that night. I did not go to accused’s house and try to break in. He 'was at the open door. When I came home on Christ mas eve there was a horse m the stable. I do not know whose the horse was. I put the horse outside and tied it to the. stable door. I did not turn the horse loose. Accused had been at a patty that night. The holes in the iron roof could not have been caused by rust. M.y children might have been playing with the tap that day. Frances White, sworn —I am wife of Benjmin White, the former witness. I lived with my husband in the 1 house be longing to Hartnell and Co., at Chertsey, in December .last. I remember the morn ing of Christmas day last. I got up about 4 o’clock through a noise of throwing stones from outside on to the roof of the house. The stones seemed coming through the roof and windows. I stepped out into the shop and looked through the window of the bakehouse. I stood about five-feet from the window. I saw two or three men outside including accused. They were about ten yards from the window. Saw accused throw stones at the window. The stones came through the window on to the table near it. No other stones came through while I was there. My husband was standing near me at the time. He had got there before me. There were three panes broken in the window of the bakehouse. Two had been broken before I arrived there. My hus band went out, but I remained iiiside. I saw my. husband running in pursuit of the men. There were two holes in the iron roof of the house. I used the tank the night before. It did not then leak, but it leaked in the morning. My children had not been to the tap. I could dis • tinctly see the people outside. By Mr. Purnell—l think accused was in his shirt-sleeves, but could not be posi tive. I did not notice the dress of the others.

Alexander Capel, sworn —I am a wheel wright; living at Chertsey. I remember 25th of December last. I was not with defendant on that morning. I was not in bed at 4 o’clock that morning. I was in defendant’s company at 1 o’clock. At the request of Mr. Purnell his Wor ship cautioned witness that he was not obliged to answer any question which might tend to criminate himself. Examination continued —I could not say how long I was in accused’s company. I know Hartnell and Co.’s shop at Chertsey. I was near there that morning. I was not in accused’s company at daylight on that morning. This was the case for the police. Accused’s counsel declined tc call any wit nesses. The court was then cleared, and on resuming, his Worship, addressing Bur nard, said that in inflicting a high penalty on him the Bench were quite satisfied that he had committed the offence with which he was charged. He and the others who were with him at the time had evidently wound up their night’s orgie by annoying White and his family, because he (White) had put out of his employer’s stable a horse which, had been pfft there without permission. It was no excuse to say that it was customary for people coming from a distance to put up their horses in any person’s stable. No one had a right to use the humblest person’s stable any more than he had to place his horse in a king’s stable without permission. The evidence of White and his wife was perfectly reli able, though given in a somewhat rambling manner. He would be fined L 5 and costs. KAIL WAY TRESSPASS. Jas. Wilkinson was chai’ged by the police with driving fifteen head of cattle across the railway line at a place which was not a proper crossing, and not being a station. Defendant admitted the charge, wnich was substantially the same case which had been heard before his Worship some time ago, and which had been dis missed on technical grounds. After hear ing the evidence of Patrick Malley, ganger on ,the railway, who said that the place where the cattle crossed the line was per fectly level, and that no damage had been done, a fine of Is. and costs was inflicted. ASSAULT. Hayman v. Cane. —Frank Cane was charged by Jesse Hayman with assault. Defendant pleaded not guilty. It ap peared that Hayman had lost his pick handle, and said that Cane was as likely to have taken it as anyone else Cane replied that if Hayman said that again he would give him a “ dab in the mouth.” They then began to fight, and after several rounds they both fell, and while rolling on the road Cane took up a boulder in his hand and hammered Hay man on the head. Fined £l, and costs £1 7s. Bd. CIVIL CASES. W. Hartnell v. A. J. Kelley.—Claim, £l3 7d. —W. Doherty v. T. Santy.— Claim, £1 lCs. sd.—Morris v.

The Court then adjourned.

THE STORY-TELLER.

A BOARDING HOUSE IDYLL- By Miss Beaddoy. “Mr. Twistleton,” I said, “if you come at once you may be in time to save your daughter from marrying an infamous scamp, a Count Bouilli, who wears a false beard, and is I don’t know what. .Put on your coat ” (he was wearing a waistcoat with sleeves) “and come at once. Mr Twistleton, rather slow and ple thoric in his habits, merely repeated the words “Count Bully. Yes, I gunk the Missus wrote me about linn. Y ell, per haps' I’d better come down and see to it. “Perhaps I’d better come down and to it ' ” When I had been at such pains to expose this rascal to think that Miss Edie’s own father should speax so. I was so indignant at the cool way in which he treated the , whole afian, that I St halt' inclined to stop ip town and leave him to fight his own battle with the Count • But an exceeding longing foi &n|e pn the man who ha£ so egregi ouslv iwppsed on the confidence of the rShnpndeiey and was aptipg po basely toward Miss Edie, impelled me .to accom vZvtwistleton, I #9» determined, ;; sSSv£, not t 0 tell him whow 1 BUSpect

the Count to be ; I would not care for the esclandre ; I would sacrifice the peace of Mrs. Bowser’s establishment for the satis faction of pointing to the Count in face of the assembled company and saying, “ There, Mr. Twistleton, is your creditor, Mr. Fleance.”

