THANKS. I thank Thee, Father, for the summer time, The golden days of glory and delight- Tbe day a when the glad year was in its prime, Warmed by Thy lore, and by Thy anile made bright And for the peaceful armies of the flowers That hang their banners oat above the aod Saluting with aweet soents the passing hours, And blessing me, I thank Thee, 0 my God. I thank Thee for the melody of rills, And for the glad bird.maaic in the air And for the eeboes of the purple hills. And ehildren'a voices at their evening prayer. I thank Thee for the ruah of mountain streams, And for the beauty of the quiet lake Ahd for the generous warmth of daneing beams, And for a world grown happy for Thy sake. I thank Thee for the eool, oalm eommer aea, The playful ripple ef the geoile waves, And for huge billows tossing restlessly, And for their muaio in the moea lined caves. I thank Thee for the long sweet days of light, And for the gloaming with its hues sublime I thank Thee for put seasons of delight, That came to me with the glad summer-time. I tlank Tbee for the summer of my life And now that winter cometh to its place, With darker daye and rougher storms of strife, I meet it with brave heart and steadfast grace. Thou who bast blessed me in my brighter days, Wilt bless me still amid the frost and anows And lyiri, Thy happy ohild will sing Thy praiae Till life shall end in endless sweet repose. L

What is that which flies without wings?— An arrow. A manifest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness. Happiness is no other than soundness and perfection in mind. What Columbus Did. notion crossed hiiA and he crossed an ocean. Experienced husbands can tell when their wives are about to ask sor money by the way they purse their mouths. What is that from which, if you take the whole, some will remain ?—The word whole- tome. A wit once asked a peasant what part he performed in the great drama of life. "I mind my own business," was the reply. An economical man who bought a coat much too small for bim, did not sell it again, as he was advised, but very wisely let it out. "Jeff, why am you like de cedar?" "I guvs it up, Sam; I can't tell ye." 'Case he stays green both Summer and Winter." An Irishman tells us of a fight in which there was only one whole-nose left in the crowd hand that belonged to the taykettle." Adam Smith defined man s "animal that makes bargains no other animal does this no dog exchanges bones with another." The reason an urchin gave for being late at school was that the boy in the next house waa going to have a dressing down with a bedcord and he waited to hear him howl. A little girl busy in making apair of worsted slippers for her father, said to a young com- panion near her,' You are very lacky you are; your papa has only got one leg." "Grandma," said a shewd child "do you like some candy?-'—Yes, dear, I should like some" —"Then if you will bay me some I'll give you half "said Polly. "Father do ships make nails?" —"No, my son why do you ask?"—"Because I heard our oapt&in say that the ship had made two tacks in the last half hour.' An Irishman when asked by a lady whether he would t lake a glass of Sherry or a glass of whisky-punch, answered that he would ta e the sherry while her ladyship was mixing the punch. Which side of the street do you live on Mrs. Kipple ?" asks a counsel, cross-examining a witness. On cither side, sir. If you go one way it's on the right side if you go the other way, it's on the left.' Truth is the bond of union and the basis of human happiness. Without this virtue there is no reliance on language, no confide mee in friendship, no securitv in promises and oaths A young lady, recently married to a farmer one day visited the cow-houses, when she thus interrogated her milkmaid—" By-the-by, Mary which ef these cows ia it that gives the butter- milk?" "There are some things that will never be hurt by falling," growled an old man in mar- ket the other morning. w What's them ? inquired the market keeper.—•" Prices," said the old man "they're so awful slow in falling they'll never smash." A man who passes through life without marry- ing is like a fair mansion left by the builder un- finished. The half that is completed runs to decay from neglect, or becomes at beat but a sorry tenement, wanting the addition of that which makes the whole useful. A Cockney tourist met with a Scotch lassie going barefoot towards Glasgow. Lassie," says he I should like to know if all the peo- ple in this part go barefooted? "Part on 'em do, and the rest on 'em mind their own busi- ness," was tbe rather settling reply. There is frequent mention in the news from South Wales about a compromise proposed by Mr. Brogden, of introducing the double shift. Double shift, indeed! If the miners go on as they have been going on lately, the best shift they could accept woulrt be to shift themselves off altogether. A Neglected Poet.—To look at Briggs, one wffuld think what soul for poetry beat be- neath that shirt-bosom. The time he fell in love with Julia Topsle, daughter of old Com- modore Topsle, the Promethean spark was fan- ned into a perfect holocaust, In a Shakespe- arian mood he indited a sonnet to her eyebrows.^ He went and read it to her. These are the first few lines. TO BilK STEBBGWS. Fair arches, springing from her nose's bridge, They dangle on each superciliary ridge; And in the centre thoae two arches splioe— Inaaliate arober, could not one suffice? < They hang above each lovely cheek ao dear, 1 Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear; • And every time—— Here Julia commenced chevying him round the room with the batt of her father's big tel- ( escope, and the commodore's artificial leg I played upon his rear as he hastened down tbe frontsteps. Briggs took it much to heart, and ] threatened to burst all links of habit, & emigrate i to the South Sea Islands, where things are run on the Rose Mackinlay plan. Said he in bit- ter tones, "I will take a savage woman, she shall rear my dusky race," which was the first intimation that he possessed a "dusky race." It looks strange of Briggs,—he always passed himself off for an innocent old bachelor. We suggested that we might fiud a savage woman somewhere in the city here to take care of bis progeny. But no, he will have them learn to "dive and run, catch the wild goat by the tail and hurl their lances at the sun." We an- swered that if the goats out there were any- thing like those that roam over our suburban sand hills, his boys bad rather keep out of j the way. They can butt a man through a 3 brick wall in no time. "Ah, Julia, Julia!" murmured he, "methinks I see my Julia!"

