"A little brown mare she got last week. That was a terrible brush we had on Friday. You weren't out, I think. We killed in the open, just at the edge of Rotherham Common. Harriet was one of the few that was up, and I don't think the chestnut horse will be the better of it this season." "That was the horse she got from Griggs?"
Rotherham had been seated at the sick man's side, watching the course of his attack, and ready to interpret any of the patient's feebly and indistinctly expressed wishes. We say indistinctly, because the baronet's speech was slightly affected with that species of paralysis which reduces the faculty to the state that is vulgarly called thick-tongued. Although a three-bottle man, Mr.
Rotherham, who may this Sir Reginald be? Some old baronet of the family, I presume." "Not at all, sir; it is Sir Reginald Wychecombe of Wychecombe-Regis, Herts; a baronet of Queen Anne's time, and a descendant from a cadet of this family, I am told."

One paragraph of Scripture conspicuously presents the truth which George Muller's living epistle enforces and illustrates; it is found in James v. 16-18: "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much," is the sentence which opens the paragraph.

The clause was written, the sum of £1000 was inserted, and the whole was read and approved. "This still leaves us some £5000 more to deal with, my dear sir?" A long pause succeeded, during which time Sir Wycherly was deliberating what to do with the rest of his ready money.
Just then Collingwood exclaimed to his captain, "Rotherham, what would Nelson give to be here;" and at the same moment Nelson was observing, "See how that noble fellow Collingwood carries his ship into action."
And this goodness, of which I have spoken, seemed to increase as his years did; and with his goodness his Learning, the foundation of which was laid in the Grammar-school of Rotherham that being one of those three that were founded and liberally endowed by the said great and good Bishop of that name.
Pope's Odyssey In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster. The remains of this extensive wood are still to be seen at the noble seats of Wentworth, of Warncliffe Park, and around Rotherham.

"I could never make out what they meant by it," he said, "until this morning I was standing in front of my looking-glass shaving, and it came to me at a run they gave me that nickname because I'm bald!"
Stephen, in which was the chantry of the Scropes, and so many offerings in memory of the archbishop were deposited there that it increased in riches up to the Reformation. To the north of the eastern altar is the tomb of Archbishop Rotherham, died 1500. It is a plain monument, Perpendicular in style. The top is a later addition; the whole was restored after the fire of 1829.
