in: Wilkin, and William Kcott, aged six years, residing in Hayhurat-lano, were brought up on a charge of wilfully and maliciously setting fire to a haystack an Pcndlc-road, belonging to Edward Hanson, at about ten o’clock on Wednesday morning, November 25th, doing damage to the amount of £3. Also -with having on the same date set fire to a haystack at or near Littlomoor lane, and belonging to Mary Dcwlmrst, causing damage
to the extent of £ 10J The Chief Constable asked the magistrates to
dismiss the case against the younger prisoner, Scott, on account of his youth, and the Bench agreed to do so. Concerning tho other lad. Alder- son, he had been charged on Monday jvt the Bolton- by-Bowland Police Court, with fowl-stealing, and had received four strokes with the birch rod. His father >^as summoned at Clithcroe, on Monday, and was then in the House of Correction nt Preston, for failing to report himself to tho police. Edward Hanson said that on the date mentioned, at about a quarter past ton in the morning, ho was
about his promises in Shaw Bridge^ Street, when, a boy came running and told him his haystack was on fire- He eent his lad to tho fire-engine station, and proceeded to tho scene • of tho fire. Opposite Goosebutts lane, witness saw William Bracewell. On getting up to the stack he found it was on fire. Richard Collinge and other fanners were at work endeavouring to put it out. Tiic brigade came up immediately afterwards, and they had hardly arrived before someone said there was another stack . on fire, about 300 or 400 yards away, belonging to Miss Dewhurst. In consequence of information aud received yester day morning, witness sent for the prisoner to his warehouse, and there re-questioned him. Prisoner said lie and tlic lad Scott had been with the hunters but had «eon no one about the stack. They went round by Four-lane ends, Standen Hall, and came down the path to Wiswcll Moor lane. Tlic first time they heard of the fire was wlicn they were in Salford. They went to the fire immediately and arrived there before the Fire Brigade. Prisoner nicntioiiod tho names of several boys he had pre-* viously seen playing near Brewery Mill. Witness further stated that prisoner had afterw’ards been questioned by Sergeant Clayton in his presence, but adhered to the same story. The damage to the
stack would bo about £3. William Bracewoll, farm servant, in tlic employ
of Joseph Strickland, said .he was driving a horse and cart at about half past ten on Wednesday morning, and was proceeding towards Goosebutte farm He saw two lads in front of liira, one much taller than the other. They were about GO y.-ires. from him and about the same distance from Mr. Hanson’s stack. ■ They were going in the direction of Jliss Dcwhurei’s stack. Witness suddenly lost sight of them. YHion witness returned about six or seven minutes later, he noticed that _Mr Han son’s stack was burning. He had since idcntmcd the prisoner and Scott as tho lads ho had seen. William Scott, aged G years, stated that he first
met prisoner in Wilkin. They then went to Duck- Btrcet, and prisoner purchased a, box of flamers iVftcrwards, at the prisoner’s suggestion, they went to the stack which the prisoner deliberately set on fire. They then ran away, and prisoner set Miss Dewhurst’s stack on fire in a similar manner. P.S. Clayton gave evidence as to arresting the
lads and charging them with the two offences, they had made no reply. On the prisoner being
searched two matches were found. The-other case having also been heard, The mother of , the lad wished the cases to be

When a* man has risen from among the ranks of the weavers to the proud position of a mayor, ho is generally expected on the occasion of such civic ceremonies ns the present,.to make a few remarks. (Hear, hear). A few days before my last term of offleo expired, I looked with pride and pleasure on the record of. what had. been accomplished during the time 1 had held the reins of ofiicc. I did not then intend to offer myself for re-election; but when I heard the names of a Labour Candidate for Angel Meadows and a local confectioner mentioned as the most likely persons to take my place.
knew tho great schemes which this council had in hand would never bo brought to a satisfactory conclusion, and 1 therefore placed inytelf n'gaiii in your hands. 1 have to thank you for the honour you have conferred upon me in electing me for a second time, and by a substantial majority, as Jfayor of Cheshire. (Applause). I shall lead the Council in . tlio future, as I have done in the past, to the best of my ability. (Hoar, hear). I am proud to toll you -that the Mayor of Waterloo has kindly consented to lay the foundation-stone of our Eiffel Tower (3000.fcct high) on New Year’s Day, (Applause). That atone has been on view for tho past three weeks in tlie Market Place. (Laughter). I have also to inform you that the mayor of Worston (Sir Thomas Boothman) has kindly promised to open public washhouses in Cheshire on Whit-Mondny morning, for the benefit of tho washer-women of the borough. (Cheers). The council have decided to give two valuable prizes early next Spring for the cleanest and best regulated back yard.—Dr. Penny’s decision to be final. The first prize will consist of a handsome and valuable white-wash brush, and the second, of a bag of lime. (Clicers) In conclusion, I thank you for ^pour attcndanccj and hope you have thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. 1 request that you will now go quietly, pcacably, and soberly to your own houses, and drink to tho health and the prosperity of tlie Corporation of the Borough of Cheshire. -(Loud and continued

