Teeth of St. Apollonia.—Can you, or any of 
your readers, refer ine to any work wherein men- 
tidn is made that at the suppression of the monas- 
teries, there were collected sufficient teeth of St. 
Apollonia to fill two hogsheads ? 
They were used as charms against toothache ; 
and I well remember reading, sothe years since, to 
the effect above stated, but where I saw it has 
escaped my memory. 
On reference to Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, 
Rees’s Cyclopedia, and Dr. Nathaniel Lardner’s 
Works, 1 find mention of an aficient martyr of 
that naine, whose teeth were knocked out of her jaw, 
which makes me more confident in-my supposi- 
tion that I have formerly met with the story 
somewhere. 
Any communication, addressed R. S:; Union 
Society, Cambridge, or inserted in your invyalu- 
able periodical, will very much oblige:

Memoranda, a Manuscript in the hand-Writing of Rich,

It was sold in the theatrical and miscellaneous 
library of Mr. John Field (Sotheby’s, 1827, lot 
982), and was purchased by “ Burn,” for 10s. 6d.

Bells of Ouzeley. —On the bank of the river 
Thames, at Old Windsor, and on the Berkshire 
side of the boundary between that county and 
Surrey, stands an old and well known public- 
house, which has for sign “ The Bells of Ouzeley.” 
The landlord does not know the origin and mean- 
ing of this sign, and as his liquor is good, perhaps 
he thinks the sign is of no consequence, but he 
says that the house has been known by that sign 
for more than two Geiituries. Can any of your 
réaders give any account of “ The Bells of Ouze- 
ley,” which are represented on the sign by five 
bells, Gr, on a field azure. G. R. C. 
SHinor Queries with Answers. 
Reading of the Psalms. — When the Psalins are 
Fead in the coursé of divine service by the priest 
and people in alternate verses, ought the sequence 
to be followed uninterruptedly throughout? Or, 
in case of the priest having to read the last verse 
when there is an odd number, otight he to coim- 
mencé the next psalm, or are the clerk and people 
to continue in the order in which they com- 
menced? Iam supposing a case where there is 
no organ or choir to sing the doxology.

[It is not necessary to provide a priest to /ead the 
reading of the Psalms, for the Psalms belong to the 
people, as chofus or congregation: a singing chorus, 
where there is a choir; a speaking chorus, where there 
is no choir, A chorus must have a choragus, and in the 
singing chorus this choragus is called the precentor. The 
speaking chorus may have one choragus, #.é. the cele- 
brant; or it may have two, a celebrant to read one verse, 
and a clerk (in orders or out of orders) to lead the re- 
sponse. The officiating minister is not required by any 
law to give up every alternate verse to a clerk. He may, 
should he please, read through the entire Psalm, as did 
Bishop Bedell, who declined to resign to a clerk that 
whieh most clerks were utterly incompetent to, under= 
take, The clerk’s duty was to precent upon the monotone,
