THE No. 3. SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1845. ( PRICE . . 2d. \ STAMPED 3d. AMOS CHERRILL, Ladies', Gentlemen's, and strong Boot and Shoe Maker, Northend, Bucks, begs to inform the inhabitants of Northend and the neighbourhood, that he has commenced business in tbe above line, and he hopes to be favoured with their support. Repairs carefully done, and the lowest price charged. NEW FAST COACH. Frederick Lovelock begs to inform the inhabitants of Watlington and its vicinity, that " Tbe Woodsman" will continue to leave Watlington every morning ( Sundays excepted), punctually at half- past six, passing through Turville, Hanibledon, Great and Little Marlow, Hedsor, Taplow, and Burnham, arriving at Slough in time for the Up Train, which reaches the Paddington Station at half- past ten. " The Woodsman" will leave Slough upon the arrival of the half- past five o'clock Train from London, returning to Watlington at half- past nine. F A R E S WATLINGTON TO SLOUGH, Inside, 7s. Outside, 4s. Booking Offices: Hare and Hounds, Watlington; Crown, Slough. Passengers travelling by " The Woodsman," and availing themselves of day tickets, will thus be enabled to remain seven hours in London, and return to Watlington, at the expense o f , Inside and First Class, 19s. 4d., Outside and Second Class, l i s . 4d. The editor of the " Aylesbury News " seems to be his own reporter ; the editor of the " Bucks Herald" requires no reporter, all local events being supplied by other journals. And both these papers in this respect are conducted in a far better manner than the " Oxford Chronicle," connected as it is with blundering correspondents, who give some slight notice, but no correct account, of most transactions in the county. These latter do not pervert the truth for political purposes, although a lie respecting the opposite party is always excusable— at least we think so, and Johnny Gibbs will agree with us. But it is the ignorance or inattention of these reporters that causes so many misstatements. Last summer, according to the Chronicle, " Smiling Billy" informed against a gentleman of our parish for ill- using a donkey, and about a month since this paper intimated that two noblemen of the neighbourhood had assisted in starting the " Woodsman !" Mr. Walker will expect soon to see his name on the provisional committee of a bubble railway, a report of his speech at an Exeter Hall meeting, or a pair of spectacles ( O— 0) appended to his name in the score of a cricket match— if such liberties are to be taken with the truth. " Smiling Billy," it is clear, must be the Northend reporter to the Chronicle, and perhaps " the Chiltern Phenomenon " may supply the Watlington news for the same journal. There are few words in our language calculated to awaken more opposite feelings than the term Commission. The expectant cadet sees in this commission the realization of his hopes, and perhaps in after life desires nothing more than to settle down as a country gentleman in the commission of the peace. But the same gazette, which appoints the young officer to his regiment, publishes the name of the unfortunate tradesman who has the commission of bankruptcy in prospect. There are commissions of lunacy as well as of bankruptcy, but the sufferer is only cracked in the former case— he breaks in the latter. Bankruptcy is often a successful speculation with swindlers, who assure their creditors that they fail from dire necessity, but who certainly do not fail to amass considerable gain by their failure. No honest tradesman will ever court the bankruptcy court favors. But what are commissions to the commissionerships of modern times. These are the " convenient offices," 4 THE NORTHEND ALBUM. ( to borrow a phrase from George Robins,) " the admired of all admirers " of government and good living. It is pleasing to find that the Commissioners of the New Poor Law are very comfortable in Somerset House, notwithstanding their onerous duties. The board will always give attention to the representation of any case of hardship ; and, though a want of feeling may be objected to them, what petitioner can expect to find feeling in a board ? Commissioners are much wanted at Northend for the purpose of enquiring into the present state of the roads, the effect of the railway opposition upon Mr. Lovelock's morals, and the respective claims of two farmers to the Oregon or disputed territory. Mr. Walker with the assistance of three friends ( to be empowered and paid by government) will undertake to settle all these matters in the course of as many years, although the period is too short for any precedent. Every literary man will feel interest in the perusal of the following letter, which proves satisfactorily to Mr. Walker, that, as editor of the " Northend Album," he still preserves the esteem of an old and valued friend. Oxford, May 30th, 1845. My dear Walker, Allow me to offer you my sincere congratulations on this your beginning in a