Tlic company then adjourned to the Council , ,
, « After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had
been duly honoured, that eminent legal luminary, the Borough Q.C., moved the toast of the evening in tho following terms Your Worship tho Mayor, aldermen, and conncillors oT the borough 'of Cheshire, and friends. It has fallen to my lot to propose the toast of the evening, namely, the health of His Worship tho :^Iayor of the borougl of Cheshire. I think he is the right nmn in the right place, and has always done his best to benefit the public of the borough of Clicshire. (Applause). I don’t think we can find a better man in the borough of Clithoroc to fill tho position in the same manner that he 1ms done, let alone the borough of Cheshire. I don’t know that I have anything further to say, and I ask you, one and all, to drink to tho healtli of our present Mayor, coupled with that of the Mayoress. (Hear, hear). The toast was received with musical honours. ^ The I^Iayor responded in a speech, of which
tho following arc a few extracts:—! was clad to notice in the forecast of tho speech of the Mayor of Clithcroo, that his relations with foreign powers were friendly. I am happy to state that my relations with the crowned heads of Europe arc most satisfactory. So long as the flag of Liberty—the flag of Cheshire—floats proudly in the breeze, the pence of Europe will never be
disturbed. (Applause). I had an interview with the Genimu Emperor in London some few months

FACTS AND PROBLEMS IN BIOLOGY. On Wednesday evening, Mr. J. E. llargreavc.s
rend, before the weekly meeting of the Moor Lane a very ably written paper on “ Facts ?nd
Problems in Biology.” Last winter ISfr Har. greaves gave an essay on “ Evolution,” and in a. discussion which ensued in the columns of the
CUthf.Toe Times he was accused of having advanced theories without supporting them by fjicts. He sought thereforo in the paper road on Wednesday evening
to.advanco a number of facte, and mention sonic of the problems arising from them. Quoting from Huxley, the essayist defined Science as “ nothing but trained and organised coinmon-senso, differing from the latter only ns a veteran may differ fram a raw recruit, and its methods differing from those of common-sense, only so far as the juardsman’s cut and thrust differ from the manner ;n which a savage wields his club. TJic man of
science, simply uses with scrupulous exactness tlie methods wc all, at every moment, use care lessly.” Biology might bo defined as the study of living things. For a, definition of .“ life,” the essayist condensed Spenser’s definition into the f ol l owingLi f e is a continual xidjusiment between external and internal conditions.” After asking the question “ What is the difference between plants and animals ? ” The essayist proceeded to. answer it by sliowing that in tho lower forms of life it is ditncult or impossible for a lino of demarcation to bo drawn. Formerly it was believed that plants did not posses tho power of sensation. But, contrast ing the power of sensation of an amwba witli that of a mimosa, that of tlic vegetable was found to be the greater. Tho seme plant also showed a higher power of movement than many forms of animal life. In other matters the essayist pointed out the difficulty of making a distinction between
plants and animals, in their lowest forms. Forms of life wore ilien enumerated and briefly explained down to the simplest form t>f life—the plastid, and then the essayist returning traced life througli suc cessive forms and stages to tho higher branches. Having thus dealt in an exhaustive manner with soicntitlc facts, he proposed the question: “ Is there any connection between one form of life and and another, or aro they each separate creations ? In otiicr words, when jirocecds life ? ” Two answers had been given. . The special creationist took his stand upon tho Biblical account of creation. The evolutionist took another stand point, asserting that the multitudinous forms of life had developed from fewer and lower forms. The essayist’s final conclusion was that life is pro gress—ever Jiighcr 5 not so much physical progress as intellectual and moral; and that it was tho duty of mankind to increase their intelligence and to endeavour to add to the happiness of others. A discussion followed the reading of the paper.
