PAWNING A PAIR OF TROUSERS FOR MEDICINE. JAHBSFRAXCIS THOMAS lives in Pontnewydd,near Pontypool Monmouthshire. He is now twenty-three years of age, living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago, then a mere boy, he went to work in the coal-pit as a miner, in order to assist his mother in rearing her family of little chil- dren. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in health but the necessities of the family seemed to require it, and he continued to toil in the mines, suffering all the time from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom being asthma, in sftch a troublesome form that the boy was unable to lie in bed. Working through the day, and resting as best he could in an arm-chair during Ithe night naturally undermined his constitution. Year by year his health grew.worse and worse, until at last, rheumatism came with all its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that he was obliged to stop work In this sad plight the now ypung man was confinedlto the house for two long years, suffering all that mortal could endure. One physician after another was called upon to treat his complaint, but with no benefit, for the poor fellow continued to grow worse and worse. Hoping to flnd some means of relief, a consultation of doctors was held, when it was decided that anorganic disease of the heart existed in an incurable form, and that medical aid could not afford relief. He was given up to die. These years of expensive medical treatment had exhausted the little savings of the mother, and they had no money even to buy the necessaries oflife. Butafond mother never gives up in despair. There was one spark of hope left. Someone haa told her of a remedy that had cured so many cases-even when as hopeless as this one seemed to be-oand the mother's love went out for her dear boy. But how to get the medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone. The boy had a new pair of trousers that he had been too ill to wear, had the mother reasoned within herself, If the boy is to die en will not nead them, so that I mar as well pledge them for medicine with an effort to save his life." Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured at the chemist's shopat Pontypool with the money obtained from the pawn- broker effected a cure in this hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. But it is only just to say that if the chemist had known of the wanta of the family the medicine could have been obtained without a visit to the pawnbroker. It is now nearly two years since this took place, and young James Francis Thomas has been working in the coal-pit underground ever since, earning extra pay for over-work, which he is able to perform. Of course he never had organic disease of the heart, as was supposed. The palpitation, rheumatism, and asthma, were mere symptoms of the real disease, which, was dyspepsia, or indigestion, for whieh the remedy was specially adapted. Those who wish to commu- nicate with this young man can write to him at the above address, and he will vouch for the curative properties of Beigel's Syrup, the article that affected^this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the facts should be made known :—James Francis Thomas, of Pontnewydd, near Pontypool, age twenty-three, collier, was ill for nine years, unable to do any work for three years, never lay down in bed for nine years, had to sleep in a stooping posture, was treated by nearly all the doctors for miles around, who generally stated his com- plaint to be rheumatism and heart disease of a chronic nature, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly diea out he was persuaded to try Siegel's Syrup; and to the delight of his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking one bottle he went to work. Has now taken two bottles, and on with the third, and is quite well and strong. His mother is in raptures, and can talk of nothing else but this marvellous cure, and wishes me to make it known. It is requested that our correspondents will favor us with reports of local events as soon after their occurrence as possible, so as to ensure insertion of the reports in the next issue. We shall be glad to receive timely intimation of any meetings about to take place.

The Town Councils of Wrexham and Beau- maris have declined to sign petitions in favor of the Sunday closing of public-houses in England. The Duke of Westminster supported the motion made in the House of Lords in favor of the opening of the National Museums on Sunday, but on a division it was negatived. The seat occupied by the late Speaker of the House of Commons, has been won by Mr. Thornhill, Conservative, by a majority of 903 votes. The result of the poll was:—Mr. Thornhill, 3,815; Mr. Coofo, Liberal, 2,912. The Huntingdon election, resulted in the return of the Conservative candidate, Sir Robert Peel, by a majority of nine votes over his Liberal opponent, Mr. Veasey. The return at the close of the poll was—Sir R. Peel, 465; Mr. Veasey, 446. Dr. Price, the eccentric Welsh Druid, of Pontypridd. who was recently tried and acquitted of having indecently cremated the body of his child, has at last succeeded in accomplishing his object. On Friday morning he fixed three hurdles on a hill, then had half a ton of coals piled within the triangle thus formed, and upon a pair of large iron gates he placed a box containing the body of the child, wrapped in napkins. Petroleum was thrown over the coals, and this served to make the pile a mass of fire as soon as ignition took place. The Druid, with a large shawl thrown over his shoulders, was present during the process, and chanted an ancient sacred song. VAGRANTS AND THE BERKSHIRE SYSTEM. The Berkshire system of checking vagrancy, which has spread over several counties in England, was on Tuesday last brought into force throughout the counties of North Wales. The principle on which the new system is based i, that of providing at the public charge for every reasonable want that the vagrant may ask to have supplied. All excuse for indiscrim- inate charity is thus removed, and if the public will accept this, and refrain from breaking the system down by unwise and needless doles, the plague of vagrancy may in time be greatly diminished.—Under the new regulations the wayfarer receives a ticket from the assistant relieving officer of the Union where he passes the night, and this ticket ensures him a good ration of bread at a certain place on the road he will travel the next day. Food, as well as lodging, is provided for wayfarers, both night and morning, at every workhouse. The amount of work given at the Workhouses to destitute persons whose tickets show them to be travell- ing in search of work is very small. A larger task is only given to those who bring unsatis- factory tickets, or who have torn up their tickets, and who thus show that they are idle vagabonds. All excuse for begging being thus done away with, the public are earnestly requested not to give either food or money to beggars, all by so doing they only encourage idle vagabonds and thus cause an increase of crime as well as of rates. All destitute persons passing through the North Wales counties are provided for by night at the workhouses, and by day food is administered under the directions of the police at the undermentioned relief stations in Flintshire—Mold, Connah's Quay, Overton. Tramps or Beggars should be referred to the nearest constable..
