FORFAR. First Croft Market. The first Croft market was held on the High Street, Forfar, yesterday. There was a fair show of cattle, and a good attendance of buyers. There was a brisk demand for good cattle, and a considerable amount of business was effected.

The prices obtained ranged from lis to 123 per stone. Among the purchases made by Dundee flssbers were the following Mr Robert Kidd bought ten beasts at 25 a-head, and six at 20. from Mr Nicoll, Flemingron Mr Mdne bought six at 13, also from Mr Nicoll and another Dundee rlesher bought six from Mr Nicoll at 12. Mr Duncan bought one bea3t at 19, and another at 16 10s. The grain market was a little brisker.

ALYTH. Wifeb EATING. Yesterday, John Patterson, carter, New Alyth, pled guilty before Sheriff Barclay at Perth to assaulting his wife on the 7th instant, and was sentenced to pay a fine of 20s. or suffer twenty days' imprisonment, and to find caution to keep the peace for six months or suffer an additional twenty days in jail. It is a long time since so many criminals from this place were at once in Perth Prison as there are at present.

The Curlers and the Railway Company. Ever since the curling match on Storuiont Loch our curlers who had the misfortune to be there have been loud in their denunciations against the conduct of the Caledonian Railway Company on that occasion. The train due here about 7 p.m. did not arrive till nearly 9 o'clock. The fares charged are also much complained of.

B. Esq. of Glenbervie, and the hall was respectably filled. Mr Giifillan drew a graphic picture of the caves, craigs, dells, burns, towering cliffs, gloomy forests, silvery lochs, and mountain tarns, descriptive of the scenery immortalised by Scott, Macpherson, Wilson, and others. To understand the poetry of Macpherson he said the reader must visit the dark stream of Cona, battle the tempests in the mountain gorges, and sleep in the solitudes of the dense forests, and it was the want of this experience that made Ossian so little understood.

The lecturer himself loved Ossian Scott and Christopher North also loved and appreciated that book, but Macaulay did not. His description of the giants Cairngorum and Benmacduie, and the lovely Highland Loch Maree, with his homeward journey through lonely Glencoe on a misty day, was heart-stirring. The lecturer, who has on several previous occasions favoured us with lectures, was often applauded, and at the conclusion the Chairman craved a hearty vote of thanks, which was warmly responded to. and a I a pm 1 im ESTABLISHED QUARTER OP A CEN'TCky F.

DEPUTATION TO THE LORD ADY0C4TB. Yesterday afternoon, a deputation waited upon the Lord Advocate at his chambers, Parliament Square, Edinburgh, to bring under his consideration the importance of introducing into Parliament a Roads and Bridges Bill for Scotland. The deputation was accompanied by Mr Miller, M.P., and Mr Macfie, M.P. Mr Millee, M.P., introduced the deputation, laying it consisted of representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and Chamber of Agriculture, Edinburgh the Leith Chamber of Commerce, and the West of Scotland Road Reform Association. Their desire was to endeavour to impress upon his Lordship the necessity of having a Road Bill brought in, as to put s.11 the counties of Scotland in the same position.

Mr Macfie remarked that the inhabitants of Leith were much interested in this question. Mr Greig, Secretary of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, said Last year Mr Murdoch and myself were sent to London to endeavour to get a bill on the subject of Road Reform introduced into the House of Commons. Your Lordship is aware that eome years ago a Royal Commission advocated the abolition of tolls. And the Lord Advocate prepared a paper giving the heads of such clauses as the bill proposed to be introduced. We thought it better to put these clauses into the shape of a bill and with Mr Agnew's assistance, and tinder his Lordship's supervision, we prepared a bill.

"Your Lordship's name was on the back of it; but of course we do not say there is any complicity. After much opposition, and after remedying difficulties as far as possible, we found that was not at all the same opposition to the principles of the bill as we found on first going to London. A freat many members of Parliament who were at rst hostile to the bill supported it. The bill was introduced and read once. But we do not ask your Lordship's concurrence in the bill.

We come with the simple and respectful request that your Lord-ahip will introduce a bill to abolish tolls in Scotland. In several counties they have already been abolished but the cases wherein the diliculties occur chiefly are those that remain. We are trying to get your Lordship to pledge yourself to bring in a bill to abolish tolls in Scotland, and I now lav on the table the bill, which, after a great deal of trouble, we have suc-oeeded in netting laid on the table of the House, and in which I may say there has been a general concurrence, and of persons too who were at one time elichtly hostile. Mr Wakefied appeared as Chairman of the West of Scotland Road Reform Association, who were unanimous that a general bill should be brought in to abolish tolls. The Lord Advocate, having heard the deputation said Gentlemen, the subject is of undoubted inv and important to a degree which it is difficult to exaggerate.

