OUR MENBERI HAT.

We are sorry to have to record • sad oat-kststrophe
which betel our respected member on the mersion of
the Volunteer supper. It would seem Kr. Schreiber,
with his natal desire to make himself popular, was
present, and entered the hall bowing sad smiling
in return to the cordial greetings with which he was
remised. In his hand he carried a superb Lincoln
and Sennett. It was immaculate as to polish; it was
the perfection of fashion, and its shape was unquestion-
able—in fact it was " • thieg ot beauty," although
destined to be an)thing but 'a joy for ever.'
Our member alt wheal his overcoat ts one of the sus-
panders in the hall, and above it hung the aristocratic
"gold." The dinner was extremely nice—there were
good things to discuss, and good company to discuss
them, and as "our member " was particularly well
remised, he bid good-bye to the meeting in the same
happy frame of mind as when he first greeted it.

A change. however, cone o'er the spirit of his dream

OODFELLOW, FETE AND DEMONSTRATION.

The " liand-in•liand" Lodge of 0 idfellows, who
had made unusually strenuous efforts to provide
amusements for the people on Coronation Day, and
which, had the weather only been propitious, would
have been suomeaftil as a demonstration and profitable
to the Lodge, were not so fortunate in their selection
of the day aa they certainly deserve It • be. The
brilliant sunshine, which has gladdened the country
for weeks past, seemed to have been for • day or two
previous to o..ronation Day, and on the eventful
day itself, transformed into rain, mist, gloom, and mad,
those invincible enemies of demonstration committles.
loorchester had prepared itself for a holiday, tearly
the whole body of tradesmen baring agreed
to close at an early hour; but all this only made the
inevitable failure all the more tantaliaing. At an
early h iur rain fell, and it continued to fall intermit-
tently throughout the day. About noon there was •
slight lapse in the energies of the rainy god, but
only sufficient ti allow • portion of the
procession to parade the town. and then down it came
again with greater persistency than ever. It had been
arranged that the procession should sasemble at the
Yeir-field, formed by brethren of the Order, assisted by
members of kindred societies. A committse, °omelet-
leg of the following, Mr. C. T. Old, the ssalone
secretary of the Lodge, Bros. P.G. Solway. P.G. Rea I.
Mille, NO. Winter, Bailey, Han* and
13,wring, had prepared an elaborate programme of
anneemente for the alter-coon, and a series of athletic
sports was also to form a prominent feature in the day's
attractions. Arrangements had been made with the
two railways for special cheap fares, and there is not
the slightest doubt had the weather been favourable the
IM. would have been a successful and enloyable one
Certainly the committee had done their beet, and it is
greatly to be regretted that the trite fund In a omen-
tion with the Lodge will have to be drawn on to meet
the expenses.
Notwithstanding the rein, in the early part of the
afternoon there was • proosesion of some of the members,
headed by the band of the 3rd Battalion Doreetshire
Regiment (under Bandmaster Lamas.) It <mold not
be expected that many persons would have visited the
field, bole fair number braved the elements and spent
ma pleasant • time as p "sible. The band played a
programme of dance music, and some lighted•bearted
couples tripped it merrily.
The principal attraction would have been the military
tournament and assault of arms by members of the
BALA but this of wane wee materially
interfered with. A capital trapeze performance
was, however, given by Bombardier Caller and
Driver Dooley, whose feats ceased such a sensation at
the Barracks some time ago. Under very dispiriting
circumstances they bravely went through their clever
and trying feats, and won hearty applause,
Bro. Seaway, of the Dorchester Arms, provided
refreshments during the day.

To the E.

Dear Sir,—l notice in the Sao of Saturday last a
paragraph concerning the Trinity Fife and Drum Bend,
of which I ern &member, which says the band proceeded
to • publichouse and drink was supplied them. True,
drink wam supplied them, but of • non-intoxicating
nature. The ECU correspondent seem, to know more
than we, the members, can give him credit for. May
be the drink in this cue wee in his offizial head
instead of the ban!. lie had better take my advice
and go to the parochial clergy himself and get a little
advice on truth telling and temperance, which I have
no doubt would benefit him and prevent him from
harming others.—l remain, your' respectfally,
Dsrixer..

