BLANDFORD AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The mowing match in connection with this society,
took place on Saturday, the 20th June, in the Crown
meadow, by the kind permission of Mr. Williams.
The day was exceedingly favourable, and the number
of competikes 33. The whole of the work was very
superior. As 'usual a huge number of visitor, came to
witness the interesting sight, and more than • usual
number of the leading agriculturalists of the neighbour-
hood were present, and tinted they had never seen the
work se well executed. The judges, Mr. George
Mr. John Keynes, jun , and Mr. Thomas
Garland expressed themselves highly pleased with the
work ; and, considering there were so many highly
deserving of prises, they have recommended to the con-
sideration of the committee Ur MOM than the usual
number of prizes, and, no doubt, the committee will
feel grant pleasure in attending to their request. The
whole of time prizes were given by the Baron Hawke
(independent of his annual subscription), who has
always given the isotiety his most liberal support.

Were 1f.r.4,10 None says :—The proesediap of the
Devoeport police court, on Thursday, were ealimmed
I zees which excited • good dal of ;serrhnsat. The
charge
was simply oce of wilful damage spinet Joseph
entheart, a gunner in the Royal Artillery, and quite •
young man. The magistrates on Use Bends were Mr.
R. J. Laity (Mayor) and Mr. Menem. A
woman named Jane Knotwell, whom husband bed been
for some time fied doing Use skate some service in the
flowery land of Twankydore, resides at a arroad-hand
1 clothes shop in James-street, Devonport, kept by • arm
named Alexander Clipper. On Wednesday nig=
in company with her three children and a sister
to rest, and slept undisturbed till about • purist tm
three. At that hour a noise awoke her, but she did
not know bow it was produced, and so lay awake lidos-
log. One time she thought it wee caused by some Mita
but this impression was proved to be erroneous in the
course of about half an hour, when elm awoke her eller,
and upon getting out of bed and lighting • candle feted
the ceiling of the room riming down piecemeal, and the
foot and part of the leg of a man defrauding therehoea.
In another second a man, in frill military attire, wrt
landed in the room. It!tarned out to be defendant, who
had chosen that rather unceremonious way of psyWg
visit. An alarm woe given, and the landlord of the
house awoke, and the unfortunate son of war was
handed over to the civil power. Mrs. Knotwell had
known him for about twelve months, as he was • friend el
her husband's, and be had visited her in her roor.
although he bad never before adopted the name mode of
effecting an entrance. He was usually in the habit of
coming about eight o'clock in the evening, dapping •
little while and then leering. Be only come to inquire if
iihe had beard from her husband, had always behaved
towards her as respectably as any young MIA could,
and there had never been any improprieties between
' them. When he visited her through Use root he was
quite drank, and said he did not know why he did it, ea
the same time intimating that they might take him
sway, and do what they lilted with him. In answer to
a hamaaresui query from the Bench the young woman
said she was not able at once to identify the leg as
balongine to the prisoner, when she firet saw it
down. The damage done to the roof was estkordial
7. and this sum, with the costa, the defendant was
ordered to pay, the Bench not considering the offense
anything more serious than • drunken freak. Our
readers will at once perceive the parallel between the
above and • mount losal aim Was the Davenport
artilleryman, like his Bristol brother. hunting for
, sparrows?
