COMFORTABLE QUARTERS. - The Police Court at the Bath Guildhall, on Monday week, supplied an amusing illustration of the estimation in which the agreeable accommodation of the Bath Gaol is held by the non-industrious classes. A beggar, of eight years' standing in the "profession", was charged with begging for a coat, with the intention, it was believed, of pawning it. When brought to the police station, he was asked by a constable on duty why he did not go to the Union. He answered that he preferred the gaol, as the fare was better;  ingenuously adding that the Bath Gaol was the best he was ever in ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EFFECTS OF AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITIONS.  Nothing induces improvement and superiority so much as emulation and rivalry.  Many of the animals which obtained the prizes at the late show, partially owe their success to the fact that they and their predecessors have been fed on Thorley's Food for Cattle.  Hundreds of agriculturists can speak to the beneficial effects which have resulted from the use of this invaluable Food.  'Star of Gwent', June 12th, 1858. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
