Wietith Anneammirs.—We believe the inhabitants
of tief toift fp the county of Dorset enjoy in a larger
degree the advantages of cheap rational amusements
than those residing in Plisndford, Almost every week
during the winter months we are fsvottred either with
cheap concerts, penny readings, or leetstrea, by which
not only is instruction imparted in a pleasing manner,
bat • harmonising and balutary influence is diffused
around. Foremost among those who have contributed
to these pleasures is the talented organist of the parish
chords (lira Edwards), who, with the assistance of the
Illandford Glee Union, gave the first of a series of
poptilin &omens on Tuesday evening, at the Townhall.
The nrogfamitte oon*ted of glees, choruses, songs, and
, 'Netts, the wheat, of wtrieb etre rendered in • manner
highly pleasing to the wildienos. It is hoped that
another of these entartsinments will, ere long, be given
by the Glee Union, and that It will be must more
numeronaly attended than the present one.