new line of life from that in which I have formerly known you, and my best wishes for your success. You have long, it is true, been known to the world, as you say yourself, as a man of letters; and indeed so great has been your literary character that I was once tempted to inflict summary chastisement ( warm work you will allow) on a small boy whom I overheard insinuating that you were " brother to the dustman." But you have now emerged from the chrysalis state of a postman into all the splendors of an editorial butterfly : you are now privileged to speak no longer in the common but yet singular number ; it is no longer with you all your " I," but it is now given to you to use the language of a pluralist— the " we" of majesty and editors of the press. It is not for me to instruct you in the use of the English language, with the beauties of which you are already so well acquainted : indeed I am about the last person who should pretend to such an office. The Isle of Dogs in early life, and Billingsgate in my maturer years, were the principal academies at which I studied : the former affording me a mere patois, and the latter a style which, although highly figurative | and well adapted to the expression of impassioned feelings, I could scarcely venture to recommend as a model for the Journal of Northend. Even there, I hear, some of its inflexions are not altogether unknown. But still, if you wish to attain a varied and powerful style, I would bid you to study our English authors— among the best of whom are, I believe, Mr. Burke, for the sublime and beautiful; Dr. Johnson, for " the reticulated and decussated, with interstices between the intersections Mr. Leigh Hunt, for the bread and butter, tea and macaroon style ; Lord Byron, for the gin- and- water style ; Harrison Ainsuiorth, in that of Jack Sheppard and the Newgate Calendar ; Tom Moore, in the affectionate; Joe Hume, in the arithmetical ; and Daniel O'Connell, in the furious and vituperative style. These, with a dash or two of Pitt, Wakley, Charles Fox, and Rowland's advertisements, winding up with a smattering from Tom Duncombe, George Robins, and the Bishop of Exeter, will, I think, perfectly qualify you for your arduous office as editor of the " Northend Album,"— the duties of which you have hitherto so cleverly and successfully performed. Your paper is a most spirited undertaking, and conducted in an excellent manner : having for its object the correction of vices and follies, without suffering its satire to degenerate into mere personal invective. I heartily wish you the prosperity you deserve, and hope that the advice I have thus presumed to offer you may be deemed worthy your attention. I beg to subscribe, in the first place, threepence to your journal, and, in the second, myself, as your friend and well- wisher, SNOOKS, of Queen's. At present, the kindest schemes ofthe Great Western Railway Company are thwarted by opposition; the Slough and Watlington coach has been denounced by that influential body, and is still running! Mr. Lovegrove, who is naturally averse to Woodsmen, in vain pursues his plans of opposition. With respect to Messrs. Lovegrove and Lovelock, it may be stated that there is no Love lost between them. It must be confessed that London people, who have never heard of the Woodsman, occasionally travel by the Maidenhead coach to Marlow, although they patronise the Slough road on their return to town. This fact we discovered while assisting an elderly gentleman to climb up to the roof of the Watlington coach. Mr. Lovegrove was singing in a pathetic strain the following impromptu:— 0 Woodsman, spare that fare, Take not that man to Slough ! Last week I left him there, And you have book'd him now. THE NORTHEND ALBUM. 15 NORTHEND, JUNE 21st, 1845. One Sunday in last month Mr. Walker observed the emblem of poverty in the parish church. A church- mouse, probably a very regular attendant, can find the means of subsistence within those walls— it would perish in a union workhouse. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.— Mr. Green attended the petty sessions at Watlington on the 24th of May, having been served with a subpoena, as he stated. He perhaps mistook the term, at all events, if he went to Watlington with a subptena, he returned to Turville with a fieri facias. N O R T H E N D RACES. On Monday, May the 19th, after the termination of a good cricket- match, the Northend races occasioned much sport. Tbe following were the entries for the stakes. Sweepstakes of Is. each p. p. Is. added by Mr. Wisedale, open to all British donkeys— members of the N. C. C. riders— no saddles. Half- mile Course:— Mr. Lovelock's Steel. Mr. George's Berkshire. Mr. Holland's Tomday. Mr. Major's Dragsman. Mr. Clinkard's Courtship. The President's Carpenter. The Secretary's Zai. Mr. Major and Mr. Clinkard ( ought to have) paid ft. At the first start the others went off well together, and Mr. Holland soon went off well himself. Berkshire