PEMBROKESHIRE SPRING ASSIZES.' (Continued from our second page) Mr Bowen I tbink it is only fair to the gentle' men who represent the bank to say that the terms are most liberal towards us. A verdict was then given for the plaintiff for £14,883 lis 3d. The court then adjourned. TUESDAY. The oourt assembled to day at half put ten o'clock. CHARGE OF PLACING BTonB ON A LINE OF RAILWAY. Stephen Phillips was charged with malieioasly placing two Btones upon the Whltland and Taff Vale Railway with intent to upset an engine and trucks using the said railway at Clydeyon the 11th of Sep- tember 1872. Mr B. T. Williams, (instructed by Mr W. M. Grif- fiths) prosecuted: Mr Henry Allen (instructed by Mr W. E. George, of Newcastle Emlyn) defended. David Rees I am engine driver on the Whitland and Tafl Vale Railway. On the 11th September last, I went up with an engiae and tracks from Whit- land to Glogue. Glogue is 12 miles from Whitland. I know the place where I saw the stones. I passed the place about 20 minutes past S going up: it was half a mile from Glogue. The fireman was on the engine with me: the tracks were empty. We were going up for ballast. There were no stones at the place then. In about 15 or 20 minutes we returned the train consisted of an engine and 6 trucks of ballast. Bobert Ward, the manager, the fireman, and myself were on the engine the trucks were fall of ballast, and the workmen from 8 to 10 were in them. We observed a man in the middle of the road between the two rail". He did not see me before I blew the whistle he had his back towards us. The prisoner turned round, saw the traia, and ran away. We saw two stoneB on the rails, one on each side. The largest stone was from 301b to 401b. The other was smaller, about lOlbs perhaps. I ap- plied the break to stop the train and slackened speed. We could not stop the train before coming to the stones: the train went over the stones at a slow space: we went over the stones and passed about 20 or 30 yards beyond. The engine crushed the stones. It 1 had not slackened speed, the stones would very likely have thrown the train off the road. When the train stopped I sent the fireman and Ward to catch the prisoner. They caught him be was brought to the engine. He seemed rather frightened. After the train stopped, I saw two little boys as the prisoner was being brought back. I have learnt since they were bis brothers: they were from 10 to 12 years of age. They ran down the embankment to look at the stonea after they were erushed: the line was in a side cutting. Gross-examined: The point I mentioned is be- tween the Glogue Qaarries and Hannmaoh, which is nearer to Whitland. There is no village at Lfan- firnach there are a good many houses there. The priaoner had his face towards Llanfirnach. I often see persons walking along that part of the line: a great many persons are employed at the mines at Llanfirnach, and also at that time at Glogue. There was a high road within 10 or 15 yards going parallel with the line there was a fence on the bank. I can't swear that the road was fenced off from the line at that time. There had been stonee placed on the line 7 or 8 times before that, and there were JEtD reward offered. The line is not open for trade: no one has a right to ge ton the truck: the men are given a11 lift" in them. There is a piece of rock that stands up at that spot. The boys came close to where the stones were. The rook was on the same side as the road, 'where the boys were. After I pulled up, I saw the two boys they came down after the prisoner. The prisoner ran off the line he stood still after he got off the line. There is a peice of high ground upon which he stood. I never lost sight of him he waa standing still when he was caught. I don't know his father is em- ployed in the Glogne Quarry. The line is ballasted with slates from the Glogue Q iarry. It was the same kind of stone with whioh the line is bal- lasted. By the Judge When I first saw him in the road he was standing on the line between the rails. We went about 9 times a day by the spot, about onoe every hour. Robert Ward I am foreman to Mr Lawis, the eon- tractor for the completion of this Bailway. I waa on the engine on its return journey on this oeeasion. I started from GIogue from 20 minutes to a quarter to six. In about 6 or 7 minutes we came to the place where the stones were on the line. Before I saw the stones, I saw prisoner on the line. The engine driver whistled. The prisoner was standing with his back towards the engine. He ran off: the driver said there is a stone on the rail: I said there were two; one on each rail, nearly opposite each other. The driver put the break on, and tried to stop. We slackened pace, but could not stop. If we had not slackened paoe, it is likely we sbould have been thrown off. The stones were crushed. Before the engine came to a stand, I jamped off the engine and ran after prisoner. The fireman oaught him I said to prisoner—"Come on, young fellow, you must go with me." He said—" I did not do it, no in. deed, no indeed." He said it in Welsh, and English. The prisoner was frightened, and pale and shaking. Cross-examined: The fireman is not a Welshman: he professes to bean American. I am an English, man. When the fireman went up to him, he was standing on the bank. I did not Bee him touoh the stones. I have seen the prisoner's father once: I did not know he worked at Glogue. Mr John Owen is the contractor of the Qaarry, and the ehief promoter of the line. James M'Ewen, fireman, in answer to Mr Allen, said: I went up to the prisoner on the bank. He was standing still. I collared him after speaking to him. I asked him if he plaoed the stones on the line. I did not understand his answer. He spoke in Welsh. I took him back to the engine. John Jones: I live near Glandwr, in Llan- firnach parish. On the 11th of September, I went up the line. I saw the pi if oner and two little boys. I don't know who the boys were: they were going before me in the same direction as myself towards Glogue. I overtook the prisoner: the prisoner aaked me where I was going. I told him I was going up to meet the engine that was on the line. He asked me if I was going down with the engine I told kijp I was if I should be allowed. I walked on for about a quarter of a mile when I met the engine. It