jMtlmIL CARNARVON ATHLETIC 2ND ELEVEN V. UNION ROVEBS.—Played at Pant last Saturday, before the match between the Heroes and Colts, and did not as usual end in a draw, but in a win for the Athletics by one to nil. CAKNAKVON YorNG HEROES v. COLTS. Played in wretched weather, which prevented good play being shown by either eide last, Saturday, on the Colts' ground, end resulted in a win for the Heroes by one goal to nil. Simmons, Howe, Hushed, Stewart, Kemp, and Gottrell, played well for the Colts, as did Bailey their goalkeeper. For the Heroes, the most noticeable were lorn Owen and Evans forward, Eyans scoring. Iheir goalkeeper Roberts was again in grand trim, and virtually saved the game for his side. On the whole, the Colts may be said to have played a much better game than their opponents The game was characterized by the utmost good feeling throughout. m BANGOR F C. V. TBINITT CCLLSGE (DUBLIN.)— This match was played at Bangor on Saturday last, This match was played at Bangor on Saturday last, and resulted in a victory for the home team, by four goals to one. The ground was in bad con. dition, owing to a drizzly rain which set in early in the'forenoon, and continued till evening. The leather was set in motion at 3 o'clock, by Bangor. The play for about 15 minutes was pretty level, till a clever run was made by one of the Bangor I forwards (Robert Williams), which ended in the ball being sent hoiae, thus scoring the first goal for Bangor. The ball being once more sent roll- ing, the Dublin men were not long in making an I I attack on the Bangor gC"ll, and after a very fair!; run by one of the Dublin men, the ball was sent through the posts, thus equalising matters. After I half-time, the Dublin men tried hard to follow np tuair fiist success with another score, but in vain. Ther- was warm work at the Bangor posts for about 20 minutes, and Hewitt was kept well employed, as shot after shot WAS made, but with- out success. Eventually, after a scrimmage, Joseph Jones secured the leather and made a short run, then passed to Davy Jones, who brought it well up the field, then centred it to Richard Wil- liams, who carried it almost to the posts, and then passed to Smith., (captain), who sent it home. This, with two other goals scored by Willie Lewis and Jones and Williams was the fourth. The game I was characterized throughout by the good feeling displayed on both siùes. MOLD v. DzxMGK.—These teams met to play their return match of this season on the ground of the former last Saturday, the gime, according I to the decision of the referee, resulting in a draw -one goal each—although it is but right to add I that the Mold players and umpire elaim. a victory for their team by one goal to nil. The visitors won the toss, and commenced play with a very strong wind in their favour, which blew right into I the Mold goal, and continued throughout the first half of the game. It was therefore a matter of great dimcutty—almost an impossibility-to carry the ball to the Denbigh goal, and the result was that the play was, during the first half, almost constantly in the direction of the Mold goal. But though this was so, the Denbigh forwards failed to score on one occasion, owing, to some extent, to want of judgment on the part of the Denbigh forwards in not allowing fox the wind when making their shpts, and also to the good play of the Moid backs, especially Pykins, who made a very good defence of his charge. After the change of ends, the wind subsided somewhat, though it was still very strong, and the Mold men were evidently determined to make better use of it than their opponents, and after several good attempts, which were, however, unsuccessful, they succeeded in lowering their opponent's citadel amidst cheers. On one other occasion, a Mold player fiput the ball between the posts Irom a corner kifck, but as it did uot come in contact with anotner player, of course, no goal was allowed. The remainder of the game was pretty even, and on the whole, the play was fairlf creditable to both sides, considering the wind wh.ch prevailed, which rendered play rather awkward, A few minutes before time was called, the Denbigh forwards ran the ball to the Mold goal, whence it was repelled twice or thrice by the Mold goal keener, but the visitors claimed that it had passed over the line, this was stoutly disputed I by the Mold umpire a ad players, but the referee decided in favour of Denbigh,*and the match ended as above. Mold one, Denbigh one (disputed.) For