GOLDEN PILLS.
A 'contemporary gives publicity to an anecodota about the late lamented Mr Justice Fellows that is so characteristic at once of Lis liberality and sense of humour as to merit a wider circulation. It is known that he almost, if toot quite, provided the means for building the pretty Anglican Church at ■Queenscliff, and he never ceased to show deep interest in the strnctura Before leaving the colony on a' trip to Europe, he is said to liave placed in the hands of the churchwardens a large pill-box containing fifty-two sovereigns, ton the lid of which Was inscribed—- “ Two to be taken every Sunday during the hours of morning service.” We tore not told whether the churchwardens forgot to observe the directions of the donor, bat we may safely as*finme that the prescription was faithfully taken by these officials. No doubt many church stewards would be glad to have the same medicine administered once a week.