slackened pace, and I jamped up into the track next the engine. The place where the stones were was pointed out to me. The engine stopped there. I was going up on the left hand rail, and did not observe any stones on the line. I overtook the prisoner going up after I had passed the spot where the stones were found. I saw no other person bn the line expect the prisoner and the boys. Cross-examined: I had no other business except to have a ride on the engine. I only wanted to be earned home. I met the boys. I was not quite sure the engine would stop at any plaoe beside Glogue. I was looking out for the engine. By the Judge I am acquainted with the prisoner: he had nothing in his bands when I found him. 1 saw no stones on the line. Esther Evans, in answer to Mr Allen, said: I know the piisoner's father: he is employed at the Glogue Quarries he has been there two or three years. On the 11th of September, I saw a boy run past my house: no one was with him, it was be- tween 5 or 6 o'clock. I live about 50 yards from the railway. I know the road by the line: there is a good traffic on the road. By the Judge: The boy ran through a plantation towards the road, that runs paraUel with the rail- way. There was a small fence between the road and the line it is not a whole fence there are gaps in it. I did not know the boy who ran by my house. I knew the prisoner previously. By Mr Williams: 1 have no belief as to the boy. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr Allen ably addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner, contending that the prisoner's conduct in standing on the embankment after leaving the line on the alarm of the whistle, was inconsistent with his guilt. He suggested that the real explanation of the matter was that the little boys spoken of by the witnesses had been engaged in manufacturing mud pies" on the line, and so formed the heap which the witnesses saw. No stones or pads of them had been produced, and it was probable that what was placed on the line was of a softer material than Btone, and was crushed by the engine. The learned counsel referred iu detail to each point of the evidenoe, and concluded an able address by calling upon the jury to acquit the prisoner. Samuel Evans gave the prisoner a good character, and said that all the neighbourhood would give him the same character. The prisoner was a tailor. HH Lordship summed up the evidenoe, and the jury found the prisoner not guiity. CHABGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. William Patrick was charged with obtaining by false pretences from Lewis Henry Evans and Archi- bald SoottL^wson he sum of £ 22 15?. with intent to defraud them of the same at Hannmaoh, about the 18 h of April, 1872. Mr Williams (instructed by Mr W. John) prose- cuted; Mr Bowen, Q.C, and Mr Bowen Rowlands (instructed by Mr Pnc-) defended. Edward Rees I am a servant in the employ of Messrs. Evans and L^son. The piisoner was the captain of the LUiitirnaeit mines. Messrs. Evans and Lawson, of London, are the proprietors of the mine. I assisted the prisoner to measure the work the priaoner measured, and I put down the work. In the month of April, 1872, we measured Messrs. John 0 ove!1 and CJ'S work done in the mouth of March, 1872. The prisoner told me the dimerous: 2 fu'hytns 1 foot h;gb, and they dG. ducted thrse f-^er from the old rna^lf, on a s^onyfor ibe work of the previous mouth. The height wag 1 fathom 4 fdet: :he length 5 fathoms 4 feet. Tè:) to* WHP 9 fathom*, 2 fent 8 inches. I wrote the entries in the book at tbe time in the prisoner's presence. I gave the account to the prisoner either tbit evening or the next morning. After making the entries, I made the calculation before them, ana returned the book to prisoner. On Slat May, 1872, I was with priaoner when he measured the work of Owen and Co. for thf, month of May. The total I pnt down at prisoners request: it was 7 fathoms. After making the calculations I handed the bovk to prisoner. When I had it back again, something was added in pencil on 31st of May I don't know whose handwriting it waa. I had the book back from prisoner. The addition was 7 fathoms. Added to the other it was 14 fathoms. Cross-examined oy Mr BJwen I merely went as 1 prisoner's friend to help him. A pitman held one end of the tape and prisoner the other. I put the figures down: Owen is what is called a taker. Owen had 6 men under him. I don't know how many takers there were in the month of March. From the book I see there were 9. The work was aU ascer- tained in the same way. I put down the figures, and some time afterwards gave up the book to the prisoner. I have been eight years at the mine to the 16th of this month. The prisoner was there when I went there: he left in August last year. There were about 6 takers in May. John Owen did not complain I had not given the oorreot amount of the May acoount. I oil not hear it till I was be. fore the magistrates. I went before the •'Jrand Jury in the Miohaelmas Quarter Sessions: they threw out the bill. In the month of February, I was again examined before the magistrates about the same matter. When before the magistrates the first time in August last, I heard there was a mistake in the account; they did not find me wrong, because I was right. I heard there was a mistake last August be- fore the magistrate?. There is an alteration in pencil. I can't say the figures are not in the hand- writing of the prisoner. I don't know whose they are. The original entries were taken in pencil; and I afterwards inked them. I inked all the figures up to the moment I gave the book out of my hand. The figures are carried out in the Money Ledger. Lewis Henry Evans: I live at Belle House' South Weald, Essex. In eonjano'ion with Mr Liwson, I am proprietor of the Llanfirnach Mine. The prisoner was oaptain and general manager. It was his duty to measure the work of the takers he sent me in the first instance full accounts of the work done, and a oash statement showing the total amount required for the next pay day. After examination, I sent him a cheque for amount of statement: if there were any errors, oor- reotions were made. It was his duty to pay the men. Referring to the statement for March, 1872, sent by tbe prisoner in his handwriting: it was sent in the discharge of his duty. The