Mold, Simon, goalkeeper, did good work, and he was well supported by Dykins (who is as good, as a back player, as in his old place on the wing), and the other backs, Jones, Morgan and O'Neill were conspicuous amongst the forwards. For the visitors, the brothers Tudge as usual were very serviceable, and E. Hughes played with judgment and disctetion. The forwards who deserve mention were D. Williams and J. Evans, and the others played fairly well. The respective teams were as follows -Mold: Goal, J. bimon backs P. Dykins, E. Jones and Robert Lloyd; half-backs, Farrel'l, Goodwin and vVilliamsi; forwards (right-wing), Williams and Jones (left. wing), J. T. Morgan and J. O'Neil (centre) E. Jones.-Deubigh: J. Jenkins; backs, Hughes aud J. Tudge; half-backs, W. M.W. Jones and W. Tudge; forwards, D. Williams and E. Jones (right-wing), R. Jones and J. Evans (left. wing), aud Eyton Williams (centre).—Empires: Mr S. Williams (Mold), and W. Williams (Denbigb).-Referee: T. Godfrey Edwards (Deubigh). MADoc V. PJBNRHYN.—A match was played at Portmadoc, on Saturday, between the Penrhyn and Mndoc Football-Clubs, on a field ft Glan r- afon, kindly lent by Mr Robert Jones. Play oommeucod about 3 o'clock, and was all through ;n favour of the home team, who won by five goals to none. It is but fair to state that the Penrhyn Club was only formed this season, and their entering into competition thus early, showed a I praise worthy zeal.

NORTHERN WELSH FOOTBALL ASSOCIA- TION. MEETING OP THE COMMITTEE. A meeting of tho committee of this association was held at the Royal Hotel, Carnarvon, on Monday night last, T. f.B. Farrington, Esq ia^tue chair. There were present representatives of the follow- ing clubsCarnarvon Athletic (Mr George Bugbird), Bangor F.C. (Mr J. Smith), Denbigh (Mr Wynnel Edwards), Portmadoc (rtt P.. O. Jones), Llandudno (^r Hereee), Bhyl (Mr Smalley), Beaumaris (Mt Jones), Heroes (Mr Roberts), Colts (Mr Stewart), BaDgor Atbletic (Mr Davios), Flint (Mr Roberts).. Tho secretary, Mr D'Oyly, Walking, lead the minutes of the last meeting. Tho that item on the agenda was the considera- tion of the protest lodged by Bang >r against the Carnarvon Athletic Club. The protest, was rerd b1 Mr W'atkins, together with a letter by Mr Henry Hughes, secretary of the Bangor. F.O., in which he stated that MI Bertio Newton had admitted, that, as stated in the protest, a change of goalkeepers had taken place during the garno. Mt Smith, on behalf of Bangor, claioietl to have the match played over again cn the ground stated in the protest. Mr Bugbird, for the Chtnarvon Club, (ipmanded that Mr Smith should prove that this was a protest at all in tho true BtnHtl of tho word, and according to rule 20. Mr Smith said that rule 20 ought not to be taken alone, but in conjunction with rula 21, tnd he maintained that even if a protest had not been lodged at all, it was perfectly competent for the committee to adjudicate on the matter.—Mr Bugbird contended that according to the rules the protest should have been made on the field—Mr Smith said he did not know on the field the rules the pretest should have been made on the field.-Mr Smith said he did not know on the field that the change bad been made. -Mr Bugbird said that he ought to have known.—Mr Stewart asked when the protest was made, and thought that unless it was made on the field it could not be upheld.—Mr Smalley asked if rule 20 had ever been set aside.—The chairman could not say. After some discussion, Mr Stewart moved that the protest be not he&ri, basing his resolution on rule 20, which says that all protests must be formally intimated to the referee, and to the competing club before the club protesting leaves the ground I on which the match may have been played, etc. Mr Roberts, of the Heroes, seconded the motion.— Mr Jones, of Beaumaris, moved as an amendment that the protest he heard, aud said it would be very hard lines if the protest were not hoard. Mr Hersee seconded the amendment.—Mr WTnne I Edwards said that it was not a matter of Jbard lines, but of rules which they had to deal with; and these rul,;s were, or ought to be, as unalterable as the laws of the Medea and Persians. The amendment was put to the meeting after some further discussion when five voted for it a\id four against it, and it was decided therefore to hear the protest. The representatives of Portmadoc, Bangor Athletic, Beaumaris, Llandudno, and Flint, voted in favour of the amendment, while Denbigh, Rhyl, Colts, and Heroes, voted against it. Tne committee then proceeded to consider the protest itself.