TIIE NEW STATION AT UPWEY.
To the Editor.

sia,—Ai the new station at Upwey ts shortly to be
opened, I would respectfully suggest to the Rail Way
Company, through your colonies, the desirabty of
running • train from Weymouth on Thursday rifteraoons
at 5.55, whieh will be freely patronised by the Somali
people who get holiday on that day. I tally believe
that the village of Upwey possesses so many altrae-
hong that it will be much resorted to dories the sum-
mer months fur picnic and pleasure parties, if the
same liberal fares are chargld us on the Weymouth
and Portland line, —I am, Sir, yours truly,

A PABAOIf Sll•ir AT Heti oVIN DuOß.—On Friday
morniog, Mrs. W. Pearce of Secub House, Baotou],
was shalriag a mat at the hick of her bouse, when she
fancied she was struck with a stone in the wrist, which
was found to be badly wounded. Mr. Lyebrem met Dr.
Hawkes in the Square, and called him in. The wound ,
had the appearance of • bruise, bat when Dr. Hawke°
wa•hed the mint, be found it, all smashed. He lifted
the wounded part, and saw what he thought was • bone
protroding, hut to his estonishment discovered it was a
bullet. Ile immediately obtained forceps, and extracted
it with some difficulty, as it was spilt. Both bones of
the arm were broken above the wrist. Mrs. Pearce
was standing facing the Verne and the soldiers were
vollepliring at the time. The distant* of &cub House
from the Verne is about 1400 yards. The bullet was
found to be similar to those used by the soldiers. It
has been ascertained that the first report about the
direction of the shot was ineorreet. The shot did not
come from the Verne, nor from the marines who were
practising at the East Weir, It Is believed that It
must have come from somewhere in the latter neigh•
bourhood, passing over lb. Grove. Mrs. Pearce is
doing tolerably well.
