa Essence originally prepared by Sadbury Bros. 7
