A CORNISH RECTOR.
—o Cornwall seems to produce a race of extraordinary clergymen, whose eccentricities every' now and then gain for them an unsavoury celebrity. The latest specimen of the race is the rector of Landulph. This worthy seems to have come into collision with his parishioners, whom ho styled hogs in several letters. He also brought actions against some of them, but in every case was not on'y defeated, but severely censured by the Judges into the bargain. Acting upon the advice of his late diocesan, Bishop Temple (Exeter), he left his pariah, and remained away for a year ; but on March 25 ho unexpectedly male his appearance at his church, and conducted divine service. His congregation, however, was of the most limited character, consisting only of his two children. His parishioners, on learning at the church gates that he had returned, and was going to officiate, went homo again, leaving him in solitary possession of the church. Further developments are looked for.

A druggist says of the man who came in and borrowed his mortar, and forgot to re* turn it, that “ he’s a pestle-lent follow.,’ A New York contemporary thinks that a good newspaper reporter is generally smarter than detectives in eliciting facta in regard to crimes. 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 IJd per box. People troubled with a “ hacking 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 Bronchial Troches ” are on the Government Stamp around each box. —Manufactured by John I. Brown & Sons, Boston, United States. Depot, 493 ord-street, London.