gross sum represented as required is JE304 58 7d. It is in the hand- writing of prisoner except the signature of John Owen. Both papers were together. The paper purports to be receipfed by John Owen. The work said to be done by John Owen, in Maroh, 1872 was 110 fathoms a feet 8 iMbes. The balanoe of the amount paid to him is represented as J621159 7J. In conneqnenoe of the receipt of those 1 sent a cheque for JE304 5s 7J which included the sum due to Owen. I produce the cheque paid by my bankers it is en- dorsed William Patrick it is in his handwriting. Pay day was the Bocond Saturday in the month, 13th of Apri'. The prisoner returned the acoount with a cost sheet. In the cost sheet, there is an entry of the amount of money paid to John Owen it states the amount paid to be JE21 15s 7d. I have also a cash aecount for the month of Maroh it is in the prisoner's handwriting: he acknowledges the receipt of £30453 7d. I have a paper given me by John Owen: it is in prisoner's handwriting. It shows the work done byfOwen to be 9 fathoms 2 ft 8 inches the amount due is J618 145 7d, showing a deficiency of £2 16a: there ia an item of 4s for tramning. I producefa paper supplied by priaoner: it is his handwriting with e scieption of aome corrections; it is a similar statement for the month of May. Anotherpaper accompanying it shows the work done by Owen to be 14 fathoms. The amount represented to be due to Owen was £33198 61. I sent a cheque for the whole amount said to be due— £ 247. I pro- duce the cheqafr: it has William Patriok on the back. The prisoner sent back the cost sheet: it shows the work done by Owen to be £33 19s 6d. The prisoner acknowledged he received this sum the£33 19s 61 was irsclndedin the cheque for £ 247. It was the prisoner's duty to keep an account of work done by the day labourers. With regard to the May account I produce another paper given me by Owen: it is in the handwritirg of prisoner. It states the quantity of work done by Owen in May, 1872, was 11 fathoms, and the money paid was £24168 6d. It was also the prisoner's duty to keep the acoount of the day labourers' labour. I produce the paper, whioh is in prisoner's handwriting excepting the signature. There is an entry of money due to Thomas Davies, watchman, 15 days at 2a 6J,-£1 178 6d. It was for watching coal at Narberth Road. I came down to make the payments due on that sheet. I made all the payments except two: one was Thomas Davies and the Other Edward Rees. On Monday tbe prisoner produced a receipt for tbe sum of fl 178 61. He had all the money about J640 or j650 left in the box, and the key of the safe. I produce the receipt. The body of it is in the prisoner's hand writing. I did not know any person of the name of Thomas Davies, as a watcher of coal at Narberth. Cross-examined I am an accountant: my partner is a lawyer. The oash statement is sent up to show the amount required for work. The gross amount is put down for 'tutwork.' With the exception of £117s. 6d. the money in the oash box was all right. We claim Yelindre as well as Llanfirnach. I pur- chased from a gentleman named Turner, who owned Yelindre and Hannrnaoh. When we took posses- sion of Llanfirnach, we found prisoner there. Mr Turner died, and left prisoner £ 100. I began the Chanoery proceedings with the executors. I know that an affidavit had been submitted to prisoner :I saw prisoner afterwards in London. My partner went down and took a statement from pris- oner's lip*. He did not take a cut and dried affidavit to prisoner. We requested him to make the affidavit he declined to make it. He did not say be ooold not make it because the statements were not oorreot. I knew he has made an affidavit on the other side. The affidavit was made in July, 1872. The proceedings before the magistrates took pIaoe. in August. All the obarges were gone into before the magistrates: two bills were presented at the Michaelmas Quarter Ses- sions, and thrown out. They were the same charges as are being now investigated. I swear that the charge in respect of the £ 1 17s 6d was not included. Re examined I found out the frauds when I came to pay the men. John Owen I am a miner and have been working at Llanfirnach. I am in the habit of taking a job for myself and other men that is oalled a taker. Prisoner paid me alone, and I paid the other men under me. I receieved the papr-r produced from prisoner: it shows the work done by me in March, 1872, The sum is £ 18 19a 7d. after dednotions. Tbe work was 9 fathom 2 feet 8 inches. The money I received £18 195 7d. I signed a paper for him I took it to be right, I did not read it. Prisoner gave me the paper now produced for the month of May I received jE24 19a 6d. That is the amount in the paper. The work done was 11 fathom. On the yellow paper, I see the receipt with the name John Owen: I believe I did sign it it is seldom I take any notice of what I do sign. In August last I had a conversation with prisoner about the aoooun's in respect of the work in the mine. I don't remember what he said. He requested me to burn the papers. Cross examined by Mr B/wen I did not say before the magistrates that prisoner requested me to burn the papers. I did not sav it before the Grand Jury last October. I was asked the question the other day by the lawyer before the magistrates. I was never asked before by anybody. Prisoner requested some other person to tell me to burn the papers. I am now in the employment of tho prosecutors. I have not been aaked to maketa" affidavit in the Chancery proceedings. Prisoner gate me a paper with the amount I was to distribute among the men. Anything extra doe to me would not appear in the paper. In March, I was not engaged in proving another vein in the foot wall. I did not claim some extra work, and ask prisoner for an advance. I have no reoollection, but if I did we squared up befjre the pay day. In June, there was a mistake of four fathoms in my work taken down by Edward Rees. There was a Btnaller quantity^of work put down than I had done; Generally we made shoots for the lead, but got nothing txtra for it. I did not ask for something extra for, that about the end of May. The receipts are in my handwriting. I can't read English. 1 can tell what the figures are. Re-examined The amount I received in March appears in one of the papers it ahows I received £J8 19s 7d. I did not teceive the amount £2116. 