bolted upon seeing some ladies, but was brought back. Carpenter now took a slight lead, bis jockey falling first on the off side, and after remounting on tbe near. Mr. Holland and the Secretary soon shewed in front ( of their donkeys' withers—) and fell heavily. On coming into the straight running, Berkshire was leading about thirty lengths — it was Lombard Street to Summer Heath upon Mr. George when within a length of the winning- post, but his donkey saw the tent, ( in which he had found some bread that morning) and into it he carried his disappointed jockey. Steel came up, and won in a canter— being unable to gallop, as we understood— Berkshire in the tent, the rest nowhere. Match. Mr. Gray on foot beat Zai ridden by the owner over the same course. Ladder- race. Mr. Cherrill on Carpenter beat Mr. George on Berkshire over the half- mile— two ladders. Gentlemen were not aware that secure stables could be hired at Northend, and Berkshire actually travelled twelve miles in his clothing on the morning of the 19th. The July meeting is fixed for the 28th, and donkeys may be sent to Mr. Trendell, or any other trainer. Each succeeding Monday has witnessed a pleasant meeting of the Cricket Club; the attendance has not been numerous, the members being most anxious to play a match with as little practice as possible. On the 26th great disappointment was occasioned by the announcement that the Bicester gentlemen could not muster an eleven sufficiently strong to contend with the Northend Club. Our eleven were informed, of course at the eleventh hour, and, being dispirited, did little justice to the good cheer provided by Mr. Uff. Northend and Bicester, Walker now avers, Like furriers, may circulate their puffs— Our common boasts a goodly show of furze, Their cricket- ground a choice display of muffs. On tbe same day tbe people of Northend proceeded to elect a member for that newly- constituted borough. Mr. Amos Cherrill was proposed and seconded with acclamation. Mr. Trendell was also proposed, but no one appearing to second his nomination, Mr. Cherrill was declared duly elected. The new member was immediately chaired in front of the White Hart; the procession was preceded by the Northend band, and the vicinity of the pond was avoided, at Mr. Cherrill's particular request. On the return of the procession to the White Hart, the successful candidate took his seat in the house, one of bis supporters, who had stumbled over tbe steps, having sworn the usual oaths. N O R T H E N D FASHIONS FOR MIDSUMMER. Ladies.— A printed dress over a flannel petticoat is very fashionable; bonnets of the reign of George the Third, and Henley or Watlington shawls of bright colours are generally worn; bustles au nature!. Berlin gloves and cotton umbrellas are seen at a cricket- match or other matinee; sample bags covered with chintz and fitted with old bonnet- ribands are much used as reticules. Black laced gloves are worn at the ball very generally by all who have got any. Gentlemen. — Shooting jackets are very much worn, indeed frequently out at elbows; an open waistcoat has effect over a dirty shirt; blue glass buttons are preferred; tbe tommy is indispensable at the soiree. Gaiters or leggings are worn over cotton stockings towards the end of the week. For sporting gentlemen, the coat is made very long in the waist, the buttons at the back about a foot apart, collar and general appearance very low; a dirty mouchoir is occasionally seen over the cravat. MR. W A L K E R ' S LEVEE. The above distinguished individual held his first levee for the season on Tuesday, June 3rd, at the spacious assembly room of the White Hart Hotel. The sensation created in the neighbourhood was, we are justified in stating, commensurate to the importance of the ceremony. 16 THE NORTHEND ALBUM. The Great Western Railway conducted several parties to the Slough, Twyford, and Maidenhead stations during the morning. Flies and chaises were in inconsiderable request. The Woodsman coach was heavily loaded on Monday evening, and an additional leader was in readiness at the bottom of Turville hill, though it was not attached to the coach. The shops at Henley, Marlow, and Watlington opened at the usual hour, and were lighted up with gas, oil, or tallow, according to the taste and means of the proprietors, on the approach of night. The outlay at the various hotels was such as the usual influx of company could alone have accounted for ; indeed several remarkable personages were observed to spend the previous night under canvas in the lanes and commons of the vicinity, for want of better accommodation; all the beer- houses of the neighbourhood remained open long after the proper time. The parish authorities were awake to the responsibilities of their situation, and propped up two of the most aged and feeble paupers to act as special constables, duly authorizing them to " stand no nonsense " on the occasion. Mr. Walker arrived at the White Hart precisely at twenty- three