—Mr Barber, of Bangor, said he had noticed the change of goalkeepers, and called Mr Smith's attention to it about 5 minutrs after the commencement of play.—Mr Bugbird asked how it was then that Mr Smith did not p,t once pro- test. A few minutes before, Mr Smith had said I that he did not know a change: of goalkeepers had taken place till he came off the ground, aud now Mr Barber said that he had told Y-r Smith of the change on the field. He thought, therefore, that Mr Smith's plea of ignorance of the change could not be sustained in face of MI. Bitber's statement. —Mr Smith explained that when Mr Barber mentioned the matter to him he took it to mean a change of positions on the part of the player's merely, ana not the substitution of a fresh player for another.—Mr Stewart, it, proposing that the protest be not sustained, cbaracterized it as a most trivial one.—Mr Jones of Beaumaris, moved as an amendment, that the protest be sustained, and the voting showed 7 in favour of the amendment, and 2 against it.—Mr Stewart protested against the decision of the committee because they had, he thought, set aside a plain rule of the association, a thing they had no right to do —Mr Smalley re- marked that that was not the first time that had been done. The protest of Rhyl against Denbigh was then considered. The protest waa laid on three grounds. First, because one of the Denbigh full backs had struck the ball with his hand. Second, the incompetency of the referee. Third, the interference of the spectators. The last ground of objection was withdrawn.—Mr Wynne Edwards objected to the second ground of protest, because it was a point which the committee was not competent to discuss, as, according to rule 15, the Question of the competency or otherwise of the referee is to be decided by the competing clubs in all ties save the final, and that, as this waa done in this case, the question of the competency of the referee could not be brought before the meeting. -Mr Smalley would not admit that a thorough agreement as to the referee had been come to by the two clubs, and as Mr Cope was not present, he, Mr Smalley, would not say anything about his competency, but he would certainly say this much, that Mr Cope was more conversant with the rules of other associations than of the Northern Welsh. But there was another ground of protest, viz., that of the hand- ling of the ball by a full back, and as that could not bo denied, he thought on that point alone tha protest should be upheld. Mr Wynne Edwards handed Mr Watkins a leltt L, from Mr Cope, which the secretary read. Among other things Mr Oope claimed to be thoroughly competent to act as referee in any match, bud also denied that Ike spectators interrupted the game. As to the otflrer point, one of the Denbigh players certainly did handle the ball, but not intentionally, and he was certain that evon if he had not touched it at all, the. ball would not have gone through. On the other hand, Mr Smalley read a statement made by Mr J. Roberts, of Rathin, the Rhyl umpire, which contained the following assertions: First, that Mr Cope was incompetent to msdertake the duties of referee in any game played under the rules of the Worthern Welsh Association; and, second, that if Tudge had not struck the ball it would most cer. tainly have gone through. After some further remarks Mr Bugbird proposed, and Mr Jones, of Beaurparis, seconded, that the decision of the referee be upheld. This was carried by 6 to 3. Mr Smalley said he accepted the decision of the committee. It was decided to play the final tie at Rhyl on the 12th April. On the motion of the chairman, it was decided ta ask Mr Braman, oi the Blackburn Olympic, to act as referee. Mr Farriagton and Mr W. H. Roberts, of Rhyl, were appointed umpires. The disputed tie between Bangor F.C., and Carnarvon Athletics was or- dored to be played at Vaynol cr at Rhyl on the 29th inst. (next Saturday). The team chosen to represent the association in the return match Liverpool and District was then chosen, and will be composed as follows :-Goal, Hersee (Llan- dudno); backs, Bertie Newton (Carnarvon Athletic), and A. T. Cripps (Rhyl); halfs, Hum- phrey Jones (Bangor F.C.), and J. F. Williams (ditto); forwards, centres, R. Newton (Carnarvon Athletics), and W. H. Roberta (Rhyl); right. R. LI. Evans (Portmadoc), and D. Williams (Den- bigh) left, — Vaughan (Rhyl), and W. Lewie (Bangor).

