NOTES OF THE WEEK.

I.—ONCZ MORE DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTION,
in America threaten to be subjected to the
experinesteme crecis. Last time, it was but
a split in the legislative power which pro-
duced a terrible as well as tedious civil war.
This time, it is the governing power arrayed
against the triumphant, not to say tyrant
majority of the legislature, that appears to
portend a conflict probably short, sharp, and
decisive betwixt the "powers that be" and
those that want to be. So much for the
uncertainty of an electivesovereignty.althougb
it may be only the sway of a President liable

stories are rife as always happens in America
' when anything, or nothing, is impending.
But the fact appears to be that if the Pre- '
sident attempts longer to withstand the
Congress, Congress will impeach the Pre-
sident. We have noticed in these columns
ere this, that Andrew Johnson (his real family
name is Johnstone) is not a man by blood,
bir.h, or family traditions, likely to be
daunted by hostile demonstration. A true

CONVOCATION.

To ae Edigor.

Dear Sir,—lt is remarkable that so soon after you
had drawn special attention to the subject of " Convo-
cation," that body should have been made so con-
spicuous, through the act of its most reverend president.
This shows that you had • more just appreciation of the
state of things in Church and State than the generality
of even English journalists. Long live the Dorset
County Expeu.
Three things I hope you will endeavour to impress
upon your numerous readers :
I. That the Archbishop of Canterbury is still con.
vineed "That 'Convocation will be duly eon/tilted
upon the matter before a decision is arrived at by
Parliament."

11. That the Earl of Derby thinks "That Convocation
should have an early uppmtunity of
_e.sprOssins its
opinion upon any import change which is contem-
plated with regard to church matters."
111. That it IS high time for the Evangelical clergy
and laity to awake out of sleep, for if Convocation does
not represent them, they are not represented at all; and
that if through neglect they allow evils to co on, which
they can prevent by timely effort, they will suffer the
due reward of their sin.

You can add, 0 ymu please. that u every Dissenter,
being a Christian, is a churchman also, if inclined to
exercise his privileges, and has • right to express his
wish in reference to " Church matters," every out ef
them is responsible before God for the spread of false
doctrine, which by timely remonstrance he can assist
In putting a stop to. Yours, to. N. P.

BEE KEEPING IN DORSET.

To tA4 Zdaor.

Sir, —The present seaaon appears very mfavoureble
to the bees, and upon down districts very little honey
will be found. I recommend bee owners to leave their
stock alone till another season. On heath diatricts the
honey harvest will be favourable. Several unfortunate
causes have occurred, and the enumeration of them will
not be unproSteble. When the orchards were in full
bloom (and et that time bees obtain their main supply),
the weather waa so cold and wet that bee. were unable

to go out, thus they lost the Wet important Ow when
they obtain their chief supplies Prom i the scarcity of
fodder, known by the high price of hay, afl flowering
greases, as vetches, French clover, Dutch ditto, were
cut off before flowering by farmers and gardeners.
A mortality appears to have °comma among wan
bees because many stocks died or WITS long
after the time usually considered mate for hives. I
lost one of mine in May, • most unusual fact, because
in March a stock that has passed through the winter in
ordinary years always gathers fresh strength. I hear
of others losing stocks under similar circumstances
Swarming, Hierefore, will be late, but too late to be of
much use, unless the swarms are largely fed, the reason
being that when bees are hard pushed they are more
disposed to seek their fortunes elsewhere, they betiome
impatient iunl irritable, and will take very long flights
on issuing if min the hive. I consider toter potmds of
bee f,,od.will hardly save • swarm, and it must be given
as wun as possible, as the blackberry, the last resource
of food is now in flower. What honey can be taken—
as extracting • ecrmb or two removing supers—should
be all done by Aug Uri, after which feed on warm days.
My plan of feeding by scalp plates with plenty of
chopped grass mixed with the food, and sprinkled over
the surfaoe will be found the best way. The plates may
be arranged about 30 feet from the hives if this plan
• great deal of water in the form of thin food can be
given without inconvenience. English honey will be
goatee, and obtain a good price.

appears that she, with her sister, Mies Mary Ann Parris,

a few minutes, she exelaimed, "I'm drowning." and
immediately sank. Agitates's was soon at band and
the body taken out, but *very effort to restore animation
on the part of Mr. T. H. Welch, surgeon, proved un-

known and respeeted in our neighbourhood, has excited
the sympathy of all &eases. An inquest was bald at
the Sandford Hotel, before Mr. Druitt, when a verdict
of " Accidentally drowned while bathing," was returned.
The jury expreneed an opinion that the old beach was
unsafe for bathing, and rettommended all bathers to go
to the new shore, where some excellent bathing may
be had.

FISH POACHING IN THE FRONK

To the Ilditor.

Sir, —I see in your journal of the 25th June, a letter
deploring an act of great rascality committed near
Dorchester by poachers, who took • large quantity of
trout from the river Frome. Some were disposed of in
the town on the following day and the remainder were
detched to London. To live in • civilized country
and have your property deliberately taken in this way,
is disgraceful, and Yordiagtos way now bo reckoned
owe o/18a moot prolific noes of depredators (a the !Meadow.
We are always boasting of the prOgress of the me in
civilization, and yet you cannot keep a few doh in a
river near such a village as Fordington. The farmers
probably would willingly assist in stopping such pro-
ceedings, but whilst they have under them menials who
for a few shillings or • little beer will lend themselves
to assist the poachers, by lowering or drawing the
sluices for them, what power has • master over these
scoundrels thus robbing the river in the middle of the
night, and sating the Imre which define the limits of
property at defence. The new Mali laws can easily be
put in force here as elsewhere, and if tho authorities of
the Duchy will consent to bear their part 1 for one
will readily beer mine. Seeing the letter in your
paper on this disgraceful act, I have been led to write
this article, and trust that active steps will now be
taken to search out and punish all future delinquents.
I am, your obedient servant,
