by two brotliers." Tliree years later, when .at Cambridge University, A lfred won tlie Cliancellor's gold medal with a poem on the set subject of “ Timbuctoo.” “ Poems chiefly Lyrical ” appeared in 1830, and was criticised both favourably and unlavoiir.ably, but the voice of detraction w.as soon silenced by the exquisite verses which continued to flow from his pen. The publication of “ Locksley Hall,” "The Princess,” “ In Memoriam,” and kindred works added


greatly to liis renown, and on tlie death of Wordsworth in 1850, he was appoin­ ted to succeed Iiim as poet laureate. All liis work is not of equal wortli. Tlie “ Jubilee Ode,” thougli containing some flue passages, proved .a comparative failure, and was met by a perfect storm of Iiostile criticism. This failure, how­ ever, to “ write to order,” will be iorgotten amongst liis many imperishable works.


T ue erection three years ago of the


Baptist Chapel in Shaw Bridge Street will be within the memory of most o f our readers. The total cost o f tlie edifice w.as ;^.|20, but the opening services proved so succe.ssful tliat ratlier more than half o f this .amount was quickly paid off. Tile debt left on the premises of .about ;^2oo w.as .advanced by the Committee of the B.aptisl Building Fund, free of interest, on condition of its being repaid .at tlie rate of ;£'20 per year. This condition lias so far been fulfilled and tlie debt lias been reduced by ^£30- An effort h.as now to be made to clear oflf tlie remainder, and to this end a bazaar is to be held in the Public Hall, on Tlutrsd.ay, Friday, and Saturday next. Tlie remain­ ing debt of [£170 does not seem very formidable, and we understand that a large collection of articles has been got together, so that with the a.ssistance of thJir numerous frieiid.s the little commu­ nity at Sh.aw Bridge Chapel should not find it a very difficult matter to accomplish the t.ask they have set themselves of wiping out the debt and raising an additional £So with which to make some necessary alterations in the School.

CORRESPONDENCE. THE


liaten to tbc concert in aid of the Nurae’a Asaooia- tion, and to hear Mr. Borril’a lecture on tlio


To the Ftlitor of the Clitheroe Times. On Thuraday week I went to tlio Public Hnll 4®


" ,Provident Aaaociation of London,” and-tlic cauae, of'writing to yoUjis tlie'poraonal. abusejheapod


upbn mo by Mr. Borril. It appears I Iiave annoyed him by writing a pamphlet comparing tbo " I'rovidcnt” with tlic " Economic,” and for^doing this ho saya lama disgrace to tbo profession of accountants, and that if I don’t mind my; own business and let other people’s alone there arc ways and means of making mo. Tlie facts arc these Five years ago a Mr. Gray, of Newcastle, wrote a pamphlet showing the advantages of tho "■ provi­ dent "over tho “ Economic," nnd tiio “Provident have been circulating it over since. Surely Mr. Borril will allow nn investigation of tlio literature they are scattering abroad. I read Mr. Grays paniplilot, and I did not consider that he put matters faithfully before the public, so I issued a pamphlet containing my views and deductions from


his figures. I state in my pamplilet tiint wlien a niemDor m tho “ Provident" pays for a share for 30 years. Ins


money is worth TI72 14s. 9d., nnd tho niomhor only gets /100--and tlie' ‘Provident" take £72 I ts. Od. out of him. Jlr. Borril did not deny it. Taking Jlr. Gray’s figures relating to tlio acqinsition of £400 wortli of property, and putting it in its true light, I find it can he got for £156 less througli the ‘ ‘ Economic ” than through the. ‘ ‘ Provident. ” Jlr. Borril did not deny it, yet ho says I am a disgrace to the profc.ssion of accountants for giving to the public tlicso facts in tlioir true liglit. I asked Jlr. Borril how much the “ ProvidenU


would draw from a person before they gave him his deeds of a £150 house on tlic principle ns stated on tho programme of tlie concert. He said £117. Now I gatlier from their prospectus that lie has to pay £3 18s. Od. for 30 years nnd interest on £150 (£7 10s. Od.) for 25 years. ■ When these two little sums are worked out tlicy amount togetlier to £304 10sOd. But tlio "Provident"


say the rent pays tlic interest and consequently ho only pays £117 for tho house. As to tho rent paying tlie interest I admit to ho true, but I say tlie next question after paying tho interest year by year with tlie rent is tins :—How ninny years liavc I to pay it.—In tho “ Provident ” 25 years, and in tlto


“ Economic " 16 years. I believe a member of the ‘ ‘I’rovidont” is relieved


from tlic interest if his number liappcns to be


drawn in tlio ballot. Jtr. Borril said the higliest number in the “Provident" was 235,167 ami that they linve500


ballots a year. An “ Economic ” society consists of 400 members


and Imve on an average 6 ballots a year. If tlio Provident were split up into “ Economics


it would make 000 societies of 400 memhors in each society, nnd taking them at tlie rate of si.x ballots


each per year would give 8000 ballots a year, that where tho “Providoiit” has one ballot tho "Economic” has seven. Jlr. Borril spoko ratlior snoeringly of local


societies and local men, but when I asked him liow much money tlie “ Provident” had balloted t Clithoroc he practieally said “ none." I don' suppose he knew this fact, that the local “ Economic" societies conducted by local men have balloted £20,000 to thoir members Clilheroo during tho last ten years. Tliis is a fact, Jlr. Editor, wortli considering by tho Ulitlioroc licoplc, tliat by joining London societies their money is being ballottcd away to tlie benefit of some other tow n. Whereas by joining local societies they arc keeping tlioir money at home, where they can have it under their own control and by so doing assist iu tile welfare and prosperity of tlieir owai town

Water.—At the monthly meeting of the Clitheroo Ruriil Sanitary Authority, bn Jloiiday, tlie Clerk (Mr. Eastliani) reported that lie had received I from Dr. Campbell Brown, tlio result of an analysis of water taken from tlie pump in Clmrcli- squaro, Wlialley. Tlie report of tlie analysis stated tiiat the walcr contained 5'5S parts of solid matter, nnd that organic nitrogen and carbon j were present in tho water in considerable quanti­ ties. Tlio water was very soft and tlie deposit contained vegetable matter, also remains of pollution with animal matter ot some kind, hut Dr. Brown said that not knowing the source ho did not know where it came from. Ho did hot consider it nice water for domestic use, but it was not actually dangerous.—Jlr. Eastlinin stated tliat ho Bubscquoiitly wrote to Dr. Brown, infonii- iiig him that the pump was 36 yards from a I churcli yard wall, and Dr. Brown replied tliat lie" was of opinion that under these | circumstances tlic presence uf so much animal matter indicated tliat tho water was not fit for I domestic use.—Jfr. Ifawortli: If tlio cliurcliyanl had not been mentioned he would not Iiave said T ,/! ' 4 T )T 7 " T f " 4 Tr>riir P' tho water was unfit for use.—Jlr. Easthain pointed 1Y| /\ |~4i 1\