6d: The papers for May shows tbe amount I received j624 168 6J I did not receive J633 19s 6d. T kept no account of my work in any month, nor of the money paid me. William Thomas; I am a pitman of the Llanfirnach mine. In August last on pay day, I saw prisoner, lie brought me the paper produced on the Monday afterwards. Ho a»ked me if I would sign tbe paper: I signed it he told me to sign it for Thomas Davies. Prisoner gave me the money, £1 17s 61. to keep for myself. I told him I would not. He requested me to send it to Thomas Davies, for watching at the works. There was a man named Thomas Davies working at the mine: he was nut a wa'cher or taker. I returned the money to prisoner tho following Tuesday. I asked prisoner for what Tnomas Davios it was be said it was fjr Thomas Davies for watching. He wanted me to keep it for myself: be requested me to send it after Thomas Davies to Glamorganshire he gare me no address. I have been acquainted with Llanfirnach minus for nine years, I did not know the Thomas Davies he referred to' I went baok with the money, when prisoner to k £1.; lnJ reques ed me to keep 17s 6d, as my son had been doiog Home w "k by ctrting for him from Nar- berth road On Mjnday, he tdd me that he h id told Mr Evans, that i'haira3 Davies had gone to Gla. morganshire. Cross examined by M r Bowen Benj. Owen was the watcher: he had been sent to Narberth Road to looks altd aome coal. It was Benjamin Owen's duty* to dry the men's clothes. No one to my knowledge was put to dry the clothes in Owen's absence. I did not go to the office to prisoner ab^ut the bill, £ 1 17" 6d. I made a demand for wor't done by the boys. I don't recollect prisoner said that the work had been done by Thomaa Ihvieq. prisoner had beer away in Lon- don at the time, lie a:>kelj nne to for Thoma Duvies and gave me the money. 1 returned £1 before prisoner was befoie tho magistrates ptAewoort. The 17s 6,1 was not co the bojs, but he gave it. In hen befora the magistrates I behove I said I returned the wh"le of the money to prisoner, but they did not aek whether I had rooeiv, d money for the little boy. I was examined before tbe Griind Jury but not questioned about tLia particular matter. I am quito sura I returned jEt. Hannah Davies, prisoner's servant, was present when I offered him 17a 6J, but not when I offered him the jEL Hannih Davies was not present when prisoner said tho money was due, md we muit settle the account between us. did not claim any thing fi-r what I did during the watch- man's absence. Prisoner did say the person who had iona the work was Thomas Davies. f aaked for a < watchman after his return. I am still in the employ- nent of the mine. I This was the case for the prosecntion. j Mr Bowen addressed the jarv on behalf of the prisoner stating that the prisoner bad been connected with the mines during the previous occupancy of Mr Turner, who died in 1868, and such was Mr Turner's opinion of bill fiielity that he left him £ 100 in his will. Mr Turner's executors would be called, who would tell them that a very large sum, betwoen £30,000 and £40,OCO, passed through his hands from Mr Turner, and never bad there been a suspicion that a single farthing bad been wrongly dealt with or that any- thing wrong had been alleged against him up to the present moment. The priaoner had carried on the business for the prosecutors in tbe same way, and it was alleged that in the month of March he defrauded them of £2 16s. in an account with one John Owen. He would remind them that there were no less than 8 persons including Owen working in the mine, and that the amount of work done by all those persons was no less than £194 7. 6j. It had not been sug- gested that that there was a mistake in any of the aocounts except those of Owen, who was a ganger over six men. They had heard Owen's evidecce be stated that the paper oontained only the work in the payment of whioh his men would share, but when there was extra work it was not put cÍown in the paper. Owen had given a receipt in full, and hit signature was produced, but yet be denied receiving the parti- cular sum of money. He would ask them whether if the prisoner was a rogue, he would not have manipu' lated the other accounts in the same way ? It had j not been suggested be bad done so. The learned t oounsel referred to the fact that an error had been did' covered in the measurement, and also commented on the evidence which had been adduoed in relation to the Chancery proceedings. The prisoner had made an affidavit for the exeoutors of his late employer and refused to do so for tbe prosecutors. He made his affidavit in July, and in August he was proceeded against before the magistrates. One of the protecu. tors was a lawyer and the other aa accountant, and the affidavit of a convicted man would not be worth muoh. If he was not convicted, it vouldbe worth what it was when he made it. The prosecution had shown great anxiety tooonviot the prisoner. The learned counsel made a strong appeal to the jury to carefully oonsider the matter, and expressed his oonfi. dence that tbey would by their verdict preserve to tbe prisoner the character which be had hitherto borne. Mr J. Dumbell, and Mr Burn, executors or the late Mr Turner, gave the prisoner a good character. The former gentleman stated that upwards of j630,000 passed through bis hands, and nothing wrong had beea found in his accounts. His Lordship summed up the evidence. The jury acquitted the prisoner. The prisoner waa then charged with uttering a forged receipt for the payment of money with intent to defraud well knowing the same to he forged, at Llan- firnaoh, about the let July, 1872. The same oonnsel were engaged in this oase also. David Owen deposed that he oarted coal from Nar' berth Road to Llanfirnach Mine last year. He re ceived about £2 in June from the prisoner and not £4 Is q..t The signature to the reoeipt for £4 Is 4jd was not his. In oross'examination, tbe witness oould not tell what rate of wages he reoeived per day, and said that he did not know his brother's handwriting. The Judge said it would not be safe to convict upon suoh evidence and the jury und er his Lordship's direc- tion, acquitted the prisoner. This concluded the business of the assize.