All I can say at present is, that it will have my best and most earnest attention and consideration, and that 1 shall not fail to bring it under the notice of Her Majesty's Government, whatever opinion I may form with respect to it. In regard to that opinion 1 should not wish to say more at present than that my impressions and sympathies are the reverse to the views which you entertain. I am quite alive to the importance of having Scotch measures brought in at an early period of the session so a'ive to its importnuce that I certainly mean, if it is in my power to act upon that rule, not in this matter only, but in others in which Scotland is interested, and in which it is expected, I think, that I should take the initiative. The deputation then thanked his lordship for his courtesy, and withdrew. 8 20 1 1 0 6 35,11 IS 8 40 ll 18 6 48 11 23 8 ol 1 11 26 6 57 30 1 30 9 15 9 30 9 43 9 46 9 52 9 55 9 59 10 1 10 3 10 15 Goods 1 34 STORED, and Purchases to the val'H if ri, PriiKD.

THE LADIES OF EDINBURGH AND THE ALEXANDRA LIMP. A correspondent of the N. B. Mail writing from Edinburgh says A monstrosity has made itself visible among the female promenaders iu Princes Street, the Alexandra limp Shoes with torturing heels in the middle of the foot Grecian bends and preposterous mincing steps as of a duck on hot plates, have been common enough nay, I have even seen canes in the hands of some female frequenters of our fashionable exhibition streets but this newly acquired affectation excels them all. It is as painful as it is idiotic and ludicrous.

Taking my customary walk the other day, observant of men, women, and things, I met three ladies we were going to say, as they wore female attire, and that made and adjusted in the height of fashon but as no true lady could possibly adopt a fancy which had its origin in the pain and suffering of one so dearly beloved as our beautiful future Queen, we can only call them so by the courtesy due to all women, be they what they may. These ladies" wore the costume of the period, a little elaborated even, if that were possible. They were all three young, all three good-looking, and all three lame At least such was my impression, seeing they all carried handsome sticks and limped but on looking back, as everyone else did, I could discover no reason why they should do so, except the hideous puffing out and leaning forward which has become part of the ed ucational deportment of our girls our young ladies. Indeed, one decent woman expressed her pity in an audible Puir things as she passed, but I was enlightened by hearing a pretty girl exclaim to her companion. Why that's the Alexandra limp How ugly Ugly is a faint term to express what it is, but doubtless, the same class of persons have introduced it to Buchanan Street by this time.

Another thing remarkable about one of those girls was her hat. She had an immense quantity of grebe trimming about her dress generally, but the whole was surmounted by a hat of which nothing could be seen but a pheasant Its head was in front, its tail behind, and the top of the hat was made of its breast. It looked at a little distance exactly like a sitting hen, and was very remarkable and ugly. With regard to the "limp," I heard that a fashionable Edinburgh shoemaker, one who carries the royal arms over his shop front, actually made and vended the boots necessary to produce the deformity, and that a pair of dainty boots had actually been exhibited in his window, one with a high heel and one without, labelled "The Alexandra Not having seen the articles in question, however, I cannot vouch for the truth of the BJf SON CLOCKS Of all kinds.

Dundee, in the U. P. Church, on Monday evening the Rev. Mr Uunlop presiding. The audience was not large.

The Doctor's Bubject was Our Young Men," and throughout it was a most interesting and entertaining lecture, eloquently delivered. The audience were close in attention, and evinced how much the lecture was appreciated by frequent rounds of well-merited applause. At the close a most cordial vote of thanks was awarded to the reverend lecturer for his trouble and splendid mental treat. The other lecturers are expected to be the Rev. Dr Marshall, Coupar-Angus the Rev.

George Gilfcllan, Dundee Councillor Frank Henderson, Dundee Bailie Japp, Alyth and the Rev. Thomas Adam, Kirriemuir. The District Savings Bank. In looking over the annual statement of the Alyth district branch of the savings bank, several interesting items are to be found, chief amongst which is the fact that a good number have availed themselves of its usefulness. The statement is down to the 20th November, and from it we gather that the balance at the credit of depositors brought down at which date 237 accounts had been opened, and 57 closed, leaving 180 current accounts according to the following classification 132 whose respective balances, including interest, not exceed 5 each 23 above and not exceeding 10 each; 11 above 10, and not exceeding 20 each 10 above 20, and not exceeding 50 each 2 above 50, and not exceeding 100 each.