We missed our, train while Mr. Twistle ton was waiting for a coat that was being finished for him to take down to Brighton. “Good heaven!” I thought, .“to trouble yourself about a coat, while Miss Edie is in such danger ! ” “It isn’t often,” he explained to me, “ that I take a customer’s order home ; but this is an exceptional case, one of my very largest customers residing now —ahem—at Brighton.” He smiled a fat smile, bought an even ing paper, .and read it all the way. I was fidgeting about, wondering what the Count was up to, and here was Miss Edie’s own father quietly reading a paper. We reached the mansion just at half past six the Ch«lmondeley dinner hour. I led Twistleton into the dining room with a feeling of triumphant elation. My look was, I believe, so determined that the young curate; who caught sight of me as he was saying grace, lost his voice, and every one sat down in an uncomfortable way, as if they were not quite sure whether he had finished.

On Mrs. Bowser’s right was seated Mrs. Twistleton, on her left the Count: and the Count’s left-hand neighbor was Miss Edie. Between these stood Charles, who also had caught my eye, and gloated over the approaching scene. I advanced to Mrs. Bowser’s side, and said in a loud voice, that commanded the attention of the whole room : “ Mrs. Bowser, you have been nourishing a viper in your bosom ” (Mrs. Bowser clutched at her stomacher;) “ this' man is an im poster ! ” If the first shell of a French bombard ment had burst in the dining-room of Cholmondeley Mansion it could not have created greater consternation. Every one in the room sprang to their feet ; Charles, in obedience to a gesture of mine, led Miss Edie, who was almost hysterical to her mother’s side. The Count had risen at my approach, and stood before me confused ancl trembling. Mrs. Bowser was so hopelessly bewildered that she could do nothing but call out “ Charles, Amelia, Amelia, Charles, stop him ! stop him ! ” I was master of the situation, and resolved to complete the scene by stripping Count Fleance of his mock beard. With a quick movement of my arm I had almost accomplished my design, when Mr. Twistleton stepped forward-and checked me with his hand laid on mine. Then turning to the Count, he said : “ Mr. Fleance, I regret to have to announce to you the death of your uncle. Sir Gilbert Fleance. Mrs. Bowser, and ladies and gentlemen, I beg you will calm your selves, there has been some slight mis take ; this gentleman is hot Count Bully 7, far from it. He is my friend, if he will allow me to call him so, Sir Edward Fleance, baronet.” i “ Good heart alive !” was all that Mrs. Bowser could say. “ Deary me ! ” came from Miss Amelia at the other end of the table. To my astonishment Mrs. Twistle ton was leaning back in her chair in a fit of laughter that rendered suffocation momentarily eminent. What did it mean '! No explanation was offered ; every one sat down again, and dinner was resumed in an uneasy sort of way ; Charles, almost useless, paralyzed with perplexity, had to retire several times to empty his waist coat. i Mr. Twistleton occupied the seat Miss Edie had vacated ; Miss Edie sat next to her mother, and never lifted her eyes from her plate, conscious that every eye not fixed on the Count was fastened on her.

Dinner, was over somehow, and then Mr. and Mrs. Twistleton, Miss Edie, the Count, and myself, adjourned to Mrs. Bowser’s private sitting-room, where, with Mrs. Bowser and Miss Amelia to keep the peace, and the whole of the residents at the Cholmondeley congre gated in the hall outside, with Charles stationed at the door to prevent any of them listening at the key-hole, we received the following explanation from Mr. Twistleton. He first addressed himself to the Count.

“You, Sir Richard Fleance, as you have chosen to disguise yourself as a Frenchman with a black beard, when your own is a red, stubb} 7 one, as I know well, must excuse me if, in fairness to Mrs. Bowser, I explain the state of affairs. I knew you had run away from your creditors ; I knew you were stopping at the Cholmondeley under an outlandish name, and I-wrote and told my wife so. I have learned from her that you have been paying attention to my daughter, and that, yesterday, you proposed for her hand. Am I right 1 ” “ Quite right, Mr. Twistleton,” said the Count in a sheepish voice. Miss Edie gave a fierce little exclama tion, and stamped lier foot. “ I demand from you, Sir Edward, a renewal of that proposal now that yiu are a baronet of the United kingdom, and not disinherited by your unfcle. ” “Not disinherited! Gad, my dear Twistleton, you’ve saved me, I—” But whether lie was going to back out of his engagement (I thought at the time he was,) or renew his vows, it is impossible to say, for at that moment Miss Edie, with another little stamp, demanded to be heard in the matter.

“ What nonsense you are talking, papa ! I won’t have him, of course I won’t have him. He told me ho dyed his moustache, but I did think it was his own beard.” And she burst into sobs, and asked to he taken out of the room. So Mrs. Twistlo ton, Mrs. Bowser, and Miss Amelia took her in charge, and as the door opened to let them out we heard a buzz of excited inquiries burst out in the hall. We gentlemen being left alone, my share of the denouement was soon ex plained, and I received Mr. Twistleton’s thanks for having looked after his daughter’s interests so efficiently. I saw he would have said more, but the fear of offending a real live baronet was in his eyes.

