LORD A LINGTON.

/rosily Foar has 3 capital caricature of Lord
Alington. Probably, no one will laugh at it more
than the noble Lord himself —only thin-skinned
people kick at these thinks. Mr. Fowler showed his
sense and good temper at an election caricature,
although others got rather "uppish." Vanity Fair
says —"Bunny' Sturt, presumably so called from
his mildness and, shyness, was born one-and-fifty years
ago. He went to Eton and to Christ Church, and on
leaving the latter place took up the profession of
working and waiting for the peerage which had
previously been declined by his father. Ile served
the Conservative Party well and perseveringly, a great
deal out of Parliament, and to some extent in it, for
he has a remarkable knack of learning long speeches
by heart and delivering them as thowli they were
impromptu. He has all his life been addicted to the
Turf, where, to his credit, he has voM neither much
money nor great popularity. He is wealthy, a
popular chairman at agricultural meetings, a good
sportsman, a fine rider, very hospitable, and on the
whole an excellent country gentleman. Moreover,
Mr. Disraeli once called him ' the champagne of
Society,' which furnished him with a reputation for
wit; and a short time since he attained the long-
wished-for peerage, only to illustrate it immediately
after by a wellmeant adventure Into other people's
business which, had it happened earlier, would have
cost him the coronet. He has a poor younger brother.

lIILERIIOIINE.

ON Monday a tramp, William Cleat, was brought
before Major Falwasser for vagrancy. P.C. Loader
found William in Horsecastles, acting in so strange a
manner am to MUIR) doubts in the constable's mind of
the state of his cranium. He had been examined by
Dr. Highmore, and found to be suffering from
deliriolio tremess.—A month's hard labour and a does
of teetotalism was the prescription of the Bench.
Os Tuesday the members of the Working Men's Read-
ing Room and their friends, with the kind pecuniary
assistance of Mr. Digby, made an excursion to that in.

and the various amusements usually orovided on such
occasions, enabled the children, some M In number, to
thoroughly enjoy themselves until nine o'clock.
ON Wednesday evening a party of excursionists
from Thomford to the cam_p at Poynungton were
returning in a waggon down Cheap-street, and stopped
near the Conduit. One of the number, a man named
James Lane, who had been sitting in the bed of the
w rose upon his feet just as the horse gave a
sullcaniorward jerk, and, losing his eouilebrium, he
'fell over the end of the vehicle into the road full upon
his head. Dr. Williams, who happened to be near
the spot, found him to be seriously injured in the
at, and recommended his immediate removal to

to be taken to his home at Thornton!. Ultimately

Too MUCH Or • GOOD THING.—Mr. Disraeli was quite
aimet in advising people to store up rain water In tanks
against drought, but there is in this country an equal
danger of having rather so° much of it. In house after
house ones eyes are offended by iliscolorations on the
walls, caused by damp, and we know of only one sure
remedy. the Petrifying Silicate Liquid, manufactured by
the Hffeete Pant Company of Liverpool. The truth of
these remarks Is evidenced by the ince...4 demand for
the article, and which has calmed the open!ng of offices in
London, at IUT, Cannon-street. We certainly advise all
who wager yruin damp houses to obtain all particubui of
this invaluable composition.

of age. The aggregate number of years lived by the six
persons is 131 years, and the aserage number therefore

contagious disease. One inquest has limin held in the
district during the quarter, the subject being a man who
died suddenly. The population of Sawanage to 2,151, and,
II having died out of this number, the death rate is DIM

A DRUNKEN FATHER'S FREAK.
At the Thames Police Court, James Hillier, an elderly
man, was charged with hanging his son, John, aged five
years, out of window by a rope. It appeared from the
evidence of Tilde Verdon, who cohabits with the defend-
ant, and Jane Peer, that on Wednesday night the prisoner
was intoxicated, and Verdon, being afraid of his violence,
ran out of the holm. Marti,' afterwards she returned,
and was horrified to WC her child, aged five years, sus-
pended by a cord out of the first floor window, about four
or five yards from the ground. A young man lifted the
chill up, and they unfastened the cord from under the
child's arms and round its neck. The child appeared to be
exhausted, and there were red marks on its throat and
beneath its armpits, where the cord bad been. The
defendant at the time was inside the first floor window,
and theateeed to shoot any person who came into the
room. Mr. Luablegtoe remanded the prisoner fora week,
for the attendance of the young man who cut the child
down.