These along with two friendly societies having deposits of 9 4s 2d, had, at the date referred to, a total of accumulated cish amounting to 918 16 i 2d. The sum received during the year thus closed was 433 8s 51. Of the 178 individual depositors there are ten engaged in agricultural employments, two of which are females domestic servants, 12 mechanics and their wives, 34 twenty-three being males and eleven females; shopkeepers and clerk, tailors and dressmakers, 5 mill-workers, 37 -four being males, and thirty three females minors under fourteen years of age, 43 twenty-two being males and twenty-one females; labourers. 3 other3 whose descriptions are not specified, 29 eighteen being males and eleven females. We give the above few details in order that they may interest others who are not depositors yet, and so induce them to become depositors as soon as they can.

And it may be right to add that there are no expenses incurred, but on the other hand a higher rate of interest is always given to depositors in this bank than is allowed to depositors in the other ordinary banking establishments.

The Alleged Crukltt oh Board a Montrose Vessel.

Yesterday forenoon an adjourned Justice of Peace Court was held in the Courtroom here, before Messrs R. Walker and R. Hector, to hear the case against the boys, James Scott and William Smith, charged with desertion from the ship Inver-gordon of Montrose, commanded by Captain Greig, while the vessel was lying at Greenock. The case was continued from the 8th September for the evidence of Captain Cables of the Britannia of Montrose, who was at Cardenas when the alleged cruelty took place, but who was at the 8th of September on a voyage to the Black Sea. At this diet neither of the boys appeared, and Mr Ross, their agent, was also out of town.

Mr Burnes, for the pursuer, produced Captain John Creig, who proluced three letters he had received from his son, Captain James Greig, who found them in the sleeping berths of the boys after they left the Invergordon. Two of the letters were to the boy Scott, telling the boy that if Eroof could be got of the master ill-using the boys would take, him away from the ship, and telling him also by what route to come home and he would take the chances. The letter also contained postage stamps, which the boy was told to keep clean and sell. The other letter was to the Smith, and while asking as to the ill-usage received, was much of the same purport as the other. The fathers, who were present, said that the boys in letters to them had complained of ill-usage, and these letters were written for more information.

Mr Burnes also produced a letter received by Mr Napier from Captain Cable9. stating th.tt he knew nothing of the alleged assault by Captain Greig to his bovs, and that Mr 1'oss had no authority to use his name in the matter. The Justices then granted warrant to apprehend the boys and bring them before the Court to answer to the charge preferred against them. BRECHIN. Thett of Money At the Police Court yesterdaybefore Provost Craig Clementina Currie, River street, was charged with stealing from the shop of Mr John Young, public-house keeper, Swan Street, on Monday last, a linen bag containing 6.

She having been previously convicted of theft was remitted to the ARBROATH. Theatre A theatrical company, under the management of Mr Henry Bradford, opened the Trades' Hall for a short dramatic season on Friday evening last. The principal piece produced has been the racing drama of The Flying Jib," written by Mr Bradford, his gentleman has sustained the character of Tim Flick in a very masterly style, while the other parts have been well sustained by the other members of the company. The scenery, appoiutments, and stage effects are very good the best, we may say, that have been in the Trades' Hall for a number of years. Burning op a Flax Warehouse.

No small alarm was caused about nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, when, from the luminous appearance of the air to the south, it was evident that a fire bad broken out. It was found to be caused by a timber hackle house, or flix warehouse of small extent situated on the old line of railway to the south side of Ladyloan, and between the old station buildings and Murray Field. The warehouse was occupied by Mr Ritchie, twinespinner, and formed the western end of his ropewalk. It is not definitely known how the fire originated, as there was no one on the premises at, the time, and no fire is ever kept at the dace. The flames rushed up with great force, owing to the inflammable nature of the building and its contents, but this only lasted for a few minutes, and by the time the crowd gathered there was nothing to be en but smouldering embers.

The fire engine was got down to Ladyloan, but was there stopped, as the building was down, and there was no other place westward in any danger. The wind being easterly saved the covered ropswalk, but to make sure that portion of it adjoining the warehouse was torn down, thus effectually destroying the communication. We have not learned the extent of the damage, but do not suppose it can be great. The building, which was very narrow, seemed to be about twenty feet in length. KIRRIEMUIR.

