At Malta, instead of carrying milk round in cans, the milkman is followed by about a dozen goats through the streets like a pack of hounds.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—In the complaints peculiar to females these Pills are unrivalled. Their use by the fair sex has become so constant for the removal of their ailments that barely a toilet is without them. In the boudoir of the lady of fashion, and the humble garret of the seamstress alike, universal favor is accorded to these renovating Pills ; their invigorating and purifying properties render them safe ana invaluable in all cases; they may be taken by females of all ages for any disorganisation or irregularity of the system, speedily removing the cause and restoring the sufferer to robust health. As a family medicine they are invaluable for subduing the maladies of young and old. ' County Council NOTICE OFINTENTION TO MAKE SPECIAL KATE UNDER " BOADS AND BRIDGES CONSTRUCTION ACT, 1882."