MARCH APPEAL, Inserted by the Rev. J. W. Carter, Vicar of ^Christ Church, Stratford, London, E. All history shows that greater the works greater were the difficulties plaoed in the way of their accom- plishment, and that they were only brought to a sue- cessfal issue by indomitable spirits who would not despair, but persevered against all obstacles. If many labonrers and artizans, tradesmen and mer- chants, generals and admirals, many artists and poeta orators and philosophers, have thus made their name in the world, and have been looked up to as the great men of the age if it is owing to this spirit of inquiry and perseverance being blessed of God, whioh has led to the mighty achievements of science and art in all their branches in these latter days of the world's period so more lasting and beneficial are the results whioh flow from the same spirit of Zealand ardour in all Christian enterprise and labours of love, sustained and supported by fervent prayer, unwavering faith, the sweet promise of Scripture, and the glorious hopes spread to view by the unerring word of God. Thus the apostles were (sustained is their difficult task of undermining and nprooting the old but false religions of their day, thus the early Christians went everywhere preaching tbe Gospel, thus the reformers in Germany and England proclaimed against tbe soul-destroying dogmas of the persecuting Church of Rjme, and in our own day the same kind of spirit supports all who are fighting the Lord's battles against the world, the flesh, and the devil; against vioe, sin, and ignorance, against superstition, error, and false philosophy. But suoh ought to be helped and supported in their arduous labours by the Church of Christ. We ought to bear on another's burdens. We ought to pray for such and give liberally of our substance. Reader, will you kindly help me in my humble efforts to reach the masses of the land through means of the Pablio Press. I thank God that the work is en- larging. but am sorry to add that the expenditure far exceeds the receipts. Up to the 20th of February they exceeded the receipts by £92811 3d. Every week I use 161 envelopes, 406 penny stamps, 91 half- penny stamps. The weekly expenditure is about £5 besides wbieh at the end of each quarter the news- papers have to be paid for their quarter's insertions. Suoh a state of things onght not to be, and need not be, if you would but send a trifle or stamps for the good work. If all your readers were to do so it would more than pay for these insertions. I am not dis- oouraged, but do hope 100 will do your best to help this great work whioh quietly and silently is effecting much lasting good, not only in this land but all parts of the world. The Press is a mighty power. Chris- tians, use it for the Saviour's honour. Contributions or stamps to pay for these in- sertions iu this and 124 other newspapers (whioh are supposed to have two million readers weekly) will be thankfully received by the Rev. J. W. Carter, 7, Avenue-road, Bow, London, E.

A WARNING VOICE. To True and Faithful Memberg of the English Reformed Church !• c, As our reformers did justly separate from the Romish Church so we have just ground also to continue separated from that antichristian party. Let others, under dread of what they call schism, run back into antichristian errors and heresies. Let them, if they are so disposed' forsake pure Christianity, that they may promote the priests' power and adorn their altars with gold and jewels. And let them, in order to en- slave men's consciences and bodies both, sound a retreat to Babylon again. We, I hope, know our duty better, than to run the risk of damn- ing our souls, by becoming renegades to that bloody and wicked party, against whose abomi- nations so many thousands of our ancestors • witnessed,' under racks and torments, and at the stake in SmithbeldI and elsewhere. They believed that what they did and suffered was in obedience to the call of God, saying, come out from the apostate Romish church, my people, that ye be net partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. (Rev. xvii: 4-5,)—And God forbid that any temp- tatiou should bring any of us back again to that sink of all impurities and errors, after we have enjoyed the sunshine of the Gospel, in its purity, and power, so long. Iherefore, seeing we knew what interest we are to keep to, let us be faithful to it, by doing all we can for its security, establish- ment and honour. And if God call us to suffer for it, let us act as the former heroes of the reformation have done before us, that Christ may be glorified and the church edified by us, whether it be by doing or suffering, by life or by death. Though we are not to live to see the great and final destruction of the papacy —the blessed millennium,—or Christ's last coming to judge the world: yet, seeing death is to us the equivalent of all these 10 us. if we be so happy as to get into Paradise. We ought, therelore, accordingly, to spend and improve our time, that we may par' take of the future glory when we go hence. I say, death is the equivalent of all these things to us, if we be so happy as to get into Paradise. For then we shall get the conquest over all antichristain enemies, and be with Christ in a better state than any earthly millennium can be supposed to be, waiting until he come to judge the world, and till we appear also with him in glory, having reassumed our then glorious bodies Remembering now that we are dying and account- able creatures, and that our time is given us for this very end,—that we may prepare for a better world." (liev. U. F.) Dr. Guthrie's death, which occurred early on Monday morning at St. Leonard's deprives the Free Church of Scotland of one of it most ad- vanced leaders, and creates another gap in the ranks of the chiefs of the Disruption. He had for several years relinquished pulpit work, bnt his peu did hardly less service in popularising Presbyterianism than his oratory had previously done in rendering it attractive beyond the Border. The Doctor had reached his 70th year. LIABILITY OF RAILWAY COMPANIES.—At the Birmiugl am county court oa Tuesday dam' H$es were recovered by a plaintiff against the London and North Western Railway Company < for non*punctuality in despatching a train. The plaintiff had booked from Birmingham to Balfast, J via Holyhead, by the Irish limited mail, which he j should have met at StaTord but in consequence ] of the noirarrival of a midland train, the local j train was delayed, and the Irish mail had left I when it reached StafFotd. The judge held that, j notwithstanding the statement on the company's 1 bills that they would not be answerable for the i delay, they had plenty of means of sending 0n t the plaintiff to Stafford, and were therefore lnble 1 for any loss which h. had sustained through missing the Irish mail. H

