11. e new r al from Constitution-hill C., the Bourns
vy P ,ttery i• enti,ely reouetallesl and revived,
but st preseut it is so r oih It reminds me of the old
•' Jor.hm is hard road to travel, I holievo"

Whi!st nn the subject of roads, I would call alien-
ti t the fact that the pathway from Pools to Park-
e., e being " kerbe.l" and "treed," and mule not
ooly 1...•ab1• but ornamental, and the entrano• to our
tea hut uowqole • pl.:tumulus appearance.

ma., that by I alluded to laat week, u playing in
t'.. 1.01, Fiel.l, again • 5.1.,y or too sac..
It gr.v. tea 11. t I 4-'4 in the evening, too late for vied
bye t.. be aut of doors. an I too early, far too early,
r the eight carte to be ixaming along our streets. I
mi;ht sdi, by way of parentheeis, that althourh the
to.' WA. n whippin.; Ida top this time I met him,
ha o.etill b hie nnee, and dilating it a good
tamp!' to foll at, I did the same.

On enquiry I found 0.4 the bye-laws of the Town
ant f P. IS idlow those early vi.itatkno of
the Yam de Colo9ne " c.ininges." The sooner theme
bye laws ,re alteretl the btt:er.

A I.rge section of tip, community here object to
hare their di Wren educate:l, kept clean, and tanght
tont.ititi. Wth the two latter the Government at
pten-at .kes nt rare L. interfere, butt is astonish ng
to entice bow fit,. and mother. object to letting
their ,41.pring know too much, when education costa
"Jibing.

It in an ill wind which blow. no one any good,
tknicb, and the lawyers " get • pull" out of these
law.lireakery, 1,1 ',dice that a real, live, full fledged
onlimtv is employe.' to provecute in thew caves, the
hare et it-ment of the School Aikenilainoe Officer not
being sufficient to c uvict, even when given on oath.
A. a ratepAyer I should like to know who has to
pay.

In my bumble opinion (aud this opinion is shared by
man) the Corporat.on were sadly to blame in chow.
Is. the Cl be Hotel (formerly the Globe Inn) to he
built a. far o t. They ought to bare bought 'owe of
Pa frontage to all w of wiaeoin4 the pavement in
this narrow part of our main street.

Anti now •• the next door (Ake," or rather the owner
of their h”oses. want to bring their home/ ,mt a la
Glolc, Ina the Council object, end am they moat draw
the line somewhere, they draw it at the (dI dee.

jo4t .pohe of the Glob' Hotel ea " formerly the
Gloim Ion." Perhaps the Council, whoa drs* Jur
boundary Hues noisily* to this structure, .111 tell be
where to draw the Hos between an hotel and a 1 100.

The " sten in powression" has a thirst for publicity,
osnmencing with the paint on his window, awl ending
with appe wing before the !midi° as the modern Tons
Sayers. I forget what he itsd to pay for it, though.

The Tows Council were lately &penman', where we
soul I "shout' the town rt;g:gah. I hear from the best
authuritim coosects.l with the loner eircl • (or squares)
the, a pr p...) ie bring mule to "shoot" ce min of
the Pi rubbbb lo Wbuborne, near the Square; but
mr. of this ea the plot thickens.

A nautical friend of mine was t-lling me a great
deal twee about the yachts in Poole Nun I can
rem.mber. but I hear that the lidegnnd t. the
Male, the Ina, (Ir. Littlalalea yacht,) the
Drag .n, the Seadrift, and nereral oilers are all
6,ling out already, or are preparing to do an. M•
friend poi .to I them all out to me, and told me their
111/10,1. I admired one vessel very much. I forget which
on, at my friend told we that she would sail an fast
as any yacht ol her sig., if her deed weight wee out
riine. On uty asking what wee required to wake her
sill, he sail "tin" would do it.

The good people of Pools will rej doe to boar that
tit* l'aptuln of the fin Brigade has rsturowd t., thoir
midst. and that ths keys of th• anginas ant no longer
at Parkstons.

The Local Government Board Ins not yet sent •
reply a. to who is to c011e...t tbet rates. Whilst the
C.* ill lab iiLlice I would make a suggestion to this
ect —" that the Town Council collect their Borough.
and the Board of Guar linos collect their Poor.
vre.. and at the end of • )ear we should have the
mliehmtion of seeing whether the Borough or the Poor
had thrived most.

Not haring been plead in " the running" over this
matter. I bear that a noted Conservative of this
Borough, who hmi staked his " all" for his party, no
longer «striders Beaansfield to be Ole man, and has
changed his polities. It appears be has been trying
to lire UM] air an long that his medical advisers have
i'ogge..ted not only • change of diet but • change of
Politics.
I bear • whisper of another Poole newspaper being
'toted, and I was told that the cause of it was that
there was room in the Borough for a paper of • "
politl. al el....racier. From this I wsume that our
tool j..urnalirm I. c .nductisi either upon neutral or
stromily p.litical principle". AU I know IA that Poole
once botrto.l .4 a gao I I,ll.eral paper. I forget how
the matter stands now, but will try to find out.

A drnnirer to Ponle was visiting the town the othw
day. and tvld we that he wee struck with lb* large
number of bakers' shops he saw, and it was quite
natural for this remark to be made, for we hay* •
great man,; but I sh,tuld lie, our bread • great deal
better if I saw • smaller number of American flour
casks some to the town. It may be fancy on my
Part, but I stated a fact, neverthelewa

This reminds me, now that I have touched npon the
prolue • id cclumhia, that my advice was asked tile
other day Ly an enterprising American as to what
sort ,4 $ chance of cacaos he woad have in Poole if
1. °Wind 'a general store," and gold things twenty
e, vent. cheaper than anyone else for ready racegy.
Hs turned •n his heel very sorrowfully when I toll
bin that I had Just heard that Poole people only pay
ready money for two things—one I beer, and the
ether is a County Court summons. There is many •
true word spoken in jest.
Tidings have reach. d me concerning • new chapel
which is to be erected at Parkatone, not • very large
one, so I suppose it will look nethermost' compared to
tile church, ehkh ic co.. high" that it is higher thaw
li.uwu sieepk—nirabile dictu, it always was.

Talking of Parkstone,—llave you son —? No,
he doss not lire there, he is too near and dear to
Poole to do that. I mean, Hare you sees the Park-
stone atewepaper—the Remiader I think It la called.
It is an arnuaing little periodical, of • P",,,,r•lJ,,,___kc4 etwactor, an lis published in the parish. Wall ""*",