Fever. A requisition, having been sent to the teachers, 4c, for their signature, to have the schools closed for a short time, we observe that Mr Howie, teacher, has posted and circulated through the town his reasons for refusing to adhibit his name to the requisition. Abstinence society. This Society held its usual monthly meeting in the Parish School David Wilkie, manufacturer, in the chair. The meeting was interspersed with songs, tc, and the readers were Mr Charles Howie, A Rector of Webster's Seminary, and Mr David Jollie.

Both readers gave general satisfaction. We might be allowed to suggest that, as there are no popular readings at present, they might ba of more frequent occurrence, say once a fortnight. GLAMIS. Seasonable Bknevolence. The annual distribution of coals given by the Right Honourable the Lady Glamis, through her almoner, Dr Tannoch, to the necessitous poor of the village took place last week, when a cartload was given to each of them, a gift which must be comfortably felt at this must inclement season.

Ice Preserving The new ice house at Bridgend, built some two or thr. years ago, to meet the increasing wants of Glamis Castle, has at last got filled for the first time. Owing to the absence of intense frosts for the two previous years there has been no opportunity until the present severe weather set in of doing so. 150 cart loads of capital ice have been securely packed into it. Curling Match for a Caledonian Medal.

A match for a Caledonian medal between three rinks of the Kirriemuir and three rinks of the Glamis Cur'ing Clubs took place on the Lindertis Pond on Monday.

FEMALE STUDENTS OF MEDICINE IN AMERICA. The recently reported demonstration against lady students at Pennsylvania Hospital, has given rise to copious discussion in the American papers, and the Faculty of the Women's Medical College of Philadelphia has issued a statement as to the position in which the female students are placed. The document says: "Considering it decided that, as practitioners of medicine, the guardiaflianship of life and health is to be placed in the keeping of women, it becomes the interest of society and the duty of those intrusted with their professional training to endeavour to provide for them all suitable means for that practical instruction which is gained at hospital clinics. The taunt has heretofore been frequently thrown out that ladies have not attended the great clinical schools of the country, nor listened to its celebrated teachers, and that, consequently, they cannot be as well prepared as men for medical practice. We believe, as we have always done, that in all special diseases of men and women, and in all operations necessarily involving embarrassing exposure of person, it is not fitting or expedient that students of different sexes should attend promiscuously that all special diseases of men should be treated by men in the presence of men only, and those of women, where it is practicable, by women in the presence of women only.

It was this feeling, founded on the respect due to the delicacy of women as patients, perhaps more than any other consideration, which led to the foundiug of the Women's Hospital of Philadelphia. There the clinical demonstration of special diseases is made by lady physicians, and before lady students alone. As we would not permit men students to enter these clinics, neither would we be willing out of regard to the feelings of men as patients, if for no other considerations that our students should attend clinics where men are specially treated, and there has been no time in the history of our college when our students could intentionally do so, save in direct contravention of our known views. In nearly all of the great public hospitals, however, by far the larger proportion of cases suited for clinical illustration whether medical or surgical is of those which involve no mcessary exposure, and are the results of diseases and accidents to which man and woman are subject alike, and which lady physicians are constantly called upon to treat. Into these clinics, women also often sensitive and shrinking, albeit poor are brought as patients to illustrate the lectures, and we maintain that wherever it is proper to introduce women as patients, there also it is but just and in accordance with the instincts of the truest womanhood for women to appear as physicians and students.

We had arranged, when our class was admitted to the Pennsylvania Hospital, to attend on alternate clinic days only, so as to allow ample opportunity for the unembarrassed exhibition of special cases to the other students by themselves. We encouraged our students to visit the hospital upon this view, sustained by our confidence in the sound judgment and high-minded courtesy of the medical gentlemen in charge of the wards. All the objections that have been made to our students' admission to these clinics seem to be based upon the mistaken assumption that they had designed to attend them indiscriminately. As we state distinctly and unequivocally that this was not the fac that they had no idea or intention of being present except on one day in the week, and when no cases which it would not be proper to illustrate before both classes of students, would necessarily be brought iu, it seems to us that all these objections are destroyed, and we cannot but feel that those fair-minded professional gentlemen who, under this false impression as to facts, have objected to our course, will, upon a candid reconsideration, acknowledge that our po-ition is jus-and iutrinsi-cally right." The following been adopted by the Faculty of the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery Whereas, much controversy has existed among medical students and colleges that would involve all colleges and students in the city, we, the Faculty of the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery, having taken no part in the proceedings relating to the females attending the Pennsylvania Hospital, regard the actions of those who have as derogatory to the dignity and honour of our medical institutions, and lieve the time has passed when female culture and talent should not only be cultivated but appr ipriated to alleviate the ills and irreet the defects of our physical, intellectual, and moral condition. We also deprecate any interference on the part of medical students, oi others, with the time honoured and well-regulated Pennsylvania Hospital, and are hippy to inform the public that students of the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery have tken no part with the University of Pennsylvania and ff-Tion Medical College on the one hand, or the eclectic and homoeDpathic institutions on the other, nor can we approve of the conduct of our sister institutions of legitimate medicine." Signed by all the membetB of the Faculty.