TENBY. TOWN COUNCIL.—On Tuesday a special meeting of the Town Council was held; present Aldermen Mason, Jenkins, and Alien Councillors W. H. Richards; G Chater, C. H. Smith, J. Gregory, J. Rogers, H. Berkin, R. L. Gordon, andj, M' Kelvie. In the absence of the Mayor, Mr 0. Allen was voted to the chair.—The Town olerk stated that the petition against the Tenby Water Bill bad been presented. The Town clerk read a protest that had been received against the proceedings of a meeting held in the Town Hall on the lltb inst., called for the purpose of ap- prr ving or consenting, if thought fit, to oppose the Bill called the Tenby Water Bill in Parliament by the Town Council. After a considerable discussion, it was ruled by the ohairman that the Council had no aotion in the matter. Mr Chater stated that the opposition to the bill would be oontinued, and that the ratepayers would not be called upon to pay one sispenoe towards the expenses, as it would be defrayed by a publio sub' scription.—The ohairman proposed that the water corn* mittee meet Mr Burns to receive the report on the water supply, and that the chairman of the oommittee then report to the Council their decision. Mr Burns was also instructed to report on the quantity of water now furnished by springs between tbe end of the adit and the point at whioh the adit will emerge on the opposite side of the hill.—The Town clerk stated that be failed to negotiate tbe loan 01 .£600 for continuing the works at the reservoirs, as no member of tbe oouncil would put his name to the bond for seourity. —The Chairman said no one doubted tbe propriety of repairing the reservoirs be had advocated it from the first, and the.£600 was chiefly wanted for that purpose Nearly JE400 had already been spent there, and they must be finished. He would put his name to the bond himself, 80 that the money should be forthcoming.— The oouncil then thanked Mr Allen for bis liberality, and tbe meeting separated. A NATURAL EXCUSE FOR BREAKING OUT of GAOL.—At the Preston Intermediate Sessions, on Saturday, a man named Henry Wilson was charged with breaking out of the County Prison, at Preston, and taking a saw with him. The pri- soner had been put on some work in the barris- ter's room of the court house, and in the absence of the warder he got through the window, and managed to climb to the roof of the prison—a moat dariog act. By getting on the roof of a lower part ot the prison he dropped to the ground and in open day, people passing to and fro past the prison walls, he escaped. On it becoming known that he bad escaped, a number of warders 1 and others set off in pursuit, and the daring fellow was captured. These facts having been proved at the sessions, the learned chairman asked the prisoner if he had anything to say in his defence, to which he replied, Who would < not escape if he had the chance ? Look at Napoleon I. and St. Peter. They both escaped from their confinement, and why should not I ? (laughter) Of course it is human nature." The Chairman: An Angel let St. Peter out, Prisoner: Same with me. If a lady left the door of her bird cage open, the bird would ny away. I did the same thing; I took my" hook" be* cause there was nobody to watch me (laughter)- There was neither lock, bolt, nor bar. 1 had not the least trouble to get out. [ saw a crowd of people outside, and I thought it my duty to join them, because you know I had finished my work (loud laughter).—The Chairman: You broke eat. There is no excuse. Have you any witness to call ?—Prisoner I was by myself. I riid not want any witnesses, I can tell you'— The Chairman sentenced him to au additional three months for his daring attempt.

THE MARKETS. 1 LONDON CORN EXCHANGE- MONDAY. WHEAT.—A quiet tone has prevailed in the ) grain trade at Mirk lane to day. The supply of English wheat has been moderate, and the con- y dition has been hardly so good. With a thin attendance of millers, business has been restricted at about late rates. There has been a fair show of foreign wheat on offer, for which the demand ( has been inactive on former terms. j BARLEY.—A moderate supply of barley has been on offer. The trade has been quiet, at last week's prices. ] MALT has been disposed of on previous quota- tions. OATS. A fair supply of oats has been on the stands. The business doing has been limited, at last week's prices. ( MAIZB has been tolerably firm in value witha quiet demand. BEANS htve changed hands at late rates. PEAS have been quiet and unaltered. FLOUR has been steady in value, with a slow sale. METROPO CATTLE MARKET- MONDAY. The inclement weather has been a great draw- back to activity in the cattle trade to day, and notwithstanding that supplies have beeu short, difficulty has been experienced in obtaining late prices. The receipts of beasts from our own grazing districts have been moderate. In all breeds sales have progressed slowly, and prices have had itdrooping tendency. The best Scots and crosses have sold at about 5s lOd to 6s per 81b. Amongst the foreign supply have been about 340 Gothenburg, ahour 170 Dutch, and 120 Spanish. The demand for them has been heavy, at barely late currencies. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge. shire, we received about 850, from other parts of England about 250, from Scotland,(about 50 head. The show of sheep has been short, but quite equal to the demand. The demand is heavy, and medium qualities are lower. The best Downs and half breds have changed hands at 7s 8d to 8:1 per 81b. The calf trade has been unsettled, and prices are irregular. Pigs have changed hands at late rates. At Deptford there are 60 beasts. METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET- MONDAY. The sepplies of meat on sale here to day are moderate. Trade is less active, but prices remain without especial change. DEPTFORD FOREIGN CATTLE MARKET -MONDA Y. T 1 day a consignment of beasts from the Con- tinent were landed and passed veterinary inspec- tion, and were readily disposed of; the top figure was 5s. 4d. per stone to sink the offal Up to the time of our report no sheep had been reported. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS POTATO MALTK ETS—M OND A Y. There is a steady demand for English potatoes, of which the arrivals are rather short, land tor which extreme prices are obtained. Foreign potatoes also are in fair request, and fully support previous quotations. Best Kent regents, 180s to 245s; Essex and other regents, 140% to 200s: rocks 120s to 140s per ton. BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—MONDAY. A dull feeling prevails, but as holders appear sanguine as to an early return of activity, sales are not pressed, and the deoline in prices, if any, is immaterial. On the Continent there is very little business in prograss, and at New York the trade remains quiet, without alteration in prices Mid and East Kent, £ 5 5s to X7 7s; Weald of Kent, -€5 5s to 96 iOs Sussex, X5 6s to JEH 10s and Farnham and country, 4)5 5s to 97 Os per cwt. CORK BUTTER MARKET—MONDAY. Ordinary Firsts, 140s seconds 140s; thirds, 132s: fourths, 106s; fifths, 62s; sixths 30s. Mild cared: Firsts, 146s seconds 140s thirdr, 135s. In the market, 63 firkins.