minutes past twelve in his private travelling donkey- cart and one; he wore a superb post- office uniform, resembling the old Windsor, a Saxony coarse blue coat, turned up with scarlet and edged with gilt lace, a pair of blue trousers closely fitting the shape and terminating at three inches below the knee in has de coton un peu sales, and a spick and span new pair of ready- made high- lows — those at 8s. 6d. He appeared in elevated spirits and looked remarkably ill. The illustrious personage was attended by six pages of the " Northend Album," and was received by Mr. William Uff, the gentleman in waiting ( in a splendid suit of best baragan fustian, new for the occasion), by whom he was ushered into the reception room. He immediately seated himself on the throne, a polished chair in the Windsor pattern, of Stokenchurch manufacture; the regalia were then placed before him, consisting of the splendid golden, gilt or brazen tobacco- box ( we could not ascertain which, the effect was so dazzling), and an imperial quart pot; and the presentations immediately commenced. 1.— A deputation from the brewers of Oxon. and Bucks, to present a new scheme of political finance, entirely doing away with all difficulties connected with the obnoxious malt duty. Mr. Walker received the deputation so ungraciously that they were about to peel, but fortunately Mr. W. weathered the storm. 2.— Johnny Gibbs, from Aylesbury, to present a few thumpers. 3.— A noble lord from Aylesbury gaol, to present a capital speech against capital punishment. 4.— A lady from the New Gardens, to present a petition for the baronies of Washington and Sudbury, now in abeyance. Mr. W. said that he would consider of it. 5.— Miss Buckland, by her mamma Mrs. Buckland, to request sixpence. Mr. W. said that he had left his purse in town, but would give her one at Ascot. 6.— Members of the Ch. Ch. Art Union, Oxford, to present a paint pot and brush. 7.— The Abdominal ( query, Hebdomadal) Board of the University to request Mr. W. to present his collection of statues to the Taylor Gallery. Mr. W. politely intimated that he would see them further first. 8.— The Regius Professor of Poetry of the University, to pre - sent his only composition in verse— the same which appeared in the " Journal" of the 31st, entitled " An Address to the Martyrs' Memorial," and commencing Hail, mighty martyrs! there ye nobly stand All three !!! Mr. Walker reminded him of the words of Pope, upon which he declared that he was no Puseyite, and left in a huff. 9.— John White, in a court dress trimmed with red, to present a parcel from the Blenheim coach. JO.— General Wisedale, to present the night- cap and blankets with which he defeated the enemy on the memorable siege of the New Gardens, also some gooseberries grown in the current year. 11.— A deputation of Gamekeepers, or Gamekeepers with a deputation ( we could not learn which), to present some pheasants' eggs and foxes' cubs. 12.— Lord Brougham ( with a flea in his ear), to present 1736 petitions against the Direct Oxford and London railway. Mr. Walker said he was already engaged to oppose that undertaking. 13.— Baron Gnobbstick, a distinguished foreigner. Mr. Walker held a long conversation with the Baron in an unknown tongue. Mr. Walker broke up his court at half- past two, and departed on foot for the Twyford station ( via Stonor, Assington, Henley, and Wargrave), whence he was conveyed by a Special Long Luggage train to London. We understand that Mr. Walker has issued commands for the Grand Bal costume on the 31st instant. Mr. Walker has received the following letter, and he much regrets that the correspondence should have commenced on so painful a subject. Disclaiming all intention of using soft soap on the occasion, he must pronounce the writers very clever contributors to the " N. A." " May 15, 1845. " Mr. Editor, " Fair play is good sport, hut to commence and continue an Attack on A Defencless Female Evidences the Blacking society to commence at Northend with Honary members, true the Last attempt was somewhat soaped over but that Like the Famed Paganini still Harped on the same string namely washing Prices if they are Exorbitant as before stated why not named to her in A open manner, to be A washerwoman is no degradation. THE NORTHEND ALBUM. 