Our means of communication with Poole for the
months of November, December, January, and
February have now been quite settled. The Lotbair
will make one trip each way on Tuesday and Satur-
days, and two on Mondays. For time. of wailing see
blur. The Lothair will be overhauled during February
and then the Plover will take her place.
The exodus of inhabitants still continues, The
gales of the furniture and eff eta of Mesdames Higgs
and Cattle, by Messes. Curtis and Sons, realised well.
The former is going to New Zealand next week. We
are glad there are some new comers, and among them
non* more Weioo6llll than J. Blossom*, Esq.
An interesting presentation will shortly be made,
vim, a number of brooms, shovels, and scrapers to the
hon. members of the LB. as • alight acknowledg-
matt of their put services in rejecting the overture of
the builder of the tower to any more "ornamental
Improvements," and as an earnest of our expectations
that the present roads will receive useful improve-
ments at their servants' hands; for if some of the
mud was removed off the urines we should all be the
more oleanlier and therefor* the more godly,
The new road to Northbrook will be • decided gain
to the parish, pro kited the present owner of the land
retain no right to close the road at his pleasure u
some other " benefact .re" take a delight in doing.
Are the members of the Board quite aura that the
slice taken off a d .ngerons corner at the dairv-field
bel mging to a J.P. will not one of than odd fort-
nights be railed off again as the exclusive property
still of the mar, who professed to give it to the public?
Look up all year den S.. gentlemen.
Hurrah for the beginning of 'he promenade and sea-
walL We yet hope to be • ire when the whole will lie
eight along the south shore from the pier
to the institute and from the institute to Snore-villa.
We cannot expect to do it all at ova& nor ought we
t bell-vs that visitors will "winter" where on wet
days they cannot take the air, without plunging
throngh mud or stumbling over tramways and stone
chipping& There are so many watering places as
quiet and much moist oomfortable which invalids end
stwienta can choose in preference to Swamies.
The magie.rates will have had another splendid
chance of surveying the work of their publicans this
week. Last week the struts presented specimens of
drunkenness from morning till night, and brawling
was the order in all directions. Surely it is time for
the sober and sensible public to make some vigoroo•
protestation to the Wareham Ben h, especially as
some of the licenses are to be transf-rred.
Hereton her given us an example of brutal vivisec-
tion. A number of young grsduatas for the gallows
actually skinned • living cat and let it go its miser-
able way, The magistrates are not over le.lsuit at the
beet of Uwe, so that we feel sure th-se wretches will
see the inside of a gaol for some considerable time.
Surely • little peeling of their skin by the cat itb
nine sharp tailawoold give them an useful idea of tannery.
Balls and cows have taken to straying of late.
Instead of taking them by the horns we belie.* the
P.C. has "taken • summons" oat for their owners so
that one way and another the new conir able hat been
compelled to get his grip on the collar of hi- neigh-
bours with • veogssoos. Loma.