GREAT WESTERN. The report of the direc'ors, to be submitted to the pronrietcra at the half yearly general meeting, states that a substantial increase has taken place in the traffic receipts for the past half year ending January, 1871. The balance available for divi- dend among the proprielers of ordinary stock, after payment of the dividends on the guaranteed and preference slocks and other fixed charges, is £400,15110; 4d. This balance will admit of the payment of a dividend on the consolidated ordinary stock at the rate of 6t per cent. per annum, leaving a sum of £ 25,205 14s 3d to be carried forward. The increased expenditure is mainly due to the extension of the staff consequent on reduced hours of labour and to increased wages and enhanced prices of materials, the cost of coal alone exceeding that of the corresponding half year by abouf £ 60,000. Toe outlay on capital acfount during the last half year amounts to £329,800; of which sum £137,154 has been in- curred in the supply of additional rolling stock.

PRICE OF COAL AND COLLIERS WAGES. Colliers in Somerset have received another un. asked advance of 10 per cent on their wages. This is the sixth rise since January 4, 1872, and amounts in all to an increase in the men's earn* ings of 70 per cent. Coal rates at the pit's mouth have in the same period advancej as follows: Best coal, 10s 10d seconds, I is 8d; thiols 128 6d; smalls, 8s 6d. These figures show a profit to the employers greater even than the proportion given to the men while the merchants have recouped themselves for a diminished sale by an extra I percentage. The net result in this district is a 1 scarcity of fuel beyond precedent. THE Disnop OP MOOSOWKE AN WIJTDSOR.—On Sunday Bishop Horden, one of the three prelates recently consecrated in Westminster Abbey, who has been styled Bishop of Moose, Bishop of the Hudson's Bay Territory, and, singularly enough, Bishop of Westminster Abbey, preached in the morning in the parish church of Windsor, and in the afternoon in the parish church of Slough, on behalf of the Church Missionary Society. Bishop Horden will exercise episcopal functions over the district surrounding Moose Fort, at the south west corner of Hudson's Bay, an immense extent of country, entirely under the agents of the Church Missionary Society, and forming part of the vast diocese of Rupert's Land. The bishop gave a most graphic and extraordinary account of bis parish, now changed into a diocese, an unique in' stance. He has been labouring hard for more than 16 years in his present sphere of labour, from which in these days of rapid locomotion it takes eight months to reach England, and he said that for years be had travelled in a canoe alone more than 1400 miles a year. His wife, who remain, out there, and from whom he had not been able to hear once since his departure last year, was a long time the only European of her sex. The cold was so intense that the thermometer was fiequently 50 below zero. He had now a number of c-itecbists, but only three clergymen in the vast territory. There are regular services at various stations by laymen, who will now be licensed as readers, and a great number of heathen have been baptised. It is to be hoped before long that two other missionary bishops will be consec* crated for these remote and scattered parts. The bishop made a great impression by his simple earnestness; and it is to be hoped that he will receive considerable support before he leaves Eng- land in May on his return to a work where be has laboured so zealously as a clergyman, and where now, as a bishop, he will be able to organise an efficient native Church. trilVwY'81^ Epps'8 Coo«A MANUFACTORY.—'Through the sloin^ fh/-°m^nCMr8 Epi?8* Vecentty had an opportunity of y C°?lpUo?tcdand variel Processes the Cocao bean passes thr°u^h ere it is Bold for public use, and, being my v suTtho Plrted I saw ilurin^ Ca Jn ih» ™ u/act0ry' Va brief acoount of the it for' U 13 by Messrs Epps, to fit it Tot a •wholesome and nutritious beveraee mifrlit be of interest to the readers of 'Land and W^er"SM Article in "Land and Water," October It.

DIVORCE COURT. In the Divorce Court on Wednesday before Sir James Hannen, the oaus9 of Mana v. Mann and Milward wa^heerd. The hnphand, who holds a responsible po.-ition in tile Sarveyor-Ganerai'a Department at the MtnrUin?, prayed for a divorce on the ground ol his wi/e'c< misconduct with ths co-respondent. TlItt parties were married at Kensington Clinroh in 185(5, and they went to reside at the M»uritiu«. In 1861 the wifa returned to England, and was followed by her hnsband. When the leave of absenoe expired he returned to his dnties, leaving his wife at 22, Cedar-road, Faiham. The respondent was to Lave followed her huaband to the Mauritius, but btae kept putting it off, and at last she sent him a letter saying that she was no longer his wife, as the co- respondent was the father of one of her ohildren. Sir James Haonen said that no doubt a confession was legal evidence, bat it ahoatd never be aced on if better evidenoe could be produced, or if oorrobo- rative testimony could be given. There would be a decree nisi for a dissolution of the marriage, the co- respondent to have his costs.