FOOTBALL NOTES. I find that a good deal of feeling has been roused by the wording of my wire to Bangor last Saturday week. I v:sod the words "BaogoTOut. played all through the game," and I am inunaa- ted with letters on that point, most of the writers pointing ou> that during the latter half Carnarvon Athletics were playing 8 backs. I an; really surprised to find, judging from a perusal of these letters, and from a consideration of comments on the game in one or two contem- poraries, how little knowledge of football exists here. This ignorance is displayed in the emphasis laid by all these writers on the fact that the Carnt-ivon men played 8 backs during the last half. The fact is indisputable, but the iafereBce is entirely wronir. The Athletics did play 8 backs during the last hilf, butgthey did not uo so because Bangor compelled them to do so. The real reason WBB that the Athletics were afraid of Bangor, and acted on the principle that half a loaf is better than none, and adopted a defensive game in order to make sure of the advantage they had already gained. But anyone who saw the g-me will admit that even with only three forwards the Athletics were frequently dangerous, while with all their men at liberty to attack the Bangor Football Club did nothing great. I don't mean to say that tiie Atuletic is a better team than the Bangor, ;but IEdo mean to say that the Carnarvon men thoroughly beat them on the 15tb, and if thejjhad continued the attack, instead of I' remaining on the defensive, I have no doubt whatever that three or four more goals would have been placed to their credit. The best way to defend yourself is to attack your opponent. It is too soon yet to say what the consequences of the two deciaions will be, but I am afraid that mischief will ensue. I did not like Mr Smalley'a calm acquiescence in the quashing of the Rhyl protest. There was some talk on the part oi tho Carnarvon men of withdrawing from the associa- tion, but I hope that nothing so foolish will be done. I don't think the Bangor protest ought to have beea upheld, while on the other harifl I think that of Rhyl should have been, still th- decisions were given after due deliberation sn-l discussion, and ought to be accepted, if not with thanks, at least with resignation. » I ghouid like to say a word or two about *ae decision 01 the com-nittee. Take tha case of Dan- gor v. Carnarvon Athletics first. Look at rule 20 I will quote it in full: "Protests and appeals must bo lormally iDtimated to the referee and to the must be tormally iDtimated to the referee and to the I competing club before the club pretesting leal!e" thf ground on which tlte match may have been played, and a written notice of the protest, together with a sum of 10s must be lodged with the secretary of the aosociation within three days thereafter. In case the protest be overruled by the committee, the said sums shall be forfeited to the funds of the association." Now, since the portion of the rule I have italicized was not complied with, it can- not be said that a legal protest existed, and I must say that I think the committee had no right while rule 20 was in force to entertain the claim made by the Bangor Football Club. That rule lays it dowu beyond the possibility of mistake or misapprehension that a protest (if one is desirable) wiisi be made on the field tefort the teams leave the ground. Tlrs condition was not complied with, and it is diffi cult to understand accordingly why the protest was entertained at all. Mr Stewart justly pointed out that however unsatisfactory the rule was, it was a rule, and ought to be acted on till a change was made. The point too on wmca tne so-called protest was based was of a most trivial character. The fact that within less than a miaute from the referee's whistle being-bounded a change of goalkeepers occurred could not posaibly affect the rebult one way or the other, and it is really a reflection on the manliness of the Bangoi team that they should have caught at such a quibble, instead of taking an unmistakaable beating like men. I would have written what I have written now sooner, but considered it better to wait till the matter had come before the committee. # • • As to the Rhsl and Denbigh case I must admit the j ustuess of the decision, though it is a case of very hard lines for Rhyi. Rule 18 says that On points of fact connected with the play going on, an appeal may be made from the decision of one umpire to that of the other umpire, and if both agree, their decision shall be final; if they do not