THE TICHBORNE ESTATES.

The Boston Sunday Herald has the following telegraphic message, under date San Francisco, May 13th; — “ Ferris, alias Sir Roger Tichborne, the Californian claimant mentioned some ' months ago, is again in this city. His attorney says that recently he has been • put in connection with three persons, residents of this State, formerly in the employ of the r l ichborne family. One Charles Burden, was page to Sir Ed ward Doughty, Tichborne’s uncle, re cently administrator of Quohumn County. Another is a woman living in Aleraeda County, who was in the employ of the family for twelve years, and was married in 1855 in the Tich borne private chapel. The third is a man formerly employed as gardener for Hfenry Tichborne. These three met Ferris at an attorney’s office last Satur day, and, after a conversation, recog nised and acknowledged him as Roger Tichborne. Arrangements are now being made for Tichborne to visit Fr. Le Febyre, his former spiritual adviser, now living in Paris.”

A FLAT CONTRADICTION.

To the Editor. Sib, —It has come to my knowledge that a report has been circulated by which I am said to have induced the --parents of certain boys to take them from . the High School, and send them to the Borough School. This report is without the slightest foundation, and I beg to flatly contradict it. It is entirely an tagonistic to my principles, and I- wish it to be understood by the High School au thorities, and by the public generally, that I have not since I came here, tried in any way, to induce the pupils of the High School or any other school to come to that of which I am head-master. By inserting the above, you will much oblige.—l am, etc., Hectoe Dempsey. Borough. Schools, July 17.

HAND EIRE ENGINES.

TO THE EdITOB. - i Sib,— Some time ago—some months in fact —the Borough Council were very jubilant over the procuring and intended planting down in various parts of the western portion of the town of several hand fire engines. Can you direct me to whore any of those engines can be seen ? In ray peregrinations I have not yet been able to stiiinble upon one of them. Not long ago I saw the barman and the manager of Qjuill’s Hotel, busy washing the windows pf that establishment with one of the “ east end ” engines, while a well-known newspaper man looked on and grinned, and latterly got a drenching by way of a lark. But I have not yet ssen any of the west end’s squirters about.—l am, etc., Slush Bucket.

A lady put her watch under her pillow the other night, but couldn’t keep it there because it disturbed her s'eep. And there all the time was her bed ticking right underneath her, and she never thought of that. Holloway’s Pills. Liver Complaints.—The digestion cannot be so seriously disordered without the de rangement being perceptible on the counten ance, These pills prevent both unpleasant consequences ; they improve the appetite and wi(h the increase of desire for food, they augment the powers of digestion and assimila tion in thh stomach. Holloways Pills deal htoit' satisfactorily with deranged or diseased Conditions of the many organs engaged in ex tiactingnourishment for our bodies from our various diets—as the liver, stomach, and bowels, over all of which they exercise the most salutary control. By resorting at an early stage of this malady to these purifiying and laxative Pills, the dyspeptic is speedily restored to health and strength, and his sallowness gradually vanishes.—[AdvL]