17 Cleaning Linen is A far more honorable employment however humble than Blackening Characters and Especially those who have allways endevoured to keep their Reputation unspotted and would gladly oblige to the utmost of their Power those who so cruelly trifle with their feelings, and take such unwarrantable Liberties with their name, Reflect one Moment Mr. Editor I besech you before you again attempt to injure my Character which is my Bread and may be already lowered in the estimation of those Ladies whose opinion I most value, Let it not be sugested that the Northend Album is Planted in so Barren A soil as to be fed by slander only, in conclusion I beg Air. Editor that I may be considered as too mean to give offence and too insignifcant for further notice and if I might solicit any favour it is that I may remain as has allways been my wish " Your obedient servant" [ The gentlemen of Northend had been led to expect a reduction in the price of washing white trousers, but Mr. Walker cannot conceive how such a matter can interest the ladies. He will take the washerwoman's word, and hope that his own ignorance may be deemed excusable.] Mr. Butlin's agent, while collecting the rents due, has been endeavouring to adminster to the comfort of that gentleman's tenants. Owing to unforeseen opposition his kind intentions were frustrated in one instance. MISCELLANEOUS. The Emperor of all the Russias, all the Polands, all the Siberias, & c., & c., and the Great Western Railway Company, are the greatest monopolists of modern times, but the Emperor's munificence has shamed— we beg pardon— ought to shame the latter. The annual donation of the splendid plate, to be run for on Ascot Heath, has added another attraction to those races; and the Company with the same spirit of liberality intend to allow the Master of the Buckhounds a free ticket to Slough during the race week— under the conviction that it will never be required. They cannot alford a subscription to the racing fund. Very like a quack.— The advertisement of Drake the chiropodist, " such a duck of a man!" At Ascot Races Mr. Walker's attention was engaged by some large placards, upon which " M. Jullien, Concert Monstre," was very legible. Men will soon be called by their right names: Punch has given a good likeness of this concert monster. The names of many dances have a military character; we have heard of the Scotch sword- dance, and we have stepped through the intricate movements of the Lancers, but in these days both " lance " and " powder " quadrilles are patronised. As for the powder quadrille, no ball can go off well without it; it will be danced at the next reunion in Mr. Rixon's barn, and the N. A. will furnish a report. Advertisement.— A protege of the Blacking Society will be happy to dictate letters, carry messages, take affronts, and do every thing in his way of business, for the sole remuneration of board and lodging. Apply to Mr. Walker, White Hart, Northend- A millionaire.— Under this title, a paragraph has appeared in the daily journals, announcing the great wealth left by a late member for Somersetshire to his children. " Miles's boys " are already becoming such favouri tes with the ladies, that they require protection in the ball- room. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. WATLINGTON. Mr. Lovelock has left the Hare and Hounds, much to the regret of his numerous friends. Mr. Walker has taken the house, and, having commenced an acquaintance with his neighbours, through the medium of the " Northend Album," will hope to be favoured with their support. It is reported that the well- known brewers, wine merchants, spirit merchants, & c. & c. are about to become coal merchants and dealers in kindlers; having already so many irons, tbey required a fire for them . This proceeding will greatly injure one Talent— not the one wrapped up in a napkin, but a man wrapped up in his own business, who has been gaining a livelihood as a dealer in fuel. " Smiling Billy " will not be affected by this opposition, though he naturally views any persons embarking in his own trade with considerable jealousy. HENLEY. We were happy to see that the usual quantity of rain fell during the Henley regatta, and we really think that the regularity of this occurrence, gives the town so decided a superiority in all aquatic amusements. We will request the stewards to publish a weather almanac, explaining the meteorological principles on which they act, in fixing the days of the races. The races went off with as much noise, and as little company, as usual. A night's rest between heats must be very refreshing to the crews of the racing boats, but it is very difficult for the spectators to pull through two days. " There's many a slip ' twixt the cup and the lip," as the crew of the Oxford boat discovered; they could not hold the cup, in fact they seem to require some steady hands. BICESTER. The two greatest swells in Europe are the swell of the grand organ at Haarlem, and the swell of the Bicester workhouse— the latter having a corresponding swell in the organ of self- esteem.— See The Governor, folio It is said that Mr. Jackman and his theatrical company have been denounced thrice— once from the pulpit, aDd twice at the missionary meetings. They must have acted very badly to incur this denunciation. A novice is open to throw the hatchet with any man in the county, and will give him three bouncers at starting. To be heard of at the Black Fisherman, Pig Street. 