A SCENE IN A CHAPEL.

—o— A very disgracful scene was witnessed on November 15, at Zion Chapel, Nottingham. The appointment of Mr Langford as minister is disputed by n section of the congregation, and at a meeting some days ago a scene of great disorder occurred. In the morning Mr Langford got into the pulpit in spite of a request that he would not do so, and conducted the service; but in the evening the opposing body obtained possession, Mr Langford being stopped at the pulpit steps. He then gave out a hymu, in which part of the congregation joined, the opposition party at the same time starting another hymn, thus producing great discord. Mr Langford began to preach, and the minister appointed by the opposition party commenced reading a psalm. Mr Langford preached his sermon while his opponents were singing, led by the harmonium. Some police officers were in attendance, but no violence occurred. One of the committee of management remarked that Mr Langford was opposed under legal advice, and to further the cause of Christ. The whole scene was most extraordinary and unseemly.

“ Silence is Golden.”—Anxious mamma (to her brother-in-law, who is also the Family Doctor) : “ By-the-bye, Alexander, I’m so glad you’ve come ! I wanted to talk to you about baby. I can’t understand why he doean’t speak yet. Surely he ought to by this time !” Alexander: “weel, ye see, Ann, ye just talk the vara highest o’ Inglish, an my brithcr John, again he just talks the vara braidcst o’ Scotch ; an the puir bairn, ye see it hasna just made up its mind which side o’ the house it’ll just tak till!”

Dr. Bright's Piiosphodyne. Multitudes of people are hopelessly suffering from Debility, Nervous and Liver Complaints, Depression of Spirits, Delusions, Unfitness for Business or Study, Failure of Hearing, Sight, and Memory, Lassitude, Want of Power, &c., whose cases admit of a permanent cure by the new remedy—Phosphodyne (Ozonic Oxygen)— which at once allays all irritation and excitement, imparts new energy and life to the enfeebled constitution, and rapidly cures every stage of these hitherto incurable and distressing maladies. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers throughout the Colonies from whom Pamphlets, containing testimonials, may be obtained. Caution.—Be particular to ask for Dr. Bright’s Phosphodyne, as imitations are abroad ; and avoid purchasing single bottleg tho genuine article being sold in cases only.

Goldsmiths’ Work. —The process of fine-art manufacture in this branch of trade is strikingly exemplified in a little work published by Mr. J. W. Benson, of No.. 25, Old Bond-street, and of the City Steam Factory, 58 and 60 Ludgate-hill, London. It is enriched and embellished with designs, by Italian, French and English artistes, of brooches, bracelets, ear-rings, and other articles, suitable for personal wear, or for wedding, birth-day, or other presents, with their prices. Mr. Benson, who holds the appointment to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, has also published a very interesting pamphlet on the Rise and Progress of Watchmaking. These pamphlets are sent, post free, for two stamps each, and they cannot be too strongly recommended to those contemplaing a purchase, especially to residents in the country or abroad, who are thus enabled to select any article they may require, and have forwarded in perfect safety. Holloways’ Ointment and Pills.— Coughs, Influenza.—The soothing properties of these medicaments render them well worthy of trial in ail diseases of the lungs. In common colds and influenza, the Pills taken internally, and the Ointment rubbed externally are exceedingly efficacious. Whrn influenza is epidemic this treatment is easiest, safest, and surest. Holloway’s Pills and Ointment purify the blood remove all obstructions to its free circulation through the lungs relieve the over-gorged air-tubes and render respiration free without reducing the strength irritating the nerves, or depressing the spirits. Such are the ready means of saving suffering when afflicted with colds, coughs, bronchitis, and other complaints by which so many are seriously and permanently afflicted in most countries.