agree, both umpires shall confer with the referee I (on the field, but apart by themselves), and the referee's deciitan stall be final. Now, on the point as to whether the ball would have gone through had Tudge not struck it, the referee's decision was against Rhyl, and against his decision there is no appeal, on this point. On questions of Interpretation of Rules,of Laws of the Game an appealjmay ba made according to rule 19 from the decision of the re- feree to the committee of the association, but here was no dispute as to the interpretation of the laws of the game, but as to whether the ball would have passed through or not if the full back had not handled. True, Mr Cope for a time contended that there was no rule to the effect that a (goal should be given to the opposite side-i t a player on one side stopped the ball with his Jiaods, which, in the opinion of the refefee would have gone through. But Mr Oope was perfectly justified in acting as he did; even on a consideration of that very rule, the existence of which be appears to have been un- aware of, for the rule (No. 15, Laws of the Gams) reads: "Should a player other than the goal- keeper vHljully stop a ball with his hands, which, which, in the opinion of the referee would have gone through goal, a goal shall be counted." With re- ference to the points I have underlined, it will be remembered that Mr Cope, in hw letter read to the committee, said that in" his opinion the ball was not wilfully handled, and that also in his opinion, it would not have gone througweven if it had not been handled, and thinking so, he was quite right in deciding aa he did, and as according to role 18, (Covnpetition(Rulee),thedecisidn of the referee must bQ final, the committee wore without doubt per- fectly justified in rejecting the protest. Mr Wynne Edwards must be congratulated on the skill with which he, conducted his case. The least said about t* e play of the four clubs that contended in the Charity Cup Ties at Carnar- von on Saturday last and the better. The Eeroes offered to postpone the match on account of the weather, but the captain of the Colts decided to play. This was an unlucky move for him, for I have no doubt myself that in more favourable weather the Colts would have won. As it was, after some floundering play, ETans kicked the only goal for the Heroes, and threw the Colts out of the competition. The cup may now be looked on as a certain thing for the Heroes, and they really de- serve it. In consequence of the rather there was a very poor gathering, and consequently the benefit to {Dealy was not very g.eat 22s 6j being the sum handed to him. In view of this Mr Whiskin has arranged a return match next Saturday between the two teams, Colts v. Heroes, for the double purpose of seeing which is really the best team, and of doing a little moro for Dealy, to whom the gate will be given. It Is to be hoped we shall have a fine day. I am sorry to hear that a protest has been lodged against the Heroes in reference to last Saturdav's game. I consider it most unjustifiable. The same objection applies to it as was urged against the Bangor protest, and though I should personally like to see the match played over a.rain, in good weather, I must say I hope the committee will not eutertain the protest. It is one of the first results of the bad example set by the Bangor F.C., and to some extent the Colt's secretiuy is justified in making his protest, and to judge from the decision of the parent association he may reason- ably hope to have his protest sustained. I think, however, that it would be much better if the pro- test was withdrawn. A new factor has beau introduced into the dis- pute between Bangor and the Carnarvon Athletic Club. On Tuesday afternoon, Mr Bugbird went to Bangor, and found that the Conway team had not paid its subscription, and that, therefore, the Conway representative was not entitled to vcte at the meeting? at which the Bangor 'protest was up- hold, andlfrom this it is supposed to follow the t the meeting itself was informal, and therefore invalid. I can't eay how that may be. I know the Conway representative] did not vote on the question of the Bangor protest, but the Carnatvon men claim that by being present at the meeting at all, he thereby rendered nugatory i the decisions arrived at. The match which I have mentioned above as having been arranged between the Colts arid the Heroes will not, I understand, take plicti next Saturday as the Heroes are anx;ous to witness the game Bangor v. Carnarvon Athletics.. EK AVAHT.

