DOROHIRSTIII.

A Warren in the Whirek4/1 Review tells of the
following ancedot• :—" A friend t,di me at dinner the
other evening of one of those awkward corardestps
which, happily, are of rare oocurrenoe. hie W. 114
travelling in iornersetabire, and had fqr his companions
• reverend gentlemen, with his wife, deughter, and
maid. Conversation after awhile became mutual, and
my friend open. I the subject of education, among
other things. Said he to the reverend gentleman, ' A
curious question was put to my sister when at school
ea • test qua ties at an examination—. What is the
name of the female fox?' -sad curiously, although my
mister had been born and bred in the count 2, and her
enamor the question. The answer is Vixen.' My
friend had no sooner said this than he observed • cloud
gather over the lady's brow' the daughter bluslee
the maid looked confused. while the clergyman stared
hard at him. Ignorant that he had given utterance to
anything indecorous, or likely to cause this sudden
change, he began to feel very much embarrassed, and
wee only aware of the extent of his iniqlity when his
clerical tie d rig handed him a card, whereon, to his
h wror, he road 'Rev—Fix, ----.Rectory,--,
Dorsetshirc. He of course tendered a profusion of
apolozies, and avowed his entire ignorance of the name
previously (which was • feat); but it was no good,
conversation was Imp seeible afterwards, and my
friend alighted at the nest station, glad enough to
escape from the predicament. [On • refefteoe to
' Crockford' we find the clergy of Dorset number but
one fox among them; how many wolves in sheep's
clothing awe may be is llot stated')

Election of the Chief Magistrates
of the Dorset Boroughs.

DORCHESTER.

The election of Mayor for the chief borough of the
county was a terribly tame affair. Some imagined that
Dr. Aldridge would have again been offered the com-
pliment, while others, more behind the scenes, were
ready to lay any odds that it would remit, as it did,
In the youngest of the Councillors being selected. It
was eery easy upon entering the Councilchambar •
1.. minutes before twelve to see into whoa, hands the
arrangements had been entrusted. Every arrival in
the shape of a Town Councillor wee at once button-
holed, • short confab followed, and then the lade.
pendent and spirited representatives of the people
took his sent, prepared to act exactly as he had been
ordered. No one will cavil at the selection at Mr.
Pope. He had large interests at stake in the town, is
a gentleman whose Intel act fully quelifies him to deal
clearly and capably with lb. " borultit question."
which must engage the attention of the Council in the
ensuing year, and, moreover, unless we are very much
mistaken, the turbulent sprits, who at on* time
threatened to make our Council a laughing stock, will
Sod they have a different president to deal with as
compared with Dome who have gone batons.
There was not • large attendance of Councillors,
" market-day* being a very convenient excuse for
abeenos. Present wens Dr. Aldridge (the retiring
Mayor). Aldermen Curme, Galpin, and LL Lock, and
Corm6llore Davis, Gregory. Barnett, Bennett, Raison,
Daniels, Frost, Newman, and Pope, with Mr. 11.
4ymonds (the deputy Town Clerk). Mr. Norman (the
Borough Surveyor), Mr. Chick (the Inspector of
Nuisances, and Mr. Coward (the Head Constable).
The minutes of the prerious meeting having bent
reed,
Mr. Alderman Loox rose and intimated that their
first bariums was to elect • Mayor for the ensuing
year. Ns Proposed that Mr. Alfred Pops be elided
Ur. Bunsen' seconded this; no hand was held n
In opposition, and accordingly Mt. Pope was declared
elected.