.1.1111 *SUNDAY Soweb in this place has at length col-
lapsed. Only twelve months since it seemed quite in its
prosperity, many of the holies in the parish devoting their
time and services in teaching, and managing little matters
in connection with the school, as they had wen doing for
some years previous to the death of the late vicar. Since
then a decided want of interest has appeared where it
ought Mast to hove been expected; for this and other
reasons they have been otiliate.l to withdraw their assist
=CO, one after another, until Sunday week, when the
children received the no doubt joyful intelligence from
the only remaining teacher that the school would be
closed altogether ; and we are now rejoicing in noisy
streets, neglected children, a closed school, and an almost
empty church, whilst the chapels are being both well
tilled—se that disestablishinent seems already at work in
at least one parish of the diocese.
THE Treasurer snd Managing Committee of the Dorset
County Hospital must have been at a loss to understand
why the pariah of SYdling St. Nichdas lmr,ol withdrawn its
support from so good a cause. The late vicar either had
an annual Hospital Sunday, or very properly applied the
collections made at the harvest thanksgiving to, that
object. Whether the present incumbent thought the
crops not sufficiently abundant to call forth praise and
thanks to the bountiful Giver of all good things, or felt
that his two Sunday Services were all that could reasonably
be expected of him in one week, is uncertain. Suffice it
to say there was no thanksgiving service, consequently no
collection ; and Syslling would have been conspicuous for
its absence in the annual report had not Mrs. Henry
Duni-leg, who is always rmoly and willing to aid in any
good wbrk thot tetils either to the temporal or spiritual
welfare of Chives wilhin reach, taken the matter in Mold
istol canvassed the parish for that purpose, everywhere

DORSET COUNTY ELECTION.
(To the Felit.or of the Spectator.).

Sir,—ln your last number you suggested tlsrdi would
he unvrise on the part of the Liberal Glet.tors of Dorset to
support the tenant farmer, Mr. Fowler. at the coming
election. Your argument may not unfairly be para-
phrased thus :—" The tenant farmers should be taught
that the Liberals are their true friends the proper
method of teaching them this lesson is to leave them in
the lurch." To my mind, such a policy appears to he
selfish and suicidal.

True, Mr. Fowlers platform is not distinctively Liberal,
in the sense of party politics. But it includes the
ewialisation of local rating, representative county boards,
amendment of the game laws, gratuitous education in the
three " It's" without compulsion. awl a reasonable
Bill. None of these can be said to be distinctively, Gen.:
servative or Liberal, 11.4 things now go. But are they net
worth the support of all true Liberals. 'when the only
choice is between them awl the one sentence of adhesion
to the Tories which constitutes I ".aptain Digby's position?
But there is a still stronger reason which, in my.' ) '
should' induce all Liberals to give their support to Mr.
Fowler. Whether he be Conservative or l,iberal, his can-
didature is at least the molt of spontaneous movement
on the part of a large portion 44 the constituency, both
agricultural and commercial which resents the imposition
of a representative liy the county families, including
several peero. Is it not the duty of Liberals anywhere
and everywhere to support an honest representation, as
opposed to a mere sham? Or is the Government of the
country by itself only acceptable to Liberal editors when
it results in the return of Liberal partisans?
It Weals to me that your advice is ungenerous, and
therefore unwise. Let the Liberals join heartily in vod-
ka a few tenant farmers—even though professedly Con-
servative—to the House of Commons. There they will
learn soon enough how they are created by the country
gentleman party, as you a • aptly Gall it. They will
remember that Liberals helped their immediate friends
to send them to the House, ano that Liberal members are
their chief supporters. This is a more practical way, as I
think, of teaching them Liberalism than the "cruel
love" at which you have hinted as advisable.
I have troubled you at some length, because I fear that
your remarks may damage not only the cause of J.
Fowler, but the reputation of the Ither4 party for
geuerusity and helpfulness.— I nut, sir. Sic.,

LATEST NEWS.

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
Continued dulness remains the distinguishing char-
acteristic of the grain trade. Wheat has been difficult
to move, and only the lyest samples have maintained
full pikes There in every prospect of a depressed
trade for some week'; the enormous supplies on hand,
coupled with the fact that about 1,300,000 quarters
are on 'swage, had entirely destroyed the hopes of
holders. Our imp. rts actual, or near pnspe -the, are
about three months average, and during that period
we may fairly look for continued rplietners for May.
The coon.e of the market. will be more closely
regulated by the weather. and the appearance of the
growing crop. Trole rules stewly or depressed, as
prospects are gloomy, or favourable. Ile present
average price of wheat is fortyfour shillings and
sevenpence, or only 1.1. per quarter higher than last
year. Sound samples may be expected to keep
tolerably steady in value, but other sorts will cer-
tainly remain altogether irregular.
The remit has proved that in the calculations made
at last bar, eat time not sufficient credit was given for
the pnsbactive powers of foreign countries, hence the
Inaccuracy. Spring corn was dull.

