They were prprojsed that the question sbonld be immediately dealfcwjth.'Mark .the consequences.-'This 'mi in October, 1889./ Time' rolled' on, arid' Messrs McOardle, Fitzherbort, and Bonny were appointed to come up and meet the settlers.

The less a pjayer more dishonest he plays, and the more he disputes the decisions of those appointed to judge the play. The player tfho unwittingly mvkcsa mistake, 'seldom questions a correction, but the dishonest player attempts to steal what he is unable to obtain by gpnainejplay, and then adds brutality'; to his dime by abusing those selected to detect the dishonesty, whereas it should bo his duty to protect these' judges, Jsceing that he is a party to ; tho appointments.

Event in a Villa/to

To tho Editor of "Saturday Night,' Birmingham. 1 recently cirao into possession of a certain facts of so remarkable nature, that .1 .am sure you will bo glad to assist in making these public Tho following letters were Bhown to me, and I at once begged permission to.copy them for the press' Thoy come from a highly responsible source, and may be received without 'question.' Message from George James Gosiuno, L.D.S., E.O.S.L, jfh C.I„ Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon, Stowmarket, July 18,1889.. To Mb White The enclosed remarkablecureshould, 1 think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk. The-statement was entirely markable euro was related to me by the the husband. Mary Ann Spink, of Finborough, Suffolk, was for over twenty yean afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at tho time she was attacked (she is now fifty), she was compelled in consequence, to walk with two Btlcks, and even then with difficulty and pain. About a year and a half aco showJMtaised to try Mother Seigel'ss after taking three boitle and'two boxes of Seigofs Operating Pills, (/ie ins ofherlimh icm restored, and she is now able to walk threo"miles to Stowmarket with rase, frequently doing the distance iu three-quarters of an hour. Any sufferer who doubts this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by paying a visit to the Village and enquiring of tho villagers, who will certify to tho fact?, 1 Appended is the husband's signature to the statement.