Twistleton then entered into an ex planation of wliat he had done in the matter.

“ When I heard that old Sir Gilbert had cut up rough, and set all your credi tors about your heele, I thought to iny seif, ‘ Well, Mr. Edward ain’t got a penny so its’no use squeezing him.’ W ;ls it Sif Edward? '

“ Not a ha’porfih,” said Sir Edward-. f£ Well you owe me a matter of £5,000, or is it £6,000 l ”

“£7,000, I think, including that, bill you took up. ” “Right you aro ; £7,000. Well ' I thought, better than lose the money I’ll call on old Sir Gilbert. We’ve made Ins breeches, self and father, for nigh on fifty years, and I thought I’d just try what I could do. Blessed if the old man didn’t ask me to stop the night with him, and in the morning he made a new will and stuck you down first, as I understand you were before, and that was all because I told him how the tradesmen would suffer if he cut you off. Twistleton hugged himself with delight at the existence of one reasonable man on the face of the globe ; but then remem bering that this man had died—too good to live, no doubt—he added in a doleful voice. “He died three days after, took suddenly with heartaplex ” (a con fusion probably between apoplexy and heart disease), “ and I thought you mightn’t have no black clothes about you, so I made bold to bring you down a suit of a nice soft material, all wool, Sir Ed ward. And if you’ll excuse me saying so, I think you could make it up with Miss Edie if you was to try. And pray don’t think about that L 7,000 till it’s quite con venient to you.” But the interview lasted a long time, and the narration of it is beginning to grow tedious. I have only to say that Mrs. Bowser eventually forgave Sir Edward Fleance, late Count Bouilli, and that the gentle man, and the days of mourning for his father being over, married Miss Edie Twistleton.

A large piece of the bride-calce was sent down at Miss Edie’s particular request, to Cholmondeley, and for .some days the house-maids at that establishment were astonished at the number of crumbs and currants they found when they made the beds in the morning. These were the debris of the slices of Miss Edie’s cake which the unmarried boarders placed under, - heir pillows nightly, until it was all crumbled away.

I often meet Sir Edward and Lady Fleance at the Cholmondeley, and for old acquaintance sake I am allowed to call her ladyship by her Christian _ name. Charles is growing gray. It is said that Mrs. Bowser drinks too much port. The The Cholmondeley is sceptical on the sub ject of French Counts, bnt as fond of unromantic romance as ever.

THE GARDENER.

Notes for the Present Month.

Kindly Written, Expressly for this Journal, By a Professional Gardener. KITCHEN GARDEN.

Sow during the month the last sowing of cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, winter spinach, to stand in the seed beds over winter, to come in for transplanting in early spring. Onions should be sown as early this month as possible, as it often happens that they 7 are sown too late, and hence dis appointment is suffered, as the first sharp frost lifts them out of the ground. But by sowing early they will have taken suffi cient hold to resist the action of frost. The best varieties are Brown Spanish, Giant Roccd, and Brown Globe. By sow ing in lines they can be thinned out, and transplanted in early spring. The Giant Eocco, treated in the above manner, pro duces immense bulbs, sometimes weighing from 31bs. to 41bs. One of the best for early use, Brown Spanish, also produces an excellent crop when transplanted in early spring. White Stone and Golden Ball Turnip should also be sown as early this month as possible, which will keep up a supply of fine tender roots all through the winter and early spring months. Care should be. taken not to cover the seeds too deep, as in nearly all cases disappointment arises from their being covered too deep or not' covered at all. Seeds, as a rule, should in no case be covered more than twice their own thickness, except peas, beaus, and such large seeds—these from 2in. to 3in. Radish will do well sown this month. FLOWER GARDEN. The principal work will- be to collect flower seeds of all the different annuals, Ac. Stow them in a dry place. Cuttings should be taken of all flowering plants, such as geraniums, verbenas, petunias, cupheas, Phlox, Drunnnoni, Ac., and placed in pots or boxes. To ensure suc cess, place about two inches of well-rotted manure mixed with loam in the bottom of the pot or box. Mix good ordinary loam, three parts to sand one part, well together. Fill the balance of your pot or box, putting a light covering of pure sand on the top, in which insert tho cuttings. Geraniums cuttings should have little or no water fer a week after being put in, as they are likely to damp off if kept too wet until they begin to color. Verbenas, fuchsia, petunius, Ac., must be kept damp and, shaded ; but geraniums .will root more readily by being placed in the sun. To strike fuchsia cuttings, ver benas, &c., lay some pieces of glass, over the top of the box, to keep it air tight, for a week or so after the cuttings are put in. Persons purposing to lay down new lawns should embrace the first opportunity, as lawns laid down this month do much bet ter than when done in spring, as it has the double advantage from the autumn rains and spring showers to give the young grass a thorough hold of the ground be-, the summer drought set in.