CONWAY. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—'The fortnightly meeting of this board wad held on Friday last, the following members being present:—The Rev W. Venabloa Williams (ia the chair), Messrs Thomas Parry, E. Jones, A. Borthwick, J. Porter, J. Roberts, J. W. Jones, and the Revs. D. Bankes Price and E. Hughes. The chairman said he thought the meagre attendance was due to the funeral of Lord Mostyn, which took place at that hour. After dealing with the out-relief, the chairman asked what should be done with the resolution of Mr E. Jones, viz.: "That the rents of paupers should not exceed 3$per week, and that the present paupers do not come under that rule without three months' notice, the rule not to apply to g temporary illness."—Mr Edward Jones: Really, I am now rather inclined to withdraw it (hear, hear).—The Ohailman: Well, then I will suggest that should be done. Mr Jones accordingly withdrew his resolution. Statistics.—Out-door relief for the fortnight, £ 152. Vagrants relieved,59. Number of paupers in the house, 102; corresponding period last year, 98. ga.

Williams, White Horse Inn; Richard Thomas, ship carpenter; Robert Jones, Rose Hill-street; T. M. Jones, assistant; overseer, &c. After the minutes had been read and con- firmed, Mr J. Williams, Prospect House, said he begged to propose Mr Davies as the guardian for the L' next three years. — Mr Davies: No, thank you, I am not eligible; don't you think we should consult Mr Jones, the present guardian, as perhaps he would be willing to continue in office P-Mr J. Williams: I saw Mr Jones this evening, and he distinctly told me that he would not seek re- election.— Mr Davies: Well, I am sorry to hear that; and if that is the case, I beg to propose Mr Roberta, Erekine Arms Hotel.—Mr J. Jones seconded the proposition, which was unanimously agreed to.—The following gentlemen were nominated overseers:—Messrs H. L. Squires; J. £ Lewis, Thomas Abram, J. Edwards, and W. ft'. Williams. Tho first two were elect id. TUB CONSERVATIVE CLUB.—On Friday evening last a general meeting of this club was held at the club-room, when matters of a private character were discussed. Addressee were delivered by Messrs George Owen, Carnarvon: R. Dougall, George Smith, the Rev D. Grimaldi Davies, and others, and it was decided to form a debating society. < DISESTABLISHMENT OF IHB CHUHCH.—On Monday evening last a Urge and influential meeting in connection with the above movement was held in the Market Hall, which was crowded. The pro- ceedings lasted three hours and a half, from seven o'clock to half-past ten. In the absence of Mr Samuel Roberts, Llaudndno, the chair was occu- pied by Councillor D. P. Davies, Ty'n-y-coed. On the platform were the following gentlemen:— Messrs J. Wooded (ex-mnyor of Huddersfleld), J. Fisher, London; J. Roberts, solicitor. Bangor; E. Jones,'Stanley Buildings The Revs. D. Richards, S.

Kingston, Gyffia; J. Williams, Prospect House, and several leaders of the Church party and Con- servative Club were also present. The chairman, at some length stated the grounds for the Disestab- lishment of the Church. He then called Mr Ro- berts. of Bangor, who spoke in Welsh, followed by Mr Fisher, who was loudly cheered. Mr Fisher, after having delivered a long speech on the Church and her endowments, invited those present to question him on the subject. A few questions were put, whichjwere easily answered at once by Messrs Fiaher, J. Roboita, and J. Wooded, amid cheers. Mr Fisher then asked, Are .there any more of our clerical friends who would wish to be enlightened on the question?" The Rev. J. Grimaldi Davies made his way to the platform, being loudly cheered as he did ao— Mr Davies is a great favourite with the different denominations. He said he was much pleased with the orderly and gentlemanly manner in which the Liberationists had conducted their cause fhear, hear), but he proposed, before they passed the resolution, that they should hear the other side of the question, which would be stated that day fort- night, and he trusted that they would attend and sive them the same patient hearing.—The Rev Foulkes Jones moved the following resolution — "That this meeting heartily approves of the resolution which Mr Dillwyn, M.P., has given notice of in the House of Commons, and pledges itself to use every legitimate means ts attain the Disestablishment and Dit»eadowmeat of the (hurch in Wales, and authorizes the chairman to sign a petition on its behalf to the Hoase of Commons, approving that the bill for this purpose may be speedily passed."— Mr Edward Jones said he was glad to sei-oad the proposition.—The chairman asked if there was any amendment.—The Rev D. G. Davies r-gain said that perhaps it would be advisable not to vote until the other side had been heard. (A Voice: 11 Dovm with the Church, let us divide.")—On being put to the meeting, ..he resolution was carried by an ^er^elming majority.—The chairman asked Mr Gntnnldi Daiiesifhewas s.tisfiel that toe> r^lntion had been carried.—Mr Davies: Oh, yes.

