 "'At Easter this year the ladies gave their first public performance by ringing a peal at a local wedding. The ladies now ring regularly every week. Some idea of the work may be gathered from the fact that the tenor bell weighs 11 cwt., and yet, through all the training, not even a stay has been broken.'—Church Monthly."

"'One of our greatest poets was an apothecary's assistant, but his 'Ode to a Skylark' is eternal.'"

From a letter to The Market Mail:—

"'I enclose my card and remains.—Yours truly, .'"

We advise our contemporary to return the body.