TO the Editor.
Dear Sir,-1 duties! • large number of your readers
saw thepsragraph in last week's issue of the Weymouth
and County 8010, which stated that after the boat
racing on the Front the Trinity Drum and Fife Band
"proceeded toe public house, followed by the winning
crew, where they played sever al pieces, and drink was
supplied to them." Now. I should like that correspon-
dent, whoever he is (certainly DOMeOIIO jealous of the
prosperity of the band), to know that • few members
of the club, and not the winning crew, simply followed
the band up to the Statute, and down the Front to the
Hell Vue corner, where they played • few tunes, and
• few bottles of pivotal' were supplied them by the cap-
tain of the club, but they certainly did not, as the Eclso's
correspowlent iosinustes, go inside • publiohouse and
play for beer. Also he slates the band was started on
temperance principles. Now, when the band was
started, not a word was said about temperance, but as
• fact the majority of the band are total abstainers.
For the future, before this correspondent makes such
another charge, he had better inquire if he really is
possessed of the knowledge of the proper prooesdthgs
of the band, and not say whatever comes lot) his
head—Yours truly,

'TI4I LAND NEAR EDE GAS•HOUCE.

ivisable to utilise in aor way ti.e pen, of land now being

Mr. LUNDIK hoped that until the whole space was filled
in the quo ion would be allowed t stand adjourned.
Mr. WIUMORD wanted to km iw up in what principle
this spec* woe hoint filled un. It appeared to him there
waa • vast amount of matarial which was far above high
water mark, which, it it had been placed at a lower level,
would have covered the entire mince, and got rid of all the
nuisance There would not hove been any further ern ruse
if the whole bed boen c ivered over and the level raised
higher at moms future time. U. linew there was some
question shoot the atomizers remaininx here, so that the
work of dredging the harbour might h tve to be discom-
tinned. Be thought the soil should have been spread over
a greater area.
Mr. Ronan thought the way the pima Wall being filled
no Wan the bet, at co • the soil ear covered over with
fresh earth. Some time since it was dot trmined not to
use the land to hu.hting purpoio. but to keep it so an
crusasental piano of ground. In five or air years time
there would prol.ahly something happm which would
giro the plui a crest claal of east. He should like
to kern the spur open es there wad not one in the
town If there was • still farther devel ipment of the
trade in the harboor this might be availaide for mak-
lag wharves. He thought what had been done under
the direction of the Mayor was the best which could
have been done, ant ho eas pl seed with it.
Mr. WILSWORD did not th.nk Mt. Hoboes understood
what he mean'. At the pr.e nt time there wag a nuisance

THE CHARGE AGAINST A arISTOL
MANUFACTURER.

On Saturday the matter of the Queen v. Rose came
before Mr. Justice Watkin Williams and Mr. Jostles
Sositb.—kir. B. Coleridge said he had to move that
the trial of Mr. David Roes be moved from the Dorset
$0.1101311 to the Mei% and, In support of the applies-
time, reed the affidavits of Mr. David Roes and Ur.
John Leghorn Press. • solieitor, of Bristol, from which
it appeared that Mr. Rose was a member of the firm
of Messrs. Cridlani and Rose, shoe manufacturers, in
Bristol. It appeared by the affidavits that this firm
employed a large number of hands in Bristol, and on
Juno 11th of this year he (Mr. Rose) warn arrested
under • warrant charging him with unlawfully and
knowingly inducing Alfred Henry Gill, bootmaker, of
Portland, to accept three bills of exchange with intent
thereby to cheat and defraud him. Defendant was
taken before kfajor.Oeneral Henning, CR., and
justice of the peace for Dorset, who committed the
defendant for trial at the ensuing Quarter Seesioms.
Maws. Cridland and Rose had supplied goods
to Mr. George GUI, the father of the prosecutor,
A. H. Gill, Mr. G. Gill being indebted to the
firm in the NUM of £l6 odd. lii February of this
year detendaut issued a summons against Mr. G. Gill
for the amount, but It could not be served. Accord-
ing tm his affidavit, Mr. Rose believed Mr. 0. Gill had
made over his stock-in-trade to his son, A. 11. Gill,
that such sale was not a bona/kit transaction. and that
therefore. it could not be taken as valid against the
firm. After some trouble, being enable to nerve the
summons, Mr. Rose visited the shop of Gill, and there
saw in the window some of the goods aupplied for
which the money was due. Accordingly Mr. Rose
made a demand for the money, which Mr. (Ie rge
Gill refused ; but on a police-oonatable being called al
• witness to what passed, the defendant alleged the
prosecutor gave him three accepta.oss for the amount,
and it was upon thew acceptances Mr. A. 11. Gill
brought the prorent action against Mr. II 'se. There
were several reasoas why the care should be tried at
the Assize. and he (Mr. Coleridge) had • letter from
the other side raising no objection.

there was held a meeting for the purpose of the election
of two churchwardens of the vestry, according to the
custom obtaining in thin pariah. Three gentlemen,
Mr. Ellis, Mr. Berridge, and General Toting, were
proposed, and, upon a *sow of hands, the two former

At the commencement of the proceedings, General

into the hall. The returning officer informed them they
had no right to be in the hall except for the purpose of
recording their votes; upon this General Tilting claimed
the right to be present to watch the proceedings, and a
Mr. Boor, one of the party, claimed to act on
scrutineer appointed by;General Thring, and refused to
leave; upon this • soinswhat heated discussion took
place, during which the returning officers heisted that
none but voters had a right to be present. Lithe