CaiCCIETII. AN ACCOUNTANT ON THR WIIw.-Some curious facts have come to light with regard to the missing- Birmingham accountant, Mr C. T. Starkey, who was supposed to have- been drowned off Criccieth in October last. It is stated that when Mr Starkey went to Criccieth he took with him several Bank of England notes to pay the expenses of his trip, and it was one of those notes which furnished the first clue to his whereabouts after his sudden disappearance. After the recovery of his empty canoe, his family took steps for realising his ea. tate. Before probate could be obtained, intelli- gence was received that certain of the bank notes which were in Mr Starkey's rCisession,were traced to a Liverpool shipping office, where they had been paid in by a person giving the name of Sevens in payment of his passage to Melbourne. Mr Starkey's solicitor telegraphed to the agents in Melbourne to trace, if possible, a passenger giving the name of Stevens, and answering the description of Starkey. These instructions, how- ever, arrived too late, and all traces of the sup- pored Mr Starkey were lost. A week or two ago the ageutcl telegraphed to Birmingham to say that he had seen Mr Starkey in Melbourne, and since then Mr Starkey has telegraphed in the name of Stevens to say he was still alive, and that he had left for private pique, which would be explained in a letter due by the next Australian mail. It is stated that a considerable sum of money, the pro- ceeds of bankrupt estates, was banked in Mr Starkey's name, and until the question of probate is settled, this money cannot be withdrawn. There was also a sum of money invested in Mr Starkey's came in trust, and this is dependent in the samx way upon the probate proceedings.

AN A.LARMING DISEASE AFFLICTING- A NUMEROUS CLASS. The disease commences with a slight derangement of the at Bach, but, if neglected, it in time revolves the who.' trame, embracing the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and .n fact the entire glandular system; and the afflicted drags out a miserable existence uutd death gives relief from suffering. Tho disease is often mis- taken for other complaints; but if the reader will ask himself tb^ f;.>ilowi»g questions he will be able to de- termine wfcetiicr he himself ia one of the afflicted >■— HOT I distress, paiu or difficulty in breathing after eating? Is thoro a dull, heavy feeling, attended by (I ? Have the eyes a yellow tinge?

Is there a fullness about the right side as if the liver were eclarging ? Is there coativeness r Is there vertigo or dizziness wben rising suddenly from a horizontal position? Are the secretions from the kid- neys highly coloured, with a deposit after standing ? Does foed ferment soon after eating, accompanied by- flatulence or -bflching of gas from the stomach? Ia there frequent palpitation of the heart ? These various symptom* may not be present at ono time, but they torment the sufferer in turn as the dreadful diseases pro grease?. If the case be one of loag- standing, there will be a dry, hacking cough, attended after a. time by expectoration. In very advanced stages the skin u- sumes a dirty brownbh appearance, and the hands, and feet are covered by a cold sticky perspiration. Aa the liver and kidaeys become more ard more diseased, rheumatic pains appear and the u-nal treatment proves entirely unavailing against this latter agonizing dis- order. The origin of this malady is iHdigestion or dyspepsia, and a small quantity of the proper medicine will remove the tlise&s« if taken in its incipienoy. It ia most important that the disease should be promptly and properly treated in its first stages, when a little medicine will effect a curs, and even when it has ob- tained a strong hold the correct remedy should be per- severed in until every vestige of the disease is eradi- cated, until the appetite baa returned, ani the Ji- gestive organs sre restored to a healthy condition. The surest and most effactual remedy for this distressing complaint ia "Seigel's Curative Syrup," a vegetable. preparation sold by all chemists and medicine veudew* throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A.