EDINBURGH CHRISTMAS CLUB. ANNUAL EXHIBITION. The third annual show of cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry and roots in connection with the Edinburgh Christmas Club was opened yesterday in the Agricultural Hall, L-even Street. The exhibition, as a whole is a highly successful one, and is admitted to bear favourable comparison with even that of last season. Owing to the butchers' prizes for the best lots of live or six cattle for slaughter not being this year offered, several farmers in the neighbourhood, to whom these prizes were the only inducement, have not sent forward stock on thu occasion.

That causes a falling off in the total number of cattle in the show as compared with last year, but it is admitted en all bands that, in point of quality, the resent exhibition is quite equal to that of last year, he same remark applies to the sheep perhaps we should even say that the show in this department is superior to that of 1868 pigs are also a good show of roots the display is the best the club have yet had and the poultry are the great feature of the exhibition. Of these -there are no fewer than 567 pens entered, containing, with extra fowls sent in for exhibition only, nearly 1000 fowls. The exhibition was thronged during the day, though the number of visitors small compared with last year, a circum-stauce probably attributable to the disagreeable state of the weather. The cattle classes were of course the great centre of attraction. Of cross oxen exceeding three years of age there was a splendid show, the first premium being awarded to a superb 'brown and white ox exhibited by Mr M'Combie, M.

Tillyfour. It is a remarkably fine specimen of its class, of exquisite symmetry, stands well on its legs, has a handsome and beautifully-set head, and possesses other points of excellence which could not fail to recommend it to the judges as entitled te the first prize. It was likewise awarded the handsome silver jug offered by the Messrs Swan for the best animal in the whole exhibition. This animal wis shortly afterwards sold by Mr Swan for 70. In the same class with Mr M'Combie's ox, a fine animal was shown by Messrs Martin, Aberdeen, which took the second premium.

Of shorthorn oxen not exceeding three years, there were three very creditable specimens shown. The first prize was given to a fine compact-looking red ox, shown by Mr Knowles, Aberdeen and the second fell to another red ox, belonging to Mr Drysdale, Kilrie, Kinghorn, which had never before been exhibited. It was sold for 49. In the polled section, there were twelve shown the first place bein given to a black ox, the property of Mr Walker, Altyre, Forres. For cross oxen not exceeding three years, Mr Drysdale took the first i with the red ox that carried off the first premium in its class at the Highland Society's Show.

Mr Drysdale was first also in the class of Highland oxen with one that had never before been exhibited and in the class of three year old heifers he took the first prize with the red beast that gained the first prize at the show of the Hiijhland -ociety. Of dairy cows there was a large and excellent display. Of sheep there was a full show, and the quality was fully equal to that of last year's. Lord fctrathmore's first prize blackfaced wedders were a very fine lot, one of them especially being as well covered over the back as any Leicester is expected to be, and otherwise was a very symmetrical and well-proportioned animal. There was a large show of roots the turnips, potatoes, anil cabbages being especially good.

In regard to the poultry, it was perhaps the best in point of quality, and the most numerous and varied exhibition ever held in connection with this or any similar society in Scotland.

An unusually large number of tradesmen are at present idle, and the sudden change has given some of them the hope of work for a day or two. Several jobs in town and neighbourhood where operations had to be suspended, will now proceed should the frost keep aloof.

Street Cbstruction3 Complaints are being made by muiy persons against a rather dangerous and obstructive practice -namely, the placiu' by merchants of bales, boxes, barrows, 4c, in front of fieir shop doors. To such an extent is this done that it is believed shopkeepers regard the practice as a sort of trade rivalry, and just put down a heap of goods in order to be like their neighbours. As there is, however, a danger of people stumbling over thess obstructions, it is to be hoped the good sense of our merchants will induce them to give up the practice.
