Recently a forwarding clerk in Aberdeen scheduled to c. steanvcompany one package of empties as follows :—“ One empty hamp;r containing three empty cans.'’ Lord Tweddale’s death (says a contemporary) removes from among us another of the heroes who made the modern reputation of the British soldier. He was a fine swordsman, and in the Peninsula ho had a special sabre made for him of extra length and weight, wherewith he slashed away in ‘very heroic fashion. Ee was a great boxer too, as'to which there is this story well and truly told. One day, when he was driving, a gigantic costermonger, riding, as is their wont, upon a barrow behind the most diminutive donkey possible, stopped thenvay, as is also their wont On being called upon to move, he flatly refused, and sneeringly offered to fight for the road. Lord Tweeddale, nothing loath, got down, fought him there and then according to science, and in five minutes reduced him to a pitiable state The costermonger then gave in, and, wiping the blood from his face, said, “Well, I’m blessed if 1 thou lit there was anybody but Lord Twiddle as could lick me !” “Ah." replied his lordship, who by this time had remounted his box, “ L am Lord Tweddale” “Then, blow me, it’s not fair ! If you‘had said so at first, I'd a let yon pass.” Throat Affections and Hoarseness. All suffering from irritation of the throat and hoarseness will bo agreeably -surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of “ Brown’s Bronchial Troches.’ These famous “lozenges” are 'now sold by most respectable chemists in this country at Is lid per box. People troubled with a “ backing cough," a “slight cold,” or bronchial affections, cannot try them too soon, as similar troubles, if allowed to progress, result in serious Pulmonary and Asthmatic affections See that the words *' Brown’s ■JJronchial Troches ” are on tho Government Stamp around each box.
