No. 12, Royal Crescent, at the lung room at tile back
the house, used as • laundry. The roof was in
trainee, but the hose was immediately attached to the
htdrant, and the fire quickly extinguished by the
police before it reached the house. Tile roof of the
laundry was much damaged. The fire is ['opposed to
have originated through a stove becoming overheated.
- AMATEUR DRAMATIC SOCIBTY.—On Tuesday evening
the members of this society gate their 27th performance
at the New Music Ball, the pieces bong " Teuipta,ion,
or the Irish Emigrant," and the farce of "The Area
Belle." Perhaps, owing to the numerous entertain-
ments which have vivited the town of late, the amateurs
were not so well patronised as previously, although
there was • tolerably fair number of persons preaetit,
who seemed heartily to enjoy the bill of fare provided.
BAZA4L—TIie first day's sale of fancy gouda in aid of
the fund for liquidating the debt on Radipule Church,
and for assisting the Church Missionary Society, the
Church Pastoral Aid Society, and the Jews' dochoy,
was hid at the Or ,maser school on Tueaday., the Rev.
J. El'is, the master, kindly placing die spot:ens school-
room at the diapm.al of the committee. The building
was well tilled with a variety of fancy goods, the fol-
lowing ladies, who kindly contributed work, presiding
at the stalls:— Mrs. Coles, Mhs Carpendall, Mrs. Coode,
Mrs. Thresher, Mrs. Greaves, re. Eliot, Mrs. Robert-
son, and Mrs. Talbot Refreshments were provided in
another part of the building„ in which, through the
kindness of Captain Thre.her, the band of the Way.
mouth Rifles discoursed an excellent selection of music.
The various stalls appeared to be well patronised, and
we hope the bazaar may be the means of entirely
removing the debt of 170 upon Radipole Church, con.
sequent on its restoration.

in this neighbourhord has now been held, and though
its members dispense with the procession and gorgeous
display which we witness at no many club festivities,
yet the Royal Oak Friendly Society is one of the largest
and most useful in the county. It does not prides* to
be altogether a sick club, but a Savings' Society, and
provides also for medical attendance, and a considerable
allowance at the death of a member OT his wife.

down to a sumptuous dinner at the Royal Oak Mr.
Charles Tucker presided, as proxy for a while until Mr.
T. Rom:well could arrive.

UNITARIAN SCHOOL TREAT.—The children belonging
to the above school had thiir annual treat on Tuesday
last. As usual, it came off on that picturesque spot,
Ripe Down. The children were conveyed to the
place in wagons. No one, without they have seen the
spot, can fully realise the splendour of the scenery to
be seen from that old spot. The children sat down to a
first-rate tea, and were waited on by their teachers and
other ladies, After the children had had their tea, the
teachers and other friends sat down and (ally enjoyed
themselves. After tea, scrambling for nuts, sweet-
meati, &c., cricket, kiss-in-the-ring, dancing (to the
crams of Horn's quadrille band) wan well entered into,
and fully carried °tit by all present. We cannot help
noticing how the Rev. W. Carpenter, Mrs. Carpenter,
and Mr. C,offor, interested themselves to promote the
harmony of the youngsters.

BRIDPORT CRARITIRB. The Sunday school festivities,
whioh we notice in another place induces us, this week,
to select the Sunday School Charity, as the next of our
series of articles on the above-named subject, and ere

exertions of so many zealous young people of both sexes

"Delightful task to rear the youthful mind,
To teach the young idea how to shoot."

We bid them God speed, and feel assured that when the
revolution of years shall have taken from them the
vigour of early manhood and blanched thsir hairs, they
will look back with pleasure to their labours of love
in their Divine Master's Vineyard, and see their pupils
grown up amouget them, and become good m mbera of
our glorious church, adhering firmly to that faith which
they had been taught in the school, and looking forward
with hope and faith to • blessed hereafter. The land