18 THE NORTHEND ALBUM. OXFORD. Most poetical gentlemen have gone down— though not in public estimation. One person who encouraged impositions— for he gained his living by writing them during term time— remains in the city to supply poetry or controversial letters ( we are not sure which,) to the Oxford Herald. When jolly freshmen spend their ready, And find too late that duns appear, What charm can make their credit steady? What art can keep their persons clear ? The only way to cheat the jailer, To bring surprise on every dun, To give a settler to the tailor, And sell the hatter— is to run. WOODSTOCK. ( From our own reporter.) Not a face in the parish was seen with a frown When the Oxfordshire yeomen march'd into the town— When the yeomanry come out, they " come out " indeed, And the innkeepers care not how freely they bleed. " Very beautiful seem'd their appointments and dress, Although every man soon got into a mess. Greatest credit the " orderly officers " gain'd, The disorderly populace thus were restrain'd; For the people of Woodstock, our friends will allow, At such times are much given to making a row— I confess that the fronts of some houses were clear'd, And all signs of an empty hotel disappear'd : And it seems that a good- temper'd glover was Cross When she look'd for her board and discover'd her loss; Other " Glove manufacturers " were not disgrae'd When their sign- board was scal'd, and the G was eras'd— Though our townsmen occasion'd a little alarm, No suspicion is rais'd to tbe yeomanry's harm. These attended their duty on ev'ry parade, In a short time, alas! were inspected and paid. I rode into the Park; I admir'd the review, And I wish I could tender the praise that is due ! How the trumpeters sounded, the skirmishers fir'd, And the squadrons securely attack'd or retir'd ! ( The good charges both made by the troops in the Park, And the landlords in Woodstock deserve some remark—) Colonel Smith was surpris'd, gave his very best thanks, And would gladly have stolen recruits Irom the ranks ! Most correct were the movements, the Colonel declares— May our lines and our columns do justice to theirs ! During commemoration week, several undergraduates of Oxford honoured tbe town with a visit, and from the feverish appearance of their faces, it seemed probable that they had been joining in the festivities of the season. They amused themselves by throwing heated pence among the native children for a scramble, and the painful sensation occasioned by " hot coppers," the distributors could doubtless appreciate. On the evening of the 7th, the Yeomanry races attracted many persons to tbe Park. Corporal Taylor of the Bicester troop, won the Cup with his chesnut mare; Cornet Evetts on his chesnut, carried off the Officers' Stakes. Sergeant Sheldon's mare had been backed for the Cup, and the Thame people were quite wild at the result of the race. Horses, jockeys, spectators and all were under water nearly three hours. E T O N . " Dr. Hawtrey's new work, with four cuts," has been beautifully illustrated by the boy who ran away, and was advertised in the columns of Punch. He had been so well flogged once, that he feared a repetition of the punishment. C H I N E S E PROVERBS, By the Gentleman who used to write them for the Bucks Herald. A fast man and a fast train will smash at the last. To- day is the 21st, to- morrow is tbe 22nd— our days are becoming shorter. Tin runs away, but a tick stands. T O C O R R E S P O N D E N T S. " A curious Person" wishes to have one peep at the coachman of the Woodsman, and hopes that he will drive the coach once to Slough before the end of June. In answer, me may state that we have seen him on the box four or Jive times, and the coach has only been running seven weeks. A Butler wishes Mr. Walker to know that he has no reason to blush when he applies the term ' champagne' to the vin de Groseille, as he is not in the habit of tasting it before he offers it, and, he is sorry to say, he has not much chance afterwards. By inserting this, Mr. Walker will much oblige A LOOKER- ON. We hope to receive the butler's opinion of this wine as soon as he ceases to be only a looker- on; we want to hear of some good champagne, it is so very scarce. From Bicester came the following CURE EXTRAORDINARY. Mr. Walker, Crockle. Plase Sir, my naber, Jack Ormsby, Cotched the roomatis, witch were the Cashun of His Having no glass in His winders all last winter, He Have wore a vulganick ring and Hant Had no panes since he eant no scolard so I remane, Tours trewly, Not next door but the next. J. GREEN. The White Hart, Northend, is the office of the Album, and Mr. Walker will attend on every Monday, for the purpose of collecting correspondence. His business may call him to Watlington, but his professional duties at Northend will never be forgotten or neglected. On August 2nd will be published the fourth number of the " Northend Album," price twopence, or, stamped, threepence. Orders received by Mr. SPYER, Printer, Watlington. Agents for the " Northend Album." Mr. SPYER, Watlington. Mr. WYATT, Oxford. Mr. HARMAN, Wycombe. Mr. SMITH, Bicester. Mr. ROBSON, Thame.
