THE DORCHESTER SATURNALIA.

A meeting was held in the Infante' Schoolroom on
Tuesday night for the purpose of making the necessary
arrangement' for the annual Fifth of NOVtalber
Demonstration. The Res. 11. Everett presided, sup-
portby Mr. Edwin Burnett, Rev. H. Puget 'talkies,
;Pike (lion. Sec.), and there was a large (attend.
acre.
The CHAMMAN said he ha I hese relied once again
to preside at that meetinr, the object of which he
believed wae t dec;de whether they should have a
demoneration on the sth of November or not. lie
notioad on the bills that bad been Wart it was said
the meeting was to be held for the purpose of making
the arrangements for carrying out the annual
demonstration, thereby t eking it for greeted there
was to be one. (Loud applause.) Of c ourse they
must be guide fin a great measure by those who were
present, who probably knew what the feeling of the
LA/0 was. If people were tired of the demonstration
and refused to eupport it, then the beet thing possible
would be to ,mielly let it drop, but if on the other
hand people were to t tired and still wished it to be re-
pirated, and were willing to contribute the sinews of war
(because, of course, without that they could not hope
to have it). then by all means let them have it. (Ap-
plause.) All he could say was. as he had said before,
If it was done let it be done well; but if there was
any chance of its not being held, let it quietly drop.
For the last two yesrs they had been rather unfor.
innate with regard to the weather; they had the fog
one year, which was not • very good thing for a firework
demonstration, lend last year they had • considerable
quantity of rain. But the third time was generally
considered tacky, and if they did boll it again he
hoped they would be more fortunate with regard to the
weather. (Applause.) One thing was certain. and
Mr. Pike would bear him out, last year more money
was collected than had ever been collected before,
thereby showing at any rate that the people of Dor.
cheater were not tired of it, end were ready to support
It. Whether that would be the case this year or not
he was not ins position to say, but the first thing was
to decide whether it should be held or riot. (Applitue
Mr. Batmen said he UMW with • great deal of
pleasure to propose" that the demonstration shall take
place. (Loud cheers.) If. believed this wool Ibe the
eighth year it had been held, and he believed it had
been • source of much amusement and pleasure, not
only to the inhabitants of the town, but to their
neighbours. (Applause.)
Mr. Mangan seconded the resolution, with the hops
they would have better weather than the last few
years, and that the clammier/Von would ba carried
oat well. (Applause).
The motion wee then put to the meeting, and car-
ried with great enthoola,m, some delighted youngsters
holding up both hands in support 0f the motion.

THE CHARGE OF CRUELTY TO A HORBE.

At the Borough Polio.-court, on Monday. before the
Mayor (H. Cordon, Esq.), Alderman Gregory, Dr.
Akkidge, IL. D.v.nlab,Beq , and J. Peard-Jillard,
lUD Marsh, farmer, of Higher Burton, wee charged
on remand with cruelly treating • horse. It will be
remembered the cam was adjourned a fortnight ago in
order to allow the magistrates to inspect the horse.
The animal having been brought to the street
outside the hall, the Bench made a careful inspection,
and while in doing the officer f the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Mr. Osborn) milled
the attention ,tf the Bench I t the fact that the borso's
bead wee held by one of the defendant's witnesses,
and when walking the horse wee prevented from
displaying much of it. lameness. He also remarked
that the horse had been re-shod, and the hoof con.
sklerably cut down.
On the magistrates resuming their seat', Mr.
Howard complained that the officer had been talking
with them behind hie back. He (Mr. Howard) had
ly refraioed from being printout during the
=on.
The Mayor rerlied it was only conversation gener-
ally.
Mr. Howard oontboned he had obtained the attend-
mos of • wel -known veterinary from Bridpott, Mr.
Bannister, who wee prestnt, but he had given strict
orders that nobody was to say • single word. If the
(salon had said anything. be could only say it wee
Completely out of phew. The inspection was ordered
only for the migistrates to view the borse, and nothing
more, and he had told Mr. Bannister not to say •
single syllable.
The Inspector: I only drew the magistrates' atten-
tion—
Mr. Howard: Yoe had no right to do it.
The inspector •* Yes, I had the right.
Mr. Howard: You had not, and I only regret I
did not go down. The case was closed, and it was
simply for view.
The Coon was clewed, and the magistrates deliber-
ated for some time, and on the public being admitted,
the Mayor said the Bench bad carefully nomddered
the owe. At the last hearing the magistrates, not
=armlet:sad with the conflicting o lons of the
had ordered animal to
he prod.:RA.6W; bad inspected it, and were now
unanimously of opinion that the hone mold not be
worked without pain, and they had decided to inflict
• nominal penalty of Is. and met.. The
also wished him to express their desire that the horse
should be destroyed; of course Mr. Marsh could not
do that, thst would be for the owner. At any rate, if
the bone was found working In the future the owner
should most decidedly be summoned.
Mr. Howard said his instructions at the present ,
moment were to give notice of appeal, and he asked I
them to az the roe gni:6lloM
The Inspector: The penalty must be above 40i. to
allow you to appeal.
Mr. Howard : That is my look-out, not yours. You
have already broken the boon& of the law. I should

The Mayor: We don't think be has broken his

SUNDAY CLOSING AND DRUNKENNESS
IN SCOTLAND.
A return issued on Tuesday of the number of con•
el-tints, for drunkenness on Sunday in Se Aland from
1874 to 1882 shows clearly that Sunday cloning does
not necessarily stop Son.lay drinking. The figures,
intend, almost warrant the opposite conclusion, show-
ing as they do a steady increase of the drunkards'
list during the past six years. In 1876 the number of
convictions f,r drunkenness on Sunday was 1866,
whereas la•t you It was 2530, or nearly double.
