_Banbury Old Church._] A Gentleman wrote to one of the newspapers some
time ago,
detailing a curious incident that happened to himself, showing how
these very interesting prints and blocks are being
scattered and destroyed. He says "In the old days when Catnach was
King of the ballad world,
boys used to steal the woodblocks of Mr. Bewick the wood-cutter, and

in London one of the prints of a very beautiful block of this kind
heading a song called 'The Wealthy Farmer's Son.' I wonder