(From the Deify rdmropit)

We are not surprised to find that the Liberals of
Dors.etshire are indisposed to accept the advice offered
by a correspondent a few days since. to hold aloof
from the present electoral contest in that constituency.
Both the candidates are Conservatives, hut it is not
entirely true that the appearance of Mr. Fowler in
opposition to Captain nigh), is only a domestic quarrel
of the Tory party. There are at least some matters
in which the Conservative tenant-farmer comes nearer
to the Liberals than the Cons-a-rative squire; and
there is at least something with which Liberals can
sympathise in the attempt of the tenant-farmers to
assert their independence. A correspondent, whose
tier we publish to.day, points out an important
difference between the two candidates on the vexed
question of the Burials Bill, which has a meaning and
an urgency for rural constituences which the people
of large towns can hardly appreciate. Captain
Dkhy takes the "no surrender" attitude; Mr. Fowler
suggests a compromise which rants at least a part of
what the rural districts want. This may be a reason
for giving Mr. Fowlhr help; hut apart Imm this we
know no obligation on members of a political party
to disfranchise themselves in the absence of a can.
dilate with whom they sympathise in all respects.
"Abstention' is very rarely wise; and probably it is
as a ru'e the best thing to give a vote to the best man
in the field. We have not much faith in thG policy
of the Conservative tenant-farmers. They would
probably form a • )mewhat impracticable wing of the
Conservative party ; but the breaking of old habits of
servility which seems to he going on among rural con•
stituences is one d those signs of social progress
which Liberals may regard with complacency, and to
which they may well extend such encouragement as
they can give.
Dorchester, Dorset, England, 1876-01-25

Ggrrumsg,—
'LAVING been solicited to allow tnyself to be
put in nomination for the approaching Vacancy
In the County repreaentation, I beg to offer myself as
a Candidate for that honour.

It is admitted that the Measures to be submitted to
the present Parliament are more likely to deal with
social than with political questions of a party nature,
auld the principle upon which I appeal for your sup-
port is this, that the claims of the agricultural interest,
which is so important in this County, will be best
served by a Representative drawn from the class of
Tenant I. armenr, this principle has been already acted
on in a few Counties, and does not imply any antago-
nism between Landlord and Tenant, The real interests
of the two are one and the same; but each has his own
views, and those interests will be best secured by a
clear expression of them by each. To express the
views of the Landlords you have already two County
Members; for those f the Tenants you have no one,
, and it is for that inirpome I appeal for your support.
The experience of a life devoted mostly to agricul-
tural interests and trade, the efforts which I have made
to advocate them at the Central Chamber of Agricul-
ture, and the knowledge which I have gained there
ill, I hope, entitle Inc to your confidence.
I am strongly of opinion that many of the burdens
which are now borne by Local Taxation should be
equally borne by all property, and any well-considered
measure for that 'nine., should have my hearty assist-
sure. I could not eupport the abolition of the Game
Laws, but would vest in the Tenant the control of
ground game.
I am in favour of the Education of all classes in any
way short of direct compulsion, which seems to me to
interfere with the due liberty of the subject.
Should you do me the honour to elect me as your
Representative, I should give an indepenient support
to the present Government, and make it my special
object to further the interests of the County.
I sin, gentlemen,
Yeur most obedient servant,
ROBERT FOWLER.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF Delves out of the way to give the real facts to
DORSET. the world. The Telegraph discovered a labourer
had been sent to prison by the Hastings Bench
for six weeks for stealing a cabbage. Eureka!
Another John Cr,,..! And forthwith the usual
tarring and feathering of "the great unpaid."
Unfortunately for the Telegraph, Hastings
posesses an intelligent Superintendent, and that
gentleman immediately wrote explaining that it
was not 1 cabbage but 10 that were taken, that
the prisoner was a drunken rogue, and that
there were half-a-dozen previous convictions
against him. Consequently, the " Daily
Gusher " subsides, and the Home Secretary
"declines to interfere."
