THE BWLLFA DDIT FARM CASE.  THE MATTER SETTLED.  The case of Williams v. Daniel. in which the widow of the late John Williams, Trimsaran, sued Mr. Edward Daniel, J.P., for £1.500 profit, which she alleged her husband should have received from Mr. Daniel for the Bwllfa, Dail farm, which he. Mr. Daniel, wild to the Corporation, was to have been heard to-day. It was alleged by the plaintiff, for whom Mr. Howell. Llanelly, was the solicitor, that Mr. Daniel acted as agent for her husband in the matter of the purchase and sale of the farm. The case would have excited a great deal of interest, hat we understand that itlhas been settled out of court, and that the widow fares very well by the settle, ment.  Thomas Monahan, a millionaire, who died reoenily in Australia, was one of 360 poor emigrants who sailed for that country from Inland in 1839. The ship he took passage on was in such an unto althy condition that ninety of the passengers died on the voyage. How many noticed the Shah's water-beare in England i.' The water is carried in a jar encased in twisted wool, which is kept moist. Owing to the evaporation, the water remains at ! a pleasant temperature in warm weather. Be' fore it is placed in the jar it is filtered, boiled, well shaken to aerate it, and then lefeto. cool. A couple of young ladies' dressed in light white dresses, were sitting on the meats upon the Middle-parade at Eastbourne, when a young gentleman, who was passing, threw down a lighted match with which he had lit his cigar, and the match the dress of one of the ladies on fire. The dress burned quickly, and although an attendant tore the lady's dress ,almost to ribands she was severely burnt. The four senior earls (according to creation) in the English Peerage are sometimes known as the " Cat-skin Earls," from the material ! formerly used to adorn their robes as Peers of Parliament. They are, of course, the Earls of Shrewsbury, D,rby, Pembroke, and Huntingdon ; but the phrase is no longer current coin, as their lordships' robes are now made of the same material ass those of their brethren.  Wesley Elkins, an eleven-year-old boy of Elk township, Clayton County, lowa, has actually murdered his father and step-mother. He drove four miles with his baby sister to a neighbour's house, and said he had found his parents murdered and had fled for protection. He. however, confessed his crime, saying that I he had had "some difficulty with his father," whom he shot. The noise; aroused his stepmother who was then killed with a club by the young fiend in order to escape detection. ; The man who never trespasses is yet to be found, and, this being so, much interest is felt ; in the question that will be asked in the House of Commons—whether spiked wire fences are not dangerous to decency and to limbs. They seem to us to be very little better in theory than man-traps and spring-gams. Trespassing is no doubt a heinous offence, especially in the eyes of landowners, but there should be limits ; 1" to the nature of the summary punishment that I may be inflicted by the trespassed upon. A Russian Imperial romance :—The Emperor of Russia has not only dismissed his brother, the Grand Duke Alexis, from his office of Lord High Admiral of the Russian fleet, but he has exiled him to Siberia, where he is to remain for an indefinite period.

The lady has been ordered to quit Russia, and her complaisant husband has been sent on a cruise round the wor.) lua ram-of war.  —,.:1.F-I.E4ToIiErZ."--ItS mar% Olous ..Itive powers fully txplainel, also showing plainly how to restore Vital Strength and.
