HENRY MOULE.  THE "SMALL BEER" CHRONICLE. To chronicle =all bccr."—Orniva. To the Editor.  Sir,—ik change for the better is always • pleasing eonsideration. and it is still more so when it occuc in a direction where it may have been least expected. Your isontetnporary the Chronicle some years ago gained for itself an unenviable notoriety which had canoed it to be referred to as the" Lying Chronicle." Any alteration of snob an appellation must of course be for the better, and of late it has laid claim to. and I au glad to be able to congratulate it upon having fairly and conclusively earned, the title of the " Sit ALL PAIR estitonteXi” which may henceforth be substituted for the less delicate but perhaps hardly less applicable epithet before refurred to. A brief perusal of its bust few numbers would show that your contemporary as given good proof that is entitled to thi• con.ideratioc, for after making itself of late extremely ridiculous by giving sundry artMlem of twaddle under the head of bherborne, it taps its new career by • long report (including. pr.lreatint ef the dunets)—of the "brilliant scene" rresented at • sixpenny hop, after • nineronny tea. —Yours obediently,  811ERRORNIENSIS.  HORRIBLE MORDIR OF • F•MILT•—Fiee pampa belonging to • Jewish family, consisting of a mother. aged aged 72. • father, mother. and two children, occupying • miserable eottage in the suburb of glialsloweoka, Odessa, were found murdered on the morning of the Ilth. Toe motive for the crime is supposed to bare been robbery.although this poor family weld not have poaseased snore tLan • few roubles in the world. incepting three cows and • horse, Done of which were taken. A man has been arrested on surpieiou. MODULI, Cusgous.—Preeentatious and testimonials we largely on the increase; this modern custom apps•rs to extend to almost every household, for no auspicious event is allowed to pass without its being marked by some pleasing souvenir; Birthdays, Christenings I Marriages, the mesons of the year such as Christmas, New Year. &e., invariably received special 001131prillut, ation. The attention of one of the great London Manufacturers, Mr. J. W. Benson, of 25, Old Bourbstreeta and of the City Steam Factory, Ludgate-hill, has been directed to this subject. With the view of giving more artistic effect to this custom of society, he has published • most interesting Illustrated Pamphlet upon Watches and Clocks, else one upon artistic Geld Jewellery, Silver and Electro-plate • all are profusely illustrated with choice designs, &nisi., sent post free for 21. each, thus bringing within the reach of those who live even thousands of miles away from London, one of the largest and most artistic collectiotui which can be seen in any part of the world; and, if nenvnavuyt designs are prepared to illustrate any special case. , HODIRR IIIVIIRT10•11••—That greet invention Lne " Chroleofirarli,' which times all the prinenyal events of the day, and has revolutionised end superseded the clumsy old-fashioned "Stop-watch." seems likely to be eclipsed in fame by that still greater and more useful invention the " Keyless Wait-b."

The enormous number tem, crew by rod to all parts of the world. is • eonVineing proof of their greet utility. Tbe penis. as which they are sold range front 5 to 1110 guineas. Thousands of them are manufactured by Mr. J. W. Beeson. of Old Bead Street, and of the Steam FactotrYi Ludgate Hifi, London, who sends post free for W. a moat interesting historical pamphlet upon